Is there ANYTHING more predictable then this story?

What is predictable, is teabagger-fundies continue to believe they have the ability to judge somebody’s commitment to their faith and family, simply through cheap rhetoric and written statements on campaign websites.

my thoughts exactly…
i would be more surprised if it DID NOT happen on a regular basis..

you want to shock me? show me a charitable, selfless, honest and generous Christian..
that will be a surprise..

When will these guys start buying American?

There are tens of millions of them, smarty pants. They would NEVER get the media’s attention in a positive way, though. Even Tim Tebow, who has given and raised millions to serve the poor (building a hospital, fighting AIDS, etc.) AND has helped put an awful NFL team into playoff contention, gets castigated for displaying anything close to “family values.”

The problem isn’t right-wing hypocrisy or the hypercritical ignorance of people like you, it’s a media that loathes Christians and will publicize anything to paint them in a negative light.

here you go
http://www.mikehuckabee.com/

This has what to do with the media?

All the while defending muslims…Go figure.

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Wow…..could you be more obvious?…..nope.

Hehehe…..

Nice diversion, dummy.

This is what really chaps my ass. When  Republicans shout to the highest rooftops about being Christian and having good family values and morals for all of us to hear, then you read stories like this.

Hypocrites. One and all. Why would you trust any of them? They can’t even be truthful to themselves.

Kind of like Hope and Change…

I’m not a witch.

This is good news for the producers of the Rachel Maddow Show, “Countdown” with Keith Olbermann,  “Hardball” with Chris Matthews and the Stephanie Miller radio show.  Charlie Pierce has a brilliant blog at Esquire.com, but he hasn’t posted in a couple of days.  Does that mean he’s taking a week or so  off?

” or the hypercritical ignorance of people like you, it’s a media that loathes Christians and will publicize anything to paint them in a negative light. ”
i think you just made my case…
hypocrite..

nobody is defending Islam–dipshit..
we just do not hate billions of people out of ignorance..

for every 1 person you can show me killed by a muslim–i will give you 10000 killed by christians..
let me asked this,..
how many abortions are done by Muslims?
how many child rapes in Mosques?
don’t be a dumbass..

if you know nothing of Islam or Christianity–just keep you dumbass opinions to yourself..

you mean the guy making millions by selling jesus on a lying propgandist show? selling overpriced cheap chinese shit made from slave labor on his website?
no thanks..
never cared much for people selling shit for the lord…

“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves,”

i can do this all day…

Kind of like when Liberals claim they are tolerant and aren’t racist.

Hypocrites. One and all. Why would you trust any of them? They can’t even be truthful to themselves.

Only if the headline read the sun will rise in the East tomorrow.

OK. Start here.

Fundamentalist Christian is the same as a fundamentalist Muslim. The hate is the same, they express it in different mediums. The poison here is religion! If only people kept their shitty religions to themselves.

He’s the mayor of a small Mississippi town. Great “scoop”…jesus, talk about a reach for “national” media like Mediaite…

Pseudo christians don’t need help from anybody, they are self destructing.Just like this ass clown preaching family values and morality by day, and by night down at the book store glued to a glory hole.The media is happy to point out this hypocrisy.

Typical family values stuff from a Republican pol. It’s good that he can finally live his life openly.  Come on’ out, Lindsey G. – SC is not as intolerant as MS.

Isn’t it funny; and they were silent on Sinclair, and that was a story about the POTUS.  Ah yes, the picking and chosing of headlines and stories here at mediaite are indeed humor inducing.

I am you.

In this particular case, using the term “chaps my ass” is just funny as all hell.

Deflect alert!

Good point.  This outsourcing has to stop!  There are some great american homosexual loving businesses this man could have used here. 

I bet he drives a BMW as well. !

Divert!

YOu mean like Obama?

What I find to be foolish and all to common is the broad genrelizations about diverse groups of people.  Both sides do it, and it doesn’t help at all. It’s the kind of counterproductive foolishness that needs to be stricken from the conversation.
I’m left of center but I know a lot of fabulous conservatives who are great poeple. We just happen to disagree on certain issues.

btw; Sorry about your chapped ass. Hope you feel better soon.

