Asshat Smackdown! for June 10, 2009

I'd hold those Asshat votes on Pedro, he's announced he's a supporter of same-sex marriage and wants to get the Senate to vote and Monserrate claims he's undecided.

Their coup may actually deliver same-sex marriage since the Democratic leader seemed to have made a deal with Diaz to hold it up.

In the end Republicans may deliver same-sex marriage for NY. Now that'll be ironic!!

Youth ministers and priests to his list of potential abusers. I'm sure it slipped his mind. He is becoming senile.

I can't find a link for it at this moment, but, back in the 1980's, Robertson publicly said that it was perfectly acceptable to kill homosexuals. So I'm certain anything he has to say with regards to LGBT folk ain't worth shit.

I hope whoever called him for advice got a second opinion afterward.

Espada may turn out better than Malcolm for the Gay marriage bill. According to the NYTimes Espada,  wants a vote on the gay marriage bill, even if he doesn't have 32 guareenteed votes like Malcolm Smith wanted.

I'm going to take the admitedly strange position of defending some (though not all) the Pro-Rob & Arnie trolls. Even though I didn't agree with them at any level and loved the arguments and wit (Liz - your posts made me laugh like a hyena sitting on an anthill) used by the regulars of this site against them, at least the Rob & Arnie lot came here.

Granted, most of them didn't undersand why were pissed off and most of them didn't understand the philosophy of free speech, but at least they weren't afraid to defend their position. And they weren't afraid of gays - they didn't just sit outside and snipe: they actually got engaged with us. They weren't just a bunch of homo-haters. OK, some of them were obnoxious, but some of them genuinely wanted to explain why they believed what they believed.

Yep, it's a weird world when I'd start defending trolls (for so many years I'd just toss them to the billy goats gruff), but these trolls didn't just barrage us with hate speech (although some did) and that's a major step forward in how we're perceived, when you think about it.

voted for Pat Robertson.

do lesbians also get abused by coaches and whatnot, sir?

what about people who were abused who are with the opposite sex? they're the lucky ones, i guess. they prayed their desires away.*eye roll*

geez, i would be more angry and pissed off at the coaches, priests, next door neighbors, whatever else that are DOING the sexual abuse to these little girls and boys...and not the victims. i mean, why pray for the victim? why sit them down and say "well, YOU need to change"?

if anyone needs to change, or go to hell, it's the people who are abusing the children.

idiot

 

the asshat each week, every week.  Don't need a special reason to vote for him one week, over any other...

This week has to go to those asshat traitor NY Senators who have gone to the dark side, especially at a time when they were really needed.  Shame.

I think by now it's pretty clear that Diaz and Malcom Smith struck a deal in the NY Senate to not put up marraige equality for a vote in exchange for Smith's leadership position.  Pedro Espada is going to put the issue up for a vote, and even if we lose, we'll at least know where we stand, and we'll at least have  a chance.

Never thought I would have the chance to decide who's the biggest d-bag of the week, but its an enjoyable game with fun outcomes.  What better for a blog poll question?  Pat Robertson is a funny fellow with an interesting (i.e. detached) view of reality.  For him (and mostly the rest of us) the rapture couldn't come any sooner...

Take a break and explore the world of hedonism and pleasure-seeking!

Chuckles!

I'm not saying the guy isn't dangerous, but seriously, every time he speaks I just respond with a "eh".  The guy spouts the same crap he's been spouting forever.  He's slowly turning into a less brash version of Fred Phelps.  He is an asshat, but that has already been well established, and now we are feeding into his publicity machine by getting up in a huff every time he does something. 

 

I think it's time we just start brushing him off.  I know I'm going to catch flack for saying this, but it's honestly how I feel.  Ol' Pat is a battle we'll never win, because there is no way his mind will ever change.  Sadly, most of his followers are the same way.  If we just brush them off, then he'll have to get louder and more extreme to get our attention, and before long people will just look at him like some ranting crazy (something the gays have known for a long, long time.)

 Pat Robertson! Why doesn't his heavenly father just call him home already? He has spread enough lies and hate filled vitriol on this planet. I feel confident that when he reaches whichever place he beleives to be heaven he will be denied with an emphatic "That's not what I meant Asshat!"

Gay and lesbian rights are not special rights in any way. It isn't "special" to be free from discrimination. It is an ordinary, universal entitlement of citizenship."

Definitely Pat Robertson, what he said was disgusting and uncalled for. He is discriminating against us, saying we will go to hell.. Yeah, nothing I haven't heard before from Christian fundies, but it still sucks.. 

Harvey Milk: You gotta give 'em hope.

You have to pick the trolls guys!  I mean seriously, Pat Robertson is too easy. How asshatted is it to register on a gay site to bash us for the dimwitted nature of their heroes? Do you think they thought after a while that they were gay now that they registered at a primarily gay male blog?

From MJ's Big Blog

KISS co-founder, Gene Simmons, dropped by the FOX Philadelphia studios yesterday to talk about his A&E reality show, Family Jewels, but he also had a few thoughts and some advice for Idol runner up, Adam Lambert.

While Simmons said Adam is “great and has a lot of talent,” adding that “he’s got a future if he wants to sing in Queen or be on Broadway,” he doesn’t think he’s a true rock singer in the mold of Rolling Stone’s Mick Jagger.

He’s also had some advice for Adam, “Mostly he should shut up about his sexual preferences. We, America, the rest of the world, really don’t care,” he added, “I mean, if the story becomes ‘I prefer farm animals to,’ you know, who cares?”

Uh, that’s quite a leap there, Gene.

The ever modest Simmons had this to say about performing with Adam at the Idol finale, “How was it for him to perform with us, you mean?” he said. “That’s right, I see. Well, you just have to realize who the governor is and who the little puppy is.”

That’s right, KISS is so relevant to rock music, Gene is now relegated to appearing in some crappy A&E reality show with his family…

A relative of mine used to work with Pat Robertson's TV network.  She said virtually everyone there considers him nuts and they have him on a 5 second delay so they can cut immediately to an ad when Robertson starts saying totally crazy shit on the air.

 He has a huge obsession with muscular men, too.

This is the same guy that publically announced his daughter was insane (Angelina Jolie, lest anyone forget) and ruining her life.  So much for reliability and honesty.

A schmuck is a schmuck, is a schmuck.

Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Fred Phelps, and Ted Haggard are in the Hall of Fame, no use to vote for them.

That's all I am saying...
