Far right feels betrayed and outraged by Cheney’s ‘backhanded pro-gay approach.’
In a speech last week, Vice President Cheney gave some of his strongest comments yet in favor of same-sex marriage, saying that “people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish.” The right wing is now furious at Cheney. Washington-area pastor Bishop Harry Jackson is a “point man” for far right causes and a “star” of its efforts to “elevate the visibility and voices of politically conservative African American pastors.” In an interview with OneNewsNow, Jackson said that he is “outraged” by Cheney’s remarks:
Jackson, a Washington-area pastor and chairman of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, says ironically, at the same time President Bush “lost steam” on the marriage issue in 2006, Dick Cheney’s daughter Mary was talking openly with the media regarding her lesbian lifestyle.
“I believe that Cheney’s own ambivalence that has now manifested itself into what seems like a backhanded pro-gay approach was one of the things that kept the President [Bush] from going forward,” he contends. “So, I’m outraged that we’ve been promised things by the GOP — specifically by the president — that haven’t really come into fruition.

June 8th, 2009 at 4:54 pmOh puhleeze, CFP. The only reason Dick is in favor of gay is he would like to have his daughter speak to him. If she wasn’t there, Dick would be foaming at the mouth about the evils.

And it keeps the drooling mouth-breathers off balance — Dick’s specialty.

June 8th, 2009 at 4:58 pmBetray your daughter? No
Betray the Far Right? A little
Betray the US Constitution? Sure
The farther the issue got from Cheney’s own home, the less loyalty he demonstrated. The Far Right should not be surprised.
June 8th, 2009 at 4:58 pmDon’t blame someone else when you’re marginalized by your own superstitions.

Welcome to the club – they betrayed ALL of America! Not just you right wingnuts.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:03 pmStrange isn’t it after a lifetime of rotteness, people get religion when they can see the end of the road.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:04 pmIcicles must be forming in h*ll right now, if Cheney isn’t rabidly right enough for the right wing.
But what do they expect from the man? He has a gay daughter who is in a long-term monogamous relationship, and the couple has a child of their own. Cheney has not disowned his daughter, so I assume he realizes that gay people don’t have cooties.
During the time Cheney was VPOTUS, he did not rail against the “homosexual agenda” as so many other voices on the right have. Oh, he paid service to the entire neocon agenda, and his world view quite frankly scared the crap out of me (still does — I wish the guy would get off the stage), but on the issue of gay rights, he kept very low key.
Even now, his language is quite lukewarm. Yes, he now uses the word “union” instead of “relationship”, but it appears he’s still some distance from being comfortable about terms like “civil union”, “legally recognized union”, and “marriage”. But I guess any wavering from the hard party line is cause for getting bashed from the far right.
You know, watching them eating their own was royally entertaining at first, but now it’s just sad. They’re so clueless, I’m starting to feel sorry for them.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:05 pmAnd they never will nutbag…because you are a useful tool…you were used by your leaders to get into office, just like the rest of your gang.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:06 pmCheney was always far more loyal to the WAR HERE! WAR NOW!
June 8th, 2009 at 5:07 pmOoops! Somehow that posted without my hitting a thing.
Anyway, Cheney was always far more loyal to the neocons than he ever was to the Christianistas or the Conservatives.
He is a shell of a man, yes, but never tried to portray himself as a friend of the Goddies.

June 8th, 2009 at 5:08 pmI see, Jackson is basically saying that Cheney is inspired by Satan.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:09 pmConservativeForProgress Says:
Why do you generalize what one man says as “the Right Wing?” That is a very dishonest approach. A growing number of Conservatives agree with Dick Cheney and support gay marriage or gay civil unions.
June 8th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Growing, perhaps, but not very quickly. You’re only up to 11% of the far right, and 33% of the moderate right.
I believe that means that it’s still statistically honest to say that the majority of conservatives and the vast majority of the far right oppose gay marriage.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:09 pmConservativeForProgress Says:

And that’s happening because we keep pointing and laughing at the ones who don’t. It’s the same tactic that’s working on every issue. Including the ones you’re still on the wrong side of.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:09 pmThey are on the losing side of this issue and they know it. They know it is only a matter of time. Let them be angry with Cheney – it means nothing. In the end – he’s one of their own and they love him for it.
Cheney’s views will have no impact on the issue as a whole — they are losing and it is only matter of time.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:09 pm*
Cheney isn’t “pro-gay” or “pro-anything else.”
He’s pro-his own agenda and his own legacy. Everything else is just a means to an end.

Exactly. He’s a corporate conservative, not a values conservative. But he also knew that he couldn’t maintain the position of power he needed to push through all the corporate goodies he wanted without appeasing the value voters. Which is why we’re only hearing about his support of gay marriage now, when he’s no longer electable.

