Ron Paul Supporter Accuses Rick Perry Of Having Extramarital Affairs With Strippers And Being Gay, Runs Full-Page Ad Seeking Dirt…
Pathetic.
(Salon) — An Austin Ron Paul supporter has taken out a full-page ad in the local alt weekly newspaper seeking any “stripper . . . escort . . . or ‘young hottie’” who has slept with Rick Perry, part of his single-minded jihad against the presidential candidate.
Robert Morrow describes himself as a “self-employed investor and political activist” as well as a three-time delegate to the Texas state GOP convention.
“Have you ever had sex with Rick Perry?” blares the ad, placed by Morrow in this week’s Austin Chronicle. “Are you a stripper, an escort, or just a ‘young hottie’ impressed by an arrogant, entitled governor of Texas? Contact CASH, and we will help you publicize your direct dealings with a Christian-buzzwords-spouting, ‘family values’ hypocrite and fraud.”
CASH is the Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy, of which Morrow is president. “Is it a real group? No. It’s just me,” he told Salon earlier this week. Here is the ad, which the paper confirmed is running today.
To be clear, there is absolutely no evidence that Perry has had extramarital affairs. But Morrow has written a screed, currently circulating online, that denounces Perry both for his policies (it labels him a “crony capitalist” and a “Neocon”) as well as his alleged dalliances.
Morrow claims that he knows strippers in Austin who have stories about Perry, but none of them are willing to come forward to the press; hence, the need for an ad in the Chronicle. “I think it’s only a matter of time until somebody credible comes forward,” he told me.
At the bottom of the ad is a nod to the longtime (and equally unsubstantiated) rumors that Perry, who has pursued sundry anti-gay policies, is himself gay. “Note to gay people: If you know the truth about Rick, please QUIT covering for him,” it reads.
The Chronicle itself looked into the infidelity/gay rumors in 2004, calling them “extraordinary in their baroque detail and remarkable persistence.” It found “no evidence of any truth to any of them, whatsoever.” Just this past June, Politico reported that Perry’s organization was “more than prepared” for a re-airing of the gay rumors. His spokesman said that Perry and his wife, Anita, “have been lovingly married since 1982 and are parents to two grown children.”

Disgraceful and disgusting. The more the establishment GOP and Dems attack Perry the more I like him.
Most strippers and escorts have too much class to respond to such.
If Robert Morrow is a Ron Paul supporter, then shouldn’t he lean Libertarian?
So where is all this ‘morality’ crap coming from? He sounds more like a Progressive than a Libertarian.
“C.A.S.H.”? Really? That again sounds more Progressive than Libertarian.
.
I did Ron Paul. It was’t as good as I thought it would be
This could be the end of Ron Paul, regardless if it was a supporter. Are those grounds for suit?
Actually, I’ve not ever run across a guy that goes to see strippers and is gay. Gays are classier than that. But, a Ron Paul supporter knows all about them…..
I’m sorry, but this doesn’t look like the Paulanista brand of wackiness to me.
This looks like something Van Jones would organize.
.
Ron Paul supporters are NO different then ACORN agitators.
Forget the message. Somebody call the Font Police.
On a previous thread I said that the Paulbots tactics were almost as bad as the Left’s. I take that back. They are as bad!
They spread stories of everything from A to Z all over the internet. They’ve even built sites for the sole purpose of disseminating misinformation.
And it’s not just about Perry. Palin, Bachman, Cain and Romney have also been targets, but nothing like the focus they have on Perry.
not one word on barry,s ex girlfriends, students,friends, or drug supplier, do we have on record
‘Morality’ is not something that most Libertarians are willing to legislate. Something is not right with this story.

Washington Post: What do you think about the issues of prostitution and marijuana. Where do you come down on that?
Ron Paul: Well, I understand prostitution has been around for a few years. And they tried to legislate it out of existence and I don’t think it’s worked very well. I would essentially have no restrictions, certainly on the federal level. And marijuana – I think it’s tragic what’s happening today in the drug war. Since the early ’70s we’ve spent maybe $200 to $300 billion on the drug war. That’s not been any good. This whole effort on the drug war doesn’t make any sense at all to me.

This is more Larry Flynt than Ron Paul. Give it a few days – I’m sure we’re about to learn a whole lot about this scumbag Robert Morrow.
Moonbats will do Moonbat stuff. Loony Fringe types all
I guess he felt he needed to cover all the bases. The only thing he left out was the polygamists and the animal lovers.
