Unbelievable! Dems launch anti-gay attack ad

September 7, 2016 By: Stephen Dietrich

The Democrats have tried to bill themselves as a party of inclusion, and fierce defenders of LGBT rights.

But apparently none of that applies to gay Republicans — something one Congressional candidate is learning the hard way.

The LGBT community is furious after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee began airing on Arizona television attack ads against Sheriff Paul Babeu, an openly gay Republican running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Fifteen years ago, Babeu served as headmaster of a private school in Massachusetts, which became the subject of thoroughly debunked rumors about student abuse.

But it looks like the Democrats aren’t going to let the truth get in the way of some good hate speech. Throughout the commercial, words like “sexual abuse” and “strip” flash across the screen.

The ad ends with the ominous warning, “We can’t trust him with our kids.”

Meanwhile, Babeau has served as a member of the National Guard, as a police patrolman, and as Pinal County sheriff, where hundreds of thousands of people (including children) have trusted him with their lives.

The ad is designed to make voters fearful of Babeu’s sexuality, nothing more, and points out longstanding hypocrisy within the Democratic Party toward LGBT issues.

“Attack ads don’t get more homophobic than this,” said Gregory T. Angelo, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP advocacy group that fights for LGBT rights. “Not only is this commercial factually inaccurate, but it shows just how low the DCCC is willing to go to stop a gay Republican from being elected to Congress. Democrats love to say they support the LGBT community — unless you’re a gay Republican, in which case floating the specter of gays as child predators and deviants is fair game.”

      Excellent post!!! I hope Trump picks up on this and airs the ads in San Francisco and Washington state as well as New York.

        Those would be great places to attack the Dumbocrats.
        I also think Mr. Trump should use this during the debates with “The Hildabeast”, aka; “The Butcher of Benghazi”!

            What poll are you getting this from??? I read they are very close in many polls and tie on CNN and Trump ahead on others. We need to get rid of the electoral votes and strictly go on the popular votes. That way the majority votes win.

      What a shame! What happened to live and let live? Our country was built on diversity. Let people be who they want to be , it is ok to disagree if you don’t like it walk away.

      Hillary is a disgusting excuse for a human being. Use her own adverts to show how bad she really is.

    • Michael Rosenblum says

      September 8, 2016 at 2:51 pm

      I don’t know where the ad is homophobic, he was accused of abusing kids, abuse comes in many forms, where was it written pedophilia, sexual assault., etc. Democrats are not being homophobic in their ad, but they have learned from republicans how to demonize the opposition whether there are accurate facts or not. Donald Trump praises Putin with kind words as Putin orders Homosexuals in Russia to be inprisoned, Trumps respect for Putin is disgusting and deplorable.

        What is disgusting is a Jew who supports the Communist Muslim in the White House and his Protege Killery Rotting Clintoon. Such a person is a TRAITOR TO AMERICA AND HIS OWN BLOOD. There is no lower form of human life.

    The Socialist Democrats are not a party of inclusion. They constantly strive to cause dissension, division, and stir up hatred. They employ power plays to place one group at odds with another. It part of their agenda to gain control over the masses.

    • Jc says

      September 7, 2016 at 12:54 pm

      That’s how they have controlled the minority votes for so long.

      • Normandywells says

        September 7, 2016 at 7:44 pm

        that and gaining equality for them keeps them loyal

        • Rocky says

          September 13, 2016 at 7:09 am

          Every ethnic group that came to America: The Irish, the Italians, The Chineese the Jews, you name the group, were discriminated against and treated with disrespect. They however, established their communities, built their homes, opened buisnesses, raised their families, and saw to the education of their children, and were consequently accepted by society. The group you claim should be loyal to the democrats for gaining them equality, has, instead, made a practice of turning existing neighborhoods into crime infested deteriorating slums, have hoards of children out of wedlock, drop out of school, burn down their own neighborhoods, and stick the taxpayers with the bill. All the while claiming it’s someone elses’ fault THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR GAINING EQUALITY IS IN THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO SEEK IT. and their community leaders. NOT SOME POLITICAL PARTY AND THE GOVERNMENT.

    The liberals, Obama, Hillary, and the majority of democrats are racists, bigots, anti American, and anti freedom, let’s include the liberal lying news media also!

    • Lifestford says

      September 7, 2016 at 2:08 pm

      The news service is right in the same bed as the rest of the racist democratic! Party That is not to say all democrats are like that but the decision makers, have for years held the Black residents here under their thumb, feeding them, with food stamps, and other means to keep them still in slavery to the Democratic Party, when what they want is a good paying job with benefits, and a chance to be free again, Vote Trump to have a chance at freedom for blacks and Whites and all others captive to the government

    TYpical liberal/socialistic/communistic move. A conservative republican does not fit their agenda, no matter if they are male/famale, hetero/homosexual, green, pink, black, white, brown. Same with Darrel Glenn in CO. He is a black conservative and they don’t want him to win either.

      Hello William Quionion, I noticed your comment about the gay community and your reference to Matthew chapter 19 and the eunuchs. I think the Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans in chapter 1, verses 16 – 32 has a very good scriptural approach of how sinful for a lifestyle of the gay community. From my knowledge and search of God’s Holy Word, a eunuch is a person with no desire for elicit sexual activity, some are born that way, while others attain to that status later in life. And we find this pleasing to God. BUT, the homosexual activity of those in the gay community are in an unsaved state far from the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

      Much love in Jesus Christ and for His great cause; Saving sinners like me, you and the rest of the world.

