I’m not going to write much about this one, but if there was a land where irony met hypocracy, the GOP would be that homeland.
The GOP have been grabbing at military figures to promote the benefits of the war, through their own story. Propping them up as symbols of America, Freedom, our ability to be the ones in the right in starting and completing our engagements in Iraq and sending the message that any such criticism of the war is completely polar to those beliefs and down right unAmerican. One such tool is marine Cpl. Matt Sanchez who recently appeared on right-wing talk shows to discuss how he was mistreated by some of Columbia’s “radical” anti-military students. He’s also the military representative making appearances at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference where Mitt Romney introduced Ann Coulter and she made her comments of John Edwards being synonymous with “faggot”.
The irony here is that it turns out that Matt Sanchez is also known as Rod Majors in several gay porn movies; something that stout conservatives are whole heartedly against, let alone being associated with someone involved in those circle jerk sessions. Joe. My God. broke the story that was quickly picked up by Keith Olbermann as a national report.
Here’s another take on this story from Huffington.
Something tells me we’ll see more of both Republicans and secret gays to come…..
