ABOVE: State Rep. Sally Kern (R – OK)
Shorter Sally Kern, Americans for Troof Against Fagosexuality:
Interview with Peter “I Was Just Researching Leather Daddies When I Found A Dick In My Mouth” LaBarbera*
- The gays have killed way more people than all Mooslim tehrists combined, and they will kill even more because they are making your three-year-olds gay.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Not jumping off the boat.
Not to worry SL, I’m on mango retrieval duty.
Not much to retrieve, this pretty much sums it up,
Pop culture treats these – these – these people – like, like they’re people! Or something!
Anyone who titles their own book “The Stoning of [Author Name]” and isn’t, say, a woman from Iran who was LITERALLY STONED, needs very urgently to fuck off.
Yesiree, you could just SMELL the moral virtue pouring out of that linked essay. Oh, how I wish I were as moral and virtuous as that fucking pig.
That or Tommy Chong.
Kerners are go!

Pretty fucking stunning from a legislator in Oklahoma. Fine, we’ll move all of the gay folks out but you have to take one McVeigh wannabe in exchange.
Also gotta love her neat little rhetorical half-gainer in which gay people are directly responsible for every single AIDS-related death. Like we slaved away in our special HomoAgendaLab night and day to create HIV.
But really, I like it when homophobes pull out all of the stops. It makes it even harder for the so-called “reasonable” bigots to claim they don’t hate gays. (And of course, I don’t recommend holding your breath until any other Republican denounces this unhinged piece of shit.)
(That’s one McVeigh wannabe per Gay Oklahoman Refugee, although one for the entire lot would be more than enough.)
Well, Rep. Sally Kern knows there ain’t no homo fags in Oklahoma, just men who like to fuck each other in the privacy of public bathroom stalls before they go to church with their wives. That ain’t gay, nosiree Bob. It ain’t like they’re prancing down Main Street in Tulsa, flaunting their fagness in gold lamè speedos and pink feather boas! God forgives a couple of good old boys buttfucking as long as they vote Republican and have been saved by Jesus.
I suppose it’s possible that at some point during the last thirty years, some straight kid decided to experiment with homosexuality, contracted HIV and died. I mean, it’s possible in the same way that at some point during the last thirtyyears it’s possible that there was the birth of a mutant, winged pig.
The logical, reasoning part of me is forced to point out that the worst rates of HIV infection and AIDS deaths came long before societal and media acceptance of gay people, and so might not actually be correlated as she claims, but I know logic and reasoning have no place in this discussion. Instead, I will stick with flying pigs.
that young people are “bombarded” with the message that “homosexuality is normal and natural.”
Suicide bombarders? Seriously, how many buildings have gay folks blown up or crashed planes into? No hurry, Sally, I’ll wait.
LaBarbera
Sounds sort of girly.
LET’S GO, TITANS!
.
We like to ridicule Texas, but really, folks, Oklahoma is a lot more dumbfuck stupid.
Love this: We were founded as a nation upon the principles of religion and morality, if we take those out from under our society we will lose what has made us a great nation, we will no longer be a virtuous people,
Translation: the morality of our religion says you have to stick the peepee in the pink hole, not the brown one. Sticking the peepee in the brown hole will destroy the nation.
You have to wonder if these folks ever really think about how stupid the shit they say is.
Translation: the morality of our religion says you have to stick the peepee in the pink hole, not the brown one. Sticking the peepee in the brown hole will destroy the nation.
It’s all pink on the inside.
.
Guys, schizophrenics with head injuries are no laughing matter.
the morality of our religion says you have to stick the peepee in the pink hole, not the brown one. Sticking the peepee in the brown hole will destroy the nation.
It’s the third amendment in the Bill of Wrongs.
Well crap. I don’t want to lose all that moral fiber we built up in Iraq and Afghanistan. What do we do?
I get my daily dose of moral fiber from eating virgin Metamucil.
HA! That’s funny.
Sooooo Peyton Manning got a cadaver bone fused into his neck. What if that bone came from a seriously unathletic guy? It could destroy his game.
Moral fiber makes you regular.
From the same site, Pat Robertson:
Being around homosexuals doesn’t turn you into a gay, any more than being around Oklahoma dumb-fuck bigots turns you into an Oklahoma dumb-fuck bigot.
All I know is that the Titans D will enjoy turf-planting Kerry Collins repeatedly this season.
.
Actually moral fiber makes you liberal.

Cliff Robertson is dead.
Shame! Come back, Shame!
Guys, schizophrenics with head injuries are no laughing matter.
Speaking as one, agreed. But I’m not sure how that’s relevant when we’re just talking about a stupid bigot. Ignorance and hate are not mental illnesses.
I would argue that obssessive hate is, in fact a mental illness. The only reason it’s not in the DSM is because it’s fairly common and gets a free pass being called ignorance.
There are several types of schizophrenia. These people have a very real fear that homosexuals are increasing their numbers like some kind of zombie apocalypse.
Racism and bigotry have NOTHING whatsoever to do with ignorance. Their either mentally ill or just plain bad, disgusting shitty people.
