On top of that, Ed Engler, the editor of the Laconia Daily Sun, announced his newspaper would no longer carry Lambert’s weekly column. Even more, Lambert is being forced to resign from county co-chairman position on Republican congressional candidate Frank Guinta’s campaign.

Lez Get Real reports that Ryan Williams, a spokesman for the Granite States GOP said, “Mr. Lambert’s comments were completely inappropriate, offensive and hurtful” and they “having nothing to do with the party whatsoever.”
….
But the Republicans in the Legislature are still trying to stop SSM in NH! Maybe they can all be fired too.

…After co-host Skip Murphy said that he should probably shut off the feed, Lambert looked into the camera and said, “Speaking of gays, Happy Birthday Ray Buckley. Are you going to Holland or taking another trip with your buddies?”

He then dances in a way meant to mock a gay male and says:”Yeah you Faggot. [Pause.] That’s right I said it and I meant it. You are reprobate. How the people, the Democrats, I think of some of the gray haired ladies and older people from the old party would stand behind you is beyond me. You are a disgrace to yourself to humanity to mankind and to your party.

“Other than that Happy Birthday Ray and many more — not,” Lambert continued before the feed was quickly shut off.”

Why in the HELL would you WANT an apology from someone who offers it insincerely in the first place?

I say, spit in his face and move on.

He should be held out as some weird left over fringe element from the 20th century, not allowed to redeem himself by lying out an apology.

I’m just glad we call this out. I had never heard the much reported use of gay as a substitute for stupid (which I find quite ironic as so many hets seem really lacking in brain power)…until recently when on a local papers blog someone called someone else gay for getting a fact wrong. I called him out, and people agreed with me. We have to speak out and not let what describes us be hijacked. Its just like companies protecting their brands. I’m glad we are doing it.

Indirectly apologizing is unmanly and cowardly and continues to be a sad commentary on Lambert’s lack of decency and lack of backbone.

This man’s ego and bigotry most certainly got the best of him.
