Miss Beverly Hills (not!): Gays should be killed
(video: Countdown with Keith Olbermann)
Christianist skank, advocate of murdering the gays, pathological liar and social climbing attention whore, Lauren Ashley, gets her (all too mild) comeuppance from MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann and Dan Savage.
Dan Savage and Keith Olbermann comment on Brit Hume’s suggestion that Tiger Woods take advantage of Christianity’s Get of Adultery Free card
(video: Countdown with Keith Olbermann)
From the transcript:
OLBERMANN: Wow. When the brakes of political correctness are applied on you by Don Imus, you’re in trouble. But let me start with the premise. Being Christian is the best religion for adulterers because you can be forgiven, and we have lots of many fine examples of that, I suppose.
SAVAGE: We do — Mark Sanford, John Ensign, David Vitter. What’s hilarious about it is there’s Brit Hume on Fox News suggesting that people should be Christians or adulterous straight men should be Christians not because Jesus is the way and the light, not because Jesus is the Son of God, not because it is the one true religion, but because it offers the best deal. It gives you the get-out-of-adultery-free card that other religions just can’t. That seems like an insult to Christianity, as my mother would point out if she were still alive.
The Christian right’s steno pool (here, there and everywhere) is having a collective (holy) cow!
In other gay news: straight Americans are comfortable with gay and lesbian elected officials writing the law, voting on the law, and enforcing the law. They just don’t think gay and lesbian Americans should be equal under the law. Not yet anyway. Check back in a few decades.