OMG. PLEASE ignore the grammerfail.
dumbfuck stupid knows no borders, sadly. Else we could just put ’em in one place and let them beat each other to death and leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
Lotsa dumbfuck stupid living right in the middle of New York City too. You can’t get away from them. Tempting, the dark side is.
SOMEBODY is a little to fixated on Chaz.
Just sayin’
Actually moral fiber makes you liberal.
A regular liberal. The best kind ever!
FUCK WHAT THE HELL IS MY PROBLEM TODAY?
Ok I, shutup know. sinse I cant spell nuthing
There’s a Kern on the Cob joke in here somewheres, but I can’t dig it out.
Fxd.
Seriously. I sometimes think of where’d we be in terms of research and treatment if Rock Hudson hadn’t died (‘cos God forbid a President give a shit unless he is directly impacted) or – as some people STILL like to claim – HIV really did only infect gay men. And then I shudder for like, two hours.
Fxd. Also. Too.
I love how these cretins keep pounding away (hur) at the whole non-penis/vagina sex thing, like every single straight person on the planet is scared stiff (hur hur) by the idea.
Fxd, complete with grammatical clean-up.
I hate to see bigotry lumped in as a mental illness. That would mean the asshole screaming about what kw33rs are doing to our soil* needs our sympathy and help, rather than a punch in the nose.
Also, having known a few schizophrenics I’ve never encountered one, even with paranoid schizophrenia, who could a) Successfully run for office and b) Had such a boring conspiracy theory. Generally, they’re a fuck of a lot nicer than shitheads like Kern and Porno Pete LaBarbarella.
*OK, that was an awesome song, but if he were real, you’d want to hit him.
tsam:
But I don’t WANNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAA have anything in common with people like these.
Don’t mind me, I’m having one of those days where I woke up as a bratty toddler, apparently. Grammarfail cheerfully ignored, point you’re making would be accepted as well made and perceptive except that, again, feeling whiny.
Ok, fair enough.
The first comment was just meant to be funny.
And you and Arky are right, this isn’t schizophrenia.
As long as we can agree that we won’t ever call racism/bigotry ignorance, but a deliberate choice to be a worthless, shit person, then we’re all good.
Hot sweaty buttsex – NEVAR REGRET.
You best betrolling, wingnut!
Jeeze Louise, really brings on the ol’ eye cramps some, that does. It makes the nation sound like a bagged-out old Plymouth up on blocks … a nation whose status, wealth & power would be promptly crippled by “virtue,” were “virtue” to somehow obtain & use the chloroform & handcuffs necessary to overpower its collective id.
Also too additionally as well, the immorality of cultural chauvinism notwithstanding, isn’t this whole jeremiad of “without this one particular set of externally imposed rules (among scores of similar rule-sets that all function about as well as its users let them), we’re doomed to become just a pack of lurching Troglodytes” shit both insulting & more than a bit on the anti-social side? As a rejoinder, “Buy a seat on the Clue-Bus & lighten the fuck up, Francis” springs to mind.
It’s the third amendment in the Bill of Wrongs.
……. wins this!
Arky: I dunno. I tend to agree with you, I dunno how much of that is me being repulsed by these people and wanting nothing in common with them. Which is not to say that there are not schizophrenics who are genuinely horrible people, even among those who don’t, you know, kill people.
But while I also can admit that obsessive bigotry and obsessive hate probably are mental illnesses (though not necessarily schizophrenia) I also have to wonder how useful it is to label them as such, because I can’t imagine A) any useful treatment for it B) that hateful bigots would accept treatment or even accept that they actually have a problem as opposed to just being smarter than the rest of us dupes C) a society where Sally Kern is considered so mentally ill she must be treated for her intolerance.
I mean, the people who are martyring themselves publicly over the notion that it’s religious persecution when their kids aren’t allowed to bully the queers into suicide is not going to ever accept that obsessive racism is unacceptable, let alone obsessive homophobia. Because as far as I can tell, society is still in the majority of the opinion that at least regarding queers as somehow abnormal is perfectly reasonable.
And as a schizophrenic who has spent years now walking an extremely fine line on consenting to treatment that does me as much harm as it does good vs making other people deal with the consequences of my not accepting that treatment, I really *don’t* want to live in a society where involuntary treatment is considered reasonable for a range of things that might be extended to include, say, my implacable disgust of and refusal to compromise with republicans.
So for about a million reasons, it makes me a lot happier to just believe that hateful bigots are fuckwits whose problems are personality issues rather than something I have to feel any empathy for them over.
tsam: Sadly, I was trying to be funny, too. I think the whole head injury thing (well, the migraine I have that has resulted from it) has recalibrated my view of funny, and not in a good way.
I am entirely content to agree that they are making a choice to be worthless pieces of shit, and to second the wanting to punch them in the nose reaction.
tsam: Sadly, I was trying to be funny, too. I think the whole head injury thing (well, the migraine I have that has resulted from it) has recalibrated my view of funny, and not in a good way.
I know you were. I do agree that it’s a bit of an insult to people with true mental illness to call people like Kern insane.
