Which major evangelist lives with the agony of repressed homosexuality?

[Fridays Child]

Pat Robertson? Jerry Falwell? James Dobson?

(Just test-driving a headline, here, made in the right wing media mold.)

:evilgrin:

[Vincardog]

1. ALL OF THEM. Which of the current mis-administration is? ALL OF THEM

[smirkymonkey]

25. That would be my answer.

Every male Bible Thumper I have ever met has been a raging closet case (not just my opinion, but consesus).

[Initech]

2. Um........... all of the above?

For the record. ANYONE as far to the right as Falwell, Robertson, or Dobson is hiding a very deep and very dark secret. I'm an armchair psychiatrist, but still...

[cspanlovr]

3. They do love those loaded questions. I'd say all of them.

[Swede Atlanta]

4. As a self-respecting "out" homosexual man..........

I hope none. Yikes, I wouldn't want to claim any of them. But I agree those who are most vehemently homophobic usually have skeletons "in the closet" (pun intended).

[Fridays Child]

14. Ooga booga! RW fundies are scared of you!

I'm paraphrasing here but, speaking at the Y2K Millennium March for Equality, Patricia Ireland responded to some wing nut's assertion that homosexuality was a form of terrorism by saying that she wanted to walk into the U.N. Security Council and say, "Nobody move! I've got a couple of gay men here and I'm not afraid to use them!"

I nearly died laughing!

[sakabatou]

34. LMAO

[melody]

5. They live with the agony of repressed humanity, I think

I don't think they're human enough to have anything more than the most rudimentary sexual awareness.

[Howardx]

6. Paul Crouch

n/t

[mcscajun]

7. A Big vote for Pat Robertson.

IF I can only pick One, that is. :)

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but there's Plenty wrong with self-righteous hypocrisy. All three are FULL of That particular trait.

[blogslut]

8. hmmmm

maybe this guy?



PS: He is the one on the left ;)

[LSparkle]

26. BINGO! Ding-ding-ding, we have a winner ...

[Fridays Child]

28. Is that a drag queen next to that guy?

Ye gods!

[KingFlorez]

9. Every single one

Why do they think they are so obsessed with the subject?

[Smarmie Doofus]

10. Seems more likely they're living with the agony of ....

... repressed *heterosexuality*.

Don't heteros ever do *anything* wrong?

[LiberalArkie]

11. I would go with Paul Couch.. although everyone knows that

Karl Roves dad (Louis Rove) was gay.

[seabeyond]

12. dobson. my niece got his book. i took away and made it to page 2

the first couple pages was a letter to son going off to college and so sachrine and false could hardly read. then first paragraph giving the statistics and introduction to the man said "and he is a real mans man". i stopped right there. i busted up laughing. i am in a family of testostrone driven males. i know the mans man. lived with them all my life. i cannot imagine a one of them declaring to the world they are mans man. the whole purpose of the mans man is not having to tell all that is what you are

any man that feels the need to declare it,.... is NOT

[Fridays Child]

19. Is that the book where he says men should get in the shower with...

...their sons and have penis chat?

As for his "man's man" comment, I agree with you. Methinks he doth protest too much!

[seabeyond]

35. isnt that sick. i cannot imagine a man using his penis to intimidate

and let him know who the "man" is with his son. sick. i dont know. as i said that was page two, i couldnt get any further. maybe sometime i will try

[mwdem]

13. Jimmy Swaggert...he's always crying, still.

Oh, wait, you said major evanjelist.

[Parisle]

15. Okay..................

---- Is Ralph Reed no longer considered a "major evangelist?"

[LiberalArkie]

16. Nah, just a politician want to be...

But.. You know the people who are always scared of being robbed, tend to be tapping the til.
People who think everyone is lying to them, tend to be liers.
People who keep trying to prove how macho they are tend to be the biggest bullys.
And I might add it seems to be the ones who think that gays are the scum of the earth tend to "hid in closets"

[Straight Shooter]

17. Dobson the dog-beater.

He projected his self-hatred onto the dog. That's why he beat the dog into submission, trying to beat down his true feelings. He uses words to beat people down, too.

