And Now… An Important Message From Rick Santorum

Started by baratunde aka jack turner · 10 months ago

I just got this in my inbox, and thought I’d share how the insane, bigoted and ignorant policies of the fringe, so-called “religious” right will be used yet again in an attempt to distract this country from the choices facing it. I’ll offer commentary throughout this very personal letter I received from Rick “Man Dog [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ ... Continue reading »

    thx for revealing a very real and pivotal battleground: the inbox. not websites.

    inboxes allow for "i'm not racist but my neighbor is" neighbor to telecommute. instead of dressing up in proper, but lying, language and going to work next to you and me, this one sits at home, racism fully unclothed.

    microtargeting by old school pharisees like this works in the personal spaces of inboxes and the pulled curtains.

    I would like to point out, owing to hate mongering such as this, that Santorum became defined at "a frothy mixture of fecal matter and lube resulting after gay sex." His staff apparently finds this hilarious and titter behind his back constantly.

    Also, do you ever notice how often the Republicans fighting to ban homosexuality are the ones busted soliciting men in airport bathrooms/the intern pool? They doth protest too much.

    Thanks for posting this. These values are very American- see difference as a threat. Rick needs to take a page out of Jay Z's life long lesson...

    Quoting Jay Z, "What you eat don't make me shyt."

    No, that would have required a man and his dog in wedding attire. LOL.

    This is straight from the "making shyt up" category. ROFL

    Is there something you want to tell us, Jack? Cause I didn't know you were a FOR (Friend of Rick). LOL.

    And he's crawling out from under his rock to defend marriage. I wonder if there's a live boy skeleton in his closet ((rolls eyes and grinds teeth).

    I see a whole lot of comedy routines worthy of Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) on this one.

    Defenders of Marriage are just tiresome. Even marriage doesn't like itself.

    Not the way Santorum and his ilk conduct it; I wouldn't like marriage, either.

    All those restrictions and shyt, you know.

    Guess that's why I'm still happily single.

    Do you suppose that one of the members of "Adam and Steve" fame might be Steve Jobs.

    I don't know, being lesbian and all, if I like the idea of rich gay men having so much control either. But like with most men, I guess you can get them to do the heavy lifting.

    My wife and I have been married for almost 25 years and have had many gay and lesbians friends. My kids have inter-acted with these friends and never have they attempted to convert or convice them to switch sides. My children have learned a valuable lesson here, gays are just like the rest of us and thier relationships have the same ups and downs as the rest of us.

    He's right, you know; if gay marriage is allowed, many people like me who thought they were heterosexual are going to go out and marry a homosexual.

    I am laughing out loud at this great article. The cryptic followup comments are priceless. Hey, Rick, you gay-man-dog-hater, you.crack.me.up! And why not, McCain thinks Obama is a celeb because he actually took his shirt off to go into the ocean. Repubs like Ricky are the most repressed of all males on this earth. No wonder they are closeted freaks! And, Jack - you're just too funny. I'm sending to friends.

    The man whose name has become a synonym for "that frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that sometimes results from anal sex" really really needs to be outed in a sting for soliciting S&M sex with an underage boy. Really. What. A. Jerk.

    I love the notion that the "will of the people" is relevant, as if we distribute fundamental human and Constitutional rights by a show of hands in this country.

    Tim Gill - the founder of Quark? Yes, according to Wikipedia.

    I had no idea. But knowing he's a pro-LGBT activist makes me want to upgrade my copy of QuarkXPress, even though I switched to Adobe InDesign years ago!

    Goddamn those Republican California judges and their obsession with human rights!

    BTW, aren't there any billionaire lesbians stealthily undermining the sanctity of marriage? What's up with that? I find Sanctimoniorum's predilection for gay men offensive.

    Here's my response to the religious right's opposition to gay marriage. Social conservatives associate the term "gay lifestyle" with promiscuity. So if some gay and lesbian couples are in a committed enough relationship that they want to get married, don't freakin' complain!

    For starters, the title of the post is - of course - an oxymoron. And no, Ricky, that doesn't imply any Rick-on-ox sex

    My 2 favourite parts of the email:
    1) where he tells us that NOM's plan includes "a sophisticated issue ad campaign", just after you pointed out that he chose the word "sophisticated" to describe the shadowy network of gay activists because of it's heightened sense of gayness.

    2) his very Freudian description of students in public schools as "captive children". I guess he's comparing them to those independent home-schooled kids.

    Then he accidentally slips some truth into his pitch:
    "Protestants, Catholics, Jews and Muslims who see marriage as the union of husband and wife, and view sexual activity as best confined to marriage so defined, are in the exact position as racists under California law"

    Yes, they are. They can think whatever they want, but if the act on those beliefs in certain ways, then they will be breaking the law. Bonus points to Ricky for actually *pretending* to be concerned about Muslims, even if it's driven by greed.

    I don't even know where to start with this one...

    I guess I'll just say that, yes, opposing gay marriage and other gay rights DOES make you a bigot. If you're imposing on another person's rights by using your assumptions about them as "proof" that they're bad/wrong/otherwise negative, then that's the very definition of being a bigot, my friend.

    Meanwhile, what in the hell does gay marriage do to Christians? Nothing. Oh, except undermine their authority and make them nervous. Big whoop.

    (And NOM? Seriously? They couldn't come up with anything harder to make fun of?)

    I especially love the way he talks about gay marriage like it's some sort of epidemic that the courts are allowing to run rampant. Like our kids are going to be getting all gay married-up just because it's the cool new thing to do. It's going to be the next generation's equivalent to the hybrid car or crocs (depending on your personal views).