Many have pointed out that Obama is suspected of being as queer as a $3 bill… But they are called racists…
Somehow I just can’t help but believe that Rick Perry is going to benefit from these moonbat accusations… I have lived in Texas most of my life and have been seriously involved in politics for a LONG time and none of this CRAP about Perry is any kind of factual…
If you haven’t seen this, you need to: Seventeen (17) things that critics are saying about Rick Perry
Perry IS a good looking guy. This was only a matter of time. No doubt some drug-addled hooker will step forward looking for a payoff. It makes me wonder why this sort of thing wasn’t attempted against Romney, also good…er decent looking. For the record, I don’t think Perry has done any of what this whacko claims.
The establishment disdains Perry.
The Paulbots hate Perry.
The left are apoplectic about Perry.
I like him more and more.
listingboard…
You hit the nail on the head, I just posted my same sentiments over here about this filthy BS.
http://angrywhitedude.com/2011/08/gene-simmons-god-of-thunder-agrees-rick-perry-next-president/
I hope this backfires…big time!
What I find so telling about this is the Star Wars font. That tells you what kind of Comicon people support this loon. They don’t necessarily support him for his fiscal policies, but they absolutely love him for his head-in-the-sand foreign policies. Anyway, some Libertarians are just fiscally conservative Progressives. May the force be with you.
As if a single gay person in Texas or elsewhere would cover up any alleged gay relationship with Rick Perry. This very fact makes the whole thing ludicrous. But, I’m sure with MSLSD on the job, we’ll find doctored memos, etc., “proving” such alleged relationships.
Rick Perry has enough of a liberal record to undo himself…this is childish & desperate
Paulbots … doing the dirty work the Obamabots are too lazy to do.
I think Mr. Morrow mistakingly thinks Gov Perry attended the University of Miami…..
So which is it? Is he cheating with strippers or is he gay? And if you have to go on a fishing expedition to recruit serial liars you apparently have no proof.
Paulestinians are a disturbed group.
I agree with gastorgrab – when I saw this I thought it was rather contradictory – and it would be interesting if Rick Perry could, does and wins by suing this jerks ass off.
It wouldn`t surprise me if Mr Pelosi paid for this ad….for his own personal needs. I can`t blame the guy – he is probably tired of waking up and seeing Nancys skanky face every morning.
I heard he and Sarah Palin were together. I’m just kidding. You can tell who they fear by who they attack. I think he should pick Sarah as his running mate. You’d see the left have a total mental breakdown over that.
listingstarboard,
I agree with you. I think they’re jealous of his good looks, and tough talking Texan way. It’s true blue American and it drives them nuts. Just like Sarah Palin. They’d make a darn good looking team wouldn’t they?
How would we label Perry’s ideals?
Conservative, Tea Party, Neoconservative, Liberal, RINO, Socialist, Libertarian, Leftist, Right Wing…..????

At least when I get screwed by my hubby he buys me dinner afterwards.
Oh brother!!!!!!!!!
@Steven San Francisco:
Hey now! Not all Comic Con goers are wackos.
Granted, most of them are, which is surprising since many are quite intelligent. They’ll learn, hopefully.
This is absolutely SHAMELESS, low class and uncalled for. They are obviously very, very threatened by Perry’s run. Paul will never, ever be president. The sooner they realize that, the better. He is WAY too wacky, WAY too off the rails and WAY too bizarre for most people.
Oh, and I can see it now. Someone will mysteriously “appear” out of the shadows with tales of lewd & lascivious acts with Perry. It won’t be true, but the media will not care one whit. All it takes is for the seed to be planted and the lying media to run with it. The idiocracy portion of our populace will just hear the headline blurb.
@Bee1
Well, with Obama I get screwed and he makes sure I pay for dinner!!!
@gastorgrab
It isn’t about morality. That is just a ruse, the means to an end. It’s about having Ron Paul win the nomination. And in order to do that they have to knock out anyone they think can beat him..
Hard to believe this slacker let Perry skate on the extra terrestrial abduction and space ride story!
The Left Wing Dems are up to their typica dirty politics. I live the Sex questions to the Dems, but I wounder why they are hammering the Republican Candidates, let’s see Rep. David Wu, Rep. Anthony Weiner, President Clinton getting a Luninsky in the White House! The Dems really have room to try to slander the Republican, much less Conservative Christians!
The odds of me voting for Paul has now decreased.
He’s cereal!!
