In a May 12 post, right-wing blog RedState.com smeared Kevin Jennings as a “pedophile”, stating:

Theory 1. Obama isn't comfortable with gays.

I don't know. He has appointed a pedophile as Safe Schools Czar so it's hard to credit that he's uncomfortable around a run of the mill lesbian. On the other hand he has reneged on his pledge to abolish DADT in the military and the African American community, one of his core constituencies, is arguably one of the least gay-friendly demographics in the country. Maybe he's only comfortable with closeted gays. None of this explains why he'd nominate someone who is gay (and my working premise here, as with virtually any dealing with the White House, is that the White House is lying), deny she's gay, and then have a former sweetheart crash a White House party.

RedState linked to a Jim Hoft post on BigGovernment.com, the first of his many pointless “Fistgate” posts, which was quickly discredited by Media Matters last December. Even before that, Media Matters had exclusively debunked media conservatives' claims about the controversy these smears stemmed from.

Why a RedState blogger would, half a year after the smear has been debunked, casually smear Jennings as a pedophile is beyond me. RedState should correct this outrageous and completely false attack.
