Wonkette
Last night, Sean Penn won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as Harvey Milk, a dead gay politician, in the film Milk. GOOD FOR HIM. In his acceptance speech, Penn said, “I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect, and anticipate their great shame, and the shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that way of support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.” Immediately after hearing this, your Wonkette thought, Holy Poo, the conservative blog Big Hollywood is probably writing hilarious things, ha. Well, it was.
Here’s the reaction from “Hollywood actor and producer” Dallas Jenkins, who hates Hollywood and actors and producers:
Yeah, Sean…
by Dallas JenkinsYou actors are the courageous ones who have faced “enormous challenges,” not the men and women who fight for you to have the right to be such a monumental prick without getting your neck slit by Islamo fascists. And you can joke about being “homo-loving,” but believe me, they’d come after you first for it. So enjoy your freedom to joke.
Jesus, whenever conservatives get upset about someone saying or doing anything they don’t like, they love invoking the “Well you should be HONORED to have the FREEDOM to do that terrible thing you just did, because the MUSLIMS wouldn’t let you do that.” Okay!…??
Here’s some illiterate goblin named “Jude:”
I had forgotten why I don’t watch these things
by Judebut there it is. yuch. most popular boy in school wins for message film over a once-in-a-decade performance.
And here he goes. Fuck you, Sean Penn, for talking to people like that. Shame like yours for not applauding Elia Kazan? Shame like being a patsy for Hugo chavez? The. Worst.
Andrew, you can’t pay me enough to do this again next year. At my house, we’re taking another ten years off from this garbage unless we’re up there sitting next to Whittle. Ouch. It’s going to take me weeks to shake this off. He thinks he makes it hard? he makes it easy - imperative - to vote for him.
Thanks for sharing Jude!
And the best reaction, ever — nothing to do with Sean Penn, but something else — comes from Ms. Debbie Schlussel about how the Muslims took over America officially when the Indian guy from the Indian movie said something:
Is This the First “Allahu Akbar” Oscars?
by Debbie SchlusselSo Muslim music dude A. R. Rahman said, “Allahu Akbar,” upon winning the first of two Oscars he’s won so far. He says it means, “god is great.” Uh, no. It means, “allah is the greater” or “allah is the greatest,” meaning greater than your and my G-d or the greatest above your or my G-d. And that’s part of my tiny objection to “Slumdog Millionaire,” which I loved. It shows us the scene of a brutal massacre of Muslims by Hindus. It’s the same problem we see on a much smaller scale with regard to Oscar nominee, “Waltz with Bashir .” They don’t show the plethora of Muslim massacres and violence against Hindus and Sikhs and Christians in India.
Ironically, “Rahman,” mean mercy or the merciful. Too bad he didn’t have mercy on the Oscar audience to leave the Islamic chant we hear in Nick Berg videos out of it.
We’ll say it again: imagine waking up every morning as these people, having to know who you are.
Big Hollywood: Suck. A. Dick.
They’re here. They’re queer. Get over it.
He better be glad those soldiers died so his parents could name him something douchey like “Dallas Jenkins”.
All I did was get drunk and try to figure out why Sophia Loren’s hand was stuck to her hip.
My favorite, from Newsbusters.org:
“Gay marriage basically undermines the sanctity of the holy matrimony in which man and woman become one flesh to recreate the holy trinity of man,woman and child. The Bible calls gayness an abomination in both the OT and NT. And yet, liberal liars try to convince people that it’s not really condemned. Yes, it is! So one has to wonder why gays want to redefine marriage. Because that way they can fool people and especially susceptible teens into accepting a lifestyle that is sinful and a self-destructive addiction. THIS is why gays want the blessing from the Church. They can just as well have civil unions. The problem lies in the wrong message we send to our children. We know that the vast majority of gays and lesbians have emotional traumas from childhood and at least half of them were even sexually abused. Thus, they were not born gay but became gay because of emotional distress. We know how many kids have serious issues to deal with. And when they see that gay marriages are legal, paired with the gay propaganda from Hollywood and MTV that gayness is harmless and cute, there is a high chance of them acdopting the gay lifestyle. And where does this gay lifestyle end? Two thirds of all AIDS cases involve gays ! On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners! On average, a gay has a life expectancy of 40 years which is less than a chain smoker’s!
Two thirds of gays admit that they are unhappy with their gayness and this is not because of discrimination. It’s because they know they are sinners and because they never dealt with the chidhood abuse that made them gay.
Half of the females on death row are lesbians! Remember Eileen Wuornos, the serial killer who was portrayed by Charlize Theron in „Monster”? She was gay, too.
And let’s not forget that gays end up like sad old duffers without kids and a family to look after them. And God created sex for man and woman to have progeny. A man could never love another man as much as a man his wife. Why? Because the fact that a wife can give a man a child elevates their love to a whole new dimension that gays could never achieve. The gays’ so-called love is merely a poor imitation of real love because there is nothing to elevate their love to the same level as between man and woman. Gay sex is mere idolatry for its own sake. And this is yet another reason why gays are never really happy: It’s pointless. What’s left after the first crush is over to keep gays together and help them bond? Eventually, the sex cannot save them from their meaningless lives without kids. They have gay sex, feel guilty about it, then have more sex to relieve the concomitant distress. Their lives are defined by their deviant sexuality and whenever somebody strays from the norm, their lives are defined and dictated by their deviance. This is why gays go to gay clubs and gay bars and gay olympic games! The only reason these people gather is sex! They have nothing else in common but sex!
So all in all there are good reasons not to allow gays to convince the public that their perverted sexuality is normal and harmless. Gays are not only a danger to themselves, but they also chip away at the basic foundations of society be it through their promiscuity and inability to have a family(the basis of society) or through the veneral diseases that are rampant among them which they pass on to other people too. They try to exculpate themselves by lying that they were born gay so that they can claim no control over their misdeeds. Even if they were born gay, since when does that make a deed acceptable or not? If somebody was born a murderer, the murder becomes legitimate?!
So if Sean Penn says we should be ashamed of Prop8, we know that these words come from a dangerous ignoramous who is out to destroy society. Satan knows very well how to use the mass media to destroy society. He knows that if he can redefine marriage and seduce enough kids to gayness, he can demolish society.”
“Yeah but..Richard Simmons???
It means, “allah is the greater” or “allah is the greatest,” meaning greater than your and my G-d or the greatest above your or my G-d.
I have never met anyone who writes “G-d” rather than “God” who is not an insufferable prick. They may be out there, but I’ve never met one.
Careers for homos: Actor, Priest, Department Store Window Designer.
Hugo Chavez: every night I go to bed wondering what awful things this evil dictator of a temporarily-enriched third-world nation can do to me, an American. And I can’t think of any.
Why is the Right so obsessed with this guy? Is it because he’s pals w/the Cubans? Are the ex-Havana-whorehouse owners in Miami still so powerful in American politics, even after Hopey won Florida?
you cannot be serious: You mean that WAS Sophia Loren? I thought it was female drag night at the Cosmo. Her “tan” looked like it was made from melted copper and slathered on.
That Debbie Schlussel comment… gah. Jesus Christ. There is nothing I can say about it that wouldn’t get me in trouble with the DHS, because all of it involves wishing someone would launch a jihad upon her pasty white ass.
I am grateful to Big Hollywood — if only for making the bumper-sticker Hollywood liberals less embarrassing in comparison.
On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners!
Holy shit, that’s awesome. You go, Gays!
This is the first male/non-stripper that I’ve ever heard of having the name Dallas. Lucky for him, the “Islamo fascists” hate the homos too.
I love Sean Penn, and his speech was fantastic. But I’ve never been able to understand how he can hang out with a total fag-hater like Hugo Chávez and still get love from Teh Gays. And all the gays I know are complete capitalism-loving money bags. So the world continues to make no sense.
