Duck and cover! The claws are definitely coming out in the DNC v. Washington Blade battle.
Tensions have been building for months, ever since the Blade began writing unflattering pieces regarding Donald Hitchcock's discrimination suit against the Democratic National Committee. Things only got worse last week when a testifying Howard Dean took some swipes at the paper and compared its reporting to that of Fox News. Ouch.
Blade editor Kevin Naff says he didn't want to get personal, but Dean's left him no option:
It is irresponsible of Dean to question the paper’s credibility without offering any specific claims of inaccurate reporting. I challenge him to produce examples of how the paper was “incorrect†in its reporting… Why are party officials, including Dean, so dismissive and critical of the gay press? It’s unfortunate that Dean and his staff have avoided responding to questions that are so important to such a loyal party constituency.
Oh, please, what else are we homos going to do? Vote Republican? Some would rather die – and the Demmies know it.

But, in fairness, the gays are good to the Democrats :)
The Washington Blade makes me wish i had pet birds so i could make some use of that rag.
Or stop voting. Or vote a write-in ballot for your favorite gay icon. What was the last federal gay bill the dems actually did anything with? You can't complain when you keep voting for a party that mistreats you; it's an abusive relationship.
Washington Blade is the only true gay voice we have in D.C., besides maybe Americablog.com, and John Aravosis never comes out and says "I am a gay blog". He wants universal advertising that brings big blog bucks. That is a problem.
Sorry, I meant big blog barking bucks. lol
Gays will keep voting for the Dem party no matter how badly they are continually mistreated. They expect gay news outlets and gay groups and individuals to tow the party line no matter what.
How have they made our lives better? They want to keep us as weak victims and stay under their heel.
