OF FOLKS THA I'M ACTIVELY LOOKING AT,

FROM A U.S. CABINET OFFICIAL

TO OFFICES OF SOME PRETTY

ANTIGAY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

SO I'M HERE.

I'M GETTING READY

TO GO ON "HANNITY & COLMES"

TONIGHT AT 9:
00.

DAVID'S WITH ME,

HELPING ME OUT ON SOME

OF MY TALKING POINTS.

- SAY HI, DAVID.

- HELLO.

CAN'T LET THE RIGHT WING BE

THE ONLY ONES WITH THE FLAG.

I ACTUALLY ONCE HAD SOMEBODY

ASK ME ON FOX NEWS,

"ARE YOU SURE YOU WAN TO WEAR THAT FLAG?"

"YEAH, I AM."

SO, DAVID, WHY DON'T YOU

FIRE ME A FEW QUESTIONS

LIKE HOW HANNITY'S

GOING TO DO THAT, YOU KNOW?

"MIKE, HOW IS WHAT YOU'RE DOING

DIFFERENT THAN McCARTHYISM?"

- THIS IS McCARTHYISM!"

- FIRST OF ALL,

SEAN, McCARTHY

WAS A LIAR.

McCARTHY PUT OU FALSE INFORMATION

- ABOUT AMERICANS.

- OH NO!

THAT'S JUST THE SAUCE.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO CUT YOU

OFF RIGHT THERE.

- MIKE-- MIKE-- MIKE--

- SEAN-- SEAN-- SEAN--

- WE'RE OUTTA TIME.

- THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

YOUR MOUTH WILL OPEN,

BUT NOTHING WILL COME

OUT OF IT.

Hannity:

Breaking news tonight.

Fox News has confirmed

that Senator Larry Craig

may be reconsidering his

decision to resign.

Joining us now

with reaction to this story

is blogger Mike Rogers,

who called for an investigation

into Craig last year.

All right, from the beginning.

HI, SEAN, AND GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON.

Larry Craig is a hypocrite.

He is an antigay

closeted individual

who has sex with other men.

I read what you had

and apparently this tape

of this one guy

that "The Idaho Statesman"

followed up on.

- It was a-- wait,

hang on a second.

- It's not one guy, Sean.

It was an anonymous source--

why doesn't the guy go

on the record?

Sean, it's not one guy.

It's now three or four.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY

NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.

I HAVE HEARD PHYSICAL

CHARACTERISTICS REPEATED TO ME

FROM VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS.

I don't know

about Senator Craig.

I'm going to be honest,

- I don't have the details.

There is suspicion--

- I DO, I DO.

Are there others in the same

category as Larry Craig

who you think whose names

will be forthcoming

because of your work?

ABSOLUTELY.

THERE ARE NAMES:

OF THE FOLKS IN CONGRESS

IN HIGH POSITIONS OF POWER

WHO ARE LEADING A SECRE DOUBLE LIFE.

And what I would say to Sean is,

Sean, where do you stand

with Larry Craig?

And will you stand

in the same position

if other

two-lived hypocrites

ARE EXPOSED?

BECAUSE I CAN ASSURE YOU

THAT THERE IS NO SHORTAGE.

( silent )

Rogers:

MY FIRST VERY BIG CASE

WAS THIS CONGRESSMAN

IN VIRGINIA BY THE NAME

OF ED SCHROCK.

Rogers:

A MONTH LATER, I GOT A TIP

THAT THERE WAS:

A CONGRESSMAN WHO WAS GAY

AND THAT HE WAS USING

AN INTERACTIVE PHONE

DATING SERVICE:

TO FIND WHAT MAY BE

KNOWN AS INSTA-SEX,

OR, YOU KNOW, TO HOOK UP

WITH SOMEBODY FOR SEX.

AND THE FIRST THING

I SAID TO THE PERSON WAS,

"THIS IS INSANE.

I CAN'T PUT UP

THAT A CONGRESSMAN

IS USING AN INTERACTIVE

PHONE SERVICE WITHOUT PROOF.

I MEAN, THAT'S A HELL

OF A CHARGE TO LEVY."

AND HE SAYS, "I HAVE SEVERAL

RECORDINGS OF THE CONGRESSMAN

GOING ON THE PHONE LINE

TO MEET A MAN FOR SEX.

AND THEY'RE VERY EXPLICIT."

AND I WAS LIKE, WOW!

( phone dialing )

( recording playing )

( phone clicks )

SO I TOOK THE RECORDINGS

AND WENT AHEAD:

AND REPORTED:

ON ED SCHROCK ON MY BLOG.

A case of the moral hunter

becoming the moral hunted.