Thinking more about it, I have to say that if we labeled everyone who believed in weird shit that isn’t true, we’d have to lock up all the jews, christians and muslims in the world, along with all the people talking about ghosts and flying saucers on TV….
The whole gay-fear thing is one of those “future historians” moments. Like, hundreds of years from now, the textbooks are going to read “In America’s declining years, it was rife with internal conflict over the idea of homosexuality, because a bunch of backwoods morons were completely fucking mortified by the idea of two men having sex with each other. Seriously! For like 50 years, it was a huge deal! Whatta buncha morans, amirite?”
Here’s my take (and sorry to get all serious and shit earlier):
Kern and the rest of the crew are a bunch of chickenshit bullies. It isn’t enough for them to hate and pick on a supposedly defenseless target. They have to have a fuckton of back up when they do it.
And by fuckton, I mean the entire population minus the target of their hate.
And by back up, I mean they’ll stand at the back of the mob.
However, based on polling any way, fewer and fewer people can be bothered to give a fuck. Hence the increasingly loud and illogical yapping such as is showcased above. They’re trying desperately to find some combination of words that will get everyone back on their side.
I could well be some people who are for equal marriage are really AGAINST the bigots. I don’t know or care.
Of course, the screaming about gays aborting the brains of fetuses while spreading disease just turns off more people, so I suspect that before long we’ll be hearing that the presence of one gay person in a city raises the cancer rate by 50%.
Robertson: Ladies and gentlemen I don’t want to get weird on this so please take it for what it’s worth. But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America’s power, it has been the symbol of our great nation, we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God. Now there’s a crack in it, there’s a crack in it and it’s closed up. Is that a sign from the Lord? Is that something that has significance or is it just result of an earthquake? You judge, but I just want to bring that to your attention. It seems to me symbolic. When Jesus was crucified and when he died the curtain in the Temple was rent from top to bottom and there was a tear and it was extremely symbolic, is this symbolic? You judge.
Also broked: National Cathedral. Maybe God really does want church/state separation? Or hates Christians? Epicenter of earthquake: Cantor’s district. Maybe He hates asshole obstructionist Republicans, too! You judge.
Hot sweaty buttsex – NEVAR REGRET.
HEY, THOSE AREN’T TOWERS!
Sooooo Peyton Manning got a cadaver bone fused into his neck
I first read this (with the sadly no visual filter) as “cadaver boner“. It elicited some odd mental images.
re: mental illness – my take on mentally ill people is that they are basically the same mix of good and bad as the “normal” population, but with the additional challenge of mental illness. I see a person like Sally Kern, who I would term a very bad person, and also see her as someone, along with the rest of the right-wing, who is deliberately ignoring reality and trying her damndest to create her own.
Ignoring reality steadfastly in favor of one’s own twisted reality seems that it could be called mental illness. Does this seem reasonable? or do those of you (such as d. sidhe) who have a real illness like schizophrenia ( and whom I regard as a good person), still prefer to just term her evil, instead of evil and insane?
gay people are directly responsible for every single AIDS-related death
I’m glad Kern cleared this up for me. I was thinking it was fucksticks like her and other Republicans intent on cutting funding for AIDS research.
NB: “LaBarbera – Sounds sort of girly.”
LaBarbera is French for “the hairdresser”
girly indeed…
The gays have killed way more people than all Mooslim tehrists combined
Actually, the top body count, as well as terrorist acts, belongs to radical white, rightwing, Christian American conservatives, but why quibble?
Haven’t more people been killed by the flu than by AIDS? What about the people who spread flu? I HATE all those infants and old people! Or is flu-spreading ok because it doesn’t involve S-E-X? Also, does this fuckface know that straight people have AIDS? Granted I’m sure it kills more gay people than straight, which leads me ask this,,, Why the fuck does she care about AIDS, since it’s killing the terrorists anyway?
Once you realize there has to be an apocalypse in order to reach Heaven…
Haven’t more people been killed by the flu than by AIDS?
By an unfathomable margin. The Spanish Flu alone killed about 21 million worldwide in 1918.
Granted I’m sure it kills more gay people than straight, which leads me ask this,,,
Not anymore. Heterosexual women have been and I believe still are the fastest growing and largest group. If you add up heterosexual contractions, IV drug infections and all other categories, they far outpace male to male contact.
Why the fuck does she care about AIDS, since it’s killing the terrorists anyway?
That’s a good question. All I can come up with is that she’s fucking insufferable asshole who should DIAF.
Who the fuck is stupid enough to want to belong to a religion that believes which hole you stick the peepee in is the most important thing, anyway?
Seriously? A god that’s more obsessed with where you put your dick than anything else is not a god…he’s a fucking pervert.
So there you have it: these ripe fucks worship a pervert. Finally, it makes sense.
Oh lookee. This is at least the second time Kern has flung this particularly rancid turd. The first recorded instance was in 2008, which prompted a response from the son of a woman killed in OKC.
Out of the mouths of babes.
mingo: I like “evil”, but I’ve talked before about my reactions to mass killers who turn out to be schizophrenic. Those are not my most mature moments ever, I have to admit, but I’d rather not dwell on that.
