so?

while i think Perry is a idiot so are you for posting that.

I thought it was sort of funny....while in the course of one of the most blatantly homophobic public acts in recent memory the man was dressed like one of the most recognizable openly homosexual characters of the last decade....I mean I don't really frequent the P&N forums much so if I just fell for a trolling well...yeah...

I'm actually really confused by all the furor around this video. I'm 100% for gay rights, but this video doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as everyone in this thread made it out to be. I was actually kind of disappointed when I watched it as I was expecting a comedic gold mine! :p

I guess you could take what appears to be his dislike for the repeal of Don't Ask - Don't Tell as homophobic, but I'm not sure if I see it that way. It seems the only stupid remark in the entire video is how he made a segue from the repeal of Don't Ask - Don't Tell and not allowing children to pray during school to being a "war against religion."

Although, amusingly enough... the high school that I went to had regular prayer meets one day a week. However, I believe the restrictions on these were the exact same as any other extracurricular activity as they had to occur before or after school hours (I believe the prayer meets were at 7:30AM).

So we're not longer allowed to wear clothes worn by gay people?

Somewhere out there, some gay guy is wearing the same clothes as you. His name is Macamus Prime :awe:

Neither of those guys is actually gay. They just played homosexuals in a movie. Unfortunately, Rick Perry really is that stupid. He isn't just playing an idiot on television.

If Rick Perry doesn't like a gay guy taking a bullet from him, does he realize he's letting them prepare his food/drinks, teach his children, or operate on his body?

If he hates gays so much, why the heck does he single out gay people fighting in the military? That's like the last place if you were homophobic, you could give two shits about the location of gay people.

TV GOLD: Rick Perry on the next episode of "Queer eye for the straight guy". That would be classic.

I'm certainly not defending some of the Republican talking points, but what you're saying here is what I don't understand. Where are you getting this from? To the best of my knowledge, Don't Ask - Don't Tell doesn't say that homosexuals cannot serve in the military, but that they can't serve openly in the military.

I took his commercial to mean this: "Hey... they're opening new avenues for homosexuals, but restricting us religious people! That's not fair!"

I thought the deal was straight up - no gays in the military. If they find out you are gay, you are out. The simpsons made reference to this in an episode where skinner needs to get out of the army. Bart says "just make a pass at your commanding officer" :D

That jacket is associated with gay. Even more so now (and ever) that Rick is causing such a huge stink.

He could have just left it as "Obama's war on religion" and that's it. But, he had to pick at a pretty couragious act of serving in the military and how one chooses to represent themselves - which in case most of you have missed it; honestly. Representing themselves honestly. No lies. No cover ups.

Proudly standing up and saying; "I will die for my country". Yet, we as a people have a problem with that very brave person stating he/she is gay?

Now, should there be shame when someone state's Merry Christmas? Yes - if you direct it to someone who is Jewish or not even a Christian. THAT is what shitheads and xenophobic trash views as a "war" on Christianity. When people consciously say Happy Holidays,... because the reality is, not everyone is Christian!

I don't remember ANYONE getting punched in the face or placed in prison for wishing someone a Merry Christmas. You do look pretty fucking stupid and arrogant if you insist on using Merry Christmas towards non-Christians. And, local governments will do their best to accomodate and acknowledge all religions and their respective celebrations.

Just because Christianity isn't the ONLY one accomodated and acknowledged for doesn't mean it's a fucking war on Christianity.

But, cock sucking closet cases like Perry love playing the part of a poor victim being attacked for wanting to worship Christ. No one is coming after you. Muslims aren't invading the USA (they are frankly invited here, what with your Christian business men hiring them for cheap labor). Jews aren't trying to wipe away your "purdy" American Christian codes (even if they did, you aren't smart enough to fucking resist?). And most importantly, the only gay agenda comes from someone like Perry; a homosexual trying real desperately to pass as a conservative hardline heterosexual - the jacket is a fucking Fruedian slip.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when Strong Men can't wear metro-sexual clothing and enjoy a fabulous lifestyle, while Obasco Humus Fartbongo can wear fancy suits and eat fancy mustard all the live long day...

I’ll end Obasco’s war on metrosexual clothing. And I’ll fight against liberal attacks on our fabulous lifestyle. Faith made America strong - and Faith Hill made me hard. And if being hard is wrong - then I never want to be right. I’m Rick Perry and I approve this message, and I'm hard.​

What about the blacks? Word has it they want our white women. You're slipping.
