We have a new candidate for the hypocrite of the year!! Its Senator John Ensign (R-Nevada). He was at the lead calling for the resignation of President Clinton (D) when he had his moment of infidelity and pounced on Senator Larry Craig’s Q(R-Idaho) indiscretions in a Minnesota airport bathroom. Senator Ensign (hopefully soon to be former senator ensign) has admitted to having a nine month affair. Both sides of the aisle have had their members pull some major dirty moves, but the “family values”, “Christian coalition”, and “Moral Majority” “Right” take the cake on this. They judge people on lifestyle, tell people what they can and can’t do, and judge them on it, yet they do it themselves. Homophobes, anti-abortionists, and the list goes on and on; well lets look at some of the recent big hypocrites on the “Right”:
☞Bob Barr (R-former federal prosecutor and a former member of the United States House of Representatives.[7] He represented Georgia’s 7th congressional district as a Republican from 1995 to 2003) This man sponsored the homophobic Defense of Marriage Act saying this when it was presented -”The flames of hedonism, the flames of narcissism, the flames of self-centered morality are licking at the very foundation of our society, the family unit.” Well Mr. Morals has been married three times and actually paid for his second wife to get an abortion (he was also having an affair during the marriage to her). He has been forced to pay back child support and photographs from his first inaugural party have have his wife licking whip cream off strippers breast. A true champion of “family values” and morals!! Oh, he also gave the 1998 keynote speech at the overtly racists and bigoted CCC or the Council of Conservative Citizens.
Of course I am not surprised that a person the the extreme right has ties to a racists organization and feels they are above the laws and morals they push!!
☞Louis Beres – (R-former chairman of the Christian Coalition of Oregon) Everyone knows that the “Christian” Coalition in any state is just a cover for right wing extremism and no doubt the one in Oregon is no different, but that is off the subject. He has been investigated and all three of his daughters accuse him of molestation the whole time they lived in his home. They want you to have morals, but they don’t pertain to them-(do as I say, not as I do I guess is his motto!!)/
☞Parker J. Bena (R- a Republican activist and one of last year’s presidential electors for Virginia) This great right winger was recently arraigned for possession of child pornography and lying to the FBI. He tried to say it came in an unsolicited email (yeah right), but the authorities found he had download them himself from different web sites. It seems child pornography is popular with right wingers..here is a list of some other “family value” champions that indulge in this crime against the innocent!!
☞Randal David Ankeney (R-Republican activist) This guy hasn’t been arrested or investigated once but twice!! Here are links to the first and second arrests, the stories are on the local ABC website. He attacked a thirteen year old first, then an older woman next.
☞ John Bolton (R- neocon appointee of W to the U.N.) He has been a very strong neocon pushing for preemptive wars and other shady dealings listed on this site. Besides this lack of value for human life (our troops lives and the lives of non-Americans) he has been accused of some juicy things by his ex-wife. Christina Bolton says John forced her to engage in group sex with him on many occasions, along with other unsavory public sexual acts. He has also be SEEN in the swingers club “Plato’s Retreat” engaging in group sex. His former wife said he forced her to preform in this acts while married to him.
☞Joe Scarborough (R- 1995 to 2001 as a Republican from the 1st district of Florida and host of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC) The conservative talk show host of “Morning Joe”, when he was a Rep. for the 1st district in Florida, resigned suddenly to spend more time with his family. Soon after his resignation allegations surfaced that he was having an affair with an intern. Soon after this an intern (Lori Klausutis) was found dead in his office. This is the same intern that he was supposedly having an affair with while serving as a representative. Also odd was the medical examiner in the case, this man was barred from practicing medicine in two states (Missouri-for falsifying medical records in an autopsy and in Florida for similar reasons). He found that Ms. Klausutis death was because of an accident, he was later ask why he gave conflicting reports on her injuries and he responded -”The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury.” Here is a link to a recent interesting clip of Rachal Maddow and Joe having a tussle and this subject is broached. Also another interesting website on the death of Ms. Klausutis that Killer Joe’s attorneys sent a “cease and desist” letter.
☞George Roche III (R-president of Hillsdale College [a fringe right wing college]) Old Mr. Roche III, the conservative tyrant that held his throne over the conservative Hillside College, had a nineteen year affair with his daughter-in-law Lissa Roche, wife of his son George Roche IV. This eventually led to a family tragedy of Lissa committing suicide after admitting to the affair. Of course after time to compose himself, Roche III denied it, but most realize its true. Even the conservative website the “National Review” had to admit it…
