Blankenhorn Freaks Out the Freeps (And It's All Romney's Fault)

By Baxter

We cats thought we'd check in on our right-wing nutjob friends over at Free Republic to see how they were feeling about Willard Mitt Romney's Casper Milquetoast speech to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. Well, their disgust — remember, they love "Herb" Cain and his electrified border fence — was predictable and, ultimately, kinda boring.

But then, luckily, we got sidetracked by a really swell story — that of laughable Prop 8 "expert witness" David Blankenhorn and his recent one-eighty on marriage equality. Now, Mr. Blankenhorn says, "Legally recognizing gay and lesbian couples and their children is a victory for basic fairness."

Cue the Freepers. Boy, are they upset and mad! And even Willard does not emerge unscathed. So without further ado, here are some of their choicer comments. Enjoy!

"A direct line of causality can be drawn to the nomination of Mitt Romney, the father of Gay Marriage in America."

"The best that can be said about these turncoats is that they are cowards of the lowest order!"

"It is so very, very strange that Blankenhorn has suddenly announced his reversal on this issue. Someone got to him. But how?"

"Is 'David Blakenhorn' Mitt Romney’s pseudonym?"

"Whenever I read about a high-profile 'conservative' who lives and works in New York City, I always wonder if he's just a latent homosexual waiting for the right opportunity to come out of the closet. I swear, that place is a breeding ground for stunted misfits."*

*(Yep, we cats saved the best for last. We'd bet money that this final commenter wept copiously for New York's sufferings on 9/11, hailed Gotham's police and firefighters as the bravest in the world, slapped a "Never Forget" sticker on his car, and vowed bloodthirsty revenge. Ironic, no?)
