The question about whether the fact-checking process at the magazine has broken down is merely rhetorical, right? WOW does this story show perfectly the eat-their-own attitude of the left these days. And the fact that the HuffPost attacked the whistle-blower for his sexuality not only puts the lie to their alleged magnanimity re. such issues. Of course, what they’re saying is that anything-other-than-a-far-left gay person is, in effect, NOT an “authentic” gay person. Just as conservative blacks aren’t “really” black, conservative hispanics are traitors to their race, etc. etc.
It is one thing for republicans to label less-than-pure-ideologically members of the party as “RINO”‘s since that’s about ideas, but to literally oust a person from their own race or sexual identity for a failure of POLITICS is pretty amazingly fascistic, even for the current netroots. Tell you what it reminds ME of: The German racial classifications in the 1930′s re being “6/10ths Aryan” etc. etc.
