Any time I see a Republican on TV now I can't help but wonder if they are perverts too

[NNN0LHI]

Anyone else having this "problem" lately?

Don

[Hepburn]

1. Ummmmmmmm........

......you have to WONDER???

LOL, even without all the sex scandals which are now coming out, Repukes have always seemed pretty perverted to me!

:hi:

[gfnrob]

2. Wondering???

No need to wonder any longer.....Confirmed.

[Buzz Clik]

3. I don't see "perverts", I see hypocrites.

Yeah, Foley's taste for 16-year-olds was icky, but some Bible thumper who supposedly hates gays but likes male prostitutes is just a big phony.

[soleft]

4. Why is Haggard and pervert and not just a cheating spouse

As well as a hypocritical bastard and drug abuser.

But pervert? Why?

[NNN0LHI]

6. Where did I mention Haggard at in my OP?

But I can promise that the Evangelicals do consider Haggard a pervert no matter what I think. We have no control over that.

8. Ha! Great minds, see my post below! NT

[soleft]

10. I'm sure they would

and I wouldn't question their use of the word pervert?

[MADem]

7. Well, he's doing drugs with prostitutes...that's not average. It may not

reach "perverted" status for a general population, but it probably IS perverted for a supposed "man of the cloth."

Definitions of perverted on the Web:

kinky: (used of sexual behavior) showing or appealing to bizarre or deviant tastes; "kinky sex"; "perverted practices"
distorted: having an intended meaning altered or misrepresented; "many of the facts seemed twisted out of any semblance to reality"; "a perverted translation of the poem"
depraved: marked by immorality; deviating from what is considered right or proper or good; "depraved criminals"; "a perverted sense of loyalty"; "the reprobate conduct of a gambling aristocrat"

9. would you call a straight man doing drugs with prostitutes a pervert?

[EFerrari]

14. The element that tips it into perversity is that these guys never

seem to be having an affair with a peer. It's always a kid 30 or more years younger than they are. I guess 18 year olds are legally adults and/yet, it still is in the ballpark of wanting sex with someone who has much less power than you do. Or, that's my take, anyway.

[uppityperson]

24. if prositute were 30 yrs younger and straight man also was bragging

about his committed marriage/family values. Actually, I'd call him a hypocrit. Nothing to do with sexual orientation but with humane behavior and hypocracy.

[MADem]

30. Yeah, especiallly if he were a minister. That's PERVERTED. Ministers minister,

they don't run around smokin' crack with hoo-ahs. In fact, most people I know don't do that sort of thing, or if they do, they find SHAME in it and HIDE it. There's your definition of PERVERTED. Shameful behavior that people want to HIDE from their friends and neighbors.

What, you think that shit's NORMAL???

Or are you hung up on the gay aspect for some reason?

[swimboy]

16. See: perverted lives right next door to deviant and gay does not equal deviant

So I would argue for a recouching of the OP's statement.

[sui generis]

18. yeah, I'm about to break out some three-two-one-go on this

I'll give it a few more before I fling the first bomb. We should invite spectators from GLBT so they can see how it's done.

What do you think?

[TankLV]

38. As a gay man, it's PERVERTED, SICK, YUCKY...

Here's a self proclaimed "PERFECT" "man" DEMAGOGING OTHERS for their IMAGINED behavior, only come to find out he's DOING WORSE - WORSE!

That's PERVERTED and SICK to me - and worse...

[swimboy]

50. OK, just don't cross the beams!

(until we have to)

[MADem]

33. HUH? The original poster said NOTHING about gays.

To quote the first post in this venue:

Any time I see a Republican on TV now I can't help but wonder if they are perverts too
Anyone else having this "problem" lately?

I think you're projecting.

[swimboy]

47. I read the definition of perverted you helpfully provided.

First up: kinky: (used of sexual behavior) showing or appealing to bizarre or deviant tastes; "kinky sex"; "perverted practices"

Too close to home for me.

[Armstead]

12. If allegations are true, then he''s a pervert by his own definition

[soleft]

13. I wasn't asking for Haggard's definition

[liberal N proud]

5. What kind of message is this sending to our children?

All these perverts, what will our kids think?


Remember hearing that about the BJ?

