Is there something "creepy" about Anderson Cooper?

[underpants]

I just heard the voice on the car stereo say this (Glenn Beck I believe his name is) and he said several times in a short period of time.

Something like:

And Anderson Cooper...there is something creepy about him I don't exactly what it is that makes me feel he is creepy but he just strikes me as creepy I've heard some talk about him taking over for Dan Rather* but he is creepy at least to me but I am not sure why he is so creepy.

*-this is the third name I have heard the RW machine trying to introduce as a possible replacement for Rather
Cooper (Glen Beck)
Matt Lauer (Fox and Friends)
Tim Russert (Fox and Friends)

1. I think he's hot.

Some people say he's gay (in the closet) so maybe Glenn Beck is homophobic.

[sui generis]

4. say what? Anderson Cooper is out and proud -

CNN bills him as their "openly gay anchor".

Yeah, it's a smear campaign - I think people who use the same word more than three times in a sentence are creepy.

17. No kiddin'? Never heard that...

Where have I been?

8. yep it's the gay thing that's creepy to them

Fucking homophobes!

Cooper more or less outed himself the other day with Jerry Falwell. Talking about gays he said, "We pay taxes here too," or something to that effect.

I truly believe that the majority of Americans are becoming more and more supportive of gay rights and more and more accepting of gays as equal citizens than ever. I don't believe pundits I just follow popular culture.

Bravo is more or less an out of the closet network and you have gay shows and themes everywhere. Will & Grace, Six Feet Under, and some stuff on Showtime that I can't recall specifically because I don't subscribe. I'm sure there's more too.

I find homophobes "creepy" so there!

2. I think he's gay AND hot

And I'm a woman.

3. I don't know who Glenn Beck is, but

it doesn't take a genius to figure out that in right winger land 'creepy' = gay.

6. There is nothing creepy about Anderson. Would make a good replacement

for Rather. Does a good job.

[dogtag]

10. I agree with you that Cooper does a good job. That's why

'they' feel the need to discredit him. Nothing like a whisper campaign, ala Rove, to make the sheeple feel uncomfortable.

11. AS you surely know this is how the RW does it

They start it out on hate radio bleed it into say NewsMax or WorldNetDaily and then cite these fine publications on Fox and hopefully push the networks to feature it (polling and focus group in on it at ever step)--they just did it with the "Oil for Food scandal". I doubt they would do THAT with Cooper but they are getting the message out.

5. He's G Vanderbilt's sole heir so he probably doesn't need

the job. That makes him dangerous. He might actually say what he thinks!

[BeeBee]

14. So he's hot and rich... n/t

[elehhhhna]

16. and gay. darn it. (it that okay? to say gay...darn it?)

[BeeBee]

23. only if ... n/t

[displacedtexan]

7. I thought John Roberts was the heir apparent.

Hm.

Is Timmy trying to strong arm his way back into network news?

[indigobusiness]

9. Yes

12. The fact Cooper's a Closeted Vanderbilt creeps me out.

[Minstrel Boy]

19. likewise

Sure, Vanderbilts are people, too. But they're not my people.

For those who don't know, Cooper is Gloria Vanderbilt's son.


Gloria married Hollywood agent Pasquale DiCicco ("Pat" DiCicco) in 1941; they divorced in 1945. Her second marriage, to conductor Leopold Stokowski on April 21, 1945 produced two sons, Leopold Stanislaus Stokowski (born 1950) and Christopher Stokowski (born 1955); they divorced in October 1955. Her third marriage took place on August 28, 1956 to director Sidney Lumet; they divorced in August 1963. Her final marriage to author Wyatt Emory Cooper took place on 1964, ; they had two sons, Carter Vanderbilt Cooper (1965-1988), and newsman Anderson Cooper (born 1967).

13. I think he's a vampire

kinda has that look, ya know? :silly:

[RBHam]

15. Cooper is a New World Order operative

You'll note his slash and burn job he's doing on "conspiracy theories" this week.

He cannot be trusted.

[Hobarticus]

18. I think he's creepy for that reason...

Another proud graduate of the Non-Objective Journalism School...

[Cocoa]

20. he looks like a Nazi

a movie Nazi anyway.

[Cocoa]

21. also like the kid from Deliverance

this site's idea, not mine...
