22. Homophobic?

How is this either hateful, fearful or distrustful.

[Android3.14]

31. Good jury

Homophobic nonsense.

29. Ohhhh kay it's not just me, then. I am having a bad feeling about this.

I'm getting the idea from these tweets that those idiots under the tarp and so forth are being mocked as "gay" -- i.e. the tweets are putting them in homosexual "sexual situations" in order to tease, mock, debase, and snark at them, because the take away is supposed to be "gay = bad." They're not "manly." They're idiots because they're gay, or they're idiots AND they're gay....but there's GAY up in there, and it's in there to make fun of them.

Or am I missing something here?


I'm not happy with this line of argument being praised here, but I've been in the minority a lot, lately.

[pintobean]

39. I agree

And the double standard here sickens me. Apparently, it's acceptable to use gay as an insult because they're RWNJ assholes.

[MADem]

40. I don't like the sheer meanness of it all. Might shouldn't make right in a Democratic venue.

"We're in the majority, so we can make fun of you/mock you/deride you--and there ain't shit you can do about it."

Ugh. That's the vibe I've been seeing on occasion. And not just with this sector of our community.

We should try to be a bit more mindful of one another, and at least stick to issues, and not personal human traits, or even associations--it's just UNKIND. And it is unnecessary too.

To say nothing of the fact that it makes us look like hellacious hypocrites!

[pintobean]

45. It makes it look like we're the rednecks.

We're acting like we would expect them to act.

[MADem]

46. Yes, precisely. Mean, hateful, insulting, INTOLERANT, and cruel/mocking.

It sickens me when I see this kind of stuff.

It's not just the gay community that gets this kind of shit, either. It's a shame.

So much for the "Live and let live" attitude we "smarter people" are supposed to adopt.

Hashtag "disappointment" as the kids would say....

[Ken Burch]

33. They did vote to hide the post.

Granted, it's a bit disturbing that the vote was only 4-3.

[MADem]

41. This whole thread is problematic. IMO. nt

[MineralMan]

42. I agree. I doubt that the OP would get hidden,

but a later post did.

[MADem]

43. When DUers gleefully pile on and cause hurt to members of their own community, that just sucks.

It's so fucking unnecessary, too. Pardon my french....

[MineralMan]

44. Making fun of right wingers is a good thing.

Using an oppressed group as a way of doing so isn't how it should be done, though. I think this was a bad, unfunny way to go, altogether.

[MADem]

47. +1,000! nt

[ehrnst]

50. I thought that the humor lies in the fact that they are in reality homophobic and ammosexual

and that the language in the tweets is right out of bodice rippers.

[LynneSin]

7. "I can't quit you Ammon.....oooo wait snacks!!!"

[Xyzse]

19. ROFLMAO

Priceless.

[AwakeAtLast]

54. DUzy!

13. I shouldn't laugh but this stuff is funny

They spooned on the camo sleeping bag. Zeke playfully tousled Ted’s hair while he read aloud from the field guide (1/2) #bundyeroticfanfic

This #bundyeroticfanfic tweetstorm makes me wish there were Twitter Pulitzers. http://buff.ly/1ZaGW3c


Lots of TOONS:
The #BundyBunch was spotted this morning, foraging for snacks.

34. I'm in my cubicle at work

trying not to giggle uncontrollably - and failing. Poor Gratitude (the Bundy family goat)

[KamaAina]

35. How far is Malheur from Brokeback Mountain, anyway?

[KamaAina]

36. This will fit nicely into the Decemberists' repertoire

all their songs are about historical events.

[blondie58]

37. No wonder I like that group much

Yes, very clever, almost genius tweets.

48. Gay jokes are cool as long as they lampoon people we don't like.

Because being gay is bad or something...or maybe sometimes...must be situational.

[ehrnst]

49. I think that the humor comes from these guys being homophobic (and ammosexual)

if they were not homophobic, there would not be any humor in the tweets.

51. Brokeback Bundy?
