Hargrove / Hicks From the Sticks Joe the Plumber Won't Go Away, Wishes "Queers" Would
Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Tue, May 5, 2009 at 4:48 PM
This time it's the gays. In a pander-y interview with Christianity Today (a known bastion of progressive thinking) Joe takes bigotry to heights Fred Phelps could appreciate. The horror: "People don't understand the dictionary--it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual."
Somehow, Joe, I don't think Noah Webster had gays in mind as he pieced together his great lexicographical work. No, the term was corrupted by ignoramuses like you. Novel logic, though.
"I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children."
Joe's definition of friendship with gays: Having briefly spoken to or shared the same air with a gay person momentarily. Gee, they must be flocking have beers with "The Plumber." 'Hey, I'm having a barbecue this weekend, but you can't come. You're gay and my children will be there. Sorry.'
Oh, and he's not sure if he'll run for public office. God hasn't told him to...yet. For the rest of JTP's uninformed inanity, follow the link.

Joe doesn't understand the dictionary--it's called gay. Gay means bright and lively.
There's also moron, which means a very stupid person.
Somehow,Brantley, I don't think Noah Webster had faggots in mind as he pieced together his great lexicographical work. No, the term (gay) was corrupted by ignoramuses like you. Novel logic, though.
Liberals let liberals say whatever they want and it's ok. Have a different opinion and you're labeled a racist and everything else they fell like calling you.
Take all the queers, fags, homos or whatever you want to call them and put them on an island.. they're gone in one generation. That should tell you something.
Most people dont want their children around openly gay people.....thats reality and this neo-McCarthyite movement to silence people wont change that.
@Robbins: The original definition for "faggot" was "bundle of sticks". In Britain, a "fag" is a cigarette. The term gay was also utilized as a derogatory label but has since been marginalized by its acceptance within the homosexual community.
@Maddog: A true liberal would agree with 'I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.' Just because you're allowed to say something however doesn't make it true and WE are just as allowed to provide a counter arguement.
I find your argument for a mass segregation and isolation in the hopes of extermination to be particularly revealing of your true sentiments. Tell me, if a gay couple can't have children, then why is it that there have been homosexuals for hundreds of years? Why is it that they are born into communities with no homosexual influences and to families where the only gender roles are strictly traditional ones? Your argument contains a strong logical fallacy, and is made of fail.
Sorry, folks, I was up all night having it off with a dude I met on Craigslist and some crystal, and when I got home I felt such revulsion for myself and my closeted lifestyle that I lashed out.
Robbins, uh, what's your point? Or do you have one? Are you trying to say gays corrupted the word gay? (Scratching head, wondering if Robbins has a problem with calling gays gay, or if Robbins is just a bigot)
Each to his own. Freedom! It requires tolerance for diversity! It's great.
How boring if we were all a cookie cutter same thing; saying the same thing; loving the same thing; disliking the same thing. Political correctness is as boring as the one size fits all Christianity it replaced.
I am an American and accustomed to differnces among free people. The constitution protects my uniqueness and your uniqueness and Joe the plumber as well. I am not perfect enough to tell everyone how to be and how to think. Neither is the author.
