Homo-con group GOProud takes credit for veto of Arizona’s “License to Discriminate” bill

Biggest laugh of the day.

Homo-conservative group GOPRoud sent out the letter below, hours after Governor Brewer of Arizona vetoed the “License to Discriminate” bill. In the letter, the group takes credit for Brewer’s decision to veto the legislation.

What a laugh…

Dear Friends,

On Tuesday GOProud sent out a statement encouraging Governor Jan Brewer to veto Arizona Senate Bill 1062, which would have legalized the discrimination of gay individuals.

Today, we are proud to share with you the news that the Governor Brewer has vetoed that legislation. It is because of supporters like you that the message of freedom is reaching conservative leaders all across America.

Governor Brewer’s decision reinforced the voices of several influential Republicans like Senator John McCain, Senator Jeff Flake, Governor Mitt Romney, Governor Rick Scott, and Speaker Newt Gingrich, who all spoke out against SB 1062, just like we did.

This is no small victory. GOProud’s mission is one that is being characterized by many of our Party leaders. Together, we are entering a modern Republican era, where the principles of conservatism are celebrated by all Americans.

Please take this opportunity to extend your congratulations to our friends in Arizona, express your gratitude for the courage and conviction of leaders like Governor Jan Brewer, and continue supporting the important work we do here at GOProud.

Pat Robertson says impeach Attorney General Eric Holder

Well, here Pat goes again.

Pat Robertson indicates more than once that Attorney General Eric Holder is encouraging state AG’s to not “uphold” or “abide” by their state’s laws.

What AG Eric Holder said was that state attorney generals are not required to defend laws that are found to be unconstitutional. And all of the attorney generals in question are doing just that. They are enforcing the laws of their states. But some have chosen to not DEFEND laws that they feel are unconstitutional.

There is an intellectual and legal difference.

But then, this IS Pat Robertson.

Ted Nugent “apologizes” for calling President “subhuman mongrel”

Ted Nugent appeared on the February 21 edition of WBAP’s The Ben Ferguson Show and offered a non-apology for his language when he called President Obama a “subhuman mongrel.”

Nugent says he was just using “metaphorical street language.”

Remember when the Dixie Chicks said they were “ashamed” by President Bush and received HUGE backlash?  Nugent calls our President “subhuman mongrel” and really doesn’t see anything wrong with it.

Pat Robertson on gay sex: “It’s not very pretty”

Discussing the topic of homosexuality (yet again), Pat Robertson told his viewers “when you see what they [gay people] do, it’s not very pretty.” Which does beg the question: why was Pat Robertson watching some gay guys get it on?

He also goes on to say that sex is for procreation; no gay sex or lesbian sex will ever create a child.

I do want Pat Robertson to know that I consider that a personal challenge, and that Michael and I are practicing as much as we can to prove him wrong.

Michigan: RNC member says gays want free healthcare because AIDS

Dave Agema

While speaking against marriage equality, Republican National Committee member Dave Agema said that gays want free healthcare benefits because they are dying of AIDS.

“Folks, they (gay people) want free medical because they’re dying (when they’re) between 30 and 44 years old,” he said. “To me, it’s a moral issue. It’s a Biblical issue. Traditional marriage is where it should be and it’s in our platform. Those in our party who oppose traditional marriage are wrong,” said Agema.

Equality Michigan has called on Republican leadership to denounce Agema’s remarks and is seeking his removal as a committeemember of the Republican Party. The organization is also encouraging the healthcare community to correct Agema’s remarks, saying they perpetuate a harmful stigma about people living with HIV.

“It is unconscionable that in 2013 a political figure in a prominent position would feel so comfortable spewing lies about real people in a pathetic attempt to deny fundamental rights to families in Michigan,” said Emily Dievendorf, Managing Director of Equality Michigan.

Earlier this year, Agema came under fire from members of his own party after he posted an excerpt on Facebook from an article titled “Everyone Should Know These Statistics On Homosexuals.”
Among the claims in the article by Dr. Frank Joseph is that gay people “account for half the murders in large cities” and that “part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle.”

Ben Carson: Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to America since slavery

Speaking at the Values Voters Summit, Ben Carson says Obamacare is the worst thing to happen to America since slavery.

Really??? The WORST thing since slavery?

