The New Right-Wing Meme – Obama Is Gay

[47of74]

From Addicting Info;

In the eyes of homophobic America, it’s impossible to support the rights of the LGBT community without actually being gay. So, of course, the moment President Obama declared that he believed that LGBT Americans should have the right to marry, the internet and tabloids lit up with rumors of gay scandals. This article quotes a story from the tabloid, The Globe and adds this paragraph to add the appropriate amount of credibility:

Let’s see, Barack Obama. Not that manly. Admits he used coke. Married to mannish wife with big, muscular arms (although in all fairness, she does have a nice behind). Could he have done coke and had gay sex with an ex-con Larry Sinclair? It doesn’t seem completely implausible. Still, in all fairness, without any further evidence and with just the Globe on the story, it’s hard to give Larry Sinclair’s story too much credence. However, if it does turn out to be true, well then Barack Obama — come on out of the closet, man.

In the same shallow way that Bill Clinton was anointed the first Black President, Newsweek’s Andrew Sullivan claimed Obama was the first Gay President. For the majority of Americans who are unwilling to read beyond the headlines, that single Newsweek cover could be all the proof they need of yet another reason that Obama isn’t “one of us.”

Sigh.

1. And Mitt Romney is an Android.

[SoutherDem]

12. What has an android done to you?

Your giving androids a bad name.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. Damned Android

Keeps fucking with my Kindle Fire.

27. He's a Cylon!

and I'm not voting for a skinjob!

[KurtNYC]

33. Mitt Romney was obsessed with a gay classmate in prep school,

he gets very passionate about hairdressing and he lies about his wife -- 'I changed when I met Ann.' (He met his future wife when he was in the 4th grade.)

Seems like Romney was pretty desperate to prove he wasn't gay then and he is a habitual liar now so maybe...Hmmmmm...

not only our first black president but he is gay too?

Well it might be news to Michelle and the other women Barack has seen in his life
but to me calling somebody gay is not an insult.

[malaise]

3. I always thought it was the other way around

The homophobic ones are gay.

[SoutherDem]

13. Many are it is a good way to hide

[cali]

4. new? are you kidding? That's an enduring right wing meme. Larry Sinclair ring a bell?

[JitterbugPerfume]

5. That would be awesome!

Gay men are smart and cool .

[trixie]

9. Not the Log Cabin ones

[bluestateguy]

6. If they want to do that "He The Other" approach to the campaign, so be it

I'm sure Americans can be made to learn about Romney and his Mormonism.

[Politicalboi]

7. Cool!

Who's gonna tell Michelle?

[JI7]

8. this is not new, they have been saying he is gay for years, the thing is don't they claim people

decide to be gay ? that it's not how they are naturally ? and that's one of the reasons they use to justify denying them rights .

when i read some of the freeper posts it sounds like their own fantasy of Obama.

[murray hill farm]

10. Of course they believe he is gay!

Because it is beyond their comprehension that anyone would ever support any issue that did not effect and benefit them personally. They cannot imagine what it is like to be a person of empathy with other human beings and because of this they only support what will benefit them. The only way they can make sense of it is to figure if he supports gay rights, then he must be gay. That is the only explanation that makes sense to them because they cannot imagine any other explanation. That is how they think.

19. You hit the nail on the head.

That is exactly how they think. Good post.

[zbdent]

11. wait ... a guy who has been married for a long time, has children with that wife, is "gay"

and yet a guy who has had 4 wives, AND NO CHILDREN ... is not?

I thought that, a few months or so back, the meme was that he was checking out some woman's ass ...

[Jamaal510]

17. You beat me to it...

And what's the deal with Marcus Bachmann? It's funny how the conservative media never ambushes this guy who considers himself "ex-gay", yet they want to spread false rumors about a guy being homosexual who has a wife and two daughters! Yet another case of IOKIYAR.

[longship]

14. Thank you very little, Newsweek.

The pic is awesome, just by itself. It didn't need the incredibly stooooopid caption. Let's make a strong statement about the president, then let's tell a big lie to be provocative. I hope the Sr Editor that approved that cover was fired post haste.

[Speck Tater]

15. As long as they don't find out he's really from Mars...

... then our plot to conquer planet Earth is safe.

[Kablooie]

20. And Michelle is from Venus. Doesn't sound very gay to me.

[hifiguy]

25. I thought he admitted he was from Vulcan.

[Speck Tater]

34. Obvious disinformation to throw them off the trail. nt

[Tarheel_Dem]

18. "Manly wife"? Because she has toned arms?

[Number23]

21. Girl, I was about to say the SAME DAMN THING

"Mannish" wife? Why? Because she's tall? Because she'd educated? Because she was successful in her own right? What the fuck is "mannish" about Michelle Obama?

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. You & I know that Michelle Obama is "Every Woman". They hope to turn that against her.

It won't work. Trust.

[Fawke Em]

26. Yeah... so "manly."

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. That is one gorgeous woman. They've got nothing, so they're down to namecalling? Real mature.

[eShirl]

28. Because she doesn't act like the Women's Movement never happened.

She has her own opinions and speaks in public, for starters.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. That's exactly it. She's not the Stepford wife they're accustomed to.

[GoCubsGo]

23. There is not one damn thing "mannish" about Michelle Obama.

Arms included. Assholes.

[slackmaster]

24. Impossible.

Muslims can't be gay.

[AsahinaKimi]

29. Republicans are so, so lame...

This just proves it.

[ieoeja]

30. I have relatives firmly convinced that I am gay because I speak in favor of equality.

I don't even bother denying it. It's not like I was planning to have sex with any of my relatives which is the only reason my orientation should be an issue.
