Pretty strange Christian fanatic bigot.

Let's see if he has a job in a while, and if he might just have to hire a defense attorney.

1. Guy looks like Pee Wee Herman.
Chris needs to get a restraining order, then sue the hell out of him.

2. The Guy Gives Me the Creeps
I can't define why...but he just seems slimy....besides being an all around jerk.

It will probably come out later that he is closeted.

30. No shit...We may not like to judge a book by it's cover, but
this guy is just plain weird; a slimy social idiot. Freedom of speech is being used to defame and harass people these days, abysmal. Mr. Creep should be given the boot and dragged into court.

3. That assistant DA kid is a psycho.
But I have to say that I find Anderson Cooper made it seem as thought this psycho is romantically obsessed with this kid. It's weird.

6. It reminds me of what Little boys do when they like a girl
Let's face it, he is clearly gay. Why doesn't he just come out of the closet right now and save us all some time.

7. Okay, I just watched the video. Come on, how gay is that guy.
He should really come out of the closet. I am sure he would be much happier and wouldn't have to harrass some guy who is openly gay because he is seething with jealousy. There are some people that you can look at and just know.....totally gay. He is definitely one of them. No question. I would love for somebody to ask him that line of questioning.

"That prosecutor looks gay, does he look gay to you?"

Why yes, now that you mention it, he does...

11. This grandma agrees with your wife!
Why is it that Republican closet gays have a the need to attack open gays??? There is something very disturbing about this guy. He looks and sounds as though if he can proclaim widely and openly that gays are fearful and dangerous that it will prove himself to be a heterosexual. It didn't work!

Edited on Wed Sep-29-10 12:23 PM by activa8tr
more dangerous than any gay man or woman student at a state university.

And that's what scares me, people like this, claiming to be "Christians" to justify their bigotry, This guy's "classic reaction formation", not just denial, but he has to wage a personal war on a popular and successful openly gay man at his alma mater.

What a sicko, not because he might be gay and in denial, but because he's offending and harrassing someone else in their private life.

13. It is kinda sad what society, Christian society, does...
to people...I agree 1000% this guy is more than likely gay & he feels he has to be as extreme as possible to show his Christian family & friends he is not gay...Who knows he could have been caught by his family before or outed somehow & now he is trying to prove everyone who might think he is gay that he is not...I don't know but he is CREEPY!!!!!

31. I don't think he's gay. At least I hope not; he would be giving gay
a bad name. I think the guy is a sociopath badly in need of counseling.

19. I didn't post this to get R's but thanks, and YES! This man is
a freaken basket case hiding his disphoria about his own sexual orientation behind the shield of religion.

This is why I have a problem with organized religion, sick people use it for everything from harassment to justifying murder to hiding their sexual orientation.

- And your reason is only ONE of the many, many, many reasons that I think religion is a form of mental cancer.

16. Another old lady with lots of experience in life who believes
there is a very good chance that Andrew Shervill may be gay. Why else would he be concerned about this matter at all? I did not know that alumni tried to participate in the student government of their alma maters in this way. Poor Andrew. He needs to get a life.

I'll bet that he has no children, few real friends and doesn't even like himself very much. I hope some really nice guy befriends him and they live happily ever after. Andrew deserves a better life than being a guilt-ridden wanna' be Christian. Jesus forgave sins. Andrew needs to feel forgiven for being born who he is. How sad.

22. Yes, I agree. I didn't mean to insinuate anything otherwise.
I actually like the DU crowd quite a bit and I am guilty of getting carried away more than many. Just wanted to recognize a nice post. :)

25. Didn't mean to insinuate either.... we ALL take our politics and philosophy
seriously here, wish Obama had actually performed miracles in 2 years, wish Kennedy were still alive and kicking as a Senator, wish the 60 vote majority we elected to the Senate had held for all of 2 years.

We have lots of reasons why we are not "happy campers" with what has happened since the 2008 election, but we cannot fault Obama, or our fellow Dems with such an horrific position we find ourselves in this fall.

27. Actually I do fault Obama to a degree
Maybe not him alone, but clearly the administration and the people that he has surrounded himself with led us to this point. Even now with the "Kick the Hippie" approach is mindboggling. It definitely seems like we went down so many roads that seemed very clearly avoidable and we are now paying the price. There really is no reason that we should be in this horrific potion that we are in, IMHO. As you said, there are lots of reasons we are not "happy campers", but I don't feel as though this was inevitable by any stretch of the imagination.

21. Here's what I think will happen...
I look forward to any lawsuits that student initiates, he's probably so smart and so caring about his studies and his fellow students, (who, by the way, don't give a crap if he's gay) that this young student is probably planning to ignore this harassment until AFTER he graduates and gets a job or grad school. That would be the wise course for the student, just do his thing and then later sue this attorney (and the attorney's church) out of house and home, and win a multi million dollar settlement.

23. HE sure looks like a homosexual
looks. I mean he has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, was wearing clothes, etc.

He reminds me of most of the extreme closet cases I've ever encountered. If I had to bet on it, I'd bet that Andrew Shirvell has a homosexual orientation. Of course I'm not saying that he IS a homosexual, just that if I had to bet, I'd take the bet that he is.

He's probably as sane and as straight as he appeared in the interview with Anderson Cooper.

;)
