ISBL Asshat of the Week: Nanette Billings


So, it's pretty obvious that Mittsy will be the GOP whipping boy, er, nominee for president, and, of course all of his rivals for the office have long since dropped out of the race.

Well, except for openly gay Republican Fred Karger. He's still in it, despite the chance that he doesn't have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting the nod. But Karger is still running, and on an issues-based campaign to change attitudes within the GOP about same-sex marriage. And just recently his quest took him to, of all places, that hot-bed of LGBT-friendliness, Utah, which holds the nation's last primary election on June 26.

Karger spent four days in Utah, meeting local GOP leaders and urging the Mormon Church, AKA the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to stop funding efforts against marriage equality. Back in the day, Karger founded a group called "Californians Against Hate," which focused on Mormon involvement in the campaign to pass Proposition H8, but that's neither here nor there, it's just background fodder.

The story is that, while in Utah, Fred Karger met with Washington County GOP Party Chairman Willie Billings, whom Karger called "welcoming" and "friendly." In fact, after their meeting, Karger gave Billings some of his campaign treats, like Frisbees and t-shirts. 
Nice gesture, except.....

When Willie Billings took the souvenirs home, his wife, Nanette Billings, our ISBL Asshat of the Week, threw them all in the trash and fired off an email to Karger, via his website:

Wow. I know. Such a lovely woman with quite a grasp of spelling, eh?

First off, Nan...may I call you Nan? Even though I have far filthier names to call you running through my head? Its Frisbee, not frisby, Get a fucking dictionary if you can take the time to pull your fat head out of your overly large ass, m’kay?

Secondly, WTF is a “conseritave”? Is it from the Latin for ‘douchebag with a first grade education’ because that’s what it reads like?

Thirdly, you mindnumbingly dumb wingnut, Fred Karger actually can procreate, and, well, sad to say, so can you, and you probably have, which means there might be an entire litter of your ilk rummaging through the Utah landscape.

I don’t know which sickens me more, her spelling incapability, the fact that she has no idea what an apostrophe is, or the fact that this woman has access to the outside world, and that the outside world wants to hear from her.

See, following the news of her nasty email, Billings spoke via phone with Yahoo News, saying, "My feeling is the only reason he's running for president is to find more [sexual] partners...to get more people on his bandwagon. All I did was go on his site and say, 'You're pathetic.' We're a very conservative state in Utah, very family-oriented. So he's picked a state just to cause ruckus. He's not thinking of family, he's thinking of himself. He's not running for president to fix something in the country—he's thinking of his own personal agenda, period. And I was just letting him know that I think he's an idiot to think of running."

And Nan? You say you're about family and then you spew hate. You aren't about family or family values, because, if those vile rantings of yours are "family" values, then I feel sorry for your family. And I feel sorry for your husband, who seems to at least have an open mind when it comes to Fred Karger, in particular, and the LGBT community in general.
Your impression of us is all based on what your disgusting narrow, pea-brained--though I think a pea is far bigger than your brain--mind can conjure up. And to couch your particular brand of bile in conservatism, or religion, or, for the love of the goddess, even family, is the lowest of low.

Nan, you need to find out why you are so hate-filled, why you have no acceptance, understanding, tolerance, for any person who might be different than you.

Failing that you need a long time, or a lifetime time-out.

For his part, Karger says he was shocked at the email, but that it underscores the reason he traveled to Utah in the first place: "This is what the Mormon church preaches to its members. This is not some isolated woman in Utah."

All the scarier, eh?

I Didn't Say It....

"Evangelist" Michael Brown, on this weekend's Charlotte Pride, where hundreds of red-shirted Christians gathered to scream insults and hatred at attendees:
"How many other community groups feature prominent performances by drag queens at their events? Can you imagine crowds at an Hispanic Pride event, or Black Pride event, or Asian Pride event -- just to name a few -- being entertained by men wearing dresses (or less), hot pink wigs, and matching knee-high boots? And this is part of the LGBT's strategy 'to promote acceptance'? How telling. And how telling that, unmentioned by the Observer, there was a large truck stationed next to the festival offering 'Free HIV Testing.' Yes, just another typical community event. It is also a bit disconcerting to watch young men greet each other with exclamations of 'Hey girl!' before exchanging pecks on the cheek. Does your average child find it confusing to hear men call each other 'girls'?"

