Let's see.. in this bunch I see a murderer, an idiot, a feminazi, a colorful country star, and a messed up actress.
Yep, Their standards ARE high.
No particular comment on the original post, since I haven't been following it that closely yet, but...
Kevorkian is a murderer? The hyperbole is a little thick here.
Feminazi? Doesn't that almost violate "Godwin's Law"?
Just to make it clear, for the record, I don't think Kevorkian went about his cause in a way that was smart, but there certainly was no doubt about the prognosis and wishes of these people. Are you really against ANYone dying with dignity before "natural death"? Does everyone have to go through that final month of pain during many terminal illnesses so that they can meet your standard of a "natural death"?
Erik, I basically agree with you. He did break the law, and technically that does make him a murderer. I don't think I'd call him that, though. Yeah, as you said, he did it in a stupid way... but I'm a believer in "right to death," so to speak.
Wish I had time to get into it now...
Exactly, the gay Nazis 'outed' Gannon's past not because they have moral convictions about prostitution, but because they know OTHER people, esp religious conservatives, do, & want them to make trouble for Gannon. And when Mike Rogers calls Gay Patriot's employer (!!), again, he's hoping to use other people's homophobia against GP, because he doesn't like GP's political beliefs.
Bottom-feeders!
TERRI IS DEAD.
Moving on.
Y'know, sparkle, I read one of your posts on another blog and thought you might be alright. Guess I know better now.
Hector, couldn't have said it better myself.
Knott, what views do you expect her to have? Sparkle is a very nice lady, intelligent, and she knows what she thinks. Keep in mind that she is a very devout Catholic, so do not expect her to differ from the church on social issues, as far as I can tell. There is nothing inherently *wrong* with how she comes to her conclusions, but just understand what you are going to find here. No amount of arguing will change what she sees as "God's laws".
Those deviants under liberal wings need to know that liberality stops at the party's edge.
I don't know who you are or what you mean, or who that was directed to Walter. Can you be a little more specific?
The liberal "protection" and "understanding" of Gays is extended only to liberal Gays.
As for who I am, Google away. I do not hide.
Ohhh...I get it...you're saying that you believe that gays are deviants, but not the people that call them deviants. That clears up a lot.
Deviants is bad? I suppose, to lock-step robot programmmed conformists it is. The Sessame Street site is over there.
I can't use proper grammer, can't spell, I can't make a coherent argument at all.
Journalism is not a professsion. It is an activity. Saying that only profession writers are capable of practicing jourmalism is like saying that only whores are capable of having sex.
Fascinating that all the discussion here is about "Jeff Gannon's" alleged work as an gay escort.
But no one has talked about the far more serious allegations involving "Gannon".
Included among these are his exclusive access to several White House stories and his alleged viewing of the Valerie Plame memo.
*yawn* That's because NOBODY CARES, Dumb. It wasn't an issue before, but lefties decided to try and scream it into one.
And you're just a troll, trying again. And failing.
The only people I've heard scream about "Gannon" are conservatives.
If "Gannon" were a liberal in a Democratic White House, you all would be burning him at the stake and descending on the White House with torches and pitchforks to burn down the "sinful liberals" within.
Then you weren't following the story very closely, Dumb. Do some googling. It should take you, oh, about two seconds to find out who outed him, and who was screaming for his head.
If Gannon was a liberal in a Democratic White House, chances are good nobody would have given a crepe about him. However, he wasn't: the bad behaviour displayed was almost entirely from the LLL side, and it wasn't just bad, it was DIRTY.
In fact, trying to blame this one of conservatives is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Nothing could be further from the truth, and only someone with the brains of a snail would try to argue it otherwise.
Sheesh.
Wonderduck, you must have been home schooled. If you had actually READ my post instead of just making up what you think it said, you would have seen that I did credit anyone with "outing" Gannon.
Nor did I "blame" anyone for the story surrounding him. I merely pointed out that conservatives were the ones who were shouting the loudest about Gannon. And your posts are a perfect example of this...
Obviously, that second sentence should read "...I did NOT credit anyone with "outing" Gannon."
"The only people I've heard scream about "Gannon" are conservatives."
-Dumbya.
To which I say, bullhockey. The screams were from LLLers who tried to make it as big as Rathergate.
It must be nice to be so stupid... the whooshing sounds of logical thought blowing by you must sound sooo pretty.
Wonderduck, I find it fascinating that almost everyone on the right resorts to the same tactics when confronted with the truth: ignore any questions that are brought up, blame the whole incident on the liberals/gays/Hollywood/terrorists, bring up some random "evil" thing that liberals have allegedly done, and then insult anyone who dares to question your agenda.
Thanks for not disappointing me!
