On the Townhall.com blog Musclehead Revolution, syndicated radio host Kevin McCullough posted a February 28 entry about Sen. Barack Obama's statement on "bring[ing] about real change for all LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual] Americans" under the headline "Obama: Hey Homos, I'm Your Dude!" Below the headline, McCullough posted part of a photograph of Obama posted on the Drudge Report, in which he is dressed in the traditional attire of a tribal elder when he was visiting Kenya in August 2006 and captioned it, " 'By the way, when we're done here, I'm going to repeal the Defense of Marriage.' " In his LGBT statement, Obama said, "I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) -- a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate."

Jerry] Falwell, by America's most prolific faith-based writers." According to a search of the Nexis database, McCullough has appeared on CNN as recently as September 2007. The biography page adds:
