a jab at myself

Although I am a homophobe and proud of it, I came across this exchange on the internet and thought it was hilarious.

All words from this point are verbatim quotations:


"One of the stunts Nunn pulled back in the day was a little field trip with the MSM to a submarine to show them how close it was in those quarters, telegraphing the message that predatory ho-mo-sexuals were going to jump their fellow submariners for some Satanic nookey.

In a flash, Nunn lowered the tenor of the debate and created visions of promiscuous, unpatriotic gays and lesbians transforming our Navy into a hapless fleet of Sodomy Subs. All people wanted to talk about after this monstrosity was bunk beds.



Do they really think that putting a Southern White Guy on the ticket as VP will get rednecks to vote for Obama? Those people are going to vote Democrat even if Jesus Christ is on the ticket.

Arrrgh. Those people *aren’t* going to vote Democrat…

Proof reading is your friend.

I would think Jesus being on the ticket would make them even less likely to vote Democratic. Come on, they’re really going to vote for a long-haired Jew who wants them to love their neighbors and help the poor?

That’s a bit of an obscure name, anyway… when did he run, 1988?

There is an interesting discussion of another Southern white messiah, Jim Webb, here.

Jesus is an obscure name? Man, you don’t get out much, do you, norbizness?

For that matter Jesus didn’t run in 1988, it was 36 and he lost court decisions at both the Sanhedrin and Roman appellate court levels. Like Gore, but with a less salubrious retirement.

I like Sam Nunn but, unless his staffers molested a Senate page or something, it is wrong to fire people simply for being gay. I used to work for a gay man and he was one of the best bosses I ever had.
