Manhunt Chairman Resigns Over McCain Contribution

Batman is not pleasedThere is a little bit of fine print in the Gay American Bylaws stating that donors to Republican candidates will be expelled immediately from one or both elite organizations. Thus Jonathan Crutchley, a McCain contributor and chairman of the gay pickup site Manhunt, had to resign his position on the board lest he be forcibly turned heterosexual and spend the rest of his life wearing ill-fitting shirts from LL Bean. Meanwhile, John McCain returned Crutchley’s donation in order to avoid the Gay Taint. [Towleroad/Boston Herald]

    But does he get to keep his Manhunt account? How else is he going to meet fellow Republicans?

    More dirty money from Big Homo.

    >>to avoid the Gay Taint

    I thought that his captors in the Hanoi Hilton already introduced him to the Gay Taint; it seems a bit late to try to avoid it now.

  4. HollowBrain says at 12:33 pm, August 19th, 2008

    That’s so….gay.

  5. loudmouthredhead says at 12:33 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Sara, you managed to use the words gay, position, taint, and McCain in the span of three sentences. Bravo!

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:33 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Homosexual money is not real money, but more like monopoly money. They get all the places on Boardwalk and Park Place.

  7. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:34 pm, August 19th, 2008

    …is the first documented case of a “Homosexual Card” revocation?

  8. WALNUTS: WE ARE ALL GAYTAINTS NOW.

  9. RuperttheBear says at 12:35 pm, August 19th, 2008

    I think it’s Spiderman who turns you gay, not The Batman, who just is gay.

  10. RuperttheBear says at 12:36 pm, August 19th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Gay Monopoly replaces Boardwalk with Fire Island.

  11. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 12:36 pm, August 19th, 2008

    WALNUTS! doesn’t know how to log on to his Manhunt account. Cindy or Meghan have to do it for him.

  12. pondscum says at 12:36 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Wonkette needs to add a “taint” tag…

  13. loudmouthredhead says at 12:38 pm, August 19th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: You forgot all the purdy colors. Plus, we all know what happens when you have to “go directly to jail”.

  14. Doglessliberal says at 12:39 pm, August 19th, 2008

    GayInMaine: Bathrooms.

    And if he goes to the reeducation camp that Ted Haggard did, won’t he be OK and all forgiven?

  15. loudmouthredhead says at 12:39 pm, August 19th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: That’s the whole board, dummy.

  16. RobPetrified says at 12:40 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Did the replblican party threaten to burn down his log cabin?

  17. mookworthjwilson says at 12:40 pm, August 19th, 2008

    On the Boston Herald page, Lindsay Graham looks awfully concerned that someone is going to find his Manhunt profile…

  18. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 12:42 pm, August 19th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: But Park Place clearly remains.

    And Free Parking!? Well damn, back it up!

  19. loudmouthredhead says at 12:43 pm, August 19th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: How does that happen I wonder….Does Carson from Queer Eye come and take all your fabulous away? Do music stores suddenly refuse to sell you Cher and Celine Dion? Do Broadway shows post pictures of you outside saying “Do not allow on the premises?”
    Oh, the humanity!

  20. RuperttheBear says at 12:43 pm, August 19th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: Except for the “Go to The Castro” square.

  21. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 12:44 pm, August 19th, 2008

    CNN is reporting, via their new hire, a 21-year old intern formerly with the Obama campaign, that Walnuts! only returned part of the donation.

    He used a little bit of it to send “candygrams” to Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ralph Gonzalez, Richard Curtis, Ted Haggard, Bob Allen, Glenn Murphy…you get the picture, don’t make me list them ALL!

    …in the hopes that SOMEBODY will come to the Republicrat convention besides Bush, Cheney and Juan.

    Cindy’s thinking she may be busy that week, too. Shareholder meetings at Budweiser and Pfizer.

  22. HollowBrain says at 12:44 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Maybe this Crutchley chap just donated to McCain’s campaign to scare off all the fundies. Maybe he’s like the first gay kamikaze campaign donator. Or something.

  23. Maybe Manhunt could just credit the GOP’s online account with $2300, then everyone would be happy. And “by everyone” I of course mean just Larry Craig… oh, and Mark Foley… and Bob Allen… and Glenn Murphy, Jr… and Ted Haggard… and Charlie Crist - OK everyone.

  24. RuperttheBear says at 12:44 pm, August 19th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: I think Park Place is just The Park. And The Park just has a toilet in it.