“One and all”

I’m sorry if you didn’t know this but Conservative Christian Republicans do not preach collectivism like the left does. They believe in taking individual action. That means you can only blame this one Christian Conservative Republican, this one individual, for the actions he had taken. It is only with the collectivist left can an idiot do something stupid and rightfully have his entire collective blamed. Example, The “liberal/collectivist” who took a shit on a cop car at OWS,  because of his actions I can rightfully say that all collectivist “liberals” are animals who shit in the streets. Another example, the reports of rape at OWS, all collectivist “liberals” are rapists.

BTW if you don’t like this correct analysis, than don’t be a “liberal”. Don’t be a collectivist. But if you do want to continue to be “liberal”, than just accept this. Take the bad with the good of being a collectivist.

yes-exactly like Obama

A good Christian indeed and a better Conservative nonetheless.

Whatever makes you and your persecution complex sleep at night.

This is one story, Mediaite, that you should be ashamed of printing – not that it’s not true, but that it encourages untrue and ugly stereotyping to people who are already blind with their bigotry and lack of knowledge.  

You’re joking right. Conservatives are always accusing liberals of being “Godless”. Republicans say THEY are the Party of “Family Values” as though no one else has any values. The Republican Party is against gay marriage and was/is against the repeal of DADT. Republicans MARCH in lockstep. Look how they vote in Congress. Look how 99% of them signed a pledge to Grover Norquist.  And if you say otherwise then either you REALLY don’t pay attention or you’re not truthful.

Has he given Marcus a call?

Why should Mediaite ignore this story.  It shows that there are gays among us and they should not have to live in shame.  The military repealed Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy and so should society at large. 

the question is, is Tim Tebow going to admit he is gay?

“media that loathes Christians and will publicize anything to paint them in a negative light”

What utter nonsense. But it is true that the Recc party – Republican Closet Cases – just love to feed the media a steady stream of closet cases.

The real problem I see here is that this guy is charging such outrageous, unrelated things to the taxpayer.  I would think that even if he were a straight person, such personal items and personal entertainment would not be acceptable – particularly $400 bottles of wine – not to mention the $1000 tip to the waiter.  Did he find the waiter “cute” too?

Every time I hear about one of these “family values hypocrites”, it reminds me of the accidental death of the Baptist minister Gary Aldridge in Alabama who died in the wetsuits with a dildo up his rear.  Even though it sadly took his life, it just makes a mockery of “family values” and just proves the hypocrisy of the republican party.

Wow. You really don’t have a clue. If anyone is a loose cannon, it’s you. You have a real anger problem.

I didn’t defend “Republican Closet Cases,” gomer. I pushed back against an absolutist statement of hate spewed by the guy above me. Try reading the post next time.

You know he’s gay how? Is it because of all the gay sex you’ve had with him in your mind?

Lay off the beer, IAlwaysDrinkBeer. Maybe you can salvage a few of the brain cells you have left. Or maybe it’s too late.

THIS guy may be self-destructive. He doesn’t represent millions/billions of Christians (as realjoe implied).

It is “Hypocrisy! You don’t need the media to paint yourself in a negative light, the “teas” take care of that on their own! The media doesn’t loath christians, they just get the joke of the “fake christian” hypocrisy!

Painful and factual!

What you spew is opinion and limited,… what “Mary” posts is factual and examples!

