How is this Ann Arbor story for an ugly irony:
In classroom’s across the state, Attorney General Mike Cox uses videos to teach students the dangers of internet predators and cyber bullies.
. . . But is one of his top lieutenants engaging in cyber bullying, the very behavior Cox says is so dangerous. Andrew Shirvell is an assistant attorney general who helped run Cox’s last re-election campaign. But on his own time, he’s the author of a blog he started last spring targeting Chris Armstrong, the openly gay president of the University of Michigan’s student assembly.
Apparently in this blog, Shirvell has accused this young man of several things including the customary "pusher of the gay agenda" to the outrageous "being Satan's representative on the Student Assembly."

This is merely my opinion, but someone who creates an entire blog solely for the purpose of attacking one other person, and posts to it regularly (according to the article there have been four posts so far this month, which averages out to two per week) probably has mental problems. Even if there were some personal connection between Shirvell and Armstrong that's still putting an extraordinary amount of energy into hating someone.
What's perhaps most disturbing, though, are Shirvell's admissions that he has no evidence for any of his accusations against Armstrong. Going around accusing people without evidence is a really bad habit for an assistant attorney general to get into.
It always surprises me how big a deal gay student politicians are in the US, the student movement in Australia would collapse without gays and lesbians!
The last three national presidents of the National Union of Students were gay as are a significant number of campus presidents and NUS state presidents, to say nothing of other campus reps.
I can't imagine even the most homophobic politician here even bothering to bring it up.
