Thanks to the AARP Blog

For linking to yesterday's story on Bill Bennett and USA Next. Here's a link back at ya.

This New York Times story shows just how lame and transparent these hacks are:

Officials at USA Next said the advertisement was a test, but maintained that they planned to attack AARP, the powerhouse lobby for older Americans, on the issue of same-sex marriage...

"We are going to be revealing areas where the AARP is out of touch with a large number of their members, including the issue of marriage," Charlie Jarvis, the group's chief executive, said in a statement. "We will engage AARP with an aggressive campaign to educate the people about where they really stand on the issues and how out of touch they are with the large majority of their own members."


That is the worst kind of backtracking I've ever heard. Oh, it was just a test? Test hating. Test homophobic bigotry. I get it. Yeah, never mind, sorry for all the commotion.

Isn't it instructive to know that gay-bashing is the ONLY issue on which Republicans can beat their opponents with supposed impunity?