[tridim]

11. I see lots of "prescription" medicated Repukes too

I had a friend who was secretly addicted to Oxycontin and after he was caught (by his work) the warning signs became very clear. I knew something was wrong, but didn't know it was because of Oxy, now I can spot pill addicts a mile away.

[cwydro]

37. tell us some...

I suspect a co-worker has a problem...she is always popping a Lortab or something (and bragging about it). She is also very irritable most of the time.

[sui generis]

15. don't call people in the closet perverts please.

think about it. There are other names you can use.

[NNN0LHI]

17. .

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

22. has to do with being a hypocrit, esp with any sex matters

I see little to do with being in any closet, but hiring prostitute while espousing "committed marriage" values.

40. Go ahead - call ME a "homophobe" - I dare you!

I completely agree with NNN0LHI.

It's PERVERTED and SICK the way another repuke HYPOCRITE is using this!!!

I can understand your desire to not link the terms gay and pervert, but your missing the point here...

In this case it is REPUKE HYPOCRITE and PERVERT. It fits. THAT's the point - the HYPOCRISY, not the GAYNESS...

[sui generis]

45. then use the word hypocrisy

how hard is that?

[DaveJ]

25. Totally agree

By 'perverts' I take it to mean the primary definition of the term pervert and not sexually perverted.

[Hubert Flottz]

26. Bet on it!

A person would have to be warped to still be a GOPer! Or too guilty to turn back!

Edit to add...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pervert

[uppityperson]

27. no, I wonder if they are hypocrits

since I don't consider sex with a prostitute perverted necessarily.

[DaveJ]

28. I'm confused

Is the term 'pervert' in the OP somehow a reference to sex like a lot of people are assuming?

44. Get a life - you're too wrapped up in this...

Read the poster's past posts - they are hardly a "homophobe".

It is against the rules to slander members here.

You are quite RUDE and being SLANDEROUS.

You are tryihg to do to NNN0LHI just what the repukes did to Kerry and his speach - and what's sad is that you don't even realize it...

36. No - I don't "wonder" - I "KNOW"! It's just a matter of time before it becomes general knowledge...

The more strident the are AGAINST something, the more I KNOW they are doing EXACTLY what they are preaching against...

I have been proven correct every fucking time on that...

[MADem]

39. Yep, look at Rush, railing against drug addicts and wanting them all locked up

Except HIM, of course!! They're CRIMINALS, he's "unwell."

52. hey sui, although I have been amused by your postings, personal attacks

area against DU rules. Can you find other ways to express yourself than by personal insults? Calling names doesn't help. I understand your frustration, and also believe that the more accurate description is hypocrit (more accurate and less possibly misunderstood as homophobic).

[EFerrari]

53. I think the Law of Opposite Action holds for everything these

mofos say. That and what they project. That's all you need to know to read them like "My Pet Goat".

[underpants]

41. They're all gay

at least that is one of my conspiracy theories

I don't mean that in an accusatory way I really do think that what became the elite of the elite in the think tanks recruited gays at Harvard (mostly) and Yale-some other Ivy League type schools- back in the late 60's and early 70's. These were social darwinists who held tightly the belief that these were clearly superiorly bred gene pools that had distinguished themselves from the pack of immigrants of the early part of the century. They needed capable bodies and the fact that these men were gay meant that they would forever be loyal as their ultimate fear of being outed could be held over their heads. The rest, as they say, is just wearing a suit and hanging the diploma.

Cheney
Bolton
Roberts
Alito
Norquist
Drier (not Harvard)
etc.


This is my one and only conspiracy theory...that and the one about how they killed Pat Tillman before he could get back to the States and hand Kerry an unfixable landslide.

[sui generis]

43. see, now that's respectable crackpottery

I could consider that for form's sake.

Fortunately we've checked our database and they have not been issued memberships. That we are aware of :P

I think we should set up a Gay Security Administration though and put them on the No Gay list.

[EFerrari]

49. LOL! Crackpottery!

And, I could use and updated Agenda while we're at it.

lol

54. I'm going to lock this.

"When discussing race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, or other highly-sensitive personal issues, please exercise the appropriate level of sensitivity toward others and take extra care to clearly express your point of view."

Mod consensus is that if the OP had used the term 'hypocrisy' much of the circle firing squad could have been averted.

best,