They should be glad Sean Penn didn’t hold his Oscar up to the camera and say “Yo, bitches, suck on this.”
…these people make Allan Keyes look semi coherent.
“Allah is the greater”???
When did Allah u Akbar ever mean that, ever?
Who would even say that, as a phrase?
Fucking hell.
Dave J.: Leaving that aside, don’t Christians and Jews believe that “there is no other God”? I mean, it is literally incoherent to complain about Rahman putting “his God” above “my God” when you believe that there is only One God. Oh, and by the way, Rahman and all other Muslims believe that Allah is IDENTICAL to Yahweh and the God of the Christians, He has just chosen to reveal himself to different peoples in different ways. There is no way that any Muslim could consider “Allah” to be somehow greater than the Christians’ God, because Muslims believe they are the same thing.
Jesus f*cking Christ.
Jebus, who has time to write a blog about what they don’t like about Hollywood? If you don’t like the movies, go back to carding wool for entertainment.
Dear Bigots:
You can believe what you want (see, I believe in the Constitution), but guess what? Your RELIGIOUS belief has no fucking business in my LAWS. You can prevent gays from marrying in your church. You can hate gays. You can feel threatened when gays love each other. But you cannot codify your purely religious beliefs to become the law of the land because there is no rational or credible or logical basis for these laws except religious underpinnings. There are purely religious bigotry made into secular law.
Oh shit, too late. You already did this. In a lot of states and on the federal level with DOMA. Well, guess what? Us sane people who believe in equality under LAW (maybe not under your GOD) will win. Eventually. Trust me.
You thought ‘Holy Poo’? Really?
Sean Penn pisses me off and his wingnuttery is almost as annoying as any RW botard’s but the RW whining about Elia Kazan et al?
Oh yeah. Kazan is a true hero because he ratted out friends as communists to save his own ass is honorable.
Stick to making more “Left Behind” Movies.
I think the eldest Jonas is a secret muslin - did they post anything about that? Check out his eyebrows if you don’t believe me.
You would think Jude would have a little love for the Islam-o-fascists, knowing they hate gays as much as he does.
Larry Fine: You forgot Republican politician.
Beatrix:
That is a whole lot of crazy. But it does explain why my husband doesn’t love my blighted womb as much as he would a nice fertile Dugger-type woman.
Incredulicious: I’m only a capitalist so I can pay for my gym membership and steroids. And vodka. Lots and lots of vodka.
Larry Fine:

First Director of the FBI?
Debbie Schlussel is a cum dump for dirty donkey dicks.
HopeyDope:
Or Harvey Milk
Beatrix: It is really sad that these people still exist in the world (but, then there are those who think it’s wrong for the races to “mix”). I think Dustin Black, who won for the Milk screenplay, said it best and it made me cry. “You are loved.” A lot of these bigoted homophobes don’t know what they are talking about 99 percent of the time. Many of them are “trapped” in loveless marriages where they use sex to try to make things better and it turns out worse. The bad thing is that they often do have children who suffer at the hands of yet another broken home.
A couple of NYT op-ed folks had what I thought was a pretty good solution (and probably where all this will wind up) which is a federal “civil union” law and leave the “rite of marriage” to the church. I agree. Str8 unions, gay unions, all would be recognized by the government. The church, which is a private entity, can recognize what it wants (I can’t theologically take communion at a Catholic church since I’m not Catholic. It’s their right to not serve me.).
As an out homo, I know I can’t change everyone’s mind and I’ve pretty much given up trying. I’m out at work, out at church and folks can make their judgements about me based on that, if they want. I’m a good guy who tips 20 percent, picks up the check most of the time and tries to care about other people. I’m happily single (I’m of an age where we didn’t really want to get married…that was one of the benefits of being gay). But, enough of this culture war. It’s old, tired and dying. Anyone under 40 doesn’t care any more and they can wait out all the people over 50 who do.
The way neo-cons see it:
U.S. soldiers in Iraq= Freedoms defended in the U.S.
