Frequent poster and Worthy Adversary ImpeachBush recently posted a series of comments in regard to my post below taking Joe Solmonese, current head of HRC and erstwhile head of EMILY'S List, as well as EMILY'S List founder, Emily Malcom, for their endorsement and large monetary support of FMA-supporter Inez Tenenbaum.
ImpeachBush argues for Solmonese and Malcom with the following:
Emily's List has a charter, and collects money in good faith from donors that they will support candidates that are pro-choice. BOTTOM LINE. That was Joe's job.
Based on that, ImpeachBush, I have a challenge for you -- a very simple one.
Answer yes or no to the following two questions:
Question 1: It is acceptable and not "self-loathing" in any way, shape, or form for a gay man or woman, as the head of a chartered organization that collects money in good faith from donors that the organization will support candidates who are in line with its chosen policy, to support with money and endorse a candidate who espouses a view that is patently antigay, so long as that candidate is in line with the chosen policy.
Question 2: It is acceptable and not "self-loathing" in any way, shape, or form for a gay man or woman, as the founder of a chartered organization that collects money in good faith from donors that the organization will support candidates who are in line with its chosen policy, to support with money and endorse a candidate who espouses a view that is patently antigay, so long as that candidate is in line with the chosen policy.
We're waiting. Anyone else may feel free to answer as well.
