Freepers weigh in on the Big Gay Oscars

[marmar]

I get this morbid rush from peeking into FR, in a "gawking-at-a-train-wreck" kind of way.


:freak:


Can’t the gays just stick to the Tony Awards?

Can the brilliant Mr. Penn enumerate for us the rights that homosexuals don’t have?

If anything, they are beneficiaries of “affirmative action”, a form of reverse prejudice that gives them unfair advantage over those who are not queer.

Anyone notice how a great movie (Grand Torino) doesn’t even get a nomination for anything? Oh yeah, it had a conservative bent to it so, no soup for you!!

I disagree that the show was ok.

They had a comedy sketch that was disgusting, joking about Nazis having sex with little boys, they showed simulated sex and nudity and two grown men passionately kissing.

Then when they did the tribute to stars who have died in the past year the applause completely died out when they showed Charlton Heston on the screen. It resumed when they showed liberal stars who had died.

The dance and music parts of the show were a disgrace, multi cultural crapola.

Sean Penn did his usual kissing up politically but the man is so brain damaged that he had to take a piece of paper out of his pocket to read the names of people to thank.

Pathetic excuse for a human being, much less actor. He’s not worthy of being a pimple on Charlton Heston’s rear end.

I have been watching the Oscars since 1969 and this was the absolute WORST show I’ve ever seen. No exaggeration.

it's a demonstration of such emotional cowardice to be so afraid to be extending the same rights to a fellow man as you would want for yourself,"
I didn't watch, I never do, simply because watching a bunch of narcissists patting each other on the back is something I find nauseating. But, I have to say, gay folks have the same exact marriage rights as I do. They can marry someone of the opposite sex if they'd like. I can't marry my dog, or another woman, or whatever. So, it's not like I have a right they don't.

The “right” to have their relationships viewed as “normal” in our society.

They never will be, but that’s the “right” that they want, IMPOSED/FORCED on everyone.

I can see I didn’t miss much by completely ignoring the Oscars. We did laundry and watched an episode of Frasier.

Why do you people watch this crap?!

More knuckledraggery at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2191902/posts

[Stevenmarc]

1. ROFL "We did laundry and watched an episode of Frasier"

So I guess a show with two liberal elite brothers is more palatable than a whole theater filled with them.

[rurallib]

3. HeeHaw must not have been on.

[ellenfl]

7. niles and frasier were liberal elites? we must have been watching

different shows!

btw, i believe kelsey grammer (frasier) is a republican.

ellen fl

[Dawgs]

11. Kelsey Grammer is a rabid right wing republican.

[Aristus]

12. I'm pretty sure Stephen meant the characters of Frasier and Niles. The official book

of the TV show lists the character of Frasier Crane as a Democrat. I know Grammer is a Repuke, and I really hate that; but what can you do?

[Stevenmarc]

16. Exactly

Some of us can separate the character from the person playing the character.

[Dawgs]

32. You can, but I'm sure if that freeper knew those characters were Democrat they wouldn't be watching.

That was my point.

[Stevenmarc]

39. The worlds smallest book

Freepers that I have met at the opera.

The comedy of Fraiser's character is built on elitism that's why he stood out in Cheers, his trying to fit in with the everyman and not quite exactly getting it. It's also why when the character got his spinoff they needed his father and the eyesore recliner to throw a wrench in his perfect well designed apartment and his arts supporting life or quite frankly the show would not have worked.

Freepers aren't all that bright, they need to get the memo to understand what they are watching, and that was my point.

[ellenfl]

40. not to mention that there was nothing about their characters

that identified them as 'liberal' . . . except maybe their liberal use of coffee and wine . . . and i watched the show faithfully until the final year.

ellen fl

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. "liberal elite" I don't think so.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

36. And I'm sure the irony would be lost on them

But David Hyde Pierce is out and proud.

[jobycom]

2. At least I can be satisfied they will be listed beside the rest of the bigots of history

one of these days. Slave owners, segregationists, anti-suffragists, homophobes... their place in history is already written, I just wish we'd speed up putting them there.

Now I have to take a shower and talk to a decent human being.

[rurallib]

4. How many Oscars did 'American Carol' win?

edit to add - someday we will lose these anchors and AQmerican can finally start leading the way into the 21st century and quit being dragged back to the 15th.

[nxylas]

18. None, cuz of the librul conspiracy

Real Americans, heartland Americans, would have voted it best movie ever made.

If more than 20 of them had actually bothered to go see it, that is.

[jmowreader]

41. Movies that make $39.95 at the box office don't win Oscars

According to Wikipedia, its fourth weekend brought in $60,000 at 109 theatres, or $550 per screen.

[sui generis]

5. well you can only beat your wife so long before you get sore

and winded.

I would love to see what these freaks really look like, in real life.

I'll bet a picture's worth a thousand words with those people who think of themselves as the "acme" of normalcy.

[shadowknows69]

6. Apparently it's just us "homo loving commies" that spend hundreds of millions on HWood a year

Who would have thought there were so many of us?

[Tikki]

8. One of them was talking about a pimple on someone's ass...

Rush Limpballs is never very far away from their thoughts..is he!!!

Tikki

[pipi_k]

9. Bwahahahha...this stuff always cracks me up!!!!

One of the "morans" said...

Does this sound suspiciously like when the morals police come out in force and announce that this or that magazine is a travesty, and they can prove it because they read every single page....twice!!!

Or that they're against pot because they've smoked it for 20 years and it's OK for them, but they don't want their kids doing it...

Or...they've been married and divorced more times than Elizabeth Taylor, but letting gays have the right to marry will DESTROY the morals and values of the American family....


