Sorry if this is a dupe...but I am just sick and freaking tired of all of these talk show hosts spewing blind hatred to the masses!!

The following is from the OutInAmerica Networks:

RADIO HOST: GAY ADOPTION IS CHILD ABUSE
OIA Newsdesk




NEW YORK - Allowing gay couples to adopt is nothing short of state-sanctioned child abuse, according to radio host Janet Parshall.

During a discussion about the implications of the film "Brokeback Mountain" on CNN's "Larry King Live," Parshall referred to the adoption of children by same-sex couples as "state-sanctioned child abuse," and implied that the "lifestyle" of Matthew Shepard was partly to blame for his 1998 murder.

Opining on gay marriage, Parshall argued that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman, and that "everything else is a fraudulent misrepresentation."

She then asserted that allowing a gay couple to adopt constituted "state-sanctioned child abuse because you've purposely taken away either a momma or a daddy, and mom and dad are both necessary in a child's life."

Speaking about Shepard's death -- the result of severe injuries sustained during a violent beating at the hands of two men who, purportedly claiming to be gay, lured him from a campus bar at the University of Wyoming -- Parshall first asserted that she was not offering "a justification of what happened, because it was wrong, wrong, and wrong." She did suggest, however, that "there's a lot of questions about his background," and asked, "as he looking for trouble in all the wrong places?"

Parshall also told King that she was not at all surprised at the "buzz" surrounding "Brokeback Mountain" because "what we're witnessing, Larry, is the homosexualizing of America."

According to an article in American Outlook, the quarterly magazine of the conservative Hudson Institute, the "Janet Parshall's America" radio show reaches 3.5 million listeners five days a week. The show is syndicated by Salem Radio Network.

The Jan. 17 edition of CNN's "Larry King Live" featured a discussion that included Parshall, actor Chad Allen, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr., and former Mayor of Casper, Wyo., (Shepard's hometown) Guy Padgett III. <1/20/06>

1. I'm still heated over her display

on Larry King Live. :mad: I only caught the last 15 minutes of the live show but read her remarks on a few websites.
It's a sad state when people with her views have talk shows and radio shows.

2. Teaching hate is child abuse.

She sounds like a prime suspect.

3. So, all solo parents are child abusers according to Janet.

She should be locked up in a padded cell. She's a sociopathic monster. If she walked in front of my car, I'd have brake failure. :grr:

4. Isnt't she the wonderfully.....

open minded, thoughtful debater :sarcasm: who literally stuck her fingers in her ears and repeating, "I can't hear" while Randi Rhodes was making a point in a televised appearance on CSPAN????
Fucking crazy man!

5. Did Chad Allen smack her down?

6. Using that rationale - let's name some other forms of abuse...

She then asserted that allowing a gay couple to adopt constituted "state-sanctioned child abuse because you've purposely taken away either a momma or a daddy, and mom and dad are both necessary in a child's life."

You can get the same result (taking away either a momma or a daddy) by:

- Allowing divorces
- Sending a parent off to Iraq, particularly if they get killed
- Placing a parent in jail

And as far as divorces go, if the household has a physically abusive parent, and divorces are not allowed (because they would "take away" a momma or a daddy), and the parents are forced to live together, then by not allowing a parent to escape the situation, the state is sanctioning child abuse.

If the alternative is to force them to stay married, then the spouse would have to send the abusive parent to jail (or maybe both parents are abusers). Either way, that deprives the child of a parent, so that's state-sponsored child abuse.

If you allow them to divorce, and one parent hopefully is good for the child and gets custody, then you've deprived the child of a momma or daddy, so that's state sponsored child abuse.

Seems to me it's state sponsored child abuse no matter which way you look at it. And if the child was up for adoption, but because gay adoption was disallowed, through the fortunes of fate, that child never got adopted... would that not be state-sponsored child abuse?

What if you send a teenager off to die in Iraq without sufficient body armor? Now THAT strikes me a state-sponsored child abuse.
