A pro-family group wants to inform voters about the depths of Hillary Clinton’s pro-homosexual activism before the upcoming Super Tuesday primaries.

Conservative watchdog groups exposed Senator Clinton (D-New York) last week for garnering 261 pork projects ("earmarks") for her supporters — more than five times as many as any other presidential candidate currently serving in Congress. E armarks are vague, written instructions attached to federal agency budgets that are often used as a "backdoor" to fund pet projects. Now Peter LaBarbera with Republicans for Family Values is drawing attention to one $300,000 funding earmark Clinton secured.

"One of the recipients was the Gay Men’s Health Crisis [Center]," notes LaBarbera. "[The Crisis Center] is a typical, radical, homosexual activist/AIDS organization that opposes abstinence and supports homosexual funding and subsidizing — effectively, promotion of homosexual sex acts."

LaBarbera says Senator Clinton’s dedication to the homosexual agenda would carry over into a Clinton White House, were she to be elected. "I think we’re looking at the most pro-homosexual presidency that ever was," he warns. "I mean, Bill Clinton was horrible, as you remember, but this is way worse than even Bill Clinton."

However, homosexuality is not the only issue on which LaBarbera feels the Democratic candidates are out of touch with mainstream America. "I would say the same thing about abortion," he says. "The fact [is] that Hillary and Barack Obama are arguing over who is the most radically pro-abortion candidate."

LaBarbera is hopeful that whoever becomes the Republican nominee will confront their Democratic opponent on these and other important social issues.

A group that lobbies for needle exchanges, for allowing more immigrants with HIV/AIDS to legally enter the country, and for condom distribution in prisons received a $303,000 federal earmark pushed by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).

That was one of 261 earmarks Clinton personally helped usher through Congress. That’s more earmarks than any other member of Congress seeking the presidency, according to an analysis by the watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).

This specific appropriation is from the Department of Justice and is aimed at fighting methamphetamine use - that’s what the Gay Men’s Health Crisis Center is supposed to do with the taxpayer-funded money.

Clinton announced the grant in October 2007, a month after receiving a $750 donation and a $250 donation from Felix Lopez, an attorney for the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and for a clinic based in New York.

A number of other non-profit organizations in New York state that received Clinton earmarks also had employees who contributed to her presidential campaign or political action committee, HillPAC.

Felix Lopez could not be reached for comment this week.

The funding for the earmarks came through the $555 billion FY 2008 omnibus bill, which included nearly 1,000 earmarks. Clinton’s 261 earmarks were more than twice as many as any other member of Congress seeking the presidency, the CAGW analysis showed.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will join Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on the presidential campaign trail when she comes to town on Tuesday - and Republicans couldn’t be happier about it.

The way they see it, the more face time the pro-gay-marriage, pro-sanctuary-city, pro-gun-control mayor of the most leftist, liberal city in America spends with the Democratic front-runner, the better.

A recent news release distributed by the Republican National Committee to political reporters around the country lambasted Newsom as "Hillary’s San Francisco Treat" and took a direct guilt-by-association swipe at Clinton by highlighting the mayor’s signature last month on a local law to issue undocumented immigrants ID cards.

There’s even a photo of the smiling pair together to document the day in August when Clinton came to town to collect Newsom’s endorsement and crown him as one of her campaign’s national co-chairs.

"Gavin Newsom symbolizes why Hillary Clinton’s campaign is out of touch with voters in California and across the country," RNC spokesman Paul Lindsay said.

In the midst of a heated primary race for the Democratic nomination, it could be enough to send party heavy hitters fleeing from Newsom, just as some did months before the 2004 presidential election when he famously defied state law and allowed same-sex couples to get married.

Yet despite a high-profile sex scandal and his own admission of a drinking problem earlier this year, not to mention a slew of only-in-San Francisco measures and issues that conservative pundits have pounced on in recent months, Newsom remains a prized political catch for Clinton - at least for now.

Clinton will be in San Francisco Tuesday for a fundraiser with Newsom and billionaire Warren Buffett, and later this month the mayor plans to campaign for her in Iowa. He has held several private fundraisers for Clinton, including one aimed at lesbian and gay donors, and he has stood alongside her at a handful of local campaign functions. He has sent e-mails and made robo-calls on Clinton’s behalf. During a rally in Oakland this fall, the New York senator at one point addressed the mayor as "Gov. Gavin Newsom."

Coveted endorsement

"He’s one of the most important public figures in Northern California," said Chris Lehane, a veteran Democratic operative and former Clinton White House spokesman. "He’s someone who is extraordinarily well respected by some constituency groups that are an important part of the mosaic of the Democratic Party, and someone who has shown the capacity to raise significant amounts of money. Put all those things together and there’s a reason why all the three (leading) Democratic candidates wanted to meet with him and sought his endorsement."

In the first public, political survey ever conducted by a university-based team of scholars with a nationally representative sample of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGBs) Americans, results released today show that Senator Hillary Clinton has the support of 63 percent of LGB likely voters in the Democratic primaries, followed by Senator Barack Obama with 22 percent and John Edwards with 7 percent.  The Hunter College Poll also finds that during the process of “coming out,” LGBs become more liberal and more engaged in the political process than the general population. 