  25. loudmouthredhead says at 12:45 pm, August 19th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl, RuperttheBear, shortsshortsshorts: So, can you go both ways around the board?

  26. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 12:48 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Can we get Crutchley into captivity for study? Think that’s the first documented case of a gay man donating money to Walnuts!. Wonder if he donated to Larry Craig, too…

  27. loudmouthredhead says at 12:48 pm, August 19th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: I think there’s a lot of warehouses and steel mills in that version too. And if you put the batteries in, you get a constant dance beat:
    Mmp tss mmp tss mmp tss…

  28. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 12:49 pm, August 19th, 2008

    And of course, Scarab beat me to the joke, only a funnier version of it.

  29. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 12:49 pm, August 19th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: Actually, they come to your house and repossess all your leather gear and toys, wipe your hard drive of all your porn, and put an IP block on all the good websites.

  30. RuperttheBear says at 12:52 pm, August 19th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: I don’t think you “go around,” because the board has a top and a bottom.

  31. Should have donated a gift card for Truck Nutz instead.

  32. loudmouthredhead says at 12:53 pm, August 19th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: And then make you build your own log cabin by hand with “the others” out in the woods?

  33. friendlynerd says at 12:53 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Manhunt should just embrace the gay Republican brethren and give them their own section of the website.

    May I suggest widestance.manhunt.com?

  34. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 12:56 pm, August 19th, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: Think of it as a modern leper colony.

    OMG Y.M.C.A. just came on my iTunes shuffle.

  35. RuperttheBear says at 12:58 pm, August 19th, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Wow. Read that last line again.

  36. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:01 pm, August 19th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: OMG eww

  37. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:07 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tried to help out but they were all raped by WALNUTS’ subordinates before they got through the door. Walnuts was forced to turn them away.

  38. InsidiousTuna says at 1:08 pm, August 19th, 2008
  39. Homopogrom.

  40. wheelie says at 1:23 pm, August 19th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: This works out well for the Gay Agenda. Crutchley gets his card withdrawn, which makes room for Heath Ledger to be given the posthumous life membership.

  41. freakishlystrong says at 1:24 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Gay Batman is hawt…

  42. JSDC007 says at 1:38 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Manhunt has a “Board?”

    What do you think they discuss at their Annual Meetings?

  43. wheelie says at 1:42 pm, August 19th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: Male Olympic weightlifters should all be obliged to wear sexy Batman costumes during their events.

  44. friendlynerd says at 1:55 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Is there a gigantic boner in Batman’s pants or am I just seeing what I want to see?

  45. loudmouthredhead: Whole new meaning to the phrase “blackballed”.

  46. Grimnir says at 2:11 pm, August 19th, 2008

    HollowBrain: Will the country celebrate a “Gay Kamikaze Campaign Donor Appreciation Day” in the coming Hopeacolypse?

  47. Great, now who’s he gonna pay to treat him like subhuman garbage while they happily take his money? That kind of pain and humiliation costs way more than $2,300. Republicans are way cheaper than the bondage/domination set.

  48. I think that’s “Mancunt,” you trollops.

  49. etchasketch says at 5:27 pm, August 19th, 2008

    Understandable. Gay taint is an acquired taste.

  50. Well there’s McCain’s Veep for you. Why else would Crotchley (you know he’d rather it be spelled that way) step down from his um… position. He has the economic gravitas of running a successful company. He can court the female vote with his insightful fashion tips… as long as he doesn’t get too catty. And he complements McCain’s military credentials - Crutchley can clean a man’s gun with his eyes closed and both he and naval retiree Mccain are no strangers to seamen.

    Going Beyond canceling a Manhunt account:

    While stopping your membership with Manhunt is a personal choice.

    I don’t have a Manhunt account, so how do I
    send a message to Manhunt of my dislike?

    I will be taking a page from other boycotts.

    I will be boycotting any gay events or media that take sponsor money or ad money from Manhunt.

    If you see a Manhunt logo at gay events as a sponsor: on palm cards, at dance events, nightclubs, your local gay paper or a banner ad for Manhunt on a gay website. Send a letter telling the event or sponsor you don’t wish to support them for supporting Manhunt.

    Do not give your dollars to companies that help continue to promote Manhunt at gay events.

    This sends a stronger message to companies that do business with Manhunt that they are accountable too for Manhunt’s misdeeds.
