Mary Cheney
I have other fish to fry so I'm not devoting a lot of time to the phony controversy over Mary Cheney. One thing I can't let pass is today's comments on Fox News Sunday by Bill Kristol. Kristol's phony anger over the comment made me sick (Kristol called Kerry's comment "creepy"). Here's a story about what was written about gays in Kristol's Weekly Standard a few years ago. Here's a short synopsis: Bill Bennett wrote a gay-bashing story in the Weekly Standard that used the discredited and fraudulent research of Paul Cameron. When Elizabeth Birch wrote a letter to the editor protesting this, Bennett cited another researcher (Jeffrey Satinover) who supposedly had findings that allegedly supported Cameron's work. REALITY: This other supposed researcher was not a researcher but, like Cameron, a gaybashing activist. The supposed independent research was comprised of citations to Cameron's debunked pseudoscience. To date, no retraction or apology from the Weekly Standard.
Teaser: Satinover and Cameron are mentioned in the long article I will post later today.
