Poor Cheney
Hannity who has made a career out of cheap shots and callous defamation was outraged tonight about John Kerry's supportive comment about Mary Cheney's sexual orientation, during last night's debate. Steve Murphy and Rich Lowry joined Hannity and Colmes to discuss the non event that has become the Republican diversionary tool. 10/14/04
Lowry and Hannity refused to acknowledge that Kerry's comment was supportive, choosing instead to talk over Murphy expressing their shock and outrage. Hannity talked about his own integrity in choosing not to bad mouth Chelsea Clinton and claimed that Mary Beth Cahill said that Cheney's daughter was "fair game"
Lowry exposed the Republican's homophobia when he said that Kerry was wrong because not that many people knew that Cheney's daughter was gay and her privacy should have been respected.
When Colmes showed a quote from Cheney acknowledging his daughter's homosexuality and supporting it, Lowry jumped at him. "This is not true. It's false!". Then he claimed that Mary Cheney isn't a high level person in the campaign. Murphy, exasperated replied,"She's the Campaign manager."
Comment: Now we know why Mary Cheney's partner was not included with the family on stage after the Republican Convention. Many people speculated that
the RNC wanted to keep it low profile so they purposely kept Mary and her partner out of the family tableau. However, both Dick and Lynn Cheney have been very open and public about their support of Mary. So why is Lynn so outraged at Kerry's remark? Obviously, she has been pressured by the campaign and their desire to get the evangelical vote.