It’s not that different from the way I feel when someone points out that some utter fucking asshole is gay, or liberal, or from my town, or likes my favorite band, or whatever, but there’s the added complication that possibly the thing we have in common is a causal factor in why they did the horrible thing that makes me want to distance myself from them.
So, yeah, it’s just me wanting to call them defective in a way that doesn’t mean I have to believe *I* am defective. But tsam is right, there are people who you can talk to them a while and know that their racism or their misogyny or their homophobia actually is pretty good evidence that they are mentally ill in some way, and that probably at a minimum therapy might change the way they act towards others.
But I have to think we all have that immediate nothing-like-me reaction when we see people behaving in ways that repulse us (and to be perfectly fair I suspect that Kern and LaBarbera could justify their reactions to gays in the same way if they thought about it) so your reaction to that kind of instinct is probably different than mine (“feel persecuted by the comparison, then realize that’s what I’m doing and try to kick myself in the ass for acting like it’s ALL ABOUT ME, not always fast enough to stop me being a dolt in public”) is certainly just as relevant and probably more instructive.
The thing about bigotry is, and I think this is parallel, we all have things that for whatever reason just physically make us sort of cringe as an instinct. The squick reaction, if you want to call it that. It’s maybe a conditioned response, it’s maybe just a personality tic, whatever. But it’s not uncommon for people who, say, are straight, to react to the thought of gay sex with a spontaneous “yikes”. If you can recognize that, and accept that other people don’t have that same instinct, and that your instinct is in itself no more morally compelling than anyone else’s instinct on the subject and therefore doesn’t have to determine how other people live, that’s tolerance winning over bigotry. If you can actually get to accept that that reaction doesn’t have to determine how *you* live, then you’re overcoming some of humanity’s worst instincts, and you are absolutely ahead of the game.
I am not yet ahead of the game, and it’s also possible that my thoughts on the subject represent no more than an elaborate justification for me not bothering to try harder to curb my “OMG, there’s a strange MAN at my door, what does he WANT?” reaction I always get. (The fact that I think it’s relevant that I mostly react that way to white men because that’s where my PTSD came from, leads me to conclude that this is the case, and I’m just trying to pretend I’m not a bigot because my bigotries seem reasonable to me.)
But I have to think we all have that immediate nothing-like-me reaction when we see people behaving in ways that repulse us
Geez, man. I’m a straight, white, middle aged male. I understand that your situation is different, but I get everything from racist rants, comedians like Jeff Dunham, the whole redneck “thing”, Ben Roethlisberger, John Wayne Gacy, Rick Santorum, the Bush family, Manifest Destiny…need I go on?
D. Sidhe, I enjoy not thinking about certain stuff too much and you JUST FUCKED THAT ALL UP!
That was a very thoughtful treatise, and it made me think about my impulse to write people off at the first indication of disagreeable behavior. Thank you.
I just don’t get it.
Nothing against gays, but I just don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about you guys. You’re not on my radar screen most of the time.
These people are more obsessed with gay sex than most gay people I’ve met.
Rarely is the question asked:
“When hurricane Irene hit South Carolina, was God punishing Republicans and anti-gay bigots?”
For DSM-V:
Deliberate Reality-Ignoring Pathology (DRIP)
Self-Aggrandizing Public Hate-Speech Disorder (SPHD)
Imagined Scarcity Competition Psychopathology (ISCP)
Willful Ignorance Disorder (WID)
“You’ll have to excuse Rep. Kern. She was just diagnosed with WID.”
“Oh, a WIDdie, eh? That’s too bad. Is she on meds?”
“Not yet. First they have to declare her incompetent to hold office and send her to a treatment facility.”
“Oh, that’s such a shame.”
“Yes. Yes it is.”
“But better that than to leave her in a position where she could do harm to others.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
“Well, I’ll be praying for her.”
“Yes, me too.”
“When hurricane Irene hit South Carolina, was God punishing Republicans and anti-gay bigots?”
Yeah, I’m always tempted to go there, but that would make me a disingenuous fucking asshole. It’s funny to think of how flustered they would get at the suggestion, though.
LC:
Reaching back a long way, but this:
Must yield the obvious answer which is that gays are one of the population most critical in slowing new infection rates of AIDS, by making it their 30 year mission to promote safe sex, easy condom access, and comprehensive sex education, especially among their own, to try and make it so no one, gay or straight.would ever have to suffer what the gay male community suffered through in the 1980s.
And it’s largely worked. New infections in the LGBT community is way down and pretty much the few groups that aren’t are a couple of straight communities. Why? Because there is still strong religious pressure to label AIDS a “gay disease”, downplay or attack the effectiveness of safe sex and condoms, and argue instead for abstinence which promotes not actually preparing for potential sexual encounter lest you be considered a “chunky Reese Witherspoon”.
So, yeah, repression, homophobia, and “good Christian values” nearly made us another Africa, but fags and dykes tried to save us all and for the most part succeeded.
