ANDY MARTIN on John McCain’s hypocrisy about homosexuality

Andy Martin asks: How can John McCain block a vote on the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t tell,” and then come to Illinois to campaign for “Closeted Congressman” Mark Kirk? Kirk is a homosexual who is also serving in the Navy Reserve and has disgraced the service with the biggest pack of lies in Navy history. Why is McCain supporting a charlatan like Kirk? At long last, has McCain no shame about his hypocrisy?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANDY MARTIN ASKS “DOES JOHN MCCAIN PRACTICE “DON’T’ ASK, DON’T TELL” WHEN HE GETS QUESTIONS ABOUT MARK KIRK’S HOMOSEXUALITY?

MARTIN SAYS THAT IF MCCAIN REALLY BELIEVES WHAT HE SAYS, HE SHOULD “CUT KIRK LOOSE;” MCCAIN SHOULD STOP BEING A HYPOCRITICAL, TWO-FACED POLITICIAN ON HOMOSEXUAL ISSUES

ANDY LINKS TO THE EXPLOSIVE MARK KIRK “HOMOSEXUAL RUMOR” TAPE

(NEW YORK)(September 22, 2010) I haven’t expressed an opinion on the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t tell,” and today is not the day I am going to do so. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe. Maybe.

Rather, today I am focused on the hypocrisy of Senator John McCain. McCain seeks to exclude gays from the military and then comes to Illinois to campaign for homosexual Congressman Mark Kirk. Whether you oppose or support the gay agenda, anyone and everyone can be sickened by hypocritical politicians such as Senator John McCain.

Last December 28th I started something of a national firestorm when I disclosed to the public that there were “rumors” that Congressman Mark Kirk was gay:

http://www.andyforussenator.com/andys_ads.htm

Lake County Republican Ray True suggested that Kirk was surrounded by a Praetorian Guard-like posse of homosexuals. You can still listen to the tape of the extraordinary program that formed the basis for my campaign advertising [Radio Archive, November 1 2009, Segment Two]:

http://www.championnews.net/article.php?sid=2165

In June, respected homosexual activist Mike Rogers confirmed my allegations and stated unequivocally that Kirk was a homosexual:

http://blog.blogactive.com/2010/06/truth-or-consequences.html

Later, Kirk’s former wife made ambiguous remarks about her former husband’s sexuality. So Jack Roeser was right, and my campaign commercials were based on solid research. Kirk was a proven liar.

Personally, I don’t care what people do in the privacy of their own home. But I passionately believe that public officials should be prepared to make their private lives public when public votes could be influenced by private lives. It is two-faced for public officials to seek publicity from privacy when it serves their political interests, and then seek “privacy please” when a politician is trying to cover his or her tracks.

But Kirk’s lies about his sexuality were only a minor precursor to the disclosure of Kirk’s myriad lies about his military service. Now we know that in addition to being the “Closeted Congressman,” Mark Kirk is the biggest liar in U.S. Navy history. Kirk has lied about every aspect of his military career.

Kirk claimed to have won medals that don’t exist. Kirk lied when he said he had “fought” in wars where he never served. Kirk lied when he said he came under fire in Afghanistan. Kirk lied when he said he came under fire in Iraq. Kirk lied about commanding the War Room in the Pentagon.

How can John McCain proclaim his love of the military service and then back someone such as Kirk who has disgraced the Navy uniform by relentless lying about his imaginary accomplishments?

McCain claims he is coming back to Illinois to support Kirk. Do reports about Kirk’s Navy lies have no effect on McCain? Is McCain senile or just suspending his common sense for political profit when it comes to Mark Kirk?

Politicians wonder why we hate them. John McCain’s Mark Kirk hypocrisy is a classic example of why Congress is held in contempt by the American people.

Tea, anyone?

