So Dan-o-
Set me straight-
where did I get it wrong?

Ugh. Why did I read that? Now I'm agitated.... he really can't see the difference, can he?

I saw Milk this weekend, and one of things that really struck me was that it made me feel just a touch empathetic with the older folks (older than, say, 60) who lived in this culture where gays were treated and viewed as completely sub-human. It's not surprising that so many ended up thinking that gays are immoral, not deserving of “rights”, etc. (Though, reading this screed from Pat Boone has eroded most of that empathy…)

The movie also made me hopeful, though, because those people are going to die. Soon. Every day another old-school homophobe dies and is replaced by someone growing up in an environment where it is no big deal to be gay, where people do not see any reason whatsoever why gays and straights should be thought of or treated any differentially.

"Hate is hate, no matter where it erupts. And by its very nature, if it's not held in check, it will escalate into acts vile, violent and destructive."

Huh...kinda like with this... http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archive… ...?

So, to paraphrase:
"Well, sure they aren't technically committing "violence" or "murder" like those people in Mumbai, and in fact they are engaged in lawful, constitutionally-protected protest, but the point is, they're angry, exactly like I imagine those terrorists in Mumbai were. And we should all be very concerned. History shows that angry people were present during many of our darkest hours."

Classic. Punch somebody in the nose and then criticize them for getting angry. Top it all off with a dollop of Christian victimization, delivered by the guy who achieved fame by singing "Tutti Frutti."

I think he has overly stimulated Temporal Lobes.

Where do I order my sexual jihadist t-shirt?

"To them, there is only one acceptable worldview – a theology they intend to enforce on all humankind...I'm referring to the anger, the vehemence, the total disregard for law and order and the supposed rights of their fellow citizens. I'm referring to the intolerance, the hate seething in the words, faces and actions of those who didn't get their way"

He's absolutely right. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Oh. You mean he's not talking about right-wing Christians?

Angrysauce.

Too bad Jessica Corbin,http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co…, is related to this nutcase.

Give this man his due; long before Justin Timberlake merely sang about putting his dick in a box, Pat Boone actually put his dick in a box:

How about a Sexual Jihadists Advent Calendar, eh?

I thought Little Richard sang "Tutti Frutti", @4.

Oh, I get it. Little Richard didn't become famous for singing his own song - it took a white-guy-so-bland-he-makes-vanilla-seem-exotic to turn a "race record" into a bona fide hit.

Yeah, that makes me want to take him sooo much more seriously...

He'll die of old age soon enough, along with many others who actually think just like him.

Sexual jihad? Yes, please.

To #1:
If *I* get it straight, you are saying those that rebel against the law are intolerant and criminal-minded because only good and decent laws are passed, right?
Can you explain how the suffragists, the Northerners (and plenty of Southerners, too) who fought against slavery throughout the 19th Century, and the civil rights demonstrators of the 1960s AREN'T terrorists, too?
Also, it's D-E-G-E-N-E-R-E-S, you irrelevant hypocrite.

I hope when this old fart finally hits the bowels of hell, he's tormented by the spirits of all the black performers he ripped off in his so-called career.

I am not surprised.

This is the guy who tried to pray away the gay and the AIDS from Rock Hudson AFTER HE DIED.

This is true and was written about at the time.

Pat actually thought that Rock's dead toes were starting to get warm again.

If we're going to start attributing the acts of the few to the entire cause, then I'd like to know how he and his kind explains abortion clinic bombings. Much worse than anything that's occured as a result of prop. 8. That whole article is swimming in irony.

DICK IN A BOX. DICK IN A BOX. DICK IN A BOX. DICK IN A BOX.
