As expected, FR’s sodomy advocates showcase illogic yet again. What are you people doing here, anyway?
Consolidated reply:
skeeter: “For a million bucks I’d perform at Elton John’s wedding.”
Really? So, we’re just haggling over price, then.
aruanan: “Geez, try thought. The first one hurts, but it’ll get better as you go along.”
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. No arguments, to make, but as long as you’re on the side of self-righteous sanctimony, who cares?
Hildy: “He’s NOT endorsing sodomy..He’s endorsing the music he likes.”
Road apples. That’s preposterous on the face of it.
What was the reaction to Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13-year-old cousin? To the Dixie Chicks bad-mouthing America? To the Rolling Stones getting arrested for drug possession?
People demonstrate their disapproval of celebrity misconduct by not buying their stuff. When you hire a singer, you are signing on to everything that singer is, thinks and does. Thus it always was, and thus it will always be.
xjcsa: “I seriously doubt Elton John engaged in any sodomy while performing.”
Whew! That was a near thing. You almost got the point.
(Not really, but I hate for the logic-challenged to feel there’s no hope.)
SnakeDoctor: “Liking his music is not an endorsement of his life.”
Paying to listen to it most certainly is. Not sure about listening to a pirated copy in private, but there just seems to be something corrupt about that, too.
Supremedoctrine: “It’s no more an endorsement of sodomy than Elton’s performance is an endorsement of Rush.”
And no less. Old throat-warts will take a lot more flak from the left for accepting employment from Limbaugh than Republicans will give Limbaugh for hiring it. That’s why the Democrats are the evil party, and the Republicans are the stupid party.
“This whole thing oddly speaks both well AND ill for both of them.”
Public approval of a notorious boy-bonker and bone-smoker speaks well of Limbaugh in no way. Looks like the sodomite activists have either flim-flammed or frightened Limbaugh into refraining from telling the truth about them.
“Elton will announce he’ll give his fee to the Lesbian and Gay Transgender Alliance, or some such.”
Likely, and another reason that hiring him was a morally corrupt thing to do.
You are posting on a web site with members you do not agree with, so I guess you, by your own logical conclusion, are endorsing their comments just like you say Rush liking Elton’s music and paying him to perform at his wedding is an endorsement of his homosexuality.