ANDY MARTIN: Gay media, organizations blackmail Mark Kirk

Illinois corruption fighter Andy Martin says an interview of gay activist Mike Rogers which recently came to light indicates that Rogers does not consider “rumors” about Mark Kirk’s homosexuality to be “rumors.” Rogers says Kirk is gay. Martin says gay media and gay organizations were blackmailing Kirk: “As long as Kirk quietly pursued gay issues, he was immune from being ‘outed.’ Once Kirk voted against ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ gays exposed Kirk as a hypocrite and fraud. Kirk is subject to future blackmail.” Martin asks why Republican Chairman Pat Brady, who attacked Martin for telling the truth about Kirk, is still chairman. Pat Brady and mark Kirk are leading Illinois Republican candidates down the road to defeat. “October is going to be a very ‘long month’ for Mark Kirk,” Martin says. “Blackmail ain’t beanbag.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Gay expert Mike Rogers is quoted as saying “rumors” about Mark Kirk’s homosexuality are not rumors at all; they are an established fact

Andy Martin says an August 12th blog posting draws attention to an earlier blog interview on Mark Kirk’s homosexuality that may have been missed by many media

Andy offers Mark Kirk a new opening

(CHICAGO)(August 13, 2010) Gay news media and blogs continue to discuss Mark Kirk’s homosexuality:

http://adamfoxie.blogspot.com/2010/08/
but-mike-rogers-never-meant-to-make-rep.html

“AdamFoxie drew my attention to an earlier, overlooked interview that was even more explosive about Mark Kirk,” Andy Martin says:

http://www.edgeonthenet.com/index.php?ch=
news&sc=&sc3=&id=106870&pg=1

“Edgeonthenet.com featured an interview with Mike Rogers which has some of the most devastating accusations against Kirk. Mike Rogers is quoted as saying:

‘I thought everyone in Illinois politics already knew Kirk was gay,’ Rogers told EDGE. ‘It’s not a rumor and it’s not new. I’ve met the man. He is gay. I didn’t think this would even be a story and wasn’t seeking out coverage.’

“The author of the Rogers interview goes on to attack me for being a ‘right-wing extremist’ but that is typical left-wing nonsense. I am a mainstream Republican. No one says I am a ‘RINO’ like Mark Kirk. The only extremist in the senate race is Mark Kirk; he is extremely closeted and extremely contemptuous of Republican Party voters and Republican values.

“I told the truth about Mark Kirk in my advertising. Now the gays admit it. But the gays were suspiciously silent about Kirk until he stabbed them in the back and voted against the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’

“In effect, gays were blackmailing Kirk. As long as he voted the way gays wanted, they kept the ‘silence’ about his homosexuality. The minute Kirk betrayed them, they betrayed him.

“Kirk recently issued a ‘statement’ through his ex-wife Kimberly Vertolli, reversing himself once again and now saying he will now vote to repeal DADT. The blackmail continues.

“If Kirk was effectively being blackmailed before, as gays now belatedly admit, why won't he be blackmailed in the future? There is a lot more dirt on Kirk that we have not yet released. Kirk is a virtual ‘blackmail magnet.’ That is why I previously called on Mark Kirk to withdraw as a candidate. He is a complete fraud and disaster for every Illinois Republican candidate.

“Republican Chairman Pat Brady attacked me and said I was ‘not a Republican’ because I told the truth about Mark Kirk. Why is Pat Brady still Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party? He engineered a cover-up to protect Kirk; that cover-up has now backfired and endangered every Illinois Republican candidate.

“I believe in the right to privacy. I do not believe in demonizing homosexuality. Mark Kirk’s private life should be his own, as long as he remains a private citizen. But when Kirk tries to defraud Republican voters, and when Kirk is being blackmailed by gay media and organizations, then I think real Republicans and every loyal Illinoisan has a right to know the truth,” Martin says. “Blackmail ain’t beanbag,”

“If Mark Kirk comes out of the closet, I will support his right to run as an openly gay Republican. As long as he is a liar, he forfeits his legitimacy as a human being and as a potential political leader.”

CHICAGO NEWS CONFERENCE: Andy Martin says Mark Kirk must withdraw as Senate candidate

In light of new accusations that Mark Kirk frequents gay bars, and the allegations by his former wife Kimberly Vertoli that “Kinky Kirk” is involved in some sort of meretricious relationship with a political consultant who destroyed her marriage, Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Friday, August 6th to demand that Kirk withdraw as a candidate.

Martin says Mark Kirk is an embarrassment to every Illinois Republican candidate and should step down so that a replacement can be selected promptly. Martin accuses Kirk of obtaining the senate nomination by fraud. Martin says that the fact he is an opponent of Kirk’s should not detract from the lethal impact of the independent evidence which condemns Kirk.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FRIDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Andy Martin says that Mark Kirk obtained his senate nomination because Illinois news media lied to readers and viewers

Martin says that Mark Kirk’s closeted homosexuality is a ticking time bomb for every Illinois Republican candidate

(CHICAGO)(August 6, 2010) Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference Friday, August 6th to demand that Mark Kirk withdraw as a U. S. Senate candidate. Martin says that new allegations that “Kinky” Kirk frequents gay bars and “trendy gay nightspots”, and the accusation by Kirk’s former wife that Kirk has some sort of dominatrix relationship with a political consultant, are a ticking time bomb for every Republican.