Reaching back to tsam’s unrelated Pat Robertson mango:
There’s a crack on our national PENIS*!
*VBSR
There is nothing unrelated or irrelevant about PENIS.
Now for mango hunting, splash, ooh, hey, second-hand safe harbor, that’s a nice change, what’s the import like:
Hello, book title mango. I know this was briefly touched on, but really, this is just precious. She called gay people worse than terrorism in 2008 in an attempt to promote hate crimes against gay people and block any meaningful legislation from affecting gay people targeted by hate crimes and otherwise strip the very limited protections out gay people have in the state of Oklahoma (it’s pretty much all OKC specific).
Her “stoning” was that she looked like an idiot to everyone who wasn’t a backwoods fuckstick and she had to deal with people using their free speech to note she was a vile moron. Especially once she started doubling down.
Well, that and having the “indignity” of having to run against the FUCKING AWESOME transwoman and attorney Brittany Novotny who tried to run against her seat.
Yeah, you heard me right. An open transwoman ran against Sally Kern in the most backwards right-wing fuckhole of one of our most famously vile states in the nation.
Now, that takes gonads the size of trucks. Shockingly she was called a “confused it” and various other slurs the entire campaign by Sally Kern on down, cause, you know this is Bumfuck, OK.
But yeah, it always amazing how all these bullies go “they, they, responded to me, using their free speech and everything, this is like the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone ever. Why, I’ll even have to borrow the language of actual injustice and oppression in order to demonstrate how horrible it truly is.”
It makes you wonder if they ever look at one of the many dead their viewpoint creates while whining about how they are the real oppressed and a tiny flicker of shame begins to burn which they then beat to death with wrenches before trying to steal its ADAM.
Yes, that’s right, these people are splicers.
Ah, the original “It’s UNFAIR to quote my words verbatim back at me” girl. How proud she must be to see her works hit the national stage in a big way with the current crop of Republican candidates.
Sniff, they grow up so fast.
Oh, no, no, you really don’t want to do that.
See, everyone has agreed to treat Islamic Terrorism as some big existential street despite it only having one real big success in America that was only really able to work because of an outdated way of handling hijack scenarios on planes and a complete ball drop on the part of the Bush Administration and killing less people than cars do in a year.
We do this, because we don’t really have a good grasp on numbers and are willing to acknowledge that the terror and fear created by such a dramatic and visually shocking style of attack, as well as the sorrow for those who died make a stronger impact than other types of death that are less media hyped.
But see, it ruins that whole illusion when you start actually trying to compare the numbers to anything else, because frankly, Al-Queda has always been penny ante and small. The real impact has always been how it made us lose our shit and embrace our darkest selves for years.
The 9/11 attacks killed about 3,000, less than half of the American casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan killed by our desperate war of choice, and many times less than the number of innocent Iraqis or Afghanis we’ve killed in misplaced blood lust. It’s way less than the death toll by homegrown right wing terrorists and way less than the various numbers of people killed simply by inadequate safety policies.
Not to mention dwarfed in obscene ways by the victims of Republican social policy. All those who have died of lack of medical insurance, starvation, malnutrition, on benches as homeless, as the battered women who couldn’t make it to a shelter 100 miles away, all those killed by septic pregnancies because they couldn’t get legal medical procedures to save them from their already dead fetus, and the people who died invisibly because of “tough on X” policies towards the poor, the drug-using, or the gay.
Or even those, as acknowledged, killed by AIDS because as long as it was “the Gay Disease that sometimes took out black people as well”, well, then, who fucking cared, right?
Yeah, you don’t want to pop that illusion or we might actually look back and go:
“Yeah, you’re absolutely right, we have been way overreacting over a bunch of nothing, let’s actually address what’s killing us in this country.”
Which I guarantee wouldn’t go well for you or the rest of the human ghouls that make up the Republican Party.
And sorry about the length…but not the girth. I don’t apologize for that part.
Better alert Rick Perry. He hates cancer.
Better alert Rick Perry. He hates cancer.
Loves freedom? Hates cancer? I know who I’ve voting for!
Ho. ly. SHIT.
I swear I got fucking stupid overnight.
Oi, the Brent Bozell link…
Uh, I’m trying to go mango hunting in it, but it’s just so textbook. Blah blah blah, “confused”*, blah blah blah, using the real gender in scarequotes, blah blah blah, “actually a X” where X is their birth gender, blah blah blah,
“transgender propaganda movement” and so on. It’s just the usual “who do transgender people think they’re kidding, being human beings and all” shit. It’s just sad that this is the regular horseshit we have to put up with every time a transperson dares to show up in popular mediums. Or really in public.
Yes, we get it, you think biological sex is a nifty weapon to use against transpeople because it is such a point of trauma for many transpeople. Well, done, you get a bully cookie, now fuck off.
Though this mango is good:
Huh? Really? Cause it seems to me that whenever a gay issue comes up, usually because the homophobes are trying to once again make life worse for LGBT people, the national media always must convene a “dialogue” between some well meaning gay advocate trying to do basic level education and some member of a SPLC-certified hate group (AFA is one of the more popular) who basically just yells over everything and tries to run out the clock.