I live in Austin, this guy is a total Loony Toon, not for RP but a liberal Prog. A new act to say “Look at me I’m Special”.
Can’t we just lock these idiots away like we use to ?
Oh yeah… So Ron Paul gets the blame for someone else’s ad. Please. If youre going to attack him, attack his ideas or HIS OWN actions. This is no better than the leftist Tea Party blame for everything under the sun. Thought you guys were better than that!
This site has really started going downhill since it started attacking Ron Paul, calling him racist and anti-semitic which is totally untrue. You guys are just mad because he doesn’t like military welfare, like you do. He’s a conservative in the true sense of the word, which means no handouts to Blackwater and Boeing either. This site has been exposed as a big government site.
Funny. I was living in Austin when the Chronicle itself organized picketers around the Capitol building claiming his wife caught him in bed with a guy–according to informed sources. Must have missed the part where they decided to actually “investigate” the allegation. The Chronicle is part of a chain of alt weeklies all over the Country. The same Leftists write progressive columns in all of them.
“This site has been exposed as a big government site.”
I liked Ron Paul too….when I was a child.
@uh sure:
Military Welfare? Sorry you feel that way. I don’t think the Seals and Airman that died last week considered themselves welfare cases. I think RP and his supporters should take a close look at the world, shifting economic realities, increasing scarcity of resources, potential flash points, etc – and really think about whether you want to gut the military. We’ve been down that road before, never worked out too well. We HAVE spent a lot of national treasure to build up our military post 9-11, you sure you want to throw it away? The threat is not going away, I promise you. Either way, I’d stay away from calling the military a welfare case…..

‘”Rick Perry is gay” and “Rick Perry is homophobic”. Politico and other magazines have inferred that there are questions about Perry’s sexual preferences, These accusations remain unsubstantiated and there appears to be no evidence that Perry is either gay or homophobic. There is no question, however, that he supports the tenet that a marriage binds one man to one woman.’
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2011/08/truth-about-rick-perry-cliff-notes.html
Fuck off, Ron Paul and take your whiny butt supporters with you..
Ron Paul occasionally makes salient, viable points, but these are the kinds of antics that make me run away from him screaming. But then, even a hard-core Libertarian like Neal Boortz is regularly excoriated and attacked by the Paulians. Neal says they’re just nuts, and I have to say that I haven’t met a Paulian yet who didn’t go off the deep end on several issues. In a roundabout way, Paul supporters are actually helping Obama win reelection.
I understand that the first 50 people that respond to Morrow’s ad get to have sex with Ron Paul. The details are murky, but finalists that are able to have sex with Ron Paul without vomiting win a prize or something.
“So Ron Paul gets the blame for someone else’s ad. ” @ Frank Zentura
Then Paul needs to kick this clown out of his organization and make it loud and clear to ALL his followers that he will not tolerate this kind of BS. Keep it about the issues! Then he personally needs to extend his apologies to Perry for the behavior of his followers. But if Paul sits back, then it is the same as Muslims sitting back and watching others of their faith cut the throats of children or blow up a market place without uttering a peep. It is tacit approval for what they are doing.
I don’t agree with this kind of crap…
Ron Paul, save me from your followers…
I’m not the biggest Ron Paul fan, though I agree with much of what he says, but a great many of his supporters seem to be weirdos and assholes, which fairly or not, makes me not want to be a Ron Paul supporter..
Uhm — why is this out of bounds? Didn’t Right Wingers get all in a wad about Clinton getting a B-J or two? (I think they even impeached him, didn’t they?) I mean, aren’t all these Evangelical types SUPPOSED to care if a fellow gets a little side action? Isn’t that one of their ISSUES? Or is there some kind of double standard here?
If you want to boost your site meter hits, mention the fact that Ron Paul is a goofy old bastard and that his followers are Paultards…
They come out of the woodwork to defend the old LOSER!
Wow! His supporters are really going all out to make sure he is the next POTUS. Bwaaahaaahaaahaaahaaa…….breath……..Bwaaahaahaahaaahaah!
I had sex with a “rich ferry”……signed Reggie in the windy city.
@ Dutchman
Can you show me the full page adds where “right wingers ” inquired after Clinton’s sex partners? But you are right, we should be ashamed of expecting the President of the United States to exhibit some moral standards of behavior. Why not start having White House orgy fund raising events? That way you could be part of the action…
@Aeroman
The United States spent $40,000,000- on the Star Investigation just to find out that Clinton engaged in consensual, completely legal sex with an ambitious tart (big deal). And with that kind of money behind him, I’m sure Ken Star didn’t need to take out any full page ads.
