Roy Moore Still Watches 'M*A*S*H,' Makes Him Mad About LGBTQ Rights.

WASHINGTON ― Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore went on a predictable tirade about sodomy and transgender people over the weekend. But in the midst of it, he made a stunning revelation: He still watches “M*A*S*H.” And it makes him angry about LGBTQ rights.

“You know, the LGBTQ-VRSTUV, I don’t know what it is – LGBTQ, when they first came out, I said, ‘Transgender? Never. That’s dumb,’” Moore said on Saturday at the Dekalb County Republican Breakfast Club in Fort Payne, Alabama, according to the conservative news blog Yellowhammer News.

“Do you know what transgender is? That’s not Biblical,” Moore continued. “And when men want to be women? I was watching ‘M*A*S*H’ the other day, talking about Korea, Vietnam ... talking about what’s his name, Klinger. He wanted to get out of the Army because they didn’t accept transgender. Now, I guess he would get a promotion.”

There’s a lot to unpack here. For starters, is “M*A*S*H” even on TV anymore? Great show, but the last episode aired in 1983. Is this 72-year-old guy up at 3:45 a.m. watching reruns on channel 680, cursing into the darkness about queer people? That’s sad!

Also, Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger’s character wasn’t transgender. He was a cisgender man who wore women’s clothes as a stunt to try to get a Section 8 discharge from the Army, a former designation for soldiers deemed mentally unfit for duty. His cross-dressing was the butt of jokes, and it had nothing to do with his actual sense of gender identity.

What’s truly dumb is that Moore ― an accused child molester and fired state Supreme Court Justice who has suggested that he supports slavery, that homosexual conduct should be illegal and who has fueled racist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama being born in Kenya ― is even a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

1. M.A.S.H. is on every day, I think it's on TVLand.

I watch it a lot. I agree with your post. Moore is an evil jackass.

2. I still watch M*A*S*H now and then ... no big surprise that Roy Moore would miss the point

I'm sure there's plenty in those old episodes to piss that sicko off.

3. Yep...age appropriate flirting, strong women, etc.

That kinda stuff just really pushes a guys buttons, ya’ know.

4. He kinda missed that Klinger isn't transgender. He's just trying to

get out of the army. He stops wearing drag in the final seasons.

5. And Moore plays dress-up by dressing like a cowboy

6. No, Roy, Klinger wore women's clothes for the same reason Donny had bone spurs.

If you can’t grasp that, don’t bother watching any more episodes because you won’t grasp anything else that’s going on.

7. Klinger did get promoted. He started a Cpl. and wound up a Sgt. in the later years after Radar left

Facts are real.