Say it ain’t so, another Conservative Christian TEA-GOP-Republican saying he’s gay only after he is caught with his pants down, oops! This dude is one ladder step above Brush Himoff who repeatedly inserts mouth, rather mouth than you know what. Here’s the real issue that needs to be addressed. The elitist TEA-GOP-Republican fringe holding American’s hostage over taxes
while they defend the upper 1%-ers. After bailing out the banking industry which
caused the “Housing Bubble” and now the “Foreclosure
Crisis” under the Bush Administration’s recession, This “Do
Nothing” 112th Congress has the audacity to keep shutting down the economy
repeatedly as long as president Obama’s in office. These elitist
TEA-GOP-Republican fringe do not have a heart and care only for the upper crust
of the best off! What every American should do is call their Representative’s
and Senator’s in Washington every day and tell them to do their “Financial
Fiduciary Function” for the population of America, and not their puppeteers. The
in-action of this Congress has killed the “American Dream” for most middle class
and enlarged the lower class to it’s highest level in History. Why would these
elitist TEA-GOP-Republican fringe want to throw so many people out of work, take
their homes and kill their dreams? It’s because this elitist TEA-GOP-Republican
fringe have become bigoted since the election of the first black president!
President Obama has been up against a constant and repeated barrage of negative
name calling and other attacks in an effort to blame him for the inability and
un- excusable non-efforts of the current Congress under
Boehner-McConnell-Ryan-Cantor! Every American should do is call their
Representative’s and Senator’s in Washington every day and tell them to do their
job for the general public and not the super-elite rich!

So when one extreme case take a dump, we all take a dump, but each “tea” that chases boys is on their own!

well i never said anything about a loose cannon or an agner problem so i gues you, like others like you–create things in your mind and begin an argument from there..
never really addressing the real issues at all..
pretty much just throwing out vitriol in the name of god AGAINST VITRIOL..
kind of like putting out a fire with kerosene..
but i guess if the most obvious hypocricies escape you clowns–i cannot expect you to grasp logic..

so maybe we should use the history of boy rape in the church? the KKK and the evangelical movement? the top leaders of the churches being sexual deviants, politcal hacks, and monie grubbers?
where are these millions/billons of saints?
i can show you where the millions of dead bodies lie at the hand of these so called saints..
but i have yet to meat a pious–person of faith yet~

Naaa, I’m used to the family values hypocrisy, what gets me is the quickness with which some people jump on the liberal-gotcha- media. As if they lured him into this gay sex shop, tricked him into springing for the $400 bottles of wine, then coerced him into leaving a $1000 tip. How is any of this the media’s fault? 

In part that is true, but the stereotype comes from all this “fake christian” crap then you see actions such as this.

There certainly are a lot of wonderful people out there that are Christian. There are also wonderful people from every other religion or no religion at all, just as there are bad people. What stands out to me is the fact that the title of Christian really doesn’ t tell you anything about a person’s character.

I noticed more politically dutring the Bush campaign. The GOP sought out conservative Christians and started making promises on socially conservative issues. People like the man in the article are somewhat expected now. You’d think people might begin to realize how it indicates that homosexuality is not a choice. Although Christiabns have done a lot of good work, the false teachings about homosecuality being evil, and perverted and an abomination, has madfe people like the one in the article afraid to acknowledge their own true selves.
Imagine being indoctrinated into the hommosexuality is perverse club. by your family , your church and friends, and then you begin experienceing those feelings and are terrified someone will find out. A lot of innocent people have been hurt and families torn apart by those false teachings.

ROTFLOL! Maybe you better look up the definition of fact. Clue it isn’t anything you or some other liberal want it to be. My post was opinion that much is true but then so was Mary’s. Yours was just you being a troll.

I’m no Mike Huckabee fan, but since when is Fox News “the temple”? That’s where Mike Huckabee is selling his wares.

You can “do this” ignorantly and incorrectly all day. That’s what you should have said. A monkey can make sounds. It doesn’t mean that he’s being coherent.

Also, try spell check. If English is your first language, you need some kind of filter to make your garbled postings intelligible (even if they are full of nonsense).

What a gay.

Thanks,I try.
I’m not sure which one of the meanings of my joke you went for,but either way they all do it for me.

Hehehe…

These self hating men in the Republican party are just sad! They fight tooth and nail so that gay people are marganilized only to have secret gay lives themselves. Cue Michelle Bachmann’s husband too.

The charitable, selfless, honest and generous Christians don’t garner the attention that a man like this will. Your comment shows the same idiotic bigotry that is foisted upon Muslims.

Mr. Feldman, is this the totem you wish to erect?  

“smarty pants”?

Your grade school called, they want their line back.

ROTFLOL, braintrust! The definition of fact is,… a report, a confession, and audit that you can read above! Even a “tea” troll should understand that one!

