Face it Dan, you're a closet herterosexual.
I think he chose white so she wouldn't stand out against the snow when you train your hunting rifle on them.
If my husband buys me a Hermes' scarf is he gay?
Really just jumping all over ourselves in the stereotype pool aren't we.
I mean I hate everything she says and what she stands for but rilly, rilly with this..it's cheap.
They ARE "gifters and scumbags".. lets just leave it there.

If those two fuckers can dish it out - and they really dish it out and we reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly have no choice but take it year in and year from these assholes - then they better bend the fuck over and take it.
Marcus clearly Fs Shelly in the A just like Peter Allen F'ed Liza in A - yoke collar or no yoke collar.
We are NOT obligated to be more gracious than supremacist shitfaced snake oil selling whores.
Incidentally, nothing about Bachmann could be described as having 'snap'.
There's plenty of stuff to hate Bachman for (see Bill Maher's recent "Why People Hate Palin and Bachman" rant. Why the attacks on her husband? Especially this kind of attack on stereotypical queer male behavior?
My gaydar is broken at this point. If his cellphone goes off and "Born this way" is heard, I'll just assume he's an SNL plant.
Second, if he chooses a life of denial, it's his choice. I'm not saying the homophobic rhetoric and reparative therapy shenanigans aren't reprehensible. They are. But it's not productive to attack his personal choices as proxies for his homophobic agenda. Acting faggy doesn't really make him a hypocrite. You might even say it's consistent with his argument that a person can stuff ten pounds of gay into a five-pound sack if he wants to.
Whatevr. He may comport himself like a boob, but only the rhetoric needs to be called down.
After confessing your hot lustful desires for Rick Santorum on Maher's show have you heard from the Senator?
Will it be a threeway with Terri?
don't be stingy.....
The heinousness of how he's spent his life means that it's TOTALLY fair game to hit him where he lives, terrified of that queen within who's just dying to skip down that gay yellow brick road.
If you accept yourself for who you are, these kind of jibes would have no effect. Instead, try to imagine hating yourself so much that you spend your life trying to spiritually destroy other people.
To me, that dude needs to be reminded of who he is at every turn, not for vicious fun, but to spare his future clients and to offer him a hope for his own redemption (even though I personally don't think he deserves it).
Did you every notice? The insults that hurt you most are the ones that have truth in them.
accusing someone of being gay is an 'insult'?
And a curious thing: simply mentioning the stereotypes isn't bad. Dan isn't -- nor is anyone else -- that if Bachman has features frequent among gay people, then it's a bad thing. It's all in the implicit knowledge (that isn't being said in Dan's texts -- notice he's being careful with that) that, if someone has gay features, then that's bad.
In this case, one can point out that it's funny that an anti-gay guy should have stereotypical/frequent gay features in and of itself. One can very much be against all the implicit 'badness' of being gay while pointing this out.
Is this sufficient to justify Dan's approach, or are people still offended at what they see as his 'bullying'?
(Think of what you would say if Dan were providing some other circumstancial, non-conclusive-but-suggestive evidence of hypocritical behavior by some person -- say, that while they claimed to be honest, they did fraudulent things; or that they claim to be religious while doing things that go against their religion's tenets; and so on. How would you feel about Dan then?)
No, calling someone gay isn't inherently an insult.
Calling a socially dangerous closet-case nut job "gay" is merely naming the problem--the reason why he's devoted his life to damaging other people. The insult, in that case, is in the eye of the gay beholder.
I have no problem with his being gay. HE DOES. And he's devoted his entire life to suppressing it in himself and then in others.
Geesh.
He seems to believe that anyone, no matter how swishy or effeminate, can control themselves and function as a heterosexual.
His life seems to be a testimonial to the validity of his beliefs.
And his work seems to be a natural for someone with his experiences and beliefs.
How are his life's experiences and the conclusions he draws from them any less valid than the conclusions Dan draws from his life?
Why is Dan's anecdotal take on homosexuality any more valid than Bachmann's?
Why is Dan free to bully and force HIS view of homosexuality on others but Bachmann is condemned for offering counseling that reflects his beliefs and experiences?
That level of denial isn't just unhealthy, it's pathological. Rendering his lack of integrity and self-hatred a "lifestyle choice" is just an absurd argument.
And what is Dan "forcing" on anyone by disagreeing and mocking? That argument's equally absurd. If you don't agree with him, disagree or stop reading him altogether.
A lot of Christian men are kind of invested in a non-macho persona - the whole gently avuncular thing that comes with feeling like the Lord has all the power, you're just here to witness, etc. I think M.B. is caught up in all that. If I had to guess, I'd say he's basically straight - at most he's a straight-identified bi in denial.
Of course, I am just guessing. And he's still a douche - no argument there.
Yes, sure, absolutely.
Crazy eyes is dangerous. And Gross.
And will someone please tell these broads that Hillary OWNS the pantsuit, to please switch it up a bit.
