Shorter Mark Steyn
Above, Steyn under the influence of Heineken and amyl nitrate:
“Chief Ho-mo Ind-i-an! Hunkpapa! Little Bighorn! It is to larf!!”
‘The internal contradictions of multiculturalism’
- Behold the self-serving inconsistency of Charles Merrill (a gay atheist artist who regularly blasphemes monotheist religions) saying that he admires faggy polygamist Native American cultures because of their tolerance of faggotry! What a faggy fag-lover who loves fag-loving fags!!
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard.
Plus: Nice try. Steyn struggles with his own inconsistencies. Notably for this piece, how does he degrade Native American religions and homosexuality, defend monotheism (and its homophobia), yet remain the numero uno Islamophobe of world wingnuttia? How indeed: by implying that Islam alone among the “Abrahamic” religions has ever endorsed polygamy. Oooo-kay. On the other hand, Steyn exhibits amazing reticence in not calling Merrill a “ninny“.
PS: It’s worth noting that the hysterically homophobic Steyn is an expert on and huge fan of Broadway musicals.
PPS: Remember your neocon 101: Homosexuality saps morale, appeases Islamocommiefascists, has always formed an integral part of America’s fifth column.

Even I quaff a cold Chang, I couldn’t resist seeing what you guys were up to, and again. old Marky has belched out a real stupid one. No further comment is required, although he has banged on about ‘Native Americans’ before.
The contradiction, re , Mark’s love for musicals and his rampant homophobia has struck me before, remind me of that old Bill Hicks line;
“..someone that far right, must be hiding a deep, dark secret…”
and you know the rest.
Anyway, back to the cold beer.

To paraphrase Tom Servo “Mark Steyn, you make me want to vomit. Go away! Just go away!”
Can you believe someone actually called this guy the “greatest writer currently working in the English language”? I don’t remember but the fact that anybody said it is pitiful enough.

I’m guessing Steyn was going for a “World O’ Crap/Sadly, No!” take down with that article. And other than the lack of anything remotely witty or humorous, he pretty much succeeded. Still, he managed to get a completely gratuitous and false slam against Islam.
God I despise Mark Steyn. Of all the Wingnut hack propagandists, I think I hate him most of all.

Well I for one have no problem taking seriously those whose essential message is, “Gosh golly I hate them ay-rabs so much because they’re such a threat to everything I hate about America.”

the old testament has plenty of polygamy in it, and does not comment on it unfavorably.
also, it’s a universal belief system that alleges to trump all other explanations of reality. so whether or not polygamy is ok hardly seems central…
see, i’m doing it. i’m taking a mark steyn argument seriously. it’s just impossible.
he’s a total fucking idiot. there is simply no more to it. people who read him and find themselves nodding are idiots.

Hey! I always find myself nodding when reading Mark Steyn…oh, wait, that’s nodding off. Never mind.
Was he actually surprised that a gay activist was in favor of cultures that don’t condemn homosexuality? Really? I’m almost tempted to go read him and find out.
Nah–not worth it. I’ll take your word for it.

Just because you’re an atheist doesn’t mean you can’t have more respect for one religion than others on display. Steyn is just throwing a fuzz because the mean artist is meant to Jesus but not so mean to some other dudes who happen to be different.
The “atheist multiculturalist homo ninny who probably supports FGM and honor killings and only likes these Native Americans because they don’t drive big cars and are non-white” is not lauding the religion because it *exists*, but because it recognizes that the rules about two-partner relationships is quite arbitrary, and that *our* rules are a result of history and experience, not *ethics*. There is no conflict with having left-wing values yet supporting one religion more than the other because it happens to be more lax on love issues.
HOWEVER: If the tolerance and allowing of polygamy *only* extends to men in the community in question, then it is quite dumb and should not be applauded.

One would have to only imply that; otherwise, readers would note that men in the Torah (say, Jacob) had two concurrent wives, and a mistresses or two as well.
Matt T. said,

Two wives and two mistresses? Hell, King David had hundreds of wives and concubines, and still turned traitor for a piece of tail. And he was one of God’s favorites.

Can’t stand Mark Steyn. It’s like he’s bent his whole career to trying to turn all of journalism into some laughing stock, and he’s acting out his own career to do that. If that makes sense… ugh. There are REAL journalists out there mark, who do real research, and don’t just get paid to sit around and opine without even the basic research tool of using Google.

Polygamist…like ABRAHAM? Do these people use their Bibles for anything other than as a device against which to thump their foreheads?

Rejection of polygamy was a characteristic of Western civilization which predated Christianity. St Paul had to claim that Christianity rejected polygamy as part of his compromise with the Roman Empire.

First time poster, long time reader.
On behalf of Canada, I would like to thank you, America, for taking all our wingnuts from us (Steyn, Black, Frum). If you could be so kind as to take Paul Jackson, Colby Cosh, and the entire Byfield family from us, it would be most appreciated.
