Related: About this forumLindsey Graham Is Dangerous
I've been watching this right wing lunatic on the sunday talk shows for years and have known that this guy is a dangerous person to be allowed to even open his mouth when it comes to international affairs, he's one of those real tough guys when he's sitting behind a microphone but as the President proved earlier this week, he isn't scared of this asshat, his lies, or his nasty, despicable rhetoric.
What did Lindsey have to say when Booosh ignored the warnings about Bin Laden attacking Americans on our own soil, which eventually led to the 9/11 attacks on the WTC???? And when Booosh started a 7 year war with a country that had very little, if nothing, to do with the 9/11 attacks based on incorrect/false intelligence relating to Iraq's possession of WMD's?????
The hypocrisy and blatant racism of the Republican party is exactly why they lost the Presidency and could only keep the House by gerrymandering the voting districts. But instead of learning the obvious lessons of this election they are actually doubling down and Lindsey Graham is the face of the ignorant far right fools in America and he's the typical hypocrite the baggers love soooo much. They are obviously VERY desperate to go after President Obama and attempting to create a phony scandal out of a tragedy is all he's got. He like much of the rest of the GOP only look more insane each and every day. It's obvious the election has driven all of them off the deep end.

(23,372 posts)And it's perfectly valid to do so. It's funny, because he is quite obviously a homosexual, and I say that as a gay man. There is no doubt about it. I have no idea whether he is sexually active. Either way, it would be relatively simple to get the people of South Carolina (enough of them) to get sufficiently creeped out about him such that his political goose would be cooked. It's not even that he is homosexual, but that he is ashamed of it.

(12,541 posts)for the most part know his sexual proclivities and only vote for him because he doesn't like the coloreds either. In South Carolina you can get elected just for having an R after your name, even if your name is Goering or Stalin.
In fact, one of his opponents once called him "light in the loafers" Lindsey.
Somehow, those who vote for him don't care despite their vociferous homophobia otherwise. Neutralization ain't happening any time soon.

(23,372 posts)The problem with the Democrats is that they don't know how to politically annihilate their opponents. I believe that most of the right-wingers in South Carolina think he is a "bachelor" that may have been confused at some point. But what if Graham was really predatory with his male staff members like Tom Foley? What then? I think they would quickly drop him.

to be an example. Something only someone in public service has the unique ability to do.
