It turns out the REAL AARP AGENDA ad that USA Next made, inferring that the AARP hates the troops and loves gay marriage, used a photo from the Portland Tribune’s website. It was a photo of two gay men getting married, and they are not too happy about their image being used as a homophobic prop to undermine Social Security.
A kiss is just a . . . political stiletto: Wolf, who also represents former CIA agent Valerie Plame and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, delivered a letter Monday to Charles Jarvis, the chairman of USA Next, claiming the photograph of Raymen and Hansen was used without their permission.
‘In your hateful attempt to attack the AARP,’ Wolf wrote, ‘you have subjected our clients to nationwide ridicule and harassment, and have used a photo showing a celebration of their commitment to one another in a demeaning, mean-spirited way.’
Asked if his clients should have been a little more guarded about their privacy when they posed for the cameras last March, Wolf said, ‘There’s a big difference between allowing your photograph to be taken on your wedding day and having that photo perverted into a homophobic political weapon.’