But sure, Brent, AFA is completely shut out of the debate. Right.
What makes that worse is that AFA should be shut out of the debate and treated as immaterial. They are an official hate group. Would you give the Klan equal air time on black or catholic issues or the Neo-Nazis on jewish issues? Would you consult them at all other than to note that the usual parties object to whatever the X is?
Hell fucking no.
Also maybe this though it’s rote as hell:
Well yes, Q can stand for queer or questioning, this isn’t new. Hell, if you wanted new, you could mock QUILTBAG which is starting to get used in underground gay circles (where they make underground gay tote bags), which is an expanded letter arrangement to try and include everyone that’s covered in the big Pride family.
But going to the main point. Why? Why exactly does he “remain a woman”? Because you say so? I mean, his legal sex is male, he looks like a male. He might still have a vagina, but that’s only because current bottom surgery for transmen kind of sucks and it looks better to just start by packing and use a strap-on for sex. So is it just standing up for birth sex in a “God doesn’t make mistakes” sort of way? Well, then whoops, God did.
This is why I say its rote, because its just trying to hit below the belt because that’s the part that will cause your intended victims the most pain. There really is no real barometer for “real” X and if there was, I’d welcome them to meet their first intersex person and see their head explode as they try and divine what the “real” sex is supposed to be in their binary little world.
*Yeah, I’m going right out and saying Ronnie James Dio is the only person allowed to use “confused” to describe a transgender person. As he said on the song “the word confused has been abused” and that was in 198fucking3.
Oh missed this Bozell mango:
Okay, who else wants to help me wrangle together 100 intersex people to crash either his house or his next speaking engagement wearing only their birthday suits?
Yes, silly, old-fashioned you stuck on “made as males or females” when that’s not how it fucking occurs in “God’s Green Earth”.
But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America’s power, it has been the symbol of our great nation, we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God. Now there’s a crack in it,
Well, actually, according to the statement of the Washington National Monument Society, who started the effort to build the monument, it was meant specifically to honor George Washington, and:
It was a virtual symbol of federalism, since it was comprised of stone brought from each state. construction was started in 1848, but in 1854, the contemporary equivalent of the Tea Party – the Know Nothing Party – objected to the fact that the Pope had donated a stone to it, stole the donated stone and then, according to wikipedia:
Construction didn’t resume until 1879, and the monument opened to the public in 1888.
So, really, Reverend Robertston, the Washington Monument is a symbol of the folly of bigoted, ignorant xenophobic partisan idiots like the Tea Party.
I think we should give ABC some kudos for not backing down or offering up phony fucking compromises or concessions (regardless of their motives). Let us hope this is the highest rated season ever.
ABC and the rest of the media universe can do all the pretending they want, but that’s not going to make Bono a real male
I TOTALLY give a shit, too.
It’s rare because Hurricane Irene didn’t hit South Carolina.
Yeah, but the drought and fires in Texas are God’s way of saying “Fuck you” to Texas for electing such ignorant, bigoted, mean spirited assholes.
On reflection, Texas is God’s way of saying “Fuck you” to Texans.
“The Stoning of Sally Kern”
So THAT explains it.
“So, really, Reverend Robertston, the Washington Monument is a symbol of the folly of bigoted, ignorant xenophobic partisan idiots like the Tea Party.”
That is awesome. But, the Monument looks like a huge erect PENIS so it could also b be a memorial to all those gay men and straight women who have lost that one PENIS that pleased then but ultimately broke their heart
Lots of errors but I’m on my phone and WP can suck it.
You’re not actually cheering the Texas drought, are you? Because it sure sounds that way.
Concern troll is concerned. I am certain you were just as concerned when Pat Robertson and other Talibangeligal leaders have said similar things about disasters in places like New York City (including 9/11).

Exactly, as that is my primary point of reference here, though there have been others since. I will start being civil toward these fuckwits when they publicly repudiate those two and then stone Robertson in the public square.
Someone is unaware that we’re snarking on the right-wing tendency to blame every single natural disaster on (insert name of hated minority here) while ignoring the ironies of said worldview (like say the liberal areas of disaster zones getting off easier in destruction than local churches, see also “God hates the gay adjacent” episode of The Daily Show).
See, the thing is liberals don’t actually think that God (if they even believe in it) is such a narcissistic and small minded fuck that it’d spend it’s time micromanaging natural disasters in sloppy but petty ways that happen to coincide with our objects of hate.
That’s entirely a right-wing thing.
So when bad things happen to the “heartland” after having every Rapturists with a microphone gleefully masturbating to ever earthquake, fire, power outage, etc that happens in “liberal mecca” cities, well, yeah, they deserve a little snark on the score of “so, does this mean God hates you” level.
Because it outlines the hypocrises of disingenuous fucks like you.
Is there some sort of anniversary going on? I feel like I might have forgotten something. And I shouldn’t have.
Thank Dog there is foodbawl.
Dr D: I’m still seething about this. Scumbags.
