New York Times columnist slams Medved - grossly distorting what he wrote!
Nov 18th 2008

On Sunday, November 16, New York Times columnist Frank Rich attempted to expose Republican bigotry by citing a comment by Michael Medved from 5 months ago:

There were as many Republican prejudices as candidates. In primary season, the whispered antipathy among some conservative evangelicals toward Mormons grew so loud that Mitt Romney felt compelled to give a speech defending his faith (but was so fearful of inciting further wrath tha... Read More On Sunday, November 16, New York Times columnist Frank Rich attempted to expose Republican bigotry by citing a comment by Michael Medved from 5 months ago:

There were as many Republican prejudices as candidates. In primary season, the whispered antipathy among some conservative evangelicals toward Mormons grew so loud that Mitt Romney felt compelled to give a speech defending his faith (but was so fearful of inciting further wrath that he said the word Mormon only once).
The conservative gatekeeper Michael Medved spotlighted another whisper campaign in May, writing that the popular moderate Florida G.O.P. governor Charlie Crist had been "single since his divorce in 1980 (after a marriage that lasted only a year)" and was the subject of "nasty rumors of possible gay activity."
Crist announced his engagement to a woman weeks later, but by then he was no longer a serious contender for the ticket.

The actual comments by Medved came in a long piece entitled, "The GOP Veep List: Pros and Cons," reviewing 13 potential running mates for McCain (including, by the way, Sarah Palin). Below, read Medved's actual published comments on Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

CHARLIE CRIST:

PRO: Likeable, telegenic and young enough (he turns 52 a few weeks before the GOP convention) to provide the ticket with a much-needed spark of youthfulness. His popularity in Florida would help put that key state safely in the Republican column. His Greek Cypriot background (the original family name was Christodoulou) and Pennsylvania birth might help him connect with ethnic, blue collar voters in key states. As Florida Attorney General and a member of the state senate he earned an admirable tough-on-crime reputation and the nickname "Chain Gang Charlie" for his advocacy of chain gangs for prison inmates.

CON: Crist might be a tough sell to Christian conservatives who will play an essential role in any McCain victory. He drew criticism for his lack of toughness in approaching the Terri Schiavo controversy when he was Attorney General. More importantly, he's been single since his divorce in 1980 (after a marriage that lasted only a year). He's been linked to various glamorous women, but also drawn nasty rumors of possible gay activity. In 2007, the press recycled old reports about a young woman who claimed that he had fathered her out-of-wedlock child in 1989. Such reports, of course, would receive lavish and detailed press coverage the moment Crist appeared on a ticket with a very real chance that stories about his dating life over the last 28 years would drown out serious discussion of his accomplishments.Collapse
