U.S. Reporter Stages Gay Pride Protest on Russia Today (Video)
Moscow Times ^ | 08/21/2103 | Moscow Times

Posted on 08/22/2013 1:04:19 AM PDT by TexGrill

A U.S. reporter appearing on state-run television channel Russia Today on Wednesday to discuss the Bradley Manning verdict used his two minutes of airtime to protest Russia's anti-gay propaganda law and slam President Vladimir Putin.

James Kirchik, who was speaking via video link from Stockholm with Russia Today news anchors, wore rainbow-colored suspenders on the air and began his speech by noting that "being silent in the face of evil is something we can't do."

"So you know, being here on a Kremlin-funded propaganda network, I'm going to wear my gay pride suspenders and speak out against the horrific anti-gay legislation that Vladimir Putin has signed into law, that was passed unanimously by the Russian Duma … that effectively makes it illegal to talk about homosexuality in public. We've seen a spate of violent attacks on gay people in Russia."

One of the news anchors, apparently flustered by the unexpected comments, says, "We'll talk about it later. But what about Bradley Manning?"

"I'm not really interested in talking about Bradley Manning," Kirchik said. "I'm interested in talking about the horrific environment of homophobia in Russia right now. And to let Russian gay people know that they have friends and allies, and solidarity, from people all over the world. And we're not going to be silenced in the face of this horrific repression that is perpetrated by your paymasters, by Vladimir Putin."

"And I don't know how, as a journalist, you can go to sleep at night. How you can call yourself a journalist. And how you can go to sleep at night. I find that abominable. You should be ashamed of yourself. Everyone who works for this network should be ashamed of themselves," Kirchik said.

RT gets the last laugh: RT pays cab driver to dump James Kirchik on the side of the highway on his way to the airport after his studio appearance.

Typically this ‘happy’ guy has an attitude that most of the people in the world are of his ilk. Their numbers are inflated by their self puffing and blowing.

When the SHTF, I will laugh wilt glee (heh) knowing these pieces of human garbage will be the first sold into mad max style slavery by the feral libs they created/support.

Their 1-3 percent will be nothing when their disorder collapses. No one will help them, no one will want them. And they deserve what they get.

James Kirchik must think it is good to expose children to sodomy.

What a perv.

Probably a no-name journalist looking for a publicity stunt to boost his career.

Because words no longer men things in America and much of the rest of the world. They are situational like the ethics of their liberal speakers. Every man has his own truth you know. This journalist’s truth is he is a journalist. Any thinking person can see he’s a propagandist/homo activist and projecting heavily.BGut who are we to say?

On a related note, I have been declared King of Arizona by me. Of course my ‘truth’ doesn’t apply as I am not a lib. So my ‘truth’ is just crazy talk...Such is the logic of the liberal mind.

The second law of homosexuality:

To the healthy mind (heterosexual), sex is something you do.
To the diseased mind ("homosexual"), sex is everything you are

Nothing trumps gay activism in the minds of the diseased. If San Francisco would get nuked, the first thing the gays would complain about would be the bath houses closing and the "attack" on gays. The fact that several million non-gays would have gotten killed is trivial to them.

I’m beginning to think that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah primarily over their gay arrogance and pride more than just their perverted sex habits.

Wow! The arrogance of these perverts knows no bounds. I guess it grows out of the narcissism.

I wonder, though, why the Russian TV crew did not cut his mic.

I suspect that whoever wrote this piece was just so happy to have an excuse to present the American homo’s words, so that he himself could protest in a roundabout way the Russian law without getting into trouble.

Two sides of the same coin.