Not to nitpick details, but how would a girl have gay sex with a male?
Take your time and give clear, step-by-step answers.

You attacked the media for printing this, and other such stories, in line with the wrong-wing censorship tendencies.
That’s why you all attack MSNBC. Because they hurt your feelings by speaking the truth, and therefore must be stopped.

Yeah, but when they run for office by attacking gays, then all bets are off.

It’s a metaphorical temple. Selling religious crap for profit while implying the promise of the accompanying absolution or salvation or some other religious deliverance for the price of the purchase.
And other than a dropped ‘a’, I don’t see any spelling errors. Nor any lack of coherence.
Or is that all it takes for you to get on your high horse?

Like Obama how?
Or is that a gotcha question?
And if so, so what?

I missed the part where you proved that liberals, the ones who drove the civil rights movement, are racist.
Or are you of the opinion that it doesn”t need to be proved?

Oh, poo.

You’re “rolling on the floor laughing out loud”?
Really? Over what?
Your brilliant critique?
Get real.

And what a distubing picture you paint. Are you in control of your bodily functions while this is happening?

Clean up on aisle 7.

How about I interpret it any way that I like, and if you disapprove, who gives a rat’s ass?
I hope that doesn’t complicate matters.

p.s. I’m a liberal, but not a collectivist, and again, if you don’t like that, see above.

“How is any of this the media’s fault?”

It’s the media’s fault for reporting it, in their Orwellian universe.

You read it. Or was there a gun at your head?

You want humor?
Look no further than the clown car that opens up before every repugnantan debate.
What a collection.

Stop your clucking you sanctimonious hypocrite.
All of you are about censorship. You hate the truth and want to control what we know. So, in your mind, and I use the term loosely, we’ll have a higher opinion of you.
We won’t.

I don’t know which candidate is the most electable, but I think we can agree that Marcus is the most de lectable.

You think that tip was for restaurant related services only?

I’m guessing that it will be addressed in November, when the tp (toilet paper) is flushed.

Get help.

Yet another closeted conservative Christian politician who profits politically off of homophobia.  What a surprise!

I wonder if his supporters and colleagues will now decide that his works are now tainted by his homosexuality?  I wonder how many ignorant people will decide that they can’t admire him after all, no matter what good he’s done for his constituents?

Conservatism would be stronger if it would stop caring what those sex-hating extremists have to say. And I guess ditto for Liberalism and anti-sex feminists.

Dude, seriously? This is one stinking lying jerkwad who uses Christianity as a campaign ploy.

There are literally tens of millions of good, honest Christians in this country. Odds are, if you went out of your house today, you saw several.

I’m Jewish and I know this. There are far more good of all religions than bad. It is only the bad ones that make news. When was the last time you saw a headline that said, “Man does nothing wrong or annoying.”

To be fair, every religion has its extremists and many, many great evils have been committed in the name of religion by false leaders and such.

Don’t condemn  all Christians just because this clown thought he could get away with it because it was in Canada. He didn’t do whatever because he is a Christian. He did whatever he did because he is a corrupt jerk.

Liberals drove the civil rights movement? Sure they did, put down the coolaid steve.

Well I stated an opinion shared by many intellegent people but it is still an opinion just like Mary’s. So thanks anyway but I don’t need the definition of a fact. You could use it for sure and that is a fact..

Barely able you are just too ridiculous to not laugh at. And no its not about anything I wrote, afraid I can’t mimic your ability to make such asinine statements. Thanks for the laugh.

 I wish the poor dude the best now maybe he can get on with his life. Hopefully he can make something positive out of this revelation and help push society into a more accepting era. Or he can wallow in self guilt and kill himself. Its up to him to decide.

well i gues if i have to explain it to you–then it would not matter anyway…
but i am more than happy to compare IQ’s or education on philosphy and religion if you like..
none of you clowns have proved me wrong on anything yet..
just call names and attack–oh ya–and judge..
if I were you–i would GET BUSY LIVING..
but if you want to compare YOUR genius to my ignorance..PUT UP OR SHUT UP FOOL!

it is a stupid question…they have nothing else…

so you call me a bigot–by being a bigot????
i at least admit i am biased against ignorant hypocrites..
but you blind allegiance fools would follow the devil–if it existed..

amen—
don’t foget the radical jews—
for american to blindly give carte blac to the Zionist war mongers is just as bad as when we supported bin laden..
there are evil, greedy fucks in all ‘groups’…
religion and politics is just a proven way to scam the best..

after you pablov~
ring~

Did he actually take a shit or was he just trying to? Can vegetarians actually crap on demand? I don’t know.