The way rational people see it:
U.S. soldiers in Iraq + A Constitution + A Bill of Rights + A nuclear stockpile + an overall global reliance on several key facets of U.S. society= Freedoms defended in the U.S.
I’m pretty sure all conservatives are born named “Debbie Schlussel,” and some simply opt to change it later on in life.

Attn: Debbie Schlussel
I see that you have typed in assorted words related to your rudimentary understanding of various religions on the internet. I do not give a shit and/or a flying fuck about any of them, including yours. Thank you for shutting the fuck up, The Atheist Nun
“And you can joke about being “homo-loving,” but believe me, they’d come after you first for it.”
C’mon. That’s ridonkulous. There’s no way they’d come after Sean Penn first.
Rip Torn, maybe.
And that’s Islamofascism I can get behind. So to speak.
(Did I say Rip Torn? I meant Rip Taylor. But then again, who knows what Torn has done…)
You know the stereotype of the hopeless nerds, living in their parents’ basements, totally disconnected from normal human discourse, using a computer to rant on forums/masturbate to animated japaese hentai?
Well, this type of crap makes me believe such beings actually exist, although I picture this group as follows: den/trophy room in a dark cellar, listening only to a crackly AM radio whose knob has been ripped off (so it stays tuned into their dark god of puss and bile, Rush). They have only recently discovered the internet, and now realize that it’s not entirely evil and full of debauchery. No, there are other cave-dwellers out there, and you can communicate with them without having to leave the safety of your sanitized bubble! Fox News provides the lovely background noise for this lair.
Dave J.: The G-d think is hilarious. I mean, historically, it comes from the prohibition against speaking God’s true name, which ‘God’ isn’t. That’s, if you’re Jewish, “YHWH” which is only an approximation itself. I love it when ‘religious’ people display they’re vast ignorance about theological questions. They’re all too busy jumbling traditions to fit in the little box of fear and self-loathing that is their minds.
And also: they’re just jealous cause Penn is one sexy dude.
Johnetic: Isn’t Midnight Clear the steroid that got Barry Bonds in so much trouble?
Waitaminute! He did Jingle Bells!?!! I love that song!!! Especially the part about the snow!!! Also!!1!
Johnetic: “Annoying Cop” Was that typecasting?
Thanks for the research. Very funny result.
Johnetic: This reminds me of what someone once said about porn stars: at least they’re not all frustrated directors.
Dallas Jenkins is hilarious.
I mean, he’s the son of the guy who wrote the “Left Behind” schlock and is only a “Producer” because he’s using dad’s money to make dad’s stories into movies, and he’s only an actor, because he happens to be a producer of said movies.
Seriously, if this is the best Breitbart can do to get “Hollywood insiders” or whatever it is he’s trying to pass off as enlightened people, he needs to give it a rest.
I think he’s just pissy he didn’t get an Oscar’s swag-bag.
Dallas Jenkins is actually the son of the morbidly obese “writer” Jerry Jenkins, whose used his buttload of paranoid evangelical Left Behind money to fund his son’s . . . career. I used to work for a book agent that represented Jerry, and remember Dallas charmingly referring to a young black entertainer (I think it was Bow Wow) as a niglet.
Violenza: Seriously. I think he was adopted from a Muslin burial ground. Why is he brown while the others are white? I WANT TO SEE THE RECEIPTS.
Debbie Schlussel knows all about the Nick Berg video, as she uses it for pornographic purposes.
ManchuCandidate: wow! i haven’t heard ‘botard’ since childhood… i thought that was a strictly rochester, ny regional slur. Now I want to push some botards off a snowpile…
…..”Whittle” who?
Johnetic: I love that DJ cast himself as “annoying cop.” Must have been type-casting.
Dave J.: magic titty: Seriously, dude. My G_d could totally beat the crap out of your G_d.
