THIS MAN IS JUST PLAIN HORRIBLE!
Ken Mehlman Co-Chairing Major Fundraiser in Case Against Prop 8Just got off the phone with Chad Griffin, Board President of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the organization challenging Proposition 8 in federal court, regarding former RNC Chair Ken Mehlman and reports that he is about to come out of the closet.
Griffin tells me that Ken Mehlman is chairing a major fundraiser in late September that has already raised over $1 million for the organization battling Prop 8. The fundraiser is co-chaired by prominent Republican donors Paul Singer and Peter Thiel and will be held at Singer's home.
A large number of other Republicans are co-hosts of the fundraiser including Mary Cheney, Margaret Hoover, and Steve Schmidt. Dick Gephardt is also among the hosts.
Said Griffin to Towleroad:
"Mehlman has committeed his own resources and been an integral part of the team at the American Foundation for Equal Rights. Our goal is to get as many people who aren't on the side of gay marriage on our side, and once they are here, to welcome them."
Said AFER board member Dustin Lance Black:
"Ken represents an incredible coup for the American Foundation for Equal Rights. We believe that our mission of equal rights under the law is one that should resonate with every American. As a victorious former presidential campaign manager and head of the Republican Party, Ken has the proven experience and expertise to help us communicate with people across each of the 50 states."
Ain't it amazing how, after championing institutionalized homophobia and 19th-century thinking, these closet cases suddenly wake up, smell the discrimination and *presto* want to be considered good guys after all?
ReplyDeleteGay good guys, even.
Are we supposed to forget about all the damage done by these hypocrites, put on a happy smile and make nice to them?
WTF are they thinking?
You're right.
This is a horrible man who has a lot of repentance to pay.
