Homophobia at Hullabaloo, but I guess it’s all right when the MSM strokes a liberal. It’s not as though you’ll ever find a left-wing pundit tongue bathing Obama just because he’s black and clean and articulate. They’re not superficial, like we are, which is why they’re so underrepresented in Hollywood.
That would explain why the presidential candidates are frothing at the mouth trying to top one another's paranoid nuttiness. It's getting much more difficult to signal the appropriate level of alpha manliness.
I've always thought the republican male attitude towards their male candidates smacks more of a kind of pedophilic victim's stockholm syndrome. In other words, their longing for a strong, powerful, daddy figure is so strong that they wind up fantasizing about them in this almost sexual way. That is because, if I can turn to a different area, they are locked into a totally binary world: male /female, strong/weak, republican/democrat, sexual dominance/sexual passivity and attraction to dominance. If their candidates are ever going to be strong enough to dismiss the republican bases fear of weakness, they have to be so strong that all other entities in the universe are seen as their opposite. So even "manly men" are as women in the equation "republican leaders:followers" "men:women."
