Outing a Republican Senator

James Joyner | Tuesday, January 31, 2006 |
Michael Rogers at BlogActive, which bills itself as “Real Truth, Direct Action,” threatened last night to “out” a married Republican Senator as homosexual if he voted to confirm Judge Alito.
Tomorrow you will decide if your political position is worth more than doing what is right for others like you. For others like you, Mr. Senator, who engage in oral sex with other men. (Although, Mr. Senator, most of us don’t do in the bathrooms of Union Station!) Your fake marriage, by the way, will NOT protect you from the truth being told on this blog.
Lovely.
Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island was the only Republican to vote No.

Ah yes -- Michael Rogers, who has tried to get gay bloggers shut down for criticizing his use of just these tactics.
The man is a walking Godwin's Law violation.