Beatrix: My favorite part of this: despite the overwhelming batshit insanity, whoever wrote this *spelled and used “concomitant” correctly.*
Jim: “Jesus, whenever conservatives get upset about someone saying or doing anything they don’t like, they love invoking the “Well you should be HONORED to have the FREEDOM to do that terrible thing you just did, because the MUSLIMS wouldn’t let you do that.””
I always interpret that as meaning “hey liberals, we could change our mind and crush your freedom pretty easily, so you BETTER BEHAVE.” So, basically, they’re just like the extremist Muslim regimes, only douche-ily passive-aggressive about it.
Beatrix: On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners!
Holy shit where do I sign up.
Jukesgrrl: You beat me.
MarieDeGournay: All I know is that my computer teacher in sixth grade was named “Ged” and he was very nice. Why does he now “belong” to this woman?
Dave J.: Yeah, and wouldn’t saying “G-d” comparatively to Muslim dude’s “god” speak to the underlying comparison that her god, who must be expressed with a hyphen because he’s so hot, is greater than Muslim dude’s? Someone skipped Symbolism Day in Freshman Comp.
Hey Dallas Jenkins - perversely those brave mens and womens overseas also fight for your right to sit around at home and have pretty much nothing on your mind to worry about - except what some actor guy you will never meet in your life said for a few seconds on an award show you will never set foot into. Must be pretty tough to be you!
magic titty: No, it means God is the Greeter, like at WalMart
Oh, what was the verdict again? Christ potatoes? Jesus gremlins? I don’t recall, but these folks seem to fit the bill perfectly.
On the plus side, at least now I can tell my husband that he’s allowed to have an affair if it turns out that I’m infertile, because my barren womb will automatically make him love me less. Good for him.
“they love invoking the “Well you should be HONORED to have the FREEDOM to do that terrible thing you just did,”
I never understood their “logic”. We should be so grateful for our rights that we should brag about having them but never ever use them.
Kind of like grandma’s good china.
We’ll say it again: imagine waking up every morning as these people, having to know who you are.
This implies a degree of self-awareness which, as we have already repeatedly established, they do not possess. Also see dissonance, cognitive.
space stout: Are you this man?
On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners!
Most straight wingnutz would like to have that many partners, too. They just can’t get a woman to say “yes”.
Oh, Dallas. Poor guy. Yeah, so Stephen Baldwin got higher billing than you on your last picture. True, the only movies you make are of the Christian variety, and even the critics don’t show up for those. And sure, you wouldn’t even have a career if not for daddy. But you’re a unique snowflake, and it’ll be just fine. You can step out of the closet now.
Dallas likes Phallas
space stout:
Gym Membership AND steroids! I’m only at 499, you can help me get to my 500 quota.
Beatrix: 1000 partners?! Somebody must have forgotten to give me my key to the Magical Closet of Infinite Sexings, ’cause my gay ass hasn’t gotten any of THAT action.
Jim didn’t mention this, but I scrolled through some of the articles at the site. There is one that is getting a wingnut following: Obama was protected by the “liberal” media and Palin was trashed by it. It has to be that! It cannot be the case that the country rejected them and their party. It just can’t.
A Muslin won the Preznint elections and a movie with Muslin protagonists won the Oscars. The Muslinization of the land will be complete when Barry appoints a Muslin Qadi to the Supreme Court. Obviously, the Muslin/Gay conspiracy of the 21st century took over from the Jewish/Communist conspiracy of the 20th century.
Godot: Close- but I don’t shave my back.
Homophobes watching the Oscars? Isn’t that like vegetarians watching Bobby Flay? I mean what the fuck did they expect?
Do you think that there is a liberal stupid enough to try and scrape out a career in NASCAR circuit and while doing so, they start a blog that totally shits on the attitudes and political beliefs of the majority of the people involved in it? No? Maybe because they aren’t that fucking stupid?
Johnetic:
With a resume like that, no wonder his opinions are so revered and sought-after by the Hollywood Elite!