“I am no friend of Mark Kirk,” Martin states. “But the fact that I am a political opponent of Kirk’s does not detract from the undisputed facts. Even a political opponent can get his facts right.

“Last December I disclosed ‘rumors’ about Kirk’s personal life. I clearly labeled them as rumors. The corrupt Chicago media attacked me for telling the truth, and lied to their viewers and readers by vouching for Kirk and seeking to discredit my evidence.

“The passage of only a few months has verified and validated all of my original allegations.

“I was also the first person to disclose that Kirk was a military fraud. I produced documented proof. Again the media lied to their viewers and readers and concealed the facts even though I backed up my charges with Navy documents. It was not until the Washington Post embarrassed Chicago media by exposing that Kirk was lying about his military service that the truth about ‘Kinky’ finally began to ooze out.

“After he voted against the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ Kirk was ‘outed’ as a homosexual by gay rights activist Mike Rogers.

“Being a homosexual is not a per se disqualification for office. Lying to conservative Republican voters and denying the truth is a disqualification. Since my original disclosures ‘Kinky’ Kirk’s sexual proclivities have become a topic of endless embarrassment for Illinois Republicans. There is more to come.

“This week there were two new scandals. They could be fatal disclosures.

“First, Kirk’s former wife burst out with the accusation that Kirk had some sort of ‘dominatrix’ relationship with a political consultant that had destroyed her marriage. Kirk’s wife also admitted she was a militant homosexual rights activist and Obama supporter. That was a strange marriage partner for someone such as Kirk who claims to be a ‘conservative.’

“Second and more seriously, homosexual blogs are now ‘filling in the blanks,’ if that is the right term, about Kirk’s sex life.

“The lesbian web site ‘Lezgetreal.com’ said Wednesday that ‘Kirk has been known to visit several trendy gay nightspots…’ Lezgetreal.com also said that Kirk ‘visits the gay bars:’

http://lezgetreal.com/2010/08/mark-kirks-ex-wife-denies-that-kirk-is-gay-gives-other-reasons-for-divorce/

“The blog gay.Americablog.com said that Mrs. Kirk’s denial that Kirk is gay ‘sounds like she’s hedging:’

http://gay.americablog.com/2010/08/gop-senate-candidate-mark-kirks-ex-wife.html

A comment on ‘Lez’ said ‘It’s a non-denial denial.’

“When these comments are coupled with Mike Rogers’ statement that Kirk was eyeing young men and admitted to being gay, Mr. Kirk faces a terminal illness politically:

http://blog.blogactive.com/2010/06/truth-or-consequences.html

“Rogers also said that men had approached him and stated they had sex with Kirk, and that Kirk had admitted his homosexuality to Rogers. Those men are still out there.

“I have no problem with gay men, lesbians or homosexuality. I am a passionate believer in the right to privacy, for people who wish to remain private. If people are honest and open about themselves, I respect that as well. But when you insist on remaining closeted as a candidate for national office you are a threat to yourself and to anyone with whom you associate politically. Kirk’s lying to conservative Republicans is a no-no. Kirk is a danger to every Illinois Republican candidate.

“If Bill Brady and other statewide Republican candidates lose, it will be because of Mark Kirk and his sexual shenanigans. It is time for ‘Kinky Kirk’ to step down so Republicans can choose a conservative replacement,” Martin will urge at his news conference.

“Finally,” Martin says, “Although Kirk has tried to ‘fudge’ his military record, the reality is that hundreds of thousands of veterans in both parties will vote against Kirk because he lied about his military service. Kirk erased any good he had done, and demeaned the life-and-death risks taken by our fighting men and women. Kirk disgraced the Navy. You can bet there will be a ‘veterans’ payback’ in November if Kirk is still on the ballot.

“The only unknown is how badly voters will punish other Republicans who endorse Kirk or stand by him in silence. That’s the open question. Conservatives have been known to ‘stay home’ when they were ignored and insulted by party leaders.”