The most I seethed about it was a year ago, when conservatives suddenly started concern-trolling that “ZOMG, Ground Zero Mosque = disrespectful and mean to poor victims’ families!” Yeah, cause you really give a shit about the New Yorkers and Washingtonians’ feelings on the actual week of the attack, didn’t you? You can tell from the way your “moral majority”‘s head honchos were gloating at God’s striking of feminist/gay Sodom and Gomorrah.
A colleague at my new job was telling me about how she got stuck for a year in Boulder, Colo., AKA the most fucked-up redneck armpit of the USA, to hear her tell it.
Boulder is not far from Laramie, Wyo., where Matthew Shepard was killed, and Shepard was in fact taken to a hospital in Boulder, where he died. While he lay dying in front of his grieving parents, the local chapter of Fuckheads for Jesus picketed his hospital–and they got a permit from the city to do it!
Oh, it sounds like a lovely place. There was the time she took a colleague from Venezuela to dinner at the nicest restaurant in town, and when the man asked for water, the waiter turned away and brayed, “Hey, the beaner wants some water!”
That asinine woman can whine all she wants about “stoning.” As far as I can tell, all the violence is flowing one way.
Whoops whoops whoops. I meant Ft. Collins above, not Boulder. Appy poly logies.
The opening of Sally Kern… I mean, Misty Beethoven!
That’s why I’m baffled as to why you want to compete with him.
Get a fucking clue already. We (if I may presume) don’t mean it. Joke, snark, satire, lampoon, parody, irony, even, yada yada yada. Look those words up, & make an effort to comprehend them, pinhead.
Concern!
I wonder, is deliberate ignorance and inventing false equivalence really that emotionally satisfying.
I mean, I’m not doubting that it’s nearly automatic and probably a necessary step in order to avoid the cognitive dissonance between your actions/actual beliefs and one’s image of one’s self.
But I wonder if it actually provides any relief. I would imagine it would just leave one with an ache that one couldn’t find release for. A haunting suspicion of that which one denies the most, leading one to go for larger and large false equivalences in order to justify that which went before.
But then, maybe I’m wrong and it works like magic, but boy howdy it sure never looks like it from the outside.
You know what else is more dangerous than terrorists? Cigarettes, that’s what. Here, have a carton, Sally.
Never heard the “Oh, we don’t really mean it” one.
And you are frequenting one of the most notorious snark sites in the known universe? I would say get a fucking clue, but I think you need to get a sense of humor first. It was fucking satire, asshat.
Dennis:
Well if we are to believe your persona.
You apparently lack such reading abilities that a snarky reversal of a well-trod cliche used by powerful members of the religious right by a bunch of left-leaning commentators at a comedy blog is apparently the same thing.
Hmm, let’s see, the commentators are a) powerless, b) repeating an already well-worn cliche of the otherside, demonstrating that when bad things happen to them its “god’s will” rather than “god’s judgment”, c) powerless, d) on a comedy blog, and e) jesus fucking christ, what were you raised in a vacuum that you seriously can’t tell the difference between bitter sarcasm and the well-worm repetition of stereotypes or bully techniques as “humor”.
I mean, for fuck’s sake. The reason that “I was only kidding” isn’t a defense for that shit is because there is no real joke or point to be made. The “jokes” only work on two levels, either 1) “Hey, do you recall well known stereotype, cause I do”, or 2) said group embodies said stereotype and must be looked down upon.
The “joke” is an insult and the “argument” “I was only kidding” is attempting to argue that humor is completely off-limits.
Whereas here, people aren’t saying “yeah, someone hasn’t heard of satire” to escape shit, they are instead pointing out that the obvious missed point. That the use of these arguments repeatedly by the right are hypocritical demonization.
It’s a survival mechanism by the powerless against the powerful.
But see, it’s not worth pointing this out, because you are a concern troll and probably don’t believe in any of this but think by doing this you can “get back” at liberals for pointing out that you’ve never been funny a day in your life and that no, it’s not okay that the only healthy relationship you’ve ever had was with a Fleshlight you named Melinda.
We (if I may presume) don’t mean it.
Given that I do not even believe in mythical sky fairies or related phantasmagora, that is a pretty safe bet.

So, WordPress has attained sentience, and Dennis is the “
trollghost in the machine”? Damn, I thought that, if W.P. ever attained sentience, the resultant artificial entity would name itself WordPressmute. “Dennis” is kinda prosaic, innit?So, if Dennis is WordPress, does that mean we should start saying “FYD!” instead of “FYWP!” from now on?
These people are more obsessed with gay sex than most gay people I’ve met.
That’s because most gay people actually get to have gay sex. It kinda takes the edge off.
Um, or so I’ve heard.
So, if Dennis is WordPress, does that mean we should start saying “FYD!” instead of “FYWP!” from now on?

goddammit! hubbkf told me tonight that el nina is back and we are to have another winter like last winter…fuck me! what did I do to piss god off?!?!?!?
This is good news! Yes, it was colder than shit here last winter and snowed a buttload (for Arkansas, anyway). But there were upsides. First, I never smelled the possum who died under the house, because it was cold enough that he dessicated before he could generate a powerful enough stench to reach into the house.