    Hypocrisy to the MAX! This is why I have been saying, look out, the liberals will throw anything at Trump, and, now, apparently all else to. These people have no morals except what they alone perceive as what is needed for the rest of us!!!!!! And, again, facts have nothing to do with any liberal position or ranting.

    Bunch of Hypocrites !! They USE the poor, the colour people, the oppressed, the addicts, the muslims, the less fortunate, Brain wash them to believe they are LOVED, and that socialism is going to empower them and give them more government benefits. And that us Americans HARD WORKERS are ‘racist’

    PLEASE AMERICA OPEN YOUR EYES ! We Americans need to UNITE, regardless of colour, sex orientation, creed We need to unite to get rid of the illegals, (THEY DO NOT BELONG IN OUR LAND) We need to unite to make America Safe, Economically Strong, a Powerful Nation once again !!

    They just paid for an excellent example of their own hypocrisy…..pretend to encompass the gays and then excoriate a Republican candidate because he’s gay. It shows the level of intelligence we’re dealing with in the liberal party.

    • Normandywells says

      September 7, 2016 at 7:41 pm

      Democrats do not humor hypocrisy which is embodied by a gay republican-what next? A black KKK member?

    Sheriff Babeau is one of the best lawmen in Arizona. He’s on a par with our Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He’s a live-and-let-live American of good character, unlike the bigoted homosexual activists and the lying, people-using Democrats. Our country needs unity, not the divisiveness of the Soros controlled ultra liberals.

  12. Joanne says

    September 7, 2016 at 12:28 pm

    The Democrats don’t give a damn about Gays, Blacks, Gender Benders and others. They’re a bunch of hypocrites spewing their $HIT ADNAUSEUM. SO GIVE IT A REST ALL YOU LIBERALS AND BURY YOUR HEADS IN SAND. YOUR RERUNS ARE OLD AND BORING.

      They have become the party of disrespect and disgusting toward all Americans. D Trump was smart to leave them. If you want a traditional democrat you would have D Trump a republican. If you want a traditional republican you have Darrell Castle/Scott Bradley of the constitution party.

      A history lesson Democrats were for large federal government. Thinking the federal government was competent to handle social problems and personal problems. When we look at how our Social Security was supposed to be saved until we get old and how it was not. We need to see the Federal government is incompetent. The republicans were for states rights as seen in the Declaration of independence and The Constitution with the Bill of Rights. They were also for traditional values.

      Now Democrats are for disrespect and disgusting and ruining America. Republican old democrat. Constitution Party old Republican Party. I hope you join those of us who will vote for Darrell Castle/Scott Bradly as POTUS/VPOTUS.

    September 7, 2016 at 12:44 pm

    When are people going to learn that Democrats care NOTHING about the people of this country and for the country it’s self. All they want are your votes so they can keep their pockets lined with our tax money and more. Wise up people and start voting the right way.

    I’ve always found the liberal embrace of homosexuality to be interesting. They will publicly proclaim their tolerance and demonize those of us who hold a traditional view. In private they will make fun of gays and play off all the stereotypes.

    Many conservatives are different. We don’t embrace the gay agenda, but we treat gays the way we want to be treated. We don’t make fun of them in private.

    For Democrats gays are just another group of voters to go after. They want their votes but they don’t care about them.

    • Normandywells says

      September 7, 2016 at 7:40 pm

      silly lies. Democrats have achieved our equality despite the bigotry from the right. Its the right that uses people (pretending to fight abortion and immigration, for example) Conservatives want gays dead-don’t lie to yourself

      • janet says

        September 9, 2016 at 6:55 am

        Normandy,
        “Conservatives want gays dead-” you say.
        Sounds like you’re projecting (ascribing your own motives to others).
        Interesting. You just gave yourself away…which is what all cheats and thieves do at very turn, you know. You can’t hide…least of all behind pretensions of moral superiority, of all things!

    September 7, 2016 at 4:07 pm

    If ya want to preach bible , god said to man something like “go and populate the world”
    Well, Queers cant do that because, sad to say, being queer (man on man. woman on woman) just won’t get the population job done. It is a sickness and should be treated medically. I feel sorry for these people, and I do not understand the illness,—but I don’t hate them either.
    I’m just sick of our so called political representatives pandering to blacks , queers, etc. just to get votes and this goes for both political party’s. Just to explain , I say queer because that’s what it was called until around the late 70’s I guess , then these people started calling themselves ‘gay’. Well , the dictionary I read said ‘gay’ meant happy! not a deviate sexual person. However , everyone should be able to have their own rights in this so called democracy— just shut up and stop jamming the issue down all the american citizens throats. Josh

    Of course the Democrats are turning on the LGBT community. You can’t be pro-Sharia and pro-gay at the same time – and let’s face it, the muslim kings and sheiks have more money than all the gays put together.

  20. Normandywells says

    September 7, 2016 at 7:38 pm

    why would dems support self hating gay people? They are enemies to us all! We must destroy them

  21. Keifer says

    September 8, 2016 at 8:04 am

    Not surprised coming from the democrats. They claim to be the party of inclusion until you decide you like to be included. The democrats are just using the LGBT group for votes other than that it’s screw you……

  22. Michael Rosenblum says

    September 8, 2016 at 3:06 pm

    Wow reading this was entertaining. Reading from most of you people you would think the Republican Party was some socially liberal dinner club. Everyone is welcome in this club no matter what your religious views are as long as you accept Jesus Christ as your lord a savior .no matter what your sexual orientation is as long as you don’t believe in Adam and Steve , or guess who is coming to dinner. You are welcome as long as don’t believe healthcare should be a right, guns should be licensed and insured, and Families have a right to reproductive rights. Log cabin republicans seem to come from some alternative universe.