I think if more festivals had drag queens, they'd be a helluva lot more fun.
And, Hey girl, there's nothing wrong with that, either.

Glenn Beck, on how Hurricane Irene was a warning to Americans that they start hoarding food in advance of the coming global economic collapse:
"This hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you, as was the earthquake last week, it's God reminding you you're not in control."

Hey!
Chicken Little?
STFU.
Your fifteen minutes were up when Fox finally fired you.
From Florida public school teacher Jerry Buell's syllabus to his students:
"I am a man of God and I try to be like Jesus every day. I teach God's truth, I make very few compromises. If you believe you may have a problem with that, get your schedule changed, 'cause I ain't changing! I try to teach and lead my students as if Lake Co. Schools had hired Jesus Christ himself."

Hey Jerry, you delusional fuck.
Jesus wasn't judgmental.
He loved and accepted everyone.
You aren't Jesus, Jesus-like, or even Jesus-light.
You are something far more sinister.

Linda Harvey, of the hate group Mission America, on how gay people don't really exist:
"There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for 'respect,' respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle. The PR campaign to hold up gay as a good thing: the lifestyle, not the person, because there are no such humans."

Linda. Dear, sweet, shy, stupid, ignorant Linda.
I was a gay child.
I was a gay teen.
I am a gay adult.
I was born that way and I'll die that way.
On the other hand, you were not born hateful. There are no hateful children.
Hate is taught. Hate is learned.
I was born gay, but you learned to hate.

Fred Karger, announcing his lawsuit against FoxNews for being excluded from its televised Iowa debates:
"I am the first openly gay major party candidate to ever run for President of the United States. I have experienced many doors slammed in my face by individuals and outside political organizations during the past eighteen months, but this blatant affront by Fox News executives smacks of discrimination and I hope the Commission will investigate post-haste...When I am denied a place on the debate stage after qualifying, I will take action against the party responsible. Rupert Murdoch and his Fox News should have allowed me on that stage in Ames Iowa last week. Now I am asking the Federal Election Commission to investigate Fox changed it's rules to keep me out."

If the debates are for candidates to share their ideas and ideals, then why deny the one gay candidate a spot on the dais?
Oh.
Gay.
Fair and balanced my ass.


Michele Bachmann, recreating history again:
"What people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward. And especially with this very bad debt ceiling bill, what we have done is given a favor to President Obama and the first thing he'll whack is five hundred billion out of the military defense at a time when we're fighting three wars. People recognize that."

No, honey, what people recognize is that you are a dangerously, delusional, ill-informed, uneducated, religious, wingnut.
That's all.

Michele Bachmann, speaking to "evangelical and Tea Party voters" on God sending hurricanes and earthquakes to Washington:
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."

Just when I think we have reached the depths of her ignorance, Bachmann opens the door to another subterranean level of idiocy.
God sent hurricanes to DC because he's pissed at every politician except  Bachmann.
Honey, I think God was hoping you'd be in DC when the hurricane hit.
Sidenote, asshat: Since Dc was relatively spared, and the Northeast received the brunt of the storm, and storm damages, how do you explain that?
::::crickets:::::
Thought so.

Wingnut Senator Tom Coburn on Barack Obama:
"He's a very bright man. But think about his life. And think about what he was exposed to and what he saw in America. He's only relating what his experience in life was ... His intent isn't to destroy. It's to create dependency because it worked so well for him. I don't say that critically. Look at people for what they are. Don't assume ulterior motives. I don't think he doesn't love our country. I think he does... As an African American male, coming through the progress of everything he experienced, he got tremendous benefit through a lot of these programs. So he believes in them. I just don't believe they work overall and in the long run they don't help our country. But he doesn't know that because his life experience is something different. So it's very important not to get mad at the man. And I understand, his philosophy -- there's nothing wrong with his philosophy other than it's goofy and wrong [laughter] -- but that doesn't make him a bad"

So, Obama is the result of Social programs?
If so, then social programs work, eh?
Or, maybe Barack Obama is the result of his own intelligence, perseverance and drive, while Tom Coburn is a bigot without a sheet.


