Flashback: Log Cabin Republicans attempt character assasination of Gore

Log Cabin's Kevin Ivers alerted the media to this photo of Gore and Fred Phelps Jr.

Anti-bias and antidiscrimination protections for gays and lesbians? We won't be getting them courtesy of Log Cabin darling Kolbe. "It is equally right for Republicans to oppose special privileges for any group -- quotas or special legal protection," he told the gay Republican group.

The Log Cabinites seem to believe that the majority of politically- active gays dislike them solely because of their partisan affiliation, and like gay members of the now-discredited Green Party, they whine that they're attacked simply for not being Democrats.

The truth is, gays in political life largely despise the Log Cabin for engaging in both willful stupidity, and the hate tactics of the GOP right wing. Last October, Log Cabin functionary Kevin Ivers gleefully alerted the media to a photograph of Fred Phelps, Jr. son of the execrable Reverend "God Hates Fags" Fred Phelps, Sr. --posed warmly with Al and Tipper Gore. Ivers' clear intention was to link Gore with the revolting homophobic message of the Phelps ministry. Log Cabin's Kevin Ivers alerted the media to this photo

In fact, the photo was taken in 1989 when Phelps Jr. was affiliated with the treasury of the Kansas Democratic Party, one of those keepsake "here-I-am-with-a-famous-person" pictures sought by many minor functionaries in both parties. Nevertheless, the Log Cabinites attempted to use the photo to connect Gore with the infamous Fred Phelps Sr. So much for hate tactics.

The Log Cabin has yet to realize that the new GOP courtship is nothing but the two-faced cunning of a contemptuous gold-digger. When the right wing has drained dry the puddle of fake legitimacy LCR can afford them, Log Cabin will find itself out in the cold again. Out in the cold, but charred nonetheless--for as BuckcuB's Grammy was fond of noting, "If you play with fire long enough, you're bound to get burned."

And as everyone knows, folks who live in a Log Cabin shouldn't play with fire.
