Professional anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera is miffed because ... you guessed it ... Berry is gay:Peter is soiling his Pampers because Berry will -- ahem -- work to eliminate discriminatory practices.Homosexual activist groups are predicting that if nominated and confirmed, Berry would work to expand benefits for same-sex couples -- something he did while he worked in the Interior Department.Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says Berry has been flouting the spirit if not the letter of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which bars spousal recognition for same-sex couples.
"First of all, looking at Mr. Berry's track record, it's obvious that he's a homosexual activist within the federal government, doing a lot of things within a Republican administration that most people never were aware of," he contends. "So, what we have is sort of a subversive -- if you could call it that -- homosexual activist, and now he's going to have an even much more visible and powerful role at OPM, which is a very powerful job in Washington. And it just shows what's going to happen under the Obama administration."
[Berry served as assistant secretary for policy, management and budget at the Interior Department during the Clinton administration and his accomplishments include] overseeing the creation of a grievance procedure for employees who experience discrimination because of their sexual orientation; expanding relocation benefits and counseling services to the domestic partners of Interior employees; establishing a liaison to gay and lesbian employees; and eliminating discriminatory provisions of the National Park Service's law enforcement standards, including bans on security clearances for gay and lesbian employees.This is insane. Then again, since the election, Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality has featured utterly desperate content. Some sample headlines:
* Pervert4Mayor in Fort Lauderdale: Earl Rynerson - Would he whip the city into shape? (LaBarbera is incensed that two gay men are running to fill the seat being vacated by the infamous "pro-family hero Jim Naugle" of the six-figure robo-potty.)
* Change We Cannot Believe in - Judge Roy Moore lists reasons Christians should beware of new presidency. 'Shocking that homosexual bishop was asked to pray at all'
* Nobody Hates Like the 'Gay' Left, No. 127 - Infantile 'Joe.My.God' Blog Post Attacks AFTAH. What an honor, Joe!
All I can tell you is that you won't want to miss this (I will post audio once it's available). Grant Haas, the man paid hush money by New Life Church who decided to came forward to disclose more sordid tales about Ted Haggard's extramarital man-on-man sexual activities, will be on The Michelangelo Signorile Show today at 3PM.Grant Haas went public last week to a Colorado Springs TV news station with new accusations against Ted Haggard and New Life Church. But they only told a fraction of his story, which is quite stunning and scandalous.Trust me, it's way more sleazy and twisted than you can ever imagine. Let's put it this way -- the Haggards' appearance on Larry King last week promoting the Pelosi doco was rife with extreme bearing false witness.

Former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle on Tuesday withdrew his nomination to oversee the Health and Human Services Department, just a few hours after another Obama nominee also withdrew.Both had controveries with taxes.
Earlier Tuesday, Nancy Killefer withdrew as President Barack Obama's nominee to be the first chief performance officer for the federal government.
"Nancy Killefer has decided to withdraw her nomination, and we accepted her withdrawal," said Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman.
The White House later released her letter to the president, which in part stated: "I recognize that your agenda and the duties facing your Chief Performance Officer are urgent. I have also come to realize in the current environment that my personal tax issue of D.C. unemployment tax could be used to create exactly the kind of distraction and delay those duties must avoid. Because of this I must reluctantly ask you to withdraw my name from consideration."
Killefer, a 55-year-old executive with consulting giant McKinsey & Co., was the second major Obama administration nominee to withdraw and the third to have tax problems complicate their nomination after President Barack Obama announced their selection.