Rick "Frothy Mix" Santorum, playing that same old record on the sanctity of marriage:
"Letting the family break down and in fact encouraging it and inciting more breakdown through this whole redefinition of marriage debate, and not supporting strong nuclear families and not supporting and standing up for the dignity of human life. Those lead to a society that’s broken. [snip] And you can’t say that we’re gonna take morality out of the public square, morality out of our schools, God out of our schools, and then expect people to behave decently in a country that requires, capitalism requires some strong modicum of moral consciousness if it’s gonna be successful."

Hey Ricky?
Instead of just spouting the usual hateful rhetoric, spell it out for me, cuz I'm just a big dumb queer.
How, Ricky, how? How would my being able to marry Carlos redefine marriage?
And how would it hurt any other marriage int he world?
one day, Ricky, you'll have to explain, and you won't have an answer. All you'll have is hate and bigotry and ignorance.


Brian Brown, completely abandoning the pretense that NOM is a secular organization:
"You and I have always fought together under the banner of truth. Together, truth and love will prevail, as Maggie says. Not Truth without the love of God and our neighbor in our hearts. Nor a Love which is afraid to speak truth for fear of being labeled a bigot or a hater by those who wield scorn and hatred as a weapon to suppress the truth and those who speak it. They win by making us afraid to speak and to act for marriage in the public square. They can only win if they can get us to accept and internalize the second-class status they propose for us. To accept our own marginalization, to be quiet, to stand down and keep our heads down. To live in fear, instead of acting, with courage, out of hope. They do not know us. They do not know the One whom we know."
 
I just adore how he spins the notion that gays are evil, that gays are sinful, that gays are the doom and gloom of the world, and yet pretends top be speaking of love.
God wouldn't like that Brian, and when she grows tired of you, which I think is coming soon, you'll see what god really is all bout.
Love. For everyone.
Because if the "One" you know is filled with hate, then you can have her.

Karger V Bachmann

Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger does not mince words.

This week he took on the Misses Bachmanns, Michele and Marcus, and the "counseling" clinic she owns and he runs that is ALLEGEDLY offering ex-gay therapy.

Karger: “She’s a liar and now that she’s been busted, she’s trying to divert attention away from her lies. She is just another hypocrite and bigot.”

What incited Karger’s harsh words was the revelation of an undercover video investigation by Truth Wins Out in which they sent in a reporter to act as though he was struggling with his sexuality and needed help to tame his homosexual urges.

TWO’s John Becker spent much of June masquerading as a client seeking a cure for his homosexuality. He received several counseling sessions at Bachmann’s clinic, all directed at helping him end his homosexuality and become the heterosexual he was born as, to paraphrase the counselor. 

The Bachmanns are saying nothing about the video and the investigation, In fact, all Crazy Eyed Hypocrite Michele Bachmann will say is that she's proud of the clinic because it creates jobs.

I guess she'd be proud of the factory that creates crosses to burn on peoples lawns, too. Or the seamstresses who create the white sheets for the KKK. Or the makers of Louisville Sluggers used to bash gay men.

It's all about jobs. I guess.

I'm Baaaack And........I Didn't Say it.....

Ben Cohen, rugby player and straight LGBTQ ally, on New York's gay marriage law:
"It’s nice to be in love with someone, and of course you want to have that extra bond of being married and not perceived to be different. [The idea that] because you’re gay you can’t experience being married is wrong."
It's nice when someone associated with such a masculine sport as rugby, where one might think homophobia rampant, can stand up, and speak up, for the rights of the LGBT community.
And he was doing so long before it became the cool thing to do.
Hot. Smart. Athletic. Compassionate.
What's not to love?

Fred Karger
Presidential candidate, on President Obama's marriage stance:
"I am puzzled that a man who is the product of a biracial marriage, whose own parents could not have married in 16 states before 1967, seems unable to understand the extreme pain that bigotry causes... I have never heard of anyone switching sides from pro-gay marriage, as the president used to be, to anti-gay marriage."
Seriously.
While I don't agree with Karger on everything, he is right that Obama used to be for equality, and now he's a little, well, ambiguous.
Evolve already. Fierce advocate.

