Senator Satveer Chaudhary Has Left the Closet: The Video
A recurring theme in Senator Satveer Chaudhary's final statements at candidate forums in this election has been that "District 50 needs a level-headed senator", presumably referring to himself.
In front of Irondale High School students last week, the level-headed lefty used the occasion to make what many would consider an insensitive joke about gay relationships in a flippant response when Republican challenger Rae Hart Anderson called him on the obvious inaccuracy of a statement he had made earlier about Governor Tim Pawlenty.

Senator Chaudhary's "Don't Ask, I'll Tell" comment was especially out of line given the venue. The forum was held at school during school hours to get students involved in the political process and inform them of the issues of the contests. Judging from the student audience response to the senator's smarmy comment any serious learning about the election and issues went right out the window via the closet.
It seems like the most important question of the forum was the one posed by Rae Anderson at the end of the video:
"Do you believe him?"
Make sure you communicate your answer loud and clear to Senator Chaudhary on election day.

Fine, take it out of context as usual, so I hear that Rea Anderson swings for the same team too. And if this were any all true I’d think that the local media stations would be all over this. Wake up….. and think, you schemer mongers.
Anonymous,
There is nothing out of context here. Senator Chaudhary made an insensitive joke about gay relationships. Democrats present themselves to be the "owners" of sensitivity and compassion. In his remarks, Chaudhary demonstrates that Democrats do best that which they claim others do.
I find it curious that you do not define truth by the evidence before you, but rather by what you see on the evening news.
By the way, I can assure you that no one associated with this blog schemed to get Senator Chaudhary to make his remarks. We give the Senator full credit for thinking this one up by himself.
Its is smarter to get a second opinion for a fact, rather than take ones comment as the truth or out of context and run with it. Better yet check your source; did you see a press release about that comment? Did you even call his office to get a rebuttal to the comment? Oh yea…. not out of context “Senator Satveer Chaudhary has left the closet” Read the title you monger.
Anonymous,
The debate is the context and the original post is a report of the events that occurred. Facts are not subject to opinion. That is why they are called facts. The senator said what he said and we offer direct evidence via YouTube. Opinion comes into play as to whether the Senator's remark was in poor taste and/or insensitive. Right Hook offered his opinion to which I concur. We invite you to conclude what you wish.
However, I'm beginning to think you are reading more into the headline and the post than what was written. Try reading the post again you, you, you anonymous you.
You guys are like a bad tabloid news paper, show boat anything bad and never check the real facts. You’re a sad republican and your group will lose this election year. Talk to you later G-spot
Facts are stubborn things. They don't change no matter how much one dislikes them or how hard one wishes.
I saw the video. I thought you would have commented about how Rea Anderson took a page from the Al Gore book of debating by walking up to Mr. Chaudhary and trying to "get in his face." It seems Mr. Chaudhary was just using humor: repartee, nonsensism, sarcasm, wit. I don't think we give kids enough credit. They understood it, and moved on. So should we.

You're over thinking this. The Algore incident did cross my mind, but RHA didn't sneak up behind him and invade his space like Algore did to Bush. In any case, it was irrelevant to my point.
Actually I did think it was kind of funny, but that wasn't the point here. The point was the double standard the lame stream media has for selective outrage for something conservatives say versus what a liberal can say (remember Trent Lott having to step down for an innocent comment he made trying to make a 100 year old feel good on his birthday? Contrast that with Robert KKK Byrd's "white ni@@er" comment on a Sunday talk show where the press deemed it as an "accidental misspeak").
From my original post (the one before I got the video posted):
"I was not offended by the Senator's performance (I fully endorse him leaving office and doing stand-up or anything else not involved with government), but I can't help but think that if the situation had been reversed, i.e. a conservative making a remark that could be construed as being disrespectful to the 'gay community' or to a DFL governor, there would be hell to pay."
That's all there was to it.
Thanks for watching, and remember Satveer when the Emmy nominamtions for short film come up.
