Clinton's Self-Loathing Comment

I was in the woods yesterday, so I missed Bill Clinton's comment that Arthur Finkelstein, the GOP operative who recently married his partner, must suffer from "self-loathing." How juicy that a man so vulnerable to the same charge, given his twisted sexual identity, would say this.

Is he defending his wife, the wife he is so good at embarassing and degrading, or is he just shooting off his mouth, or is he finally letting his own feelings about gays come to the fore? Where else to go for a good analysis but Gay Patriot? Here's a bit of what Dan has to say:

It's comedic watching Clinton -- of all people -- tar a gay man as self-loathing, Clinton who made promises to gay people as a candidate that he didn't keep as president because keeping them would have hurt him politically. Will any gay group criticize this man for calling an openly gay man self-loathing?

Well, one has. Log Cabin Political Director Chris Barron shows how this Democrat has always put politics ahead of gay interests, noting that Clinton is

the same President who signed the Defense of Marriage Act, implemented the military's discriminatory 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, and encouraged John Kerry to support anti-gay state Constitutional amendments, thinks he has any credibility passing judgment on the life of Arthur Finkelstein or any other gay and lesbian American.
To think that some gay activists see this man a hero is beyond me.
