Author and sex columnist Dan Savage says many liberals are giving first lady Melania Trump a pass because shes pretty and that she doesnt deserve one.
God knows theres enough hate in the world and I dont want to add to the sum total, but forgive me, I have got to get this off my chest: I fing hate Melania Trump, Savage said at the start of his latest Savage Love podcast.
Im not alone in loathing Donald Trumps third wife shes married to a misogynist after all. Odds are good her husband hates her too, Savage continued. But there are some folks on the left who not only dont hate her, they view her as some sort of sympathetic figure. The pretty princess in the tower locked up by the orange ogre with the bad combover, a princess desperately blinking out distress signals during swearing-in ceremonies and inaugural balls.

Savage is right that some liberals have expressed at least sarcastic sympathy for the first lady Free Melania signs were a not-uncommon sight at the Los Angeles Womens March the day after Trumps inauguration.
Savage said the undeservedly charitable view of Melania Trump comes from peoples tendency to think that the insides of pretty people match the outsides of pretty people.
Its definitely not true in this case. Mrs. Trump, Melania Trump, is as ugly on the inside as she is pretty on the outside. She is a birther. Pretty Melania went on TV to push the same racist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama that her husband did. Shes an immigrant who doesnt give a s about the plight of other immigrants. Shes famously a plagiarist. And shes brought ruinous lawsuits against journalists and bloggers accusing them of among other things, potentially interfering with her ability to profit off her role as first lady.

Melania Trumps legal team has successfully targeted reporters who have made baseless suggestions that she worked as an escort years ago. Last month, a New York Times reporter apologized for calling her a hooker.
People of all political stripes have argued in in the past that presidents families should be off-limits in the criticisms of their policies. But Savage said President Obamas right-wing critics didnt apply that rule to Michelle Obama.
I dont know if you can impeach a first lady or how that would work, but I do know that we would have found out pretty fing fast if Michelle Obama had said the same during her husbands presidency, Savage said.

He also referred listeners to a ThinkProgress article about Melania Trump visiting a Washington, D.C. hospital where she reportedly said the power of nature could help heal sick children.
Savage said President Trumps environmental policies and repeal of Obamacare would both hurt those children.
He also cited a pre-Obamacare Harvard University study that linked 45,000 deaths each year to a lack of health care coverage.
Thats fifteen 9/11s every year, he said.

Savage, a longtime activist and left-wing provocateur who formerly hosted an MTV advice show, has previously launched campaigns that ranged from the cruelly mischievous to the widely praised.
He and his husband, Terry Miller, introduced the It Gets Better project in 2010, in which people including President Obama recorded hopeful messages urging bullied gay teenagers not to commit suicide. Savage is also responsible for ruining former Sen. Rick Santorums Google results.
Its looking like Melania Trump wont get an invitation to film an It Gets Better video anytime soon.
Romans 1:128-32 --- "28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."
Yeah, that's just wrong.
And marriage? What they do is something, so call it THAT (fill in the blank); but it isn't marriage. I wish it were not possible for them to have co-opted so much of the language, and then rubbed our noses in it.

With his fascination for perversion, I’m actually pleased he hates Melania. What a creepazoid!
I wonder how many trafficked women are in those porn ‘shorts’ he promotes? Maybe somebody should look into that.
Fag Hags have an interesting and sad pathology.
I’ve seen it hundreds of times.
