Larry Craig Denies Allegations of Same-Sex Affairs

[BigBearJohn]

Mike Rogers, who calls himself "the nation’s leading gay activist blogger" has just finished a nationally-broadcast interview on the Ed Schultz Radio Show in which he alleges that Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig has engaged in same-sex sexual activity.

Senator Craig’s office flatly rejected the claims. "The Senator says this story is absolutely ridiculous – almost laughable," said press secretary Sid Smith. “It has no basis in fact.”

Rogers said he has talked to three men unknown to each other who all reported in detail their sexual encounters with Craig over the last four years. The men were of legal age, Rogers said. (Audio of Rogers on the Ed Schultz show is available here.)

Rogers says that digging into the private lives of politicians who support anti-gay legislation is legitimate. Because Craig supported and voted for the Defense of Marriage act, it is politically relevant to reveal these claims, Rogers said. In a letter to Craig, he wrote: "What these citizens are not being told is that some of the politicians who want their help are or have staff who are part of the so-called ‘homosexual lifestyle.’"

1. So, do these mystery partners have names?

If not, it's pretty irrelevant.

13. Mike Rogers says they all will remain anonymous

So the story about Craig being gay is too weak to carry any weight.

2. Good - I can't believe Senator Craigslist replied.

Must be paranoid - he could have waited until it got msm traction.

5. Not as fun as Jeff Sessions

but whatever. I hope at least one of these men are willing to speak on the record, otherwise it's pretty much worthless info.

6. I called his office today and got a "no comment"

and I'm a constituent. Evidently the heat is getting pretty bad for Mr. Craig. He has a lot to lose and is trying to run a bluff. Hope he doesn't get away with it. I was told by a reporter that there are videos. I hope Rogers won't back down.

Craig has been known to be gay all his life. He didn't marry until after a page scandal in which he was linked to the scandal. He married a woman with children whom he adopted. Perfect cover.

7. It Would Be Nice To Have A Smoking Gun .

If nobody comes forward this story will die and "we" can end up looking like the bad guys.

9. Videos!?!?!?!

OMG.....:popcorn:

This is getting veeeeeeery interesting!

14. Erika, nothing personal but your unsupported word doesn't work for me

If Craig is homosexual and it's a well-known fact, how about posting something written by a credible non-anonymous person to back it up?

10. THANK YOU! I am surprised! I was thinking Sessions too!

Hope the guy is running for election!