Cory Monteith, of Glee, has joined the 'Straight But Not Narrow' campaign, an effort to encourage young heterosexual men to show support for their gay peers:

"So, maybe you like to play football, maybe you like to sing and dance, maybe you like both. Maybe you don't like either. Doesn't matter. Just be yourself. Just be you, because that's good enough for me. We're guys talking to guys about guys who like guys."
While the fight for equality is intrinsically a gay fight, it can't ever be won without the support of the heterosexual community, and I love the idea of people like Ben Cohen and Cory Monteith standing up, and speaking up, for gay men and women. and tolerance and understanding and equality.

Linda Harvey, fucktard head of the SPLC-certified hate group Mission America, on Obama and the "homosexual agenda":

"Our President has launched a broad scale attack on traditional values. If homosexuals and transgenders are allowed to live and love as they see fit, we would have a whole societal mess on our hands, which is already starting to happen in some areas. We’re already seeing the denial of liberty, intimidation tactics, and flat out dirty tricks in the effort to silence concerned citizens, especially Christians. And I’m sure many of you are as dismayed as I am over our hyper-sexualized culture, well homosexual activism only puts that trend on steroids. It’s not a rights issue, its cultural revolution, where homosexuality is declared acceptable, the harm and detriments disguised, and no other views are allowed. And that’s not human rights, friends, it’s anti-family tyranny. We need someone else as President, don’t you think? Someone who loves and honors God, His design, and truth itself."
Linda? You're an ass.
No one, no one, saying Christians can't all gather and preach their love of God and their hate of Gays. You can do that. it's called Freedom Of Speech, bitch. Like, I have the right to call you a bitch.
What you cannot do, you twisted mind-fucking dimwit, is use your religion to set the laws for everyone in this country.
All men, and women, are created equal, and I would like to see them treated that way.
Asshat.

Thomas Tobin, Bishop of the Providence Catholic Diocese, on the notion of Civil Unions becoming legal in Rhode Island--and they have:

"I am deeply disappointed that Rhode Island will establish civil unions in our state. The concept of civil unions is a social experiment that promotes an immoral lifestyle, is a mockery of the institution of marriage as designed by God, undermines the well-being of our families, and poses a threat to religious liberty. Can there be any doubt that Almighty God will, in His own time and way, pass judgment upon our state, its leaders and citizens, for abandoning His commands and embracing public immorality? I encourage Catholics to pray for God’s patience, mercy and forgiveness in these distressing times."
Um, Bishop? Honey?
When you want to talk about an immoral lifestyle--and rational people know that being gay is not a lifestyle, but a life--shouldn't you look around your church, first, and work hard, real hard, on casting out all those child-raping priests in your midst?
If you wanna talk immorality, and illegality, let's look at you and yours, aiding and abetting child molesters.
So, pray all you want, I think God is praying you'll do the right thing and actually start protecting children.

Marcus Bachmann, husband wacknut Teabaggin' presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann, and an "ex-gay' therapist and ALLEGED homosexual, on The Gays:

"We have to understand: barbarians [gays] need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps. And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps. That’s why when we understand what truly is the percentage of homosexuals in this country, it is small. But by these open doors, I can see and we are experiencing, that it is starting to increase."
He's as stupid as his wife, and just as dangerous.
Spreading fear as gospel.
Demeaning gay people by calling them barbarians and suggesting wee need 'discipline.'
What we need, you self-loathing, closeted, mother-effin' moron, is be treated equally, and with dignity, and for people like you and your numbskull of a wife, to stop spreading lies and fear and intimidation.
Which, of course, you do because it's the only way people will listen to you.

Brad Pitt, on New York's recently passed gay marriage law:

"It is encouraging that New York has joined the movement to grant equal marriage rights to its citizens. But it is each American's Constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit. No state should decide who can marry and who cannot. Thanks to the tireless work of so many, someday soon this discrimination will end and every American will be able to enjoy their equal right to marriage."
Hot, sexy, smart, compassionate.
And with a wife who is hot, sexy, smart and compassionate.
What's not to love?
And, Pitt puts his money where his mouth is. he donated $100,000 of his own money to fight California's anti-gay Proposition 8.

