Jason Eckelman commented on Owner of Village Green Nursery Regrets Friday's Michelle Shocked Performance.

I don't know Vera or Miranda, nor have I ever been to either of their establishments. Having said that, I would like to point out that Michelle Shocked has taken to her twitter feed in the time since her show in Seattle to imply that Miranda did not pay her rent last month (and that it is still owing), to question how much money Miranda raised in her queer youth benefit, and to suggest that Miranda is going to use some or all of that benefit money to pay said outstanding rent. Michelle Shocked is not trying to have a "loving conversation" or "start a dialogue" or what the fuck ever. She is a hateful asshole who will literally libel anyone who refuses to give her a platform to proselytize for her repulsive fundamentalist faith and demean gay marriage. There isn't a controversy or another side to the story with her. The rumors are true. She's a horrible person, period.

Jason Eckelman commented on Ben Weasel Hates Me Because I Misinterpreted His Lyrics When I Was 15.

@34 - Yeah, that's fucking ridiculous. This shit: "security failed at their job to let her antagonize him, and she was very immature, as was Ben" is nonsensical false equivalency. Why don't you just say she had it coming and get it over with? To say they were both "acting immature" is completely bananas. The woman was acting "immature", and BW was acting like a psychopath. If a professional musician can't deal with shade from the audience in any other way but by punching them in the face, it's way past time to pack it in. Also, "Many of America's revolutionaries have been homophobic and misogynistic." Really? What the hell does that have to do with anything? And this doesn't make any sense: "He's not relevant to me today". Then why go out of your way to defend him with this 3-comment long crock of horseshit? Sweet Mary & Joe.

This story is on Talking Points Memo! WOW! Go Stranger. Not only did you scoop every "legitimate" news desk in this city, you're getting nationally recognized for it. Awesome~

Jason Eckelman commented on Mitt Romney Demands an Apology from President Obama.

Ho-lee shit. He's even more petulant and entitled than Dubya was. This whole multi-channel media offensive ultimately boils down to "How dare you question me?". Obama is going to mop the floor with this guy. The debates this fall are going to be a scream.

Jason Eckelman commented on Romney Booed at NAACP Convention.

@37 Word. @33 He doesn't want to pay any taxes. It's, sadly, as simple as that. He's happy to be held in open contempt and used as a boogeyman by the politicians he supports as long as he doesn't have to pay any taxes. Greed warps the mind, apparently.

Jason Eckelman commented on Latrice Motherfuckin' Royale Was Motherfuckin' Robbed.

@26 - Fair enough. I was talking about watching it online (it goes up on Logotv.com at 12 am following the regular cable broadcast). A lot of people can't get Logo with their cable plans, or just don't have cable, so we have no choice but to wait until Tuesday to see it. You're right that it's just a show, though. I probably could have done without saying Dan ruins everything. Eep.

What is wrong with you? Half the damn city waits till Tuesday to watch the show 'cause none of us have Logo. Why do you have to ruin everything? Jesus

Jason Eckelman commented on State GOP Budget Continues War on Women and Children.

@12 This isn't a debate. As @10 said, this isn't an intellectual exercise. These attacks on a woman's reproductive freedoms are curtailments of her liberty and agency. These issues are deadly serious, and whether or not you are turned off by the tone of the discussion is completely irrelevant. And, at any rate, you don't sound like you particularly care about any of it, and are using this preoccupation with tone as an excuse to dimiss this discusion altogether.

Their version of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why I Love You". Chills, people, chills.

Jason Eckelman commented on Obama Brings It.

@29 - I agree. I don't know if it's solely the desire to beat him that causes the "fantasy Obama" situation, though. Part of it is racism, I suppose, but I think a more important part is that Republicans are not going to allow Democratic Presidents to govern as Democrats anymore. They pulled this same shit with Clinton, only that time instead of a Kenyan Socialist Tyrant, we were treated to visions of a criminal mastermind, running drugs and hitmen (!) out of the Arkansas governor's mansion. Whatever they have to do to make the actual work of governing impossible, they will do. When they don't win, they obstruct everything, gin up scandals, and grind the wheels of government to a halt. They're completely corrupt.