My point is that Liberals really don’t think that what people do consensually, in the privacy of their own homes is a matter of public morals, whereas Conservatives (who are always howling about having less government and fewer regulations when it comes to pollution or consumer safety or financial fraud) who seem to think that a person’s private life ought to be a matter of public record, never seem to look for deviations in their own ranks. Barney Frank (who ought to know) says there are five or seven closeted homosexual Republicans in the House and at least three senators (probably McConnell, Graham and Craig). Everyone knows that Grover Norquist has a beard and two adopted children, yet he’s still at the very center of the action. Ed Schrock, Mark Foley (F-FL), David Dreier (R-CA), and James McCrery R-LA) are pretty obvious too, but — where’s the Republican indignation? We’ve had some speculation about ex-high school wrestling coach Denny Hastert but the male prostitute who says he had sex with him was too embarrassed to be publicly identified. And people are pretty suspicious, for good reason, about Patrick McNutcase (R-NC).
So, shouldn’t the Right Wing clean their own house? After all, they’re the ones so obsessed with what kind of fun other people are having.
If someone placed an ad in a Chicago paper asking for testimony from anyone who had sex with Obama, there would be a stampede……including a few residents from the Chicago Zoo…..
@ Dutchman
Ditto to what Aeroman said. The real problem for Clinton came when he wagged his finger in the face of Americans and said, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” and then testified to that UNDER OATH. That is called PERJURY, not a white lie, and it is an impeachable offense. Had Clinton said, “I was weak and I apologize to the American people, my wife and Ms. Lewinsky for my bad behavior” then he wouldn’t have perjured himself and the whole controversy would have died down sooner.
Oh, and evangelicals are very forgiving when people are honest and open about their shortcomings.
“Let him without is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7
“For if you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive men, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” Matthew 6:14-15
“If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him; and if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times saying ‘I repent’, forgive him.” Luke 17:3-4
“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received it, and they shall be granted to you. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your transgressions.” Mark 11:24-26
@Dutchman
Didn’t know Clinton owned the White House. Perhaps we could have saved that $40,000,000 if your boy had the balls to just admit what he did up front. I for one could care less where the COC puts his tool. But I do expect him or her to be honest. But honesty is just not progressive enough a concept for you Libs….
Uh Sure, you’re a moron. There are countless examples of everything said about the King Paulnut being true, and you just refuse to look at it, or you’re deluded enough to say everybody’s lying, but you and him.
This is precisely why I will have nothing to do with paulnuts. They’re unreasonable, liars and have no purpose other than to attack Conservatism by claiming to be Conservatives, themselves, when they’re anything BUT. Have fun in La-La Land, paulnut.
Unfortunately I have not had sex with Gov Perry.
Perry is the Governor for “Keeping it Weird” Austin Texas for over a decade, he can handle weird accusations.

Ditto. Where do I sign up?
I never slept with Rick Perry, but I was screwed by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and THE ONE.
I guess what it all boils down to is that Liberals want to limit private economic power, while Conservatives want to limit private lives.
Clinton lied because what he did in private wasn’t any of Ken Star’s business. It’s perfectly legal to be a screw around, we all suspected it before he was elected, and if Hillary will put up with it, then it’s a PRIVATE matter that is none of our business.
And are then any creditable reports that Obama has been anything but a faithful husband? With so many people out there who HATE him, don’t you think that something solid would have shown up by now? I don’t know him, but my lawyer had him as a professor for several classes in law school, a business associate’s daughter spent several years in the same schoolrooms as Malia, and I know a lot of his neighbors in Hyde Park and NONE of them think he is anything but a good husband. So where do you GET this stuff?
It’s Conservatives, not Liberals who care what a man does in his own free time. It makes no difference if he’s chaste or dissolute, Rick Perry was a lousy governor, and would make a lousy president. He’s anti-working-class, bad for the environment, and shows every sign of being eager for more imperialistic adventuring.
I just think all of this “concern” that conservative profess to have about “personal morals” is, at the end of the day, secondary. Supposing, for instance, that it were to be proven that Obama was an ideal father and husband and that Rick Perry indulged in viagra and cocaine fueled binges with bimbos, do you really think that many of these self-identified “social conservatives” would vote for Obama? Of course not, they’d vote the ISSUES.