Lady Gaga, on the accusation that she uses LGBT politics to sell records:

“To say that I would use the gay community to sell records is probably one of the most ridiculous statements anyone can make about me as a person... I would say the top thing I think about every single day of my life, other than my fans, loving the music, and my family being healthy, is social justice and equality.”
I would hope that she isn't using us, but when she does things like write "The Next Big Gay Anthem" in ten minutes, I wonder.
But then she did motivate many people in New York to call and write their senators about marriage equality.......

I Didn't Say It......

With tomorrow being the Day Of Silence, I will choose to be quiet--is that a Hallelujah, I hear?--so I'm posting "I Didn't Say It...." a day early, along with some of my other rants and rages.
I'll have the usual gossipy snark on Saturday and some lovely Sunday Funnies, and will be back with fresh stuff  on Monday.
Have a great weekend.

Gay GOP Presidential candidate Fred Karger, on Mike Huckabee and The Gays: 
"One year ago, Mike Huckabee said terrible things about my community and me. He compared gay marriage to incest, polygamy and drug abuse. He said that gay couples should not be able to adopt: 'These are not puppies, raising children is not an experiment.' Who the hell is he to cast aspersions on others? I don't like self-righteous bullies. So, I will from time to time bring up the hypocrisy of those others who are considering running for president in 2012. I have written three previous columns asking Mike Huckabee to apologise to the victims of these horrific murders and to the millions of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans whom he brands as unfit parents. He certainly owes us an apology, as well."

Oh, Huckleberry will never apologize. Doing so would separate him from his base of toothless illiterate Birthers and Teabaggers who vote hate, not law.
Huckleberry will the last man standing when this country finally treats all its citizens as equals, and he'll be holding a God Hates Fags sign.

Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's "ethics commission," on Nashville's decision not to do business with companies that discriminate against their LGBT employees:
"So a six-foot guy who shaves every day can come in wearing a dress, high heels, and earrings and tell his employer that he's really a woman and he wants to use the women's bathroom facilities, and there's nothing the employer can do to stop him if he wants to do business in Metro. Clearly the Metro Council members, a majority of them succumbed to the intense lobbying of a minority that wants special rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people."

Yes, Dick.
May I call you Dick, because that's what you are when you employ these kinds of divisive stereotypes that all gay men want to be women, and be in the women's bathrooms.
And then you mutter that old chestnut of a lie about "special rights". Since when is not getting fired, denied housing, denied employment, based on who you are a "special right"?
Crawl back under your rock.

Congresswoman, and Crazy Eyed, Michele Bachmann, on marriage equality:
"In 5,000 years of recorded human history... neither in the east or in the west... has any society ever defined marriage as anything other than between men and women. Not one in 5000 years of recorded human history. That's an astounding fact and it isn't until the last 12 years or so that we have seen for the first time in recorded human history marriage defined as anything other than between men and between women."

Hey Michele, you tool.
In 5,000 years marriage has gone from a tradition of women being treated like property, to marriage being used to gain power and control, to marriage being one man and as many wives as he wanted, to marriage being interfaith, to marriage being interracial.
So, stop this traditional marriage bull shiz.
There is no such thing, you gasbag.

Congresswoman, and Crazy Eyed, Michele Bachmann [again!], on how she felt when Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage:
"I heard the news on my local Christian radio station in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and I was devastated. And I went across the street and I took a walk and I went to prayer, and I said: 'Lord, what you have me do in the Minnesota State Senate?' And through prayer I knew that I was to introduce the marriage amendment in Minnesota."

Um, dingbat, er, Michele.
I kid. I meant dingbat.
So, God told you to introduce a marriage amendment in Minnesota, did he?
Did God happen to mention in your subsequent talks that Minnesota presently does not have a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage?
Or did you just conveniently forget the truth?
Again?