June 8th, 2009 at 5:13 pmMost black ministers are virulent homophobes. I say this as a gay man who has been singled out for verbal harrassment by black street preachers as I simply walked past them on the street in Chicago and Washington, D.C. And I’m someone who formerly dated women and am told that I’m “straight-acting” (whatever – I hate that term and description). I can only imagine how hellish it must be for young black gay men and lesbians to deal with the HATE that comes from the pulpits of black churches every Sunday.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:13 pmI know this doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but I have been looking for a post about the Laura Ling being sentenced to 12 years hard labor in North Korea.

June 8th, 2009 at 5:23 pmOh, sooooo now they feel betrayed…
…they didn’t when Dick let 3000 US citizen die because of their NeoCon agenda…
…and not when they LIED about Iraq and got even more of our Soldiers killed…

Aside from being off topic – you are also completely full of sh!t. Saddam was no threat to anyone. He was also a useful buffer against a couple of groups in that region. Now, every political party currently serving in the Iraqi government originated in Iran. Now, groups like the Jundallah that were formerly kept at bay have a new place to reign.

June 8th, 2009 at 5:50 pmI am outraged that the rights of American citizens are being trampled on every single day that a same sex couple cannot exchange their vows and live the way the rest of the nation does. It’s beyond me how a Black preacher can stand up in front of people and condemn gays and lesbians. If anyone should know oppression he should. My daughter is a lesbian and she and her partner are going to a state that does allow same sex marriages and get married and then come back to Ohio and live as a married couple whether Ohio likes it or not. The hypocrisy is getting pretty deep here.

That’s when I was in the Army, and I remember then-SecDef Cheney bosting about how much he was able to cut the military “down to size” after Gulf War 1.

In the bit of browsing I did on this I saw a number of references citing the possibility that he might be sent to negotiate their release. Public statements condeming this and that would undercut any possibility of actually getting them out. But you don’t really care about that, do you? Y’all still think that the job of politicians is to wave big sticks and threaten other countries, rather than to get any actual results. There’s absolutely nothing to be gained by public finger-wagging, and possibly much to lose. We’re talking about real lives here, not your pretend political posturing.

June 8th, 2009 at 6:53 pmBlack Conservative preachers are no less bigoted than White Conservative Preachers. HAH! They destroy and wilt the grass they walk upon. Pathetic, mean spirited little worms with a Bible in one hand, and pistol in the other.
Bigotry combined with lack of education ‘hard feelings’ are the most dangerous. IS it time for a white liberal backlash against these Black Conservatives? YES! YOU BET IT IS!
June 8th, 2009 at 7:02 pmRacists abound…
I’m looking at YOU, drewinsf.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:17 pmFar right feels betrayed and outraged by Cheney’s ‘backhanded pro-gay approach.’
Are they saying that Cheney is into giving “Reach-arounds”?
June 8th, 2009 at 7:22 pmHow dare people change the institution of marriage to allow black men to marry white women. Or white men to marry black women.
Guess this bigoted cretin Harry Jackson only thinks civil rights are for ’straight’ people.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:24 pm“So, I’m outraged that we’ve been promised things by the GOP — specifically by the president — that haven’t really come into fruition.
Cheney Shoots Religious Right in Face, Over Gay Marriage?
So freakin’ sweet, it’s probably fattening.
June 8th, 2009 at 7:27 pmHow bad is the GOP getting when Darth Cheney isn’t even right-wing enough anymore? It really is starting to look like Limbaugh will be the last one willing to call himself a Republican.

He can be in charge of sweeping up and turning out the lights when their party’s finally over.

Im so sick of debating this here. Lets face the facts, in 08 people decided they were against gay marriage. Even in california. Can you libs just shut up about it now?
_____________________________________________________________
Oh yes — THAT should settle it. Just like when most of white America was in favor of racial segregation (or didn’t care as long as “negroes kept their place and didn’t get uppity”), black Americans should have just shut up about it, since the “people” had spoken.
Yep — all those protest marches, sit-ins, and singing “We Shall Overcome” was such a waste of time…
June 9th, 2009 at 12:23 amOf course Dick Cheney says gay marriage should me legal. You know why? Because like every other member of the Bush Administration, if supporting the situation somehow furthers your own personal goals (you know, like the happiness of your daughter), then that is an inalienable right. AS LONG AS YOUR SELF-INTEREST IS INVOLVED, YOU ARE FOR IT. WHEN THAT CHANGES FOR YOU, YOU ARE AGAINST IT.
June 9th, 2009 at 2:00 am‘backhanded pro-gay approach.’
Sounds like something one would expect out of Larry Craig in the men’s room.
June 9th, 2009 at 4:31 amIf Cheney’s kid wasn’t gay, his position would be “shoot them dirty faggots”. He takes one humane position because it affects HIM. I hate that psycho.
