Lynne Cheney's "Outrage"
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 08:27 AM by SkipNewarkDE
Pardon the vulgarities in this post, but I am steamed.

Last night, during the presidential debates, the topic turned to the Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between a man and a woman. Senator John Kerry again invoked the name of Vice President Cheney's daughter, Mary Cheney, speculating what she must feel in regards to writing discrimination into the Constitution, a move by our President to bypass the actions of activist judges.

Lynne Cheney, after the debate, was visibly angry, as she described Kerry as being a terrible man, for politicizing her daughter in regards to this issue. Invoking her daughter's name across party lines to argue his position, using her family member, was despicable.

Listen, what is probably more despicable is your fuckwad husband sitting by while his Commander In Chief shits on his daughter by wanting to modify the Constitution to suit some agenda of the religious right. Cheney knew he couldn't say a fucking thing during the vice presidential debates when his daughter's name was invoked, and merely thanked John Edwards for the nice things he said about what a good father Cheney was, and that he loved his gay daughter.

Face it, Lynne, you and your fucking husband are nothing but appeasers for the religious right, and you are supporting this shit not because of your love for your daughter and her lifestyle, but because you are lame-ass political opportunists, the whores of the worst kind. The only thing that is so awful and terrible about John Kerry pointing out that you have a lesbian daughter, is the fact that you are a bunch of fucking hypocrites who don't have the balls to make a stand on this issue, but would rather sell your dyke daughter up politically. You are a terrible parent.

The fact that your fucking daughter essentially sells up her own "people," if you will by being complacent to this bullshit from the administration, and indeed participates in the reelection of her father, is pretty fucking sick, too. She's a big fucking whore, too, but then the "fruit" doesn't fall very far from the tree... look at the example she had to follow in her parents.

2. I would seriously edit out the c-word, if I were you.
"See U Next Tuesday" is a major bone of contention around here.

9. Righto -
At any rate, the repukes abused Chelsea Clinton without mercy for eight years. If they can't take the heat, they should stay the fuck outta the kitchen. Fuck 'em all.

6. It is important to note the context in which Mary Cheney's name was
brought up. Kerry was asked whether homosexuality was an inherited trait or was an acquired trait.Kerry, correctly believes that it is an inherited trait.Because of this, he made the argument that we have an obligation to treat people with respect even if our belief that marriage is an act between a man and a woman.This was the context in which Kerry mentioned Mary Cheney's name.

12. Cheneys response
I don't think it was inappropriate for Kerry to bring a real person into the discussion. Wasn't Mary in some kind of gay rights position for Coors brewery in Colordado? So she has publicly acknowledged her sexuality. I don't think Kerry should have put words into her mouth, saying if you asked her, she would say such and such. He should have qualified it with "she might say.." or something like that. It's one thing to bring her up, it's another to put words in her mouth on a topic she's never addressed.

7. Don't hold back now, say what you really feel
That was fun to read. You are of course correct. The despicable action, or more appropriately inaction, is the VP and his family sitting back while his party attacks his daughter's inherent right to a spousal relationship. I don't feel the same anger toward his daughter that you do. I feel badly for her. She didn't ask to have homophobic shitheads for parents, but she seems to be playing the hand she was dealt.

15. Mary is a pawn in this?
I did, at first, feel sorry for Mary Cheney. But when I heard that this miserable sellout had taken an active role in her father's reelection, I was digusted. What kind of self-loathing individual would do tihs? This is as rotten as David Brock, pre-conversion, wallowing in the belly of the beast because of the power trip it gave him.

22. A self-loathing individual who will inherit Billions!

Mary Cheney and her lovely partner, Heather Poe, stand to inherit half of all that Iraq oil money for our soldiers are dying, as soon as father's heart gives out, which could be any second.

Halliburton's billions are heading her way.

Mary Cheney could possibly care less about the consequences of her Father's political actions would have on the lives of other GLBT Americans,--0r for that matter, any American in general.

Mary Cheney, like her Father is a bald faced liar. During the 2000 Campaign, Mary Cheney assured GLBT audiences that the Republican Party had no intention of making same sex marriage an issue.

(Incidentally, I will never understand the censorship on this Message Board regarding the word "Cunt". "Dick", "Prick", "Cock" are constantly used. I've never read anyone trying to stop others from using these words. Isn't, in light of acceptance of derogatory male words, the censorship of the female equivalent "Sexist"? Doesn't it imply that women are frail, fragile creatures who can't handle what men hear on a daily basis and therefore deserve special treatment?)

11. Apologies
I don't have it in me to argue the merits or lack thereof of the C-word, so I edited it. The sentiment remains, though, the woman is despicable, the lowest of lows.

16. Derogatory Terms...
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 08:42 AM by SkipNewarkDE
One can bitch about my use of mysogynistic terms to describe my utter contempt for Lynne Cheney, and indeed, the connotation of the c bomb that I dropped in my original post is supposed to evoke the incredible contempt. I changed it because of the "outrage" it caused with some of the posters.

But guess what? Lynne Cheney is beneath fucking contempt, as is that entire family for being complacent in that issue. Buck it up, kiddies, the reason vulgarities have their impact is BECAUSE of the connotations we give them, and such a strong, vile word, something I would never dream of calling someone, fits this appeaser and her rotten family to a T.

I am tired of being a "nice," politically correct liberal. You start fucking with me, my rights, and discriminating against me, I am going to come back at you like a cornered pit bull, and I will rip your throat out. Screw being nice, screw being politically correct, this is war.

18. ((applause))
As much as I loathe the "c word," I have used it while ranting against Ann Coulter and Katherine Harris. They shame the entire female gender.

20. Hear, hear! I heartily agree that Lynn Cheney is the abuser here.
Her pretend outrage is absolutely nothing but a political ploy to again gain partisan advantage by exploiting her own daughter's sexual orientation. She's a detestible bottom-feeder - corrupt and abominable.

24. How About "Slime"?
Lynne Cheney is an academic fraud and a slimy creature. No gender bashing, there. Just the truth.

She has a Ph.D.! No kidding. I have a friend that researched her thesis. The peer group and advisor must have been on the take. I've seen high school term papers that were better written and based upon better analysis.

Unbelievable that this woman got through her first semester of college let alone all the way to a Ph.D. She's a fraud of the first order. Got the credentials just to get the job but didn't learn a thing along the way.

If she's outraged, i'm glad. Here's hoping she ruptures a blood vessel.

19. Noting that Mary's a lesbian
would elicit a reaction on a par with mentioning that she's ambidextrous, if weren't for the likes of Mama Cheney.

I wish a reporter/pundit had the brass to ask her if she enjoys making the country a more unwelcoming and dangerous place for her daughter.

23. The "lady" doth protest too much, methinks. . .
considering that she herself has written a racy novel about lesbian love in the Wild Wild West.

Talk show host Randi Rhodes loves to read passages from that book, BTW.

I'm sorry, but Lynne Cheney is a hypocritical c**t.

25. Is Lynn offended because her daughter was born gay?
Is she taking it personally? Kerry didn't say anything offensive about Lynn's daughter and I challange her to give ONE example of how Kerry insulted her. To say that she was born gay and didn't choose to be gay is no more insulting than saying that Lynn didn't choose to be heterosexual.
