1. Jesus, I wish I could ask if you're joking. I thought DUers were above that.
Crucify the asshole for for being a hypocrite, yes, that's the DU way. But for being homosexual? Not right.

I know your reason for lashing out at such posts (and I'm glad I haven't seen any of them). I'd be as angry as you if I had seen them, for the same reason.

Also, the quote I mentioned in GD came from George Michael. Don't shoot the messenger.

As for the GLBT community, insults work both ways. :think:

13. Really?
As for the GLBT community, insults work both ways.

Funny that! I don't see the gay community of DU making tons of disgusting threads about heterosexuals being caught with their pants down when it happens. And it does happen. SO because it works both ways, does this mean, this is what we need to do?

5. I wince everytime one of these episodes occur.
Be it Larry Craig, or Mark Foley, or whomever.

There's always this snickering crap beneath the surface around here...from some. And I don't think it necessarily has to do with the hypocrisy of Republicans.

It's surely not paranoia...because I see it...every...damn...time.

6. But, sniffa. He wanted to have sex in a BATHROOM.
Straight people would never even consider anything so disgusting.


:sarcasm:


With apologies to members of the Mile High Club.

11. Oh cmon, straight people never do anything wrong....
Every time something goes on with the hint of homosexuality <foley, superbowl snickers, haggard> to something as non sexual as the rove resignation some members of DU get the 'gay gigglies' and it just turns tacky as hell...

I just dont have the energy or care enough anymore to get involved with the ignorant b/s...


Im about ready to go into GD and post something to do with porn to get their little collective lizard brains(*) fixated on something else carnal...

(*)lizard brain, a reference to the most primitive part of our brains that deals and processes the most carnal and base emotions like sex..
