Phillips David Fowler Thinks Gays Are Manipulating BlueCross
Posted by Betsy Phillips on Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 6:18 AM
Did gay groups pressure BlueCross? Who knows? Who cares? For the sake of argument, though, let's say they did. Why would it be wrong for gay people to use the same tactics as David Fowler? He's squawking, "They hit me back!" — and this is getting media play? Is there no one in this state who will say, "David, if you don't like it when people do it to you, don't do it to them?" (Sunday school was a long time ago, but I dimly recall something about a Golden Rule.) At the very least, is there no one willing to point and laugh?
David Fowler is a professional busybody, the Gladys Kravitz of the state of Tennessee. It'd be nice to see some media coverage of him that makes that more explicit, instead of treating him like he's one reasonable side of a fair and balanced debate.

Isn't Fowler the Senator who pushed to deny marriage rights to gay citizens in 2006? (amendment one)
Didn't his wife divorce him because he was committing adultery with a staffer at the same time he was trying to destroy gay taxpayers?
Didn't Jesus say something about hypocritical religionists?

You know, this anti-gay bigotry from mean-spirited guys like Fowler is simply tiresome. These hateful people need to be called out and not given a free pass to hide behind religion to perpetuate their homophobia, racism and right-wing political views.
Betsy is exactly right, so what if gay people "pressured" Blue Cross to treat them fairly? And why is that so much more objectionable than David Fowler "pressuring" them to continue to discriminate?
David Fowler- He's Not Blind, but He Does Need Glasses!
David Fowler took $10,000.00 in Tennessee Taxpayer money to study pornography.

"Little" David Fowler. Think about him -- 'cause he's thinking about you (in a creepy way).
Watch for Ayatollah David at a bedroom window near you--God's own Peeping Tom.

This is so typical of religious people: vain, malicious and wilfully ignorant. Still, better than the old days; modern secular governments do not permit their traditional response to difference: torture and mass murder.
@Perry Aubric: You want fair? I'm sure you consider gay people fair. How about they pay their fair share for HIV treatment. They constitute half the new cases each year so it's only fair they pay half the costs instead of asking the rest of us to make up for societal slackers. If there were no drugs for HIV, half the gay community would be gone within five years and the gays would dwindle away. It says something about a lifestyle when it can only be maintained with the use of medicine. Yeah, yeah, mean old me for bringing it to your attention.
Political Tactics
@Gladys The people whose political tactics you so admire have some very endearing (dripping sarcasm) and strange ideas about the way politics should be played. Let me illustrate with one question: If you had kids, how would you like having to get up each morning before dawn and remove dozens of used condoms from your lawn so the kids wouldn't see them? You may not consider that dirty politics, but certainly it is unsanitary politics, and does NOTHING to advance the public good. Would you like other examples from the loopy lesbians you support. The best thing Nashville's gays could do would be to declare themselves forever "outside your orbit and infleunce." You are some nasty women.
You don't know pith about the background of the topic you're "analyzing." Do some research, and you'll find out that the state of Tennessee Democrats/BlueCross/Magellian/the Bredesen administration and militant lesbians have been engaged in an illegal charade for almost two decades. When handed the story on a platter, neither the Tennessean nor the Scene was interested in the truth.
As far as tactics are concerned, the story also contained an interview with Dr. Robert Spitzer (look it up!) on the tactics of the "gay rights" movement and their impediment to advancing science and public health. Spitzer was the "gay rights" hero until he dared challenge gay orthodoxy with a little truth test, something the germs at "pith" seem loath to do.

Since gay people don't reproduce at the levels of straight people, they should get a tax break on providing education to straight people's kids.
