WASHINGTON -- As President Barack Obama is set to nominate former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as defense secretary, the Log Cabin Republicans have released a full-page ad in the Washington Post opposing him.
The ad by the conservative gay rights group criticizes Hagel's record on issues of LGBT equality.
In 1998, Hagel called James Hormel, then President Bill Clinton's choice for U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg, “openly, aggressively gay." He characterized Hormel's sexual orientation as an "inhibiting factor" that would prevent him from doing "an effective job."
Hagel recently apologized, saying his 1998 remarks were "insensitive." Hormel has said the former senator's remarks seemed politically timed but accepted them as a "clear apology."
Romney was permitted by the right wing to change his opinion in a month, week, day and etch a sketch the whole thing away, but double standard bearers that they are want to reverse their stance and look out for Gay rights and not allow someone who made insensitive remarks 15 years ago?
they really don't think much of American intelligence, i guess that too is their plan by defunding and trying to privatize education, no board of education no regulation teach what you want with impunity.
