Hey, Look At That! Religious And Political Repression, Shame, And Hypocrisy Strike Again!

GOP Candidate And AZ Sheriff Admits He’s Gay After Accusations Surface That He Dated An Illegal Immigrant  Gosh, where to start?  Do as I say, not as I do?  Pay no attention to the man behind the closet door?  Anti-immigrant, but he gots a taste for the hot sauce?  Oh, Sheriff Babeu, this is what happens when you throw your lot in with what should be your sworn enemies:  People point and laugh when your hypocrisy is exposed!  From Mediate.  Excerpts:

Arizona is currently in the midst of a very fiery sex scandal as Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, a well-known anti-illegal immigrant proponent and Republican Congressional candidate, has been exposed as gay by a source telling the Phoenix New Times that he was Babeu’s ex-lover, and that Babeu threatened him with deportation several times when he refused to promise to keep the affair under wraps. Babeu responded by admitting in a press conference that he was gay, stepping down (from)the Romney campaign(Ha!), and denying the rumors that he threatened anyone with deportation.

..
As the relationship soured, Babeu allegedly sent his lawyer’s after Jose. “The latest of the alleged threats were made through Babeu’s personal attorney, who’s also running the sheriff’s campaign for Congress in District 4,” according to the New Times. José provided text messages and the above photos, as well as an Adam4Adam (think OKCupid’s less self-important gay cousin) profile. Gay culture and politics blog Towleroad reports that the couple met through a Gay.com (Match.com’s less self-important gay cousin) profile. José began, he says, working with Babeu by keeping his social media and web work up to date, but they eventually began an affair. The Tuscon Citizen, another local publication, is deeming this a “sex slave operation,” but that doesn’t seem to be based on any information not in the Phoenix New Times report.


Turns out, Jose's not here illegally!  Let's see, Babeau and Jose dated for over five years, and the Sheriff doesn't know his immigration status!  Keen..  Observational..  Powers..  Bonus:  This was the guy from the McCain "build the fence!" commercial!  If this scandal were dessert, I'd have diabetes!

Already, some conservative sites(Won't link to these idiots) are calling out anyone calling out Babeau as "gay hating progressives."  Ask yourselves, douchebags, wasn't it social conservatives that made faggotry a life or death political issue in this country?  It's not "gay hating" as much as it is "hypocrisy hating," especially when there are sooooo many more important issues our country should be dealing with!  Damn, people!  Grow the fuck up and stop caring who kisses who, and concern yourself with what's crumbling faster:  Our economy, or our Infrastructure!?!

Also:  Will Fox News ever have Babeau back as a guest?