I don’t know what that means.
sure it doesn’t make them less wrong. Like the guy on the Perry team helping to make anti-gay ads. But it does demonstratre some of the harm done by religious indoctrination.

More than this one oindividul being a corrupt jerk , IMO it’s a reflection by trhe great harm donw by the falsehoods spread by generations of  religious indoctrination.

That means you can only blame this one Christian Conservative Republican, this one individual, for the actions he had taken.

Yes, for his specific acions and the “hypocrites all”  is one of many ridiculous generlizations we see on message boards.
It is legitimate to ask why we see this kind of thing repeated over and over. Repressed republican gays being outed.

Hey,

This IS news!

If he were a lib, not so much.

Exactly, the fact he was a gay hating family man conservative values person in Mississippi and got away with it is news. Somebodys gaydar ain’t working so good.

The editorial in the last sentence about being generous was the kicker, generous with the taxpayers credit card.

As soon as a conservative starts talking about “family values” I know he is: 1. dumb, obsessed with abortion but doesn’t give the time of day to the living. 2. a d-wad bigot that cannot accept the fact that God made some people gay. Oh no!

Ain’t tweaking the libs funn?
And easy.

You keep talking about child rape….Do you have any idea how many boys are raped in muslim countries?  It’s actually pretty main stream.

Oh yeah..and your frothing rants are hilarious.

The only question is:

How long will it take before they call you an ugly name?

For me it doesn’t take long.
I usually get the word ‘lib’ out early.

All religion is based on myth,and therefore cannot be true.Praying to jesus is no different than praying to santa,tooth fairy,easter bunny,or zues.The sad part is this guy coudn’t run for office based on who he is.He has to cling to a phony religion ,a fake marriage,a campaign based on lies.

Look in the mirror and see the turd staring back at you.I would call ths a correct analysis.

and worst of all, he bought them in CANADA instead of keeping our AMERKIN gay sex shop employees enriched with our tax Dollars!

Cosmos Dan

I simply mean that his personal problems in dealing with being gay no longer warrant our sympathy if he takes an anti-gay political position.
Then, he just a hypocrite. Worse, if he achieves a position of power.

These days, any homophobe who runs around preaching “family values” always turns out to be gay.  There are no surprises in the peanut gallery.

And on “family values,” the ones I learned at home were if someone was hungry, you fed him or her, homeless, you put him or her up, and I never could make myself feel better by dumping on others.

Clearly you’re out of your mind.
It was conservaslobs who were marching, demonstrating, sitting-in, and legislating back in the 60s, when the civil rights movement was taking place? Is that your contention, you ridiculous fool?
You really think that you can rewrite history in your Orwellian fantasy?
You, or your antecedents, were the reason a civil rights movement was necessary in the first place. You were, and are, the bigots, the opposition. Or was the Klan a liberal organiziation.
Save your vile lies for the ignorant slobs who take you seriously.
As for Kool-aid, with a K, you would be dead now if it were more than a metaphor.

Ajo

You’re laughing at me?
I was mocking you for laughing at your own joke, a conservaslob habit, made necessary by the fact that no one else would, because nothing you all say is ever remotely funny. Apparently, it went over your head, a low bar, at best.
And you probably believe that you topped me with this last one.
Now that IS funny.

Conservative Christian GOP politician turns out to be gay….*yawn*.

Now here is your quintessential registered republican.  I’ll bet this guy can snort as much cocaine in 5 minutes as Glenn Beck. 

Wish we could catch Obimbo being a leader. Wouldn’t that be refreshing?