OMG.... they just don't realize how fucking insane they sound!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

10. Ironic that Freepers have such contempt for "narcissists patting each other on the back,"

isn't it? :rofl:

[LeftinOH]

13. They really need to start a "conservative" film awards show of their own..it could air on Fox-

that way, they'd be spared the leftist/commie/gay/perverted/whatever menace that happens to be frightening them at the moment. And- FWIW, Charlton Heston wasn't that great; he bulldozed through every role with the exact same voice and expressions- no range (just like John Wayne).

[Taverner]

14. The Klannies!

[gauguin57]

30. The Klannies! I love it!

:rofl:

[8 track mind]

34. "Soyent green is made uv peeeeepuuul!!!" n/t

[WI_DEM]

15. I too noticed that the applause meter went down measurably when Heston's name was mentioned

and then went wild again with Paul Newman. Look, Heston was a big advocate of allowing anybody to have guns while Newman gave away millions to charity thanks to his food products. Besides, Heston is a blow hard on the big screen while Newman was a real actor.

[Brazenly Liberal]

19. This is one of my favorite GOP hypocrisies

Railing against Hollywood and feigning disdain for celebrities is part of the standard issue GOP mouthcrap. And yet....... If you go back check the party affiliation of entertainers who have been elected to office, you'll see they are disproportionately Republican. Yep, those GOPhers put show folk into office every chance they get. I'm guessing any actor who's been in more than two movies can be elected to office if he's willing to put an (R) after his name. All this "Hollywood elite" crap is really just about their own feelings of inferiority and unrequited fandom.

[Beacool]

20. The Freepers can be scary at times:

This says it all:



:scared:

[rvablue]

21. Can someone please explain/translate this Freeper observation to me:

"they showed simulated sex and nudity and two grown men passionately kissing."

I watched the whole show and did not take note of this. Was I tuned into an alternate broadcast or is this just another strain of evidence that these people are completely deluded maniacs?

[EmilyAnne]

23. Isn't that what they see when people are dancing? Like my gay uncle always says, " I wish my life

was as wild and exciting as the Republicans imagine it to be." They talk like there is some non-stop orgy coming to your small town main street to take over your child's kindergarten play. The non-stop orgy is in their heads. Its no surprise that so many of them are closeted pervs. They sit around obsessing about "sex and nudity and two grown men passionately kissing."

I didn't watch them, but what the hell are they talking about Nazis having next with little boys?? What the hell?

[nxylas]

24. There was a joke about a Nazi having sex with little boys as the ultimate Best Actor-winning role

I forget who made it now, sorry.

[Beer Snob-50]

25. you must have the lefty box on your tv

the righty box is available for those who want to see what the msm doesn't want you to see.

[K8-EEE]

27. LOL, he's talking about clips from "Milk"

During one of the comedy sketches they did include a couple of kissy scenes from the movie.....just a few seconds but enough to freak out the freepers for sure!

[EmilyAnne]

22. Such overt racism in this comment...

"The dance and music parts of the show were a disgrace, multi cultural crapola."

I always see "multi -culturalism" mentioned on the right wing sites as something to be very, very afraid of. What, exactly, is the deal?

[K8-EEE]

26. Racists see "multi-culturalism" as polluting their aryan entertainment

Them coloreds are even on the country station these daze....lordy!

[gauguin57]

29. Yeah, really! "Multicultural crapola"?

Heaven forbid people of color should venture onto the Oscar stage. Freepers are still looking for Hope, Wayne and Sinatra to rise from the grave and save us all.

Yuck.

Ummmm ... Freepers ... what did you expect from an Academy Awards year when a film about India won best picture? Did you expect that you wouldn't see anything from another culture? Did you expect to see the U.S. Marine Band, or something?

[gauguin57]

28. Wow ... those are some serious Republican closet cases on there!

Anyone who is that obsessed with hating people who want to love who they love ... Well, methinks they all just protest too much.

I think those Freepers would feel better if they just came out, once and for all.

[gauguin57]

31. OK ... here's my fave: "I refuse to watch the Oscars...."

"I refuse to watch the Oscars. Hollywood is a disgusting, pathetic, morally bankrupt group of people."

Wow ... this from the folks who supported an administration that blatantly lied to the American people to get us into an immoral war ... an administration who climbed on top of a stack of the bodies of more than 3,000 dead Americans (from 9/11) and shouted that Iraq was connected to the 9/11 attacks (when they knew it was a lie) ... and then made up a fairy tale about WMD (again, knowing it was a lie) ... ALL JUST SO WE WOULD GO INTO A WAR THAT WOULD ALLOW BUSH ET AL TO REPAY THE MILITARY CONTRACTORS WHO PUT HIM IN OFFICE (oh, and also a little bit so we could steal their oil). Thousands of dead and maimed Americans; thousands of dead and maimed Iraqi civilians ... all to line the pockets of the Military-Industrial Complex.

And the Freepers loved them.

Talk about a bunch of disgusting, pathetic and morally bankrupt group of people ... Freepers, looking in the f*cking mirror, why don't you!!!???!!!

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Mad at the "multi-cultural" musical number?

WTF is wrong with having blacks and whites sing and dance together??? Jesus H. Christ, what planet are these assholes from?

And saying that gays have the same rights as straights? In what parallel universe????

[rucky]

35. They spelled "teh" wrong.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

37. That's a mighty big pile of stupidity,

but it is Freepers, after all.

[GinaMaria]

38. this one was interesting

I didn't watch, I never do, simply because watching a bunch of narcissists patting each other on the back is something I find nauseating.

doesn't that describe FR?
