‘Sodomy: We All Have To Pay!’ Coulter Debate On ‘Nannying’ Devolves Into Battle Over Gay Bathhouses

‘Sodomy: We All Have To Pay!’ Coulter Debate On ‘Nannying’ Devolves Into Battle Over Gay Bathhouses

Andrew Kirell

This might be perhaps the greatest segment of Geraldo at Large ever known to man. During what was supposed to be a debate about NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg‘s various “public health” laws — indoor smoking bans, hidden cigarette displays by mandate, bans on large sugary beverages, etc. — Ann Coulter attempted to flip the “liberal nannying” logic upside-down by bringing up illegitimacy, sodomy, AIDS, and gay bathhouses.

Suffice it to say the segment went off the rails. And did so quickly.

Anti-obesity advocate (and big Bloomberg fan) MeMe Roth started off praising the mayor’s various efforts by noting that he is a “student of behavioral psychology” who understands that “increasing the inconvenience just a little bit” will lead to better choices by the consumer.

Coulter was not having any of it. She tore into Bloomberg by suggesting we just be done with it already and “have a death penalty for smokers,” before changing the subject to the negative behaviors that liberals are unwilling to stigmatize, such as illegitimate birth.

Geraldo Rivera‘s efforts to corral the segment away from unwed teen pregnancy were for naught. When Roth made the claim that bans on various unhealthy activities are warranted because “we pick up the tab” for other’s bad habits, Coulter countered that “I think you’re going to have to do something about the gay bathhouses.” .....

I dunno how I feel about one of my favorite childhood cartoons being used in that context.

Damn good question. While there is no doubt that smoking can and does lead to serious health problems, homosexual activity leads to far, far worse.

Plus most smokers these days have acquired the decency to not be in your face with their habit, something the homos have not.

A friend and I were recently discussing why liberals were going after the obese instead of the homosexuals in terms of health. (We know why, but we were applying logic where liberals don't.) I sat down and found all the stats and crunched some numbers. I think it cost something like a few hundred million a year to treat all obesity related health problems in the US while it cost a couple billion dollars to treat all AIDS related/gay STD health problems in the US, despite the population suffering from those diseases to be much less than the population of obese people. Our health insurance premiums are going up much more from homosexual activity than obesity. So, why don't they penalize it?

Nice to see someone in the public eye finally mention this.

Using a bit of Brit vernacular, some fags are OK, some fags are not.

I'm asking out of ignorance — is that a real Ann Coulter Free Republic account or someone who signed up years ago using her name? With no posts since the account started, it's hard to tell.

I'm quite aware that there are numerous top-level conservatives who are Freepers but most if not all use something other than their real name.
