Carrie Prejean has canceled public appearances designed to promote her new book after two major developments in the conservative starlet’s public image.
First, it was reported that a controversial video tape of Prejean had surfaced during settlement negotiations with her former Miss America pageant bosses. Prejean was 17 when she made the tape, which she said was meant for her boyfriend’s eyes only.
TMZ, the media outlet that had obtained the tape, said they did not publish it on their website because it was “so racy.” Because of it, they claimed, Prejean received nothing from her back-and-forth lawsuits with Miss America and was riddled with paying her own lawyers’ bills.
More recently, Prejean threatened to walk off the set of Larry King’s nightly news show when King asked her repeated questions about her confidential settlement with Miss America Pageant officials, and then patched in a call to her from a listener. Prejean called the questioning “inappropriate,” took her mike off, and after about a minute of on-air silence, King broke for a commercial.
Critics immediately used the developments as reasons why Prejean was unqualified to speak about her opinions on gay marriage.
“Prejean -- Family Doesn't Always Come First,” read a TMZ headline. Since then, Prejean cancelled her keynote speech at the New Jersey Family Policy Council’s Defenders of the Family fundraiser, an appearance at an invitation-only event at the National Republican Club of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., and numerous other radio segments.

That you refer to Miss USA as a "flesh contest" equal to "hustler or playboy" seems to pin you as a person too prude to go to a beach and expose yourself to bikinis. But does it really? Because someone THAT prude for supposed religious reasons would NEVER try to undermine a woman courageous enough to defy gay marriage on a national stage, and choose to risk losing the pageant to stand up for her Christian beliefs.
And as for lying, what part of "private" do you not understand? Those photos were private - no one's business, asked for or not. She did not make them for public portrayal, so she did not "lie" about their existence, since they had no public existence until political operatives dug them up and blackmailed her.
You are pounding on a liberal hate-caricature of Christians as Bible-thumping backwoods prudes in gingham dresses with Pa holding a shotgun. But what escapes you is why Carrie Prejean has been pursued by the gayMSM lobby for destruction far past the pageant: because Christians by the millions are proud of her, that's why.
So, since they can't argue with her, the gay activists have decided to blackmail her into silence, and then defame the very religious strength with which she defied them - in other words, perpetrate the most evil possible sort of character murder, based on nothing but lies and blackmail. This vicious, merciless, hateful punishment is what they're really about, not sexual freedom, but destroying people who dare disagree with their liberal collective.
And you're helping them with everything you've got.
Oh I see. Then it's perfectly alright that she made the sex tapes as long as she doesn't agree with same sex marriage? Believe me, had she known those tapes were going to be released, she would have given a different answer...OTOH, her past would have eventually caught up with her. As for my "personal lack of compassion" argument you put forth, that's a straw man. What the hell does compassion have to do with what she did? Ever heard of personal accountability?
It is what it is.

No, the rules do not trump a person's private life. You do not have to treat as a confessor the rules of the Miss USA contest. It is not lying to have a private life outside of that contest. If you want to talk honesty, then the rules should have warned that disagreement with the gay agenda will cost you the contest, and subject you to all-out war financed by deep pockets who will sic PIs on you and deny you any shred of decency, in the name of giving gays special rights.
Your refusal to acknowledge the inhumane hell unleashed upon her is disgusting. And your forcing her into "standard-bearer mode" is utterly dishonest - she voluntarily gave up "standard-bearer mode" to speak her truth. That's WHY whe lost, and she knew it when she did it. At most, her persecution should have ended there - but still it goes on, and still you approve.
And I don't "get" it?! LOL! I "get" it just fine - your agenda is clear as glass.
How is she not personally accounting for her actions? She was no more than simply - and graciously (btw) - honest, but is being hunted like an animal and whipped with lies and hate - but she somehow deserves this? Ever hear of privacy? Ever hear of blackmail? What the hell does a private tape never intended for public view have to do with standing against gay marriage, or against special rights for selected classes of people? Why should one be linked with the other? She lost the crown for speaking her truth - why wasn't that rape of the conest rules enough? Why should she be hounded now? Why does she have to be more perfect than anyone else just because she agrees with millions of Americans about traditional marriage?
It is what it is - the unlimited funding of war against a private individual, to crush her into silence and create fear in the population for anyone else who dares speak against the gay collectivist fist.
Believe me, had she known those tapes were going to be released, she would have given a different answer...
Yeah, and if those damn Jews knew what was going to happen to them for speaking out against that upstart Hitler, they would have given a different answer too. And if those damn Kulaks knew what was going to happen to them for speaking out against that upstart Stalin, they would have given a different answer too. And if those damn Kuomintang knew what was going to happen to them for speaking out against that upstart Mao, they would have given a different answer too. SO WHAT?
Her "behavior" was private. But since you're such a fan of the "Good Book," maybe you can point out the part where it supports the hunting down and crushing into silence supporters of traditional marriage because they aren't virgins, or the defense of special rights for a small group of people, or the organization of financing for private investigators and blackmail - you know, the moral attributes of the liberal cause.
While you're at it, I'd like you to explain why the Song of Solomon is so filthy that no Christian is allowed to read it, how no Christian masturbates or is ever seen on a beach in a bikini, or how the Bible clearly describes marriage as a bond between any two people including gays and lesbians.
HONESTY is my AGENDA ,,, Cheat to win is your’s ,,,,,
PS> If you think I am pro-gay ,, You ARE an IDIOT !!!
I will not respond further to your stupidity ,,,, BYE!!!
I don’t think she ever said she was a role model. You may be missing the point...she simply gave a honest answer to a question about gay marriage, and as a result, she was savaged by the intolerant fascist fag element of the gay community. Surely you don’t condone that.
Megadittos.
Especially, if every book they read, song they heard, TV show they watched and classroom they were in discouraged making value judgments about exposure, nudity and extra-marital sex.
I’m sure you think you’re being oh so cute, but to the best of my knowledge, Carrie never claimed to be a role model. All she said was that she believed that marriage is something between a man and a woman-and the intolerant homo left raked her over the coals for it. I hope you don’t support the Brown Shorts.
Actually, one of the people in charge of the pageant basically pressured her to get those implants.
Let her fade away folks. Its the best thing that can happen right now.
If you were to find yourself in the public eye for making a comment deemed to be inadequately pro-homosexual and the social nazies investigated you and started broadcasting your incidents of moral impurity would you prefer the rest of us shun you or defend you?
Per a certain long haired Hebrew, "Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?" If you are going to behave as a harlot/p-hound, you have ZERO grounds to criticize the sodomites.
You may be missing the point. All she did was to just giver her honest opinion on gay marriage, and because of that the Brown Shorts raked her over the coals. IMO, this is about free speech and not letting fascist Political Correctness get away with using totalitarian methods. To the best of my knowledge, no one said that Carrie was a saint.
So if someone were to ask you if gay marriage should be allowed and you said you thought it was a bad idea it would be fair to subject you to public humiliation for your misdeeds?
Or are you saying that only people without sin can say that gay marriage is maybe a bad idea?
You do understand that she was not the one who brought up the matter, right?
“Let her fade away folks. Its the best thing that can happen right now.”
I think that Carrie herself may prefer that. The question is: Will the fascist faggots of the Brown Shorts allow that?
If you are her new PR agent, you’re doing a miserable job.