Second, and MOAR IMPORTANT, last year’s El Nina cold winter KILLED THE SHIT out of the giant fucking flying roaches. Before last winter, it was typical to see (and kill) one of those nasty motherfuckers in the house every day. Since last year, I’ve had a total of TWO, count ’em TWO of said nasty motherfuckers invade the house. I think the scorching heat and dry weather this summer did a one-two punch on them, but whatever did it, I’ll take it. ‘Cos I hates me some giant fucking disgusting flying roaches. And anything that knocks down their population for the next few years is a good thing.
Also too: I think that should be La Nina. I think it’s El Nino, and La Nina.

Look, Dennis, as the lovely tigris has already noted, the author of this post put a p-shopped image of a woman wearing a toilet costume atop this entry. Now, think SERIOUSly about it. Does this mean we readers here actually believe a state legislator prances around in such an outfit in her state’s Capitol, or was it a visual joke about her level of “thinking”?
The voters in some district of a state which receives a generous amount of my federal tax dollars elected the depicted bonehead, who decided to (ab)use the anniversary of 9/11 to make some ludicrously hateful, victim-blaming comments about gays and AIDS, because in her little bigoted pea-brain, there’s some connection between those topics and terrorism. (As an aside, some of the victims of 9/11 were probably gay — I haven’t arsed myself to check — because a group of New Yorkers that large will, statistically speaking, tend to have some gays in it.) Making her look like a toilet was, IMHO, needlessly kind, but then I don’t have posting privileges here.

There may be a crack in the Washington Monument, but several large pieces fell off the National Cathedral. So God supports the idea of seperation of church and state!
God used to be so awesome–creating universes, breathing life into inanimate dust, speaking from burning bushes and parting seas…Now all it seems like he can do is show His face in pancakes and water stains (if you squint), inspire His favorite athletes to score (sometimes), and (arguably) cause slightly higher levels of structural damage to symbolic structures he dislikes. Whadda chump.
Are you sure? Maybe its all the drawings and paintings and engraving that are wrong. Maybe he wasn’t a mason, maybe he was masonry.

Also, another perplexing question about the Christians. Why do the people who so vehemently insist that there is an afterlife and this wonderous place called Heaven to spend eternity always beg their God to save them or a loved one from having to go there whenever they face death? Seems like if they really believed or if they really loved that person they would pray for the Heaven option.
the problem with the Washington Monument is that it looks nothing like him!
I have it on good authority from Thomas Jefferson’s wife that there’s a strong resemblance.

I have been using a new little talking point on the wingnuts that I run into in day to day life. It requires them to think a little bit, so it is probably wasted on them, but it makes me feel better to shove it down their throats. I tell them that if they really, really, really want to stop federal spending then they must re=elect Obama. If Obama gets a second term then the Republicans in congress will continue to choke the purse strings and the country and will scream bloody murder if there is any talk of raising the debt ceiling. If a Republican is elected then the Republicans will return to the “deficits don’t matter” policy of St. Ronnie as told by apostle Dick.
Nothing against gays, but I just don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about you guys. You’re not on my radar screen most of the time.

Teh bulk is limiting deductions for teh top tax bracket, then eliminating oil and gas tax subsidies and teh hedge fund manager pass through – all to pay for a jobs program. At >9% unemployment and on teh brink of a double-dip. They are going to
soakslightly moisten teh rich in order to put people back to work. I mean it’s less than half a trillion, so still not big enough. It’s mostly smoothing over teh “stimulus becomes anti-stimulus” problem. But moar importantly, it has a chance at slowing teh runaway inequality problem.If’n teh Dems can stick to this and not tear out all teh good parts, then this is good. Because only teh craziest of crazies will vote against a jobs bill right now. FFS, if they had to vote on teh package as is, today – it would pass. Sure there are lots of crazy GOPpers, but there are a bunch that are also cowards at heart.

I don’t know, man. We’re talking about Republicans who actually encouraged the idea allowing some debts to default. They knew that would drive up the cost of debt service. They knew that would put further strain on the economy. They don’t give a fuck about jobs. This thing has to get through the House. I’m not holding my breath.

It’s a fucking jobs bill. Paid for by eliminating politically unpopular tax cuts. The only way this could go wrong (and I give that liklihood a 95% chance of happening) is if teh Dems cave on it before it gets a vote.
Also, why not kill every child before they reach the age of accountability*? Sure, God wouldn’t like it, and you’d go to Hell, but you’d be saving them from even the possibility of eternal torment should they sin after they’re of age. It’s the good and moral thing to do.

Well…guaranteed to go wrong then.
The Republicans have spent the last umpteen and a half months basically giving the Democrats free ads and the Dems haven’t stuck once. I’m really not inclined to expect they will. But happy to see that Obama has at least noticed that his job is in danger and is making the appropriate noise.
Not only will the Republicans roll Obama, you can even predict how they’ll roll him. They’ll lure him in by playing to his bipartisanship fetish, then pull a bait & switch on him. He’ll cave, just like he always does.