————————-
Actually, adultery is illegal in alot of states, and so is lying in court.
AND, why is it when a democrat does something, its PRIVATE, but yet how much CEOs, Wall Street execs, Saraha Palin, Walmart, etc. make is suddenly public business?
Hypocrisy is an ugly thing.
What people do in their free time dictates who they are.
If someone is “in viagra and cocaine fueled binges with bimbos” do you think they are the type of person that should be making laws that affect others lives? Making decisions that can change the shape of our country and future??
Think about it.
And the only reason (Im sure) nothing has come up about Obamas past is that he has spent MANY millions covering his past up, from kindergarten all the way past college.
And FYI, he is only HATED because of his policies and actions towards the country he is supposed to be leading.
Technically, you are right, perjury is a crime, but I think you will have to admit that lying about a trivial dalliance is not nearly as bad as lying to the United Nations, Congress, and the American public in order to start a war. So Clinton got a few BJ’s: big deal. 4,475 American lives wasted in Irak: kind of a big deal?
In this society MONEY = POWER so money, who has it, who gets to use it, is never really private. The fact of the matter is that over the last forty years there has been a tremendous shift on money from the working classes who actually make and do things to the top 1% of the population. Wages are down at least 17% since 1972 and the gap between rich and poor is greater now than at any time since 1929.
You know what? Some things about a person’s private life DO tell you about their character. Like — what kind of parent they are. Obama’s kids seem pretty well adjusted, Chelsea Clinton has a degree from Oxford, while the Bush Girls are a pair of partying bimbos and, well, then there’s Bristol Palin, the unwed mother herself. How you raise your kids actually affects society, what you do in your bedroom mostly doesn’t.
“MANY millions covering his past up, from kindergarten all the way past college?” You want to tell me who was paying those millions when he was in kindergarten, college, law school, or when he was a professor? No one was covering his tracks then, which pretty much shows that he lead a pretty ordinary, uneventful life. Now that he’s famous of course there are MANY millions trying to uncover imagined scandals in his past. And what have they found? Nothing, really.
Of course people say they “hate Obama because of his policies and actions towards the country he is supposed to be leading,” but he really hasn’t changed many of Bush’s policies. The bail-outs began under Bush, the wars began under Bush, the Bush tax-giveaways to the rich are still in place. “Obamacare” really isn’t his, since it was Mitt Romney’s plan in the first place and then it was proposed by the Congressional leadership, not Obama. The only real difference you can point to is that while Bush said he was pro-life (and then didn’t do anything about it), Obama is unhypocritical about being pro-choice.
And don’t try calling Obama a “socialist.” I’m a socialist, I know what a socialist is, Obama is just Bush-lite. You won’t get single-payer healthcare, a living minimum wage, or genuinely progressive taxation out of Obama. He’s never even proposed any of those things.
The simple fact is, most people who hate Obama are racist. My wife volunteered for Obama’s campaign. She made calls, answered the phones, canvassed door-to-door and she saw it. She saw just how much virulent racism there still is in this country and it sickened her. Now, I’m not saying that everyone who OPPOSES Obama is a racist, far from it, but I will say that most people who HATE him are racist, and that EVERY racist hates him.
So Clinton got a few BJ’s: big deal.

Hey Dutchman,
If you voted for Obama in ’08 to prove you aren’t a racist, you will have to vote for someone else in ’12 to prove you’re not an idiot.
When 97% of the “black community” voted for Obama, we found out who the racists are in this country.
“If you voted for Obama in ’08 to prove you aren’t a racist…”
Didn’t really need to do that. Back when he ran against Alan Keyes (and they were both black, so race wasn’t an issue) I voted for Obama. Keyes was all right on social issues, but I always vote the economy and in that department he’s a nut-case.
“…you will have to vote for someone else in ’12 to prove you’re not an idiot.”
I’ll admit that I’m dissappointed. I voted for an end to imperialism and for socialized medicine and got neither. Of course, McCain would have been worse on both counts, but I’m still not happy.
“When 97% of the “black community” voted for Obama, we found out who the racists are in this country.”
When Al Smith, the first Catholic candidate for president, ran in 1928 he carried a similar percentage of the Catholic vote. Did that prove that Catholics were religious bigots? Of course not! It just shows that the first time a member of any outsider group runs for national office they will poll exceptionally high with that group. Given that the black vote went for Kerry by an overwhelming 88%, a rise of only 9% represents a relatively small “bounce” due to the first time chance to vote for a black candidate.