Former GOP Senator Alan Simpson, on GOP homophobia:
"We have homophobes in our party. That’s disgusting to me. We’re all human beings. We’re all God’s children. Now if they’re going to get off on that stuff—Santorum has said some cruel things—cruel, cruel things—about homosexuals. Ask him about it; see if he attributes the cruelness of his remarks years ago. Foul. Now if that’s the kind of guys that are going to be on my ticket, you know, it makes you sort out hard what Reagan said, you know, 'Stick with your folks.' But I’m not sticking with people who are homophobic, anti-women, moral values—while you’re diddling your secretary while you’re giving a speech on moral values? Come on, get off of it."

Get off it, indeed.
Hypocrisy and homophobia and moral outrage at any who doesn't share the GOP mantra.
Even while they don't follow it themselves. And nice to see a GOP'er stand up to his own party.

Boy George, on his friend Phillip Sallon, who was gay-bashed last week:
"In the early 80s there was this sense that things were changing, and becoming more open-minded. But we don’t have that sort of gorgeous youth culture any more, the glam rockers, the New Romantics. People aren’t so individual any more. There is this sense of why would you want to stand out and make a show of yourself? You can find that sort of attitude in the gay community too. That if you are an exhibitionist you are somehow spoiling the big assimilation. Most gay men go out of their way to look normal and fit in, but Philip is not of that breed."

Boy, Boy, you say some dumb things.
There are plenty of gay men who don't "fit in".
But they don't do it by outrageous clothing, or nonsensical statements.
They do it, we do it, I do it, by living our lives openly and honestly and letting people know that we don't all have to be Boy George to think we're fabulous.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Igor Lukšić, on supporting a gay Pride Parade:
“Whether we personally accept them or not, whether we personally have one opinion or the other, let that remain our personal thought, but we must face the fact that there are differences in the society, that those issues are a part of the human rights corpus. Let the people take a walk and we will show that we are civilized.”

I like the sentiment.
I like the idea of the leader of a country standing up and talking openly himself, not through press releases and flunkies.
I have a problem with the word them. To me, it is the most divisive word because it splits people into them and us.
He should have just said whether you personally accept gay people or not.....
Because people don't have to accept me, but they cannot legislate against me or treat me as any thing other than an equal.

Sarah Palin, flip-flopping [quelle surprise!] on the issue of Birthers:
"I believe he was born in Hawaii...[but]...,I appreciate that The Donald wants to spend his resources in getting to the bottom of something that so interests him and so many Americans. You know, more power to him! He's not just throwin' stones from the sidelines. He's diggin' in there! He's paying for researchers to find out why President Obama would have spent $2 million to not show his birth certificate."

Hmmm, so you believe he was born in Hawaii, but you believe he's hiding something on his birth certificate? And you like someone wasting time, when they could be talking about, oh, I dunno, issues?
Or, are you just stooping as low as you can, say, to Trump's level, to try and make yourself appear relevant?
It ain't working, Mama Grizzly Bore. It ain't working.

Donald Trump, on NYT writer, Gail Collins after she read him in an article:
"The term used by Ms. Collins-“birther”-is very derogatory and is meant in a derogatory way. Had this been George Bush or almost any other President or Presidential aspirant, they would never have been allowed to attain office, or would have been thrown out of office very quickly. For some reason, the press protects President Obama beyond anything or anyone I have ever seen. What they don't realize is that if he was not born in the United States, they would have uncovered the greatest "scam" in the history of our country. In other words, they would become the hottest writer since Watergate, or beyond. Open your eyes, Gail, there's at least a good chance that Barack Hussein Obama has made mincemeat out of our great and cherished Constitution!"

Looky there, Trump has reduced himself to throwing in the Hussein because he wants all his Birther Fools to think that Obama is a Muslim, and therefore a terrorist.
Does Donald Trump think for one instant that Hilary Clinton didn't investigate this bull shiz so she could become the Democratic nominee in '08?
And does he seriously think any board of elections that watches over the electoral process--the same group that would ask that his "reality" show be removed if he announced his candidacy--not do their due dilligence when Obama ran for any public office? You're barking up the wrong tree, Donny, and making the GOP look like a bunch of moronic losers while you're at it.
Keep it up, and you all can watch Barack Hussein Obama being sworn in again.

