Serious question: what do you think Melissa Etheridge thinks of Warren's latest video?

[LostinVA]

I'm sure her SO thinks it's 2 kewl 4 words. Or whatever.

[Skittles]

1. if it helps her sell CDs, she'll LOVE it

[LostinVA]

2. She apparetly has a new Xmas CD out -- the timing is very interesting

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. We OWN the new Xmas CD

Of course, if I knew she was going to pull this, I wouldn't have bought it.

[mondo joe]

14. I can't believe I pirated that shit!

O8)

[Metric System]

3. No arguments here.

[grantdevine]

5. Are you trying to imply that Melissa Etheridge is a bubblehead?

Because it sure looks that way.

It's too bad people need to stoop to attacking each other just because they disagree. Obama represents something much more than that. Warren holds many wrong-headed views on gays, and he certainly deserves criticism for it. Condemning anyone who doesn't shun him is the wrong response.

[mitchtv]

7. bubble head?

I like it . I'll take door number 1 Alex

[yardwork]

8. Would it be a Melissa Etheridge bubblehead?

[bluedawg12]

13. Bobblehead that agrees with everything.

Geesh.

[Bluebear]

11. It's OK, it's all just a different word for a hat.

[yardwork]

15. A babaka? Yabaka? Yabadabadoo?

[LostinVA]

18. A whirleygig?

I think Buddhists wear those.

[Jamastiene]

16. Don't be silly.

We all know she's a bubble buster, not a bubble head. :eyes:

[LostinVA]

17. I'm implying Etheridge and her SO are asses, ad apparetly you are, too

Since you JUST SAID we shouldn't condemn people like Warren who call gays evil, etc.

[grantdevine]

19. Ah, name calling. The last refuge. Back up your statement...

...when did this Warren character call gays "evil"?

[Bluebear]

20. "Ah", he called us akin to child molesters.

[LostinVA]

26. Pepophile and incest and going to hell ain't enough for you?

"The last refuge." Just be quiet. You are truly embarrassing yourself defending this bigoted snakeoil salesman.

[grantdevine]

40. Sounds like he didn't call anyone evil afterall.

Accuracy is important in these conversations. Make false accusations and lose credibility, it's that simple.

Now, show me where he said gays are "pedophiles" or "incest".

And his belief that gays will go to hell is not the same as calling gays evil, unless you buy his crap.

It's too bad you give him so much power.

[Sebastian Doyle]

41. "And his belief that gays will go to hell is not the same as calling gays evil"

Really? So Hell takes reservations for "non-evil" people now?

I thought that was the whole point of Hell's existence? Where the evil people go to burn eternally for their sins.

So why do teh gayz go there then? Satan need a little help with interior decorating?

[donco6]

42. What the hell are you smoking?

"his belief that gays will go to hell is not the same as calling gays evil"

Duh.

[Lyric]

50. Ahem

RICK WARREN: But the issue to me is, I’m not opposed to that as much as I’m opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. I’m opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. I’m opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.

STEVEN WALDMAN: Do you think, though, that they are equivalent to having gays getting married?

RICK WARREN: Oh I do. …

21. well i guess you told us!!

:rofl:

[QC]

24. I think I lost one of my socks.

Anybody know where it might be?

[Bluebear]

25. Look about you. I know it's close.

[Creideiki]

32. For the record

Obama holds many wrong-headed views on gays. Views that if someone were to hold toward African Americans would be considered really, really bad.

6. I don't recognize her any more.

I feel sad and embarrassed that she's been fooled.

[LostinVA]

27. I told Haruka I would only be half-surprised if she "Ex Gayed"

After hearing what she said on Hartmann yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised. Even after his altest video, she was like,"Oh, he doesn't preach hate."

She owes much of her leap into success to the GLBT community. I threw away all her CDs yesterday, including some about 20 years old.

She also doesn't seem to process what he's said about women, Jews, Catholics, etc. I always thought she was intelligent, but after this debacle, and seeing what a mental giant her SO is, I think I've rethought that opinion.

I prefer Ellen DeGeneres being my "GLBT Celebrity When It Comes to GLBT Issues."

[donco6]

43. I expect her to pull a Heche any day. n/t

[bluedawg12]

9. She'll see the rainbow through the clouds

as the white yamuka of peace flies through her window. :evilgrin:

[yardwork]

10. Dripping honey.

I'm wondering if Melissa and her partner got into some really good shrooms.

[bluedawg12]

12. LOL! I can't wait to see the next blog

from the sweetie pie.

[IndianaGreen]

22. Make sure you put your names on your luggage

it will be forwarded to you later.

[bluedawg12]

23. Work will make you free.

[LostinVA]

28. Ras! RAS! You re going to be deloused!

[bluedawg12]

29. ME will lead the camp band.

[LostinVA]

30. Demonizing and marginalizing are the first steps

And, given someone who espouses these views a NATIONAL ND INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM speaks volumes.

[bluedawg12]

33. And those restrictive laws just for "special people."

[LostinVA]

34. Some people think genocides lik the Holocaust and Rwanda just start, full-blown

It starts slowly -- that's the only way it really works.

[bluedawg12]

37. The first step is dehumanized the person, making the subject object.

Then, anything can be done to "non-humans."

[IndianaGreen]

39. Or to compare LGBTs as a threat to the forest, as the Pope did

Laying down the theological rationale for a future solution to the LGBT question.

As a Jew, the Pope's words raised a lot of alarm bells in my head.

[IndianaGreen]

48. She'll see the rainbow through the hole in Warren's donut

She may be very talented, but she sure can't spot a man that is a lying sack of shit.

[jonnyblitz]

31. I will get my lesbian music elsewhere, I prefer Sleater-kinney.

to be honest not all band members of them are lesbian, Carrie and Janet are, Corrin is not.

I have their complete discography and unfortunately they are on "hiatus", according to their wiki entry. i had heard they split up period, so perhaps they will be baaack.

top lesbian bands (melissa in number #1 on this list):

http://lesbianlife.about.com/od/lesbianmusicians/a/TopLesbianBands.htm

I actually never cared for Melissa anyway long before this.

[LostinVA]

36. I'll take Amy and Emily (Indigo Girls, of course!)

[QC]

38. Gimme some Phranc!

[TWiley]

44. NPR 01-03-09: Singer Etheridge Defends Obama's Choice Of Warren

The evangelical pastor whom President-elect Obama has picked to give the inaugural invocation has a surprising supporter: Melissa Etheridge, who has been outspoken on gay issues. She tells Guy Raz she understands Obama's decision, despite Rick Warren's opposition to gay marriage.

[JohnnieGordon]

45. I hate her guts

What an offensive idiot.

[Zuiderelle]

46. What a fucking idiot.

And traitor. How dare she try to speak for us. She's not one of us.

She'd do better to just keep her mouth shut and her opinions to herself.

[IndianaGreen]

49. Let's see if she understand being forced to wear a pink triangle on her blouse

That's the ultimate goal of people like Warren.

[Jamastiene]

47. I don't think ME thinks.

She cannot possibly think. She has allowed herself to be associated WITH Rick Warren guy and AGAINST gay people. Obviously, she's not thinking.

[mitchtv]

52. she is definitely auditioning for the in crowd

No criticism permitted She wants in. House lesbian will soon claim to be spokesperson

[donco6]

51. Another figure who has forgotten where her paycheck is coming from.

She'll figure it out eventually.
