Freepers Frothing Over Alan Keyes' Lesbian Daughter

[ruggerson]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1342713/posts

This thread once and for all demonstrates how mentally ill many of them are.

Question:

To all of them who posted that they too would throw a gay child out of the house and cut off communication with them, because homosexuality is a "sin," would they also cut off communication with a child who gets divorced? Major "sin" there, divorce, you know.

The hypocrisy over there is mind boggling.

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Real nice...

To: RWR8189
Thank the Lord for godly parents like Alan Keyes and others who understand the depth of this issue.

[DulceDecorum]

33. But yet Jeff Gannon, conservativeguystudmuffin is A-OK?

and so was Pim Fortuyn who openly advocated for sex with small children
(and was probably killed for just that.)

Mary Cheney is welcome at
the house of her lesbian-leaning mom Lynn
as is the guy who gaily man-smooched Lieberman
to demonstrate the State of the Closet.

[Renew Deal]

2. lol, Half the freepers are closet homosexuals.

Let those losers go nuts. Maybe some of them will even get banned.

[noonwitch]

4. That would explain their fixation on guns

We know what Freud would say.

[Jamastiene]

3. I smell blood

They are unhappy and demoralized. Let's pounce. We'll divide them and conquer. Time to revel in wicked delight in their misery. Now Keyes will have to answer to them and it won't be easy. I am interested in how he will explain himself. Considering that some of their very theories suggest that a lesbian must have had an overbearing father. I'd love to take their own words and beat them over the head with them. Jackals.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. This quote KILLS me...

What a shame and embarrassment she is to a man of high character and honor, she was brought up to know the truth, and only the truth will set her free. She can't love her parents that much or she would have stayed in the closet.

BWA HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! What a fucking dipshit!!!!! :D

[gollygee]

13. Oh now that's just sad

If she loved her parents she'd stay in the closet? That's heartbreaking.

If her parents loved her, they'd be glad she isn't living in the closet so she can be happy.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

18. It's a laugh or cry situation.

I'd rather laugh at how retarded they are, personally.

[hollywood926]

6. OH my G-g-g-g-god...

How scary are they? Who ARE those people? Maybe it's because I live in Southern California, but most Republicans I know personally are not THAT hate-filled and homophobic. They may be against gay marriage, but they aren't in favor of disowning your gay child.

They just get the worst of the worst on that site, don't they?

[snippy]

15. They are the republican party. Every moderate republican empowers

these people. Many people who vote republican fail to understand this fact.

[ThorsHammer]

28. Not so fast my friend

Many moderate Republicans don't necessarily vote Republican/neocon. The ones that do automatically vote a straight ticket enable the neocons, but many of us don't anymore.

[American Tragedy]

34. Even Goldwater endorsed a Democratic candidate for Congress

when he saw how entrenched in the religious right the opposing Republican candidate was.

[snippy]

37. I should have made it more clear that I meant to refer to

the automatic republican straight ticket voter.

[ThorsHammer]

38. Fair enough, I understand completely, no offense taken

[RebelOne]

7. They are all a bunch of religious fanatics.

That's my opinion. All they do is quote from the bible.

[Stockholm]

11. Many are...

"Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God. He makes these kinds of decisions."

Ok then!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

20. God makes decisions so you don't have to!

*cough* SCAPEGOAT!! *cough*

[sellitman]

27. The Christian Taliban is all they are.

These Ditto heads are a sad lot! Every last one of them!

[dolo amber]

8. I'm most shocked by the fact

that anyone even cares about Alan Keyes anymore... :shrug:

[mopinko]

24. oh, no

he is alive, and well, and up to trouble here in chicago. the illinois republican party is in such mess, there is a vacuum for him to step into.

[chelsea0011]

9. and she still loves her parents through their hatred towards her

Christ would be proud, but freeps wouldn't understand

[Walt Starr]

14. Actually, she moved into her Father's Illinois address to help on his

Carpetbagging Senatorial campaign.

He dumped her on the street when he no longer needed her.

[Toucano]

10. Death to the lobster eaters!

Their blood shall be upon them!

Eating shell fish is a sin, you know.

Yet they don't picket the Red Lobster.

[Walt Starr]

16. Stone the Shrimpists!

And hang the mollusk consumers!

[BOSSHOG]

12. Love your Headline!

Bad Human. Stay in the closet. Repress your urges. Until daddy comes home. First I'll check in at free republic and then daddy and his little girl can play.

[TlalocW]

17. Okay, this is how many now?

Phyliss Schlaffley (2*sp?) has a gay son.
The Cheneys have a lesbian daughter.
Some anti-gay nutjob in California(?) named Knight(?) has a gay son.
My extremely conservative and religious uncle has a lesbian daughter (okay so that one's not famous)
Now Keyes.

The argument I've used against my conservative nutjob friends who think the world of these people is that they're either bad parents who obviously can't raise their kids right if they can't stop them from "turning" gay, or it's time to admit that sexual identity is at least partly genetic.

You know, maybe if Phyliss had followed her own advice and stayed home and raised her kids like a woman should instead of gallivanting around the country meddling in politics, her son wouldn't be gay. ;)

TlalocW

[ruggerson]

19. There's tons more

Newt's sister, John Ashcroft's son (rumor has it), Shirley Temple Black's kid (tho she was a moderate Repub), etc

[ET Awful]

22. Doesn't Fred Phelps have a gay son?

:evilgrin:

[Ian David]

23. They had better look in their own closets to see what they might find.

There are LOTS of Freeper closet filled with all kinds of "sins."

[tinfoilinfor2005]

25. "It's akin to getting leprosy."

Perhaps this english major freeper will someday have the opportunity to experience leprosy and to observe his own dick falling off.

[smoogatz]

26. Fundamentalists choose "faith" over family

Somehow, a few Bible verses aremore important than your own children. Fundies only care about family in the abstract,

[11 Bravo]

30. So are you saying that ...

Friendly frolicking frauleins foment frenzied frothing freepers?

[Ravenseye]

31. They're Hypocrites

"Let me try to explain this slowly, so any liberals reading can understand it."

buh...duh....ok george...

"Homosexuality is a sin. The Bible says so. The Bible is the Word of God. He makes these kinds of decisions."

What if you're not Christian and don't believe in it's writings? Why do you defend one passage in Leviticus, while ignoring so many others?

"And the fact that certain offspring choose a sinful sexual practice does not reflect on the parents. It's called "Free Will," a concept that is alien to the sheep mentality that pervades liberalism, but one that God allows."

So...you're for 'free will' but you're against letting gay people make their own choices? Shouldn't you be then arguing for gay people to get married so they have 'free will'?

How is 'Free Will' alien to liberalism when the conservatives are the ones who walk to take away choices, while the liberals want to give them choices.

What hypocracy.

[skypilot]

32. Un-fucking-believable!!!!!

"What a shame and embarrassment she is to a man of high character and honor, she was brought up to know the truth, and only the truth will set her free. She can't love her parents that much or she would have stayed in the closet.

Man of high character and honor???

...or she would have stayed in the closet????

I'm speechless.

36. The truth about their kind of family values

Shining in the light for all to see and jeer at. To turn their daughter out of the family... Dogs have better values.

on edit - and I'm insulting dogs when I compare them to these humans. These people don;t know what real "family values" are and never will. Thick and thin, people... thick and thin. It's not just for your wedding vows.