Republican asshat, and governor of Iowa wannabe, Bob Vander Plaats, on his belief that homosexuality is a public public health risk:
"When you take a look at it, this isn’t the Family Leader, but say the New York Health Department. They’ve put out an ad basically highlighting all the dangers of the homosexual lifestyle, that you’re this many times more to get this particular disease or this many times more to get this other type of disease. Now, they conclude with 'practice safe sex.' But they’re almost taking our talking points. Because anybody, the Journal of Medicine will back us up on this, that this is a risky lifestyle, health risk lifestyle. If we’re teaching the kids, 'don’t smoke, because that’s a risky health style,' the same can be true of the homosexual lifestyle. That’s why I think we need to speak the truth once in a while."

Gee, Bob, why don't we legislate against any and all public health risks.
Like smoking. Drinking. Guns.
Why aren't you out fighting to keep kids off drugs? That's got to be a public health risk. I mean, kids that use and share needles are at risk of HIV, and their drug addict "lifestyle" should be outlawed. Oh, I know drugs are illegal, but you aren't fighting that battle, Bob, you just want to denigrate The Gays.
Prostitutes having unprotected sex are at risk of HIV, so we ought to legislate their lifestyle. Oh, I know prostitution is illegal, but you aren't fighting that battle, Bob, you just want to denigrate The Gays.
But, a very real public health risk is being stupid and hateful, Bob.
So, maybe we need to get the New York Health Department to do an ad about you.

Robert Pattinson, on, well, Robert Pattinson:
"I guess I used to be weirder. When you’re confronted with yourself too much, you start to think, Jesus Christ, you’re so fucking boring. And the more you think you’re boring, the more you become boring. I talk about myself too much now."

And look?
You're doing it again. And again.
One day, Rob, Twilight will be over, and no one will want to hear you talk about yourself.
I await that day.

John Boehner, on how he has no idea what the House's legal defense of the DOMA might cost: 
“I do not have an estimate. But we were placed in a position where we were in effect allowing the administration to determine the constitutionality of a bill that passed the United States Congress because they were unwilling to defend it. I don’t think the House had any choice but to take the position that we were going to defend the work that the Congress — and only the courts are in the position of determining the constitutionality of any bill.”

Hmmm, um, Weepy?
I thought you were put in that position, I mean as Crybaby, er, Speaker, because you wanted to fix the country, you know. Get people back to work? Help them keep their homes? Make the US economy strong again?
But, no, you're just about symbolic repeals of laws you cannot repeal, keeping Car Talk off my radio dial, and defending DOMA, which is basically defending inequality and injustice.
I see you weeping again soon, Johnny, as you pass that gavel back to the Democrats.

American Family Association spokesdouche Bryan Fischer, believing that we must force all immigrants top convert to Christianity or send them home [sidenote: and he says the AFA isn't a Hate Group?]:
"It’s simple: don’t break the law (that is, come in through the front door instead of breaking in through a window), convert to Christianity, fully assimilate (become an authentic American, not a hyphenated American), and support yourself. If you commit to those things, you are welcome here. If you don’t or won’t, perhaps it’s best for you to stay home."

Wow.
Hate.
Pure and simple hate.
He wants people to become like him, or not enter this country at all. Imagine if that had been our policy all those years ago. No one of a different color than white, a different religion than Christianity, a different language than English.
No, he isn't a hater.
He's The Hater.

Jerry Cox, of the Arkansas Family Policy Council, on the state Supreme Court ruling outlawing a gay adoption ban:
"What this ruling does is it puts the rights of adults and their preferences ahead of what's best for children, and that's a sad thing and a bad day for the foster and adoptive children of Arkansas. The court simply ignored the will of the people, took matters into their own hands and looked at the people and said, 'What you think doesn't matter; we're going to have the final word in this.' And they took control of the issue and struck down a good law that's there for the welfare of children."

The best thing for children is to be loved and nurtured and cared for by a loving parent or parents.
And to ask people to legislate that LGBT people cannot love or nurture or care for a child is the height of hate.
Even in Mike Huckabee's Arkansas.
