“The Southern Poverty Law Center is a massively funded liberal organization that operates under a veneer of public justice when, in fact, they seem more interested in fundraising ploys than fighting wrongdoing. “This is a deliberately timed smear campaign by the SPLC. The Left is losing the debate over ideas and the direction of public policy so all that is …

Sorry for the last minute notice, but based on suggestions from the Facebook gang, we’ve decided on the Westbury Bar for tomorrow’s 8pm JMG reader meet-up in Philadelphia. Westbury is at 261 South 13th Street in the heart of the gayborhood and (I’m told) meets our requirements of dive-y, friendly, and not too loud. I hope to meet lots of …

Dan Savage weighs in on Diaper Boy. David Vitter, of course, is a whoremonger and a conservative Christian who supports “family values.” But Vitter is right with God and right with his constituents—and will most likely get his rightwing ass reelected—because, you see, he at least has the decency to hate the homos. Vitter supports a constitutional amendment banning same-sex …

“Why should the only woman running for state office be excluded? The debate shouldn’t be a boys only club. Excluding blacks and women just because we lack access to huge special interest campaign contributions is just wrong. I favor letting all legal candidates debate. I earned my place on the ballot by filing over 22,000 valid voter signatures. I am …

The voters of Louisiana are clearly unconcerned with the admitted hooker patronage of “sanctity of marriage” defender, conservative Christian, and serial adulterer Sen. David “Diaper Boy” Vitter. As one of the Senate’s chief sponsors of the (failed) Federal Marriage Amendment, Vitter called the banning of same-sex marriage “the most important issue” before Congress. He also said that gay marriage would …

Tea Party candidate Mike Spears has challenged Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) to a cage match over Vitter’s admission that he has patronized prostitutes. “In early America, when a politician insulted the honor of another, a duel was in order.

Following a complaint filed by seventeen state Attorneys General last week, Craigslist has pulled its Adult Services section. Craigslist did not announce the move and its blog was not updated as of Saturday morning. Craigslist did not immediately respond to email and voice mail messages seeking comment.

Last week Sen. David “Diaper Boy” Vitter easily won the GOP primary in Louisiana despite having been named in 2007 as a regular patron of the famed DC Madam. Vitter later admitted to patronizing prostitutes and committing adultery, but since he’s a hard-right conservative “sanctity of marriage” defender, the GOP has given him a pass. Watch the DNC’s “suspense thriller” …

This morning I noted Focus On The Family’s repulsive attempt to prevent schools from teaching that it’s wrong to beat up gay kids. Over at Alternet blogger Alvin McEwen has discovered that Focus is actually citing Dr. George “Lift My Luggage” Rekers in their anti-gay materials. You read that right. Our “beloved” solicitor of “luggage lifters,” George Rekers. Even after …

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, the man who paid Dr. George “Rentboy” Rekers $130,000 in his bid to keep gay adoption illegal, has lost his GOP primary bid to become his state’s next governor.
