At PJ Media, Richard Miniter takes a look behind the scenes of the Scott Beauchamp scandal that The New Republic is trying so hard to pretend never happened: How The New Republic Got Suckered.
Miniter has interviews with Beauchamp’s German ex-girlfriend, and with (Th)Robert McGee who blew the whistle on this sham—and was subsequently the target of a really sleazy smear piece by Max Blumenthal, published at Huffington Post, Yahoo News, and The Nation: When Lefties Drop the Mask.
Funny, how the anti-gay attacks now come from left field.
McGee has been out since college—and noted that few on the Right had raised any issues about his interest in men. He sometimes openly mentioned it on posts on Little Green Footballs. “No one ever made a big deal out of it,” he says, until the Huffington Post did.