Congressman Edward Schrock,

a Virginia Republican

who once co-sponsored a bill

to ban same-sex marriage,

dropped out of his bid

for re-election last month.

Rogers:

HE NEVER ADMITTED

THAT THEY WERE HIM,

BUT HE RESIGNED:

FROM HIS RE-ELECTION.

THERE IT IS.

I AM GOING TO TELL PEOPLE

WHO THESE HORRIBLE TRAITORS ARE.

AND THEY ARE TRAITORS

TO THEIR PEOPLE.

I BELIEVE THAT.

AND I FEL THAT IT WAS TIME

FOR ME TO STAR REPORTING THAT AS HYPOCRISY.

NOT OUTING PEOPLE

WHO ARE GAY,

BUT REPORTING:

ON INDIVIDUALS:

WHO ARE WORKING:

AGAINST THE COMMUNITY

THAT THEY THEN EXPEC TO PROTECT THEM.

BE WAITING IN FRON OF 1600 BROADWAY.

THAT'S PERFECT.

Catania:

MICHAEL HAS DECIDED

THAT THEY HAVE BEEN

CHASING US FOR YEARS.

AND WHAT MICHAEL REPRESENTS IS,

"WE'RE GONNA CHASE BACK."

NOW THAT UPSETS THE RULES

BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS

THE HOUNDS CHASE THE FOXES.

WELL, THIS FOX IS

CHASING THE HOUNDS.

AND IT'S GOT THEM

ALL BENT OUT OF SHAPE.

AND I SAY:

MORE POWER TO HIM.

I THINK OUTING:

IS A...

FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG

AND DISHONEST THING TO DO.

NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW

OR UNDERSTAND:

THE PERSONAL JOURNEY

THAT AN INDIVIDUAL TAKES

TO ACCEPTING THE FAC THAT THEY ARE GAY OR LESBIAN.

I JUST FEEL SYMPATHY

WHEN THEY ARE EXPOSED THAT WAY.

I THINK EVERY GAY PERSON

KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE

TO HAVE YOUR PRIVACY

RIPPED APART.

THERE IS A RIGHT TO PRIVACY,

BUT NOT A RIGHT TO HYPOCRISY.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THA THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE LAW

BE SUBJECT TO THE LAW.

PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SUBJEC TO LAWS WILL MAKE HARSH LAWS

BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE

TO LIVE WITH THEM.

HAVING THE PEOPLE

WHO MAKE THE LAW

BE FULLY COVERED BY THE LAW

IS A SAFEGUARD:

AGAINST UNFAIRNESS.

THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE

ON WHICH OUR DEMOCRACY

IS IN PART BUIL THAT GAY PEOPLE

WHO SUPPORT HOMOPHOBIA

ARE VIOLATING.

Anchor:

And now to Campaign 2006.

He's been the state's

attorney general and education

commissioner and on Tuesday,

Charlie Crist hopes

to be elected governor.

Reporter:

Charlie Crist--

50, single, no kids,

doesn't own a home,

wants to live in

the governor's mansion.

I'm a consistent

conservative.

I can continue to stand

for the things that

I believe in.

Reporter:

At a stop in Miami,

the tone was urgent.

I need you to get it out there.

I need your vote.

I need your heart.

I need your passion.

Get out there,

get it done.

Viva Crist. Let's win.

God bless you.

I believe that marriage

is a sacred relationship

between a man

and a woman.

I've always felt that way

and I still believe that now.

Marriage is a relationship

like my mother and father had,

like I had

before I got divorced.

It is one of those

unique institutions--

not only in America,

but across the world--

where a man and a woman

commit to one another.

HI, BRUCE.

THIS IS BOB NORMAN

WITH "NEW TIMES."

I AM A JOURNALIST WHO WORKS

IN THE ALTERNATIVE REALM.

I DO THE STORIES THA THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

DOESN'T DO.

I HAD WRITTEN:

ABOUT MARK FOLEY IN 2003.

THAT HAD GOTTEN A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT OF ATTENTION.

THAT WAS WHAT LED TO

MY INVOLVEMENT WITH CRIS IN TERMS OF WRITING

ABOUT CRIST.

THIS SOURCE WAS:

AT A DINNER PARTY

AT A MULTIMILLION

DOLLAR MANSION:

IN FORT LAUDERDALE.

AND HE WAS WITH A YOUNG STAFFER

JASON WAS A YOUNG

REPUBLICAN STAFFER

WORKING FOR:

KATHERINE HARRIS,

THE FAMOUS MASCARA'D QUEEN

OF THE 2000 ELECTION.

JASON SAID THAT HE HAD

MET CHARLIE CRIST,

HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM--

A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,

AND HE EXPECTED AFTER CRIS WON THE ELECTION,
