1134 - Lumping

Lumping people together. What about it? It's easier to target your hate speeches that way. Here's a little diddy from 'Mean Gheen' of the tea baggers. What are they tying together? Why illegal immigration and homosexuality! There's a perfect fit for you. Illegal immigration and homosexuality. What could go better together? Let's toss in people with red hair while we're at it. They always seemed a little suspicious to me. It goes just as well as the other two.

There's a 9 min video link in the text. It's mostly about immigration. But it's interesting how many people he bashes in both parties.

******************************

William Gheen, head of the conservative, anti-"amnesty," anti-illegal immigration group Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC), spoke at a Greenville, S.C. Tea Party rally this weekend and called for Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to "come out of that log cabin closet."

According to Gheen, being gay is "a secret that Lindsey Graham has."
Gheen told the crowd: "I hope this secret isn't being used as leverage over Senator Graham, so today I think Senator Graham, you need to come forward and tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality."

"Barney Frank is more honest and brave than you," Gheen continued, referring to the openly-gay Massachusetts congressman.

ALIPAC has posted the video titled "US Senator Graham is Gay" on YouTube, where various news outlets have covered it.

At one point, the video contained the tags "queer" and "fag," which Gheen told HuffPost were the result of a hacked YouTube account. When Gheen was informed of the keywords, he replaced them with less incendiary language.

The group defended itself Monday, and in fact doubled down on calls for Lindsay Graham to admit his homosexuality.
