“Barack Obama: The First Gay Porn President”

The Washington Post’s front page Style story today covering this past weekend’s “GoGo For Obama” fundraiser at a gay bar is making the rounds among conservative bloggers after being linked on the Drudge Report. Naturally, the right wing’s beloved racist/homophobic (you can’t really be one without being the other) internet commenters are leaving typically racist/homophobic comments about Obama and people who go to Obama fundraisers at gay bars. Here is a round-up of the “best” ones.

The fundraiser was at NYC’s Eastern Bloc (an East Village gay bar with vintage Soviet-themed decor), was organized in part by Will Wikle (yes, that Will Wikle), and was attended by socialites, fashion designers, models, writers, artists, gay porn stars and, of course, go-go boys. The idea that these kinds of people would gather together to support a Democratic president is not news or even remotely controversial to anyone living in the 21st century, but pejoratively framing Obama as a gay communist (or at least a gay communist sympathizer) has been the wingnut teahadist’s game for years. Whether or not the outrage is feigned is unclear to me, but events like this give them the perfect opportunity to push their narrative.

True communism has been historically anti-gay, so I don’t know how Obama could be legitimately gay and communist at the same time, but logic has never been these people’s strong suit. (Also, it’s been especially ironic watching Matt Drudge scrutinize Obama’s relationship with gays, and the notion of a “gay Obama,” given the fact that Matt Drudge is very, very gay.)

—”Bunch of freaks supporting the freak-in-charge. How impressive.”

—”Barack Obama: the first gay porn president.”

—”The co-owner of Eastern Bloc is Benjami Maisani, widely reported to be CNN anchor Anderson Cooper’s boyfriend/social companion/housemate. Wouldn’t this fact have been pertinent to the article?”

—”And so consulting with your pre adolescent children on the meaning of marriage leads to a gay porn fundraiser in the Village. I guess that’s what evolving is all about? What would an adult know about marriage, or children about political fundraising? It’s down the rabbit hole or around the nude dancing pole we go this campaign season, and I’m voting for Obama. However, it’s still quite strange, or is it that politics makes really strange bedfellows…”

—”Of course they are going to back a President who “leads from behind.”

—”It’s official: The left has now become a circus sideshow.”

—”The left wing freak show covers all bases. Step right up,…..you want deviant, we got it! Even if we can vote this madness out of Our White House, gonna take  several trailer loads of Lysol to clean it up.”

—”I have a feeling that Obama will personally demand that the tips shoved down the front of the dancers’ thongs, and soaked in sweat, be sent to him, too.  He will let them keep the contributions, but he wants those tippy thingies. Eastern Bloc sounds like such an appropriate place for an Obama Banana Hammock stuffing party.”

—”While Obama’s slogan is “Forward”, their slogan is “Bend Over.”

—”Not making this up, folks.  Just heard on local TV that there is a dance studio for kids in town that is offering pole dancing lessons for little girls.  It’s called “Little Spinners.”  I called to ask if they have a class for little boys who want to dance on bars in gay clubs yet.”

  1. With friends like these a$$holes Obama doesn’t need enemies. Most of these silly queens probably don’t even vote. They spend all of there time shopping and getting their hair and nails done.

  2. :-) Listen, I can spend all day telling you why I think gay Republicans are wrong, BUT calling them black KKK or 21st century kapos is ahistorical (unless you’re talking about actual kapos, etc, etc.). Political discourse is cheapened when you compare political opponents to terrorists.
