It is not bigoted to think that something is morally wrong, and take a stand against it. This does not mean that you hate homosexuals. It does not mean you want to see them persecuted.
The two options provided under the question required the responding party to admit they are a bigot. In a few moments on an escalator you can’t explain this in detail, so Bachmann declined to state.
It’s like asking someone if they’ve stopped beating their wife. If you say no, you’re supposedly still doing it. If you say yes, you’re admitting you once did it.
Kathy Griffin is capable of being funny. Sadly, she is foul mouthed and vulgar. Her twisted sense of what is right and wrong, causes her to be very offensive to some people and even more so to those who think homosexuality is wrong.
Most people who think homosexuality is wrong, are not incapable of being nice to them in a social setting. My wife and I have a homosexual couple that we like a great deal. We know others that we don’t socialize with nearly as much, but we don’t go out of our way to be disrespectful to them. If touchy subjects come up, I try to respectfully say what my true beliefs are, and they seem to respectfully disagree.
That’s a dynamic that Kathy Griffin hasn’t matured enough to grasp yet. I’m not convinced she ever will.
There is more to this issue than what meets the eye. Granting full equal rights to homosexuals in everyday public settings, means that the Left is free to indoctrinate children in grade school.
For that reason, it’s still a problem for many of us to accept homosexual marriage. Teaching little John and Jane that poking things in holes at their age is never acceptable, much less when we’re talking about two men.
Get a grip Griffen. Many homosexual understand this concept quite well. It’s only the activists that are trying to force this on our children. It IS NOT bigoted to object. It’s is sane and very important to OBJECT LOUDLY.
“Bigot” is the new HERETIC!!!
Liberals are always on a witch-hunt, looking for someone to burn at the stake.
What an idiotic piece.
Guess she would consider me a bigot. Must be great to be able to redefine terms as the libs and RINOs do so very glibly.
“Which is why, of course, I love Kathy Griffin. And I especially love her take on Michele Bachmann:”
Has Griffin suggested her black friends should gang rape her yet?
Bigot = someone who disagrees with Griffith
What a little Fascist
Kathy Griffen said both of Scott Brown's daughters are prostitutes.
I don't believe any of this story other than that Kathy Griffen stalked Michelle Bachmann to ask her pro homosexual questions and to ridicule her.
Kathy Griffen is an ugly, lying skank and nothing she says should be taken seriously.
FYI, the story is a fabrication. Griffin’s “jokes” are mostly “I ran into so-and-so and here is what happened.” Its all made up.
I hate to give her the benefit of attention, but I wonder, does it matter to Griffin that Obama (officially) opposes gay marriage, too?
“as a puppet for the GOP, she’s not in the habit of saying words that somebody else didn’t write for her first.”
At least she didn’t need totus to answer the ???.
Kathy Griffin is truly one of the most seriously disturbed women on the planet.
If Obama wants to reduce unemployment he should send about a million people for their psychotherapy degrees, because she could keep ‘em all busy for the rest of her natural lifespan.
“I mean, what Bachmann said to Griffin was so mindless, so oblivious, so good-lord-this-woman-really-isn’t-playing-with-a-full-deck-is-she ...”
How intelligent is someone who strings together monstrous hyphenated phrases because her brain can’t conjure appropriate adjectives, or someone who can’t string together thoughts in a short blog entry without resort to elipses every few paragraphs?
KG is a pig. She’s not funny and she is a sick twisted sl*t. Anyone who “loves” her like this fool writer, is just showing their ignorance.
JMHO, but Kathy Griffin is a walking yeast infection.
These days, I don’t have any trouble with “racism,” “bigotry,” “homophobia,” “Islamophobia,” etc.
Matter of fact, if a politician hasn’t PO’d the gays, feminazis, race pimps, and Islamists, they’re not worth voting for.
This DU level posting on FR is getting out of hand.
“Congresswoman Bachmann, were you born a bigot or did you grow into it”
#####
First off, you queers have intimidated and bullied yourselves into a postion of protected status. The need for ADDITIONAL gay rights are a mythology and an abomination.
To answer your ignorant, vocabulary-vacuous attack: No, I just recognize and abhor homosexuality, in the same way that our ancestors have throughout eons of history.
BTW, were you born a disgusting pervert or did you grow into it?
Who is Kathy Griffin? Sorry, but a) I never heard of her and b) If I had, sounds like someone to avoid.
Kathy Griffin was the actress who played a comedian with a 1 man show in Seinfeld.
Her whole show was to rip Jerry. She used personal encounters to create her popularity. When he stopped talking to her, she got stale and turned to Cramer.
Now, am I really supposed to believe that 20 years later Kathy Griffin had life immitate art? It’s a heck of a coincidence. I’m more likely to believe that she is immitating her character.
Further, if it did happen... It sounds like Bachman was being a smartass right back to Griffin.