For anyone who hasn't heard of this, the story of how big James Dobson beat a poor little dog into "behaving," it's in Dobson's book. The man is sick, and not because of repressed homosexuality. He's just plain sick.

[tanyev]

18. I've always wondered about Tim LaHaye.

[Fridays Child]

27. He does have a certain...

...Liberace-esque demeanor, eh?

[xchrom]

20. none -- they just hate us. period.

they belong to straight folks.

stop trying to throw your trash this way.

[Fridays Child]

23. My trash??? That is a needlessly offensive remark.

I'm well aware that they hate gays. That's why the issue is effective as satirical condemnation of the media, which was the only point of my post.

And you are dead wrong in your assertion that "they belong to straight folks" because, if they hate you, they hate me, too. Period.

Peace

[xchrom]

36. think how offensive it is when people keep trying to make them gay!

on edit -- that would be you.

[Fridays Child]

38. Hello. This wasn't about you.

It was about the media.

sheesh :eyes:

[Touchdown]

43. Yes it was.

and about me, him, her, Harvey Firestein, and every other gay person in the world who knows that bigotry is just bigotry, and not some secret overcompensation bullshit constantly being pushed on this board rather prejudicely.

I can do that too. :eyes:

[pretzel4gore]

21. Falwell is a masturbator....

or he was 20 years ago, during the reagan era. president reagan's son ron was a known liberal (in fact, due to ron junior's interest in ballet, there were rumours ron was gay - which never got far, being as he was the son af ronnie, and busheviks, who are the only ones who'd persecute someone for their private preferences, are notorious cowards!)...anyway, ron junior had a talk show (surely someone remembers it) and ron loved to represent the liberal viewpoint, and his show was a great thing to watch - though stuck away at midnight om fridays, i believe it was....jerry falwell was a guest, along with 'james caan'(?) or was it 'james farantino'? there were 2 other guest besides jerry. jerry began saying sex was bad and soon, when ron suddenly asked him if HE masturbated, and falwell, after trying to change subject and blah blah finally was forced to admit he did!
it was hilarious.
due to time restraints, the 3 'liberals' who were enjoying that fakey jackass's discomfort were never able to point out masturbation is sinful, and deserving of eternity in hell etc...

[Fridays Child]

24. Now, THAT'S a clip that should be on YouTube!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

41. eeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww wwwwwwwwww

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

22. Doesn't the gay community have enough problems?

... without adding these in?

[Crunchy Frog]

29. You should do a poll.

My answer would be "all of them". I'd say it's in direct proportion to how much they talk about the evils of homosexuality.:evilgrin:

[Fridays Child]

31. I would say...

...you're right.

[geniph]

30. Well, obviously it's ORAL Roberts, silly!

aka Blow-Job Bob!

[Fridays Child]

33. I used to live within view of ORU, a college campus...

...steeped in phallic symbolism...

[Imagevision]

32. Pat Robertson? Jerry Falwell? --umm... that's a tough one, both I'm sure

[WinkyDink]

37. Which doesn't?

[Touchdown]

39. None. They're on YOUR TEAM, not ours.

Sometimes bigotry is just bigotry. It brings in the dough from the mouth breathers. They hate gays because they're obsessed with this ...

Any questions?

[Fridays Child]

40. Questions? You bet. What is my team? And do you know me?

I agree with you about the money but, as for the "YOUR TEAM" remark, that's about as wrong as Hogan's goat.

[Touchdown]

42. Didn't know Hogan had a goat.

They're all straight men. They do this for money, not because they're secretly gay.

Do you believe all KKK members are black too? It's nothing but bigotry on the liberal side to assume that every homophobe is gay. Saves you from actually trying to understand them, which isn't hard. It's about money and power, as it always is, and nothing else.

[Bluebear]

44. They despise us & fight against our rights. Why would they be gay?

[tinfoilinfor2005]

45. None. Have you seen how they dress?

Puh-leeze. Not one drop of good taste in those genes.

Nope. They are just scam artists and money grubbers. And they will use anything that sells to fill their coffers, be it hatred of gays or women or race or...each other.
