wayne madesen: Bush's gay Air force past suppressed

[darkbeforedawn]

Sep. 26, 2006 -- According to individuals who investigated George W. Bush's stint in the 147th Fighter Group of the Texas Air National Guard (TANG), the GOP's top dirty tricksters, notably Karl Rove and Roger Stone, interceded to derail the investigation and, instead, have CBS focus on Bush's faxed, scanned, and Xeroxed original TANG records -- which were later hyped by the right-wing media as fakes.<br><br>The reason for the GOP's concern was that the investigation was getting dangerously close to exposing Bush's suspected homosexual activity with other members of his TANG unit. Given the times and culture of the early 1970s, investigators were surprised to discover Bush's frequent association with an abundant number of gays in the unit, which was nicknamed the "Champagne Unit." Bush's homosexuality is the bête noire of Bush's past for GOP political operatives, precisely because of the anti-gay stance of the Republican right and its Christian fundamentalist base.<br><br>In 1976, the Bush family sent George W. Bush to El Paso's Worthy Creations, a Christian gay conversion center. From that time on, Bush became a tool of the Christian right and a self-hating homosexual. The investigation of Bush's gay activities in the TANG unit would have unraveled Bush's new "straight" persona. The GOP went to battle stations to prevent Bush's past from being resurrected.<br><br>Bush's alleged homosexuality in college was hinted at in Kitty Kelley's massive biography of the Bush family, The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, which was released at about the same time as CBS 60 Minutes was investigating Bush's National Guard stint. In the case of Kelley's book and the gay charge, the criticism came not from the GOP operatives but from their allies in the corporate media, including the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz, who is married to a GOP operative. While Bush attended all-boys Andover prep school (nicknamed "bend over"), Bush, not able to make it as an athlete, instead became a male cheerleader. At Yale, Bush, according to Kelley, had a "special relationship" (i.e., gay relationship) with Victor Ashe, his room mate and fellow cheerleader. Ashe, a former Mayor of Knoxville, is now Bush's ambassador to Poland. At the Delta Kappa Epsilon frat house, Bush became known as "a jock sniffer." <br><br><br><br>Bush's "Turd Blossom" Karl Rove killed 60 Minutes investigation of Bush to prevent Bush's gay past from becoming 2004 campaign issue.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Our late friend, a wonderful human being who helped convince jeff here that I was legit<br><br>often discussed this past of Bush's with me and a number of folks from DU and elsewhere<br><br>(he was banned briefly from DU and was active on another board where we often chatted. He and I spoke several times during his last year and months - but moslty about election fraud.<br><br>But Andy, who was openly gay, was the first person I know of to mention the gay connection of Bush to Ashe (nice literality there, huh?)<br><br>anyway - just wanted to mention that I heard it from Andy first. He said it was very reliable and well known in the gay community and that there was plenty of evidence out there to demonstrate it.<br><br>And I consider Andy one of the most honest and wonderful and well-researched men I have ever known. <p></p><i></i>

DB -<br><br>As a lesbian, I dont much apreciate the equating of W's potential homosexuality with "notorious freak".<br><br>If anything, the inability to be who he truly is, if this IS indeed the case, is what is freakish, and freakish-inducing.... <p></p><i></i>

hmmmm... male prostitute visits white house 200 times... <br>Of course he is gay, you can see it in Laura's eyes. <p></p><i></i>

right - thats no bulletproof vest under his suit all the time, its a pink chiffon tutu. <p></p><i></i>

This is so tricky. As a bisexual, I want to second Pazmaker's concern but also acknowledge that closeted homosexuality is an area rife with possibility for blackmail and manipulation. As society gets more open about such things, it's less so...but not much especially in the Republican ranks or the ranks of Skull and Bones, for that matter. <br><br>Obviously, we all obviously drool over the idea of such a grand hypocrisy being exposed...but how many will take it as hypocrisy and how many will take it as "he's a fag so I hate him"? And when it starts to link, as I feel sure it does, with the prostitution rings...some of the prostitutes being underage...then "gay = pedophile" emerges as well. No one here on this board, I feel certain, believes that, but it's such a challenging line to walk when trying to out only that which should be outed.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>then "gay = pedophile" emerges as well.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>ARRRRH, that one really trips my trigger. I'm thinking of how the Boy Scouts banned gay scout leaders, I think it was. And the Catholic Church has had plans to not ordain gay priests. Celibacy is celibacy, for Christ's sake. And pedophiles come in all flavors. <p></p><i></i>

Even Bush has the right to practice his preffered sexuality as long as it doesn't predate on someone else(at least involuntarily). That so many people, even here, feel better to arm themselves with mockery and dismissal as a wedge against accepting the fact that <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>monsters as thus percieved by us exist and are in charge for a reason, of which ultimately we ourselves play a defining role</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->..<br><br>This is very disheartening for me. I don't see many attempts here so much of interpreting and understanding an adversary as I do the assasination of all that adversary's attributes. Those attributes are in place for a reason, and as long as the unwillingness exists to comprehend those attribute's architectures, the vaccum will always perpetuate where one monster is constantly replaced by another.<br><br>This is a social fault, cyclic and enduring beyond the scope and thrust of any single villian or group, and one we are all collectively guilty of allowing to persist. I don't think monsters define society, but clearly see society as the monster's(sometimes fertile) breeding grounds.<br><br>If they sicken us, we are the ones that must first change if we ever seek to eliminate them. <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i></i>