“We found a stunning transformation in political views in the LGB community of a magnitude that is virtually unparalleled among social groupings in the U.S. population,” said political science professor Kenneth Sherrill of Hunter College, one of the study’s investigators.  The Hunter College Poll was conducted with 768 respondents by Knowledge Networks, Inc. from November 15th through November 26th, 2007.

I wrote a piece for the NYPost published today on CNN’s horticultural journalism (reprinted below). Filed it before we learned about the CAIR intern. CNN host Howard Kurtz quotes CNN senior veep David Bohrman bleating that they “bent over backwards to be fair.” I quote him below, too. Glenn Reynolds notes that CNN used Google…to buy plane tickets for Plant Number One Keith Kerr and other questioners.

Which ones, I wonder?

I’ll be talking about the debacle this morning on Fox and Friends around 8:15am. (Update - Video here.)

IF any more political plants turn up at CNN’s presidential debates, the cable-news network will have to merge with the Home and Garden channel.

At CNN’s Democratic debate in Las Vegas two weeks back, moderator Wolf Blitzer introduced several citizen questioners as “ordinary people, undecided voters.” But they later turned out to include a former Arkansas Democratic director of political affairs, the president of the Islamic Society of Nevada and a far left anti-war activist who’d been quoted in newspapers lambasting Harry Reid for his failure to pull out of Iraq.

Yet CNN failed to disclose those affiliations and activism during the broadcast.

Behold - the phony political foliage bloomed again at Wednesday night’s much hyped CNN/YouTube GOP debate.

Oh, CNN did make careful note that Grover Norquist (who asked about his anti-tax pledge) is a Republican activist with Americans for Tax Reform. But somehow the network’s layers and layers of fact-checkers missed several easily identified Democratic activists posing as ordinary, undecided citizens.

Sen. Hillary Clinton was put on the defense by questions linking her campaign to retired Brig Gen. Keith Kerr, whose question on gays in the military briefly electrified last night’s Republican debate. Following the CNN/YouTube debate, moderator Anderson Cooper announced that bloggers were claiming that Kerr served on Clinton’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender steering committee, and quickly apologized for including his question.

Clinton’s campaign hotly denied that the question, posed in a YouTube video, was a “plant” by the campaign. “We didn’t do this, we had nothing to do with this guy, he was acting on his own,” spokesman Phil Singer said in an interview. Singer said he expected questions about the incident from “right-wing bloggers,” but not from news outlets as worthy as this one.

“There’s nothing here,” he added.

Kerr said he didn’t ask the question on the Clinton campaign’s behalf in a CNN interview this morning. He said he had only lent his name to the campaign and hadn’t given it any money. “This was a private initiative,” he said of his question. Still, it was an unwelcome diversion for the New York senator and Democratic front-runner as she heads into the final weeks before the Iowa caucus.

Kerr asked on video why the candidates thought that “American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians.” After answers by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, Kerr, who was in the audience, was handed a CNN microphone and invited to comment on their response.

“With all due respect, I did not get an answer from the candidates,” he said to applause. Sen. John McCain of Arizona then joined the debate, saying that military officers believe the current don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy is working, setting off some rancorous exchanges.

Minutes after the debate ended, Cooper announced that bloggers were emailing to tell them that Kerr has worked for the Clinton campaign. Singer confirmed that the general is part of a campaign advisory board, but said he isn’t “employed” by the campaign and wasn’t acting for the campaign last night.

Apparently, CNN’s latest efforts for their Democrat masters involved stacking the Republican debate with questions from full-time Democrat activists.

According to internet research as compiled by Michelle Malkin and others, they so far include:

“Concerned Undecided Mom” LeeAnn Anderson, who is an activist for the John Edwards-endorsing United Steelworkers union.

“Concerned Undecided Log Cabin Republican” David Cercone, who is an avowed Barack Obama supporter.

“Concerned Undecided Young Person” “Journey,” who is an avowed John Edwards supporter.

“Concerned Undecided Young Farmer” (from Manhattan Beach, CA) Ted Faturos, who is a former intern for Democrat Congresswoman Jane Harman.

“Concerned Undecided Young Black Man” David McMillan, who is an avowed Republican hater and John Edwards supporter.

And lastly but not leastly, this mother of all ringers, “Concerned Undecided Retired General” Keith H. Kerr:

Mr. Kerr is in fact a top Hillary Clinton supporter who is even on her Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered “steering committee.” (Which, as we noted previously, is headed by Hillary’s Wellesley roommate, Eldie Acheson.)

Mr. Kerr is also a member of the Veterans and Military Retirees for Hillary Committee.

Kerr, he was never an active duty Army General of any flavor. He retired from the Reserves in 1986 as a Col. and given an appointment to the California National Guard in 1991.

He never attended any sort of Military Academy instead receiving his educational credentials with questionable degrees from Berkley and San Francisco State.

To sum Mr Kerr up in the simplest terms, his entire career from the time he was a private, to this very day is that of a fraud, and a con artist.

Will his claim to the Special Forces Tab will now be investigated and will he will be unmasked for exactly what he is?