What’s strange about all the hyperbole about Obamacare is conservatives LOVE the idea of people being responsible for themselves. So why wouldn’t they LOVE the idea of Obamacare?

Oh! I know! Because they like the idea of “other people” being responsible for themselves.

p.s. Obamacare is saving me $200 a month on my health insurance that I PERSONALLY pay for.  PLUS, as a cancer survivor, I can’t be kicked off my policy.  Just saying…

Florida radio host urges listeners to call Obamacare and take up time so others can’t sign up

“I am asking all of you who care about the future of this nation to simply do two things:

“1) Set aside some time to place a phone call to the official Obama Care Exchange Hotline (number below) . When you get someone on the line ask as many questions about Obama care that you can come up with. Take lots of time. If you can make at least three calls next week that will add up if thousands or even millions of us do it! This will be effective because if we overload the system with calls from those of us who do not want Obama Care, those seeking this entitlement will not be able to access it as easily thus generating further doubts about the entire program. Please be polite and just occupy as much of his/her time that you can!

“2) Please share this with as many friends as you can, social media, whatever source you can use to reach out to others who are not happy with this program! If you have any questions please feel free to call me at: 239-293-9701.” – WGUF-FM radio host Joe Whitehead

So if you hear reports that folks aren’t signing up for Obamacare, there’s one reason why. You’ve got kooks like this advocating tying up the phone lines so those who need healthcare can’t sign up.

By the way, the radio station’s phone number, should you care to call and make a comment, is 239-495-8383

Anti-gay crackpot Bryan Fischer: Hillary Clinton could be our first lesbian President

Bryan Fischer, of the certified hate group American Family Association, has already stated that Americans would never elect Hillary Clinton as president because she is simply “too old” and “too saggy.”

Now, he has a new reason to oppose Hillary – according to him, if Clinton should win, then she might be the “first lesbian president.”

Right Wing Watch has the details:

Fischer pointed to an interview between Gennifer Flowers and the UK-based Daily Mail in which she claims that Bill Clinton told her that Hillary is bisexual, and therefore it isn’t out of the question that she may be having an affair with aide Huma Abedin.

Since Fischer accepts pure speculation from whatever source as indisputable fact so long as it fits his agenda, it is no surprise that he now claims that “the bottom line is that if Hillary Clinton becomes president in 2016 she will not only be our first female president she could be our first lesbian president.”

Major broadcast company planning to drop Hannity and Limbaugh

In a major shakeup for the radio industry, Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is planning to drop both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations at the end of the year, an industry source told POLITICO on Sunday.

Cumulus has decided that it will not renew its contracts with either host, the source said, a move that would remove the two most highly rated conservative talk personalities from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets.

Pennsylvania Police Chief: “F*ck all you libtards out there”

Raw Story shares this story of Gilberton, Pennsylvania Police Chief Mark Kessler, who recently made news with anti-gay and profanity filled videos:

The mayor of Gilberton, Pennsylvania is standing by her city’s police chief despite a series of profanity-laced and threatening videos. In a video that has received wide attention, police chief Mark Kessler repeatedly tells those upset by his use of profanity to “go f*ck yourself” as he fires various automatic weapons.

Mayor Mary Lou Hannon told The Morning Call that Kessler had the right to express himself. The city would “not take action to quash free speech, whether or not each member of council or any member of council agrees with it.” Kessler has uploaded several profanity-laced videos to YouTube. In one video, Kessler berates “libtards” and warns of an armed rebellion against the government.

“F*ck all you libtards out there, as a matter of fact, read my shirt,” he says, turning around to show a message on his back which read, “Liberals take it in the a**.” “You take it in the ass and I don’t give a f*ck what you say so you can all just go f*ck yourselves. Period. I wont be going to D.C. and I don’t give a f*ck. If you f*cking maniacs want to turn this into an armed revolt, knock yourselves out. I’m not about that, so see you on the other side.”

If conservatives ever wondered why they get a bad name, they can thank folks like Kessler.  THIS is what represents the conservative movement.  This is what gets in the news and becomes the face of the GOP.  Congratulations.

The video below, where Kessler fires rounds of ammo into the air for no apparent reason but to appear tough (I guess) in between fits of saying “f*ck you”, has been monetized on YouTube and the comments disabled. So this is really just Kessler’s way to make money, by creating news and getting folks to click on his video.