What Penn was trying to say is that these “culturally conservative” folks’ grandchirren will look back upon their grandparents’ bigotry and small-mindedness much as we look upon slavery and Jim Crow. What Penn fails to realize is that there is a disturbingly large number of inbred MORANS who still reminisce about the good ol’ slave days and try to reestablish de facto Jim Crow at every turn. Shit, Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms only JUST DIED. And they were getting reelected up until the very end. Shits like Trent Lott and his ilk fell all over them selves trying to fellate these lions of segregation’s rigor mortis-stiffened corpses. Also.
Cape Clod: That’s actually because the NASCAR hybrids just don’t have the torque necessary to be competitive.
http://www.debbieschlussel.com/
WadISay: The irony is that the wingnut rupturist and the Muslim fanatics hold identical views on many things they just differ on who’s religion is the correct on. The world would be a better place if we found a country called Fanaticstan and we dump those two groups.
Dreamer: We could always try Creedocide:
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/324104ab16/creedocide-on-important-things-with-demetri-martin
It can be a lot of fun to penetrate the comments area over at that place. The clods don’t know what to do when non-conservatives don’t get zotted within 20 seconds. But even I couldn’t hang out over there during Oscar season.
Take a moment to savor the sweetest line in Milk: “Even Ronald Reagan is against Proposition 6!” So the wingnuts hero actually helped the gays take over the schools.
JGB: Very educational.
Johnetic: (Writer+Director+Producer+Actor+Song Writer(Jingle Bells?))= Can’t get financing
I minored in Arabic and the phrase “Allahu Akhbar” does indeed literally translate into “God is the Greatest” although the comparison aspect between Christian/Muslim God doesn’t really work for a couple of reasons. The first is that the Muslims believe that they are the same God and so comparing them would be meaningless. Also, Muslims are adamant that “There is no God but God.” Its actually one of the Pillars (central beliefs) of Islam, so the idea of comparing God to some other divine being is heresy. A more correct translation of the phrase would be “God is Supreme”. Humorously, “Allahu Akhbar” also literally translates into “God is the oldest” or “God is the largest”.
Unfortunately, this information will only enrich my fellow Wonktards, since Christ Potatoes feel that knowledge acquired outside the Bible or church is an inherently corrupting force and have no doubt concluded that I am a Islamist Islamo-Fascist following the phrase “I minored in Arabic”. As a side note, I hate the word Islamist. Its completely made up and about as descriptive as “Mohammedean”, which is how the Victorians described Muslims. But we all play along and pretend that its a real word. The word is Muslim, dammit. Also.
Am I the only one that sees “BIG LOLL” in the headline picture?
Gallowglass: And all this time I thought it was “Muslin”…
bago: “Big Ho” ?
He’s still bitter about Red Dawn getting snubbed by the Academy.
“Wolverines!”
Gallowglass: Thank you. Seriously.
Jewdishoowary Square: then you must be going to the wrong Fundie church….
I looked this up: “Allah Akbar” actually translates: “Hey, God is super-duper!”…. this is, of course, the definitive, 1957, translation….
Someone just emailed me this article. Fun.
How dare he say such inflammatory things about me! I’m not an actor/producer!
You guys have no less of a right to come after me than I do Penn, so I don’t mind any of it, but for the record–I never said Sean Penn should be “honored to have freedom.” That’s inherent. I assume he does feel honored. I said that it’s ridiculous when we watch the Academy Awards and could get drunk playing a drinking game with the words “courage” and “bravery” and “importance,” as if entertainers are the heroes. I think the least we could expect is a little perspective, particularly since our soldiers are fighting people who actually hate gays.
And also for the record, I agree with the following:
“A couple of NYT op-ed folks had what I thought was a pretty good solution (and probably where all this will wind up) which is a federal “civil union” law and leave the “rite of marriage” to the church. I agree. Str8 unions, gay unions, all would be recognized by the government. The church, which is a private entity, can recognize what it wants (I can’t theologically take communion at a Catholic church since I’m not Catholic. It’s their right to not serve me.).”
See. Sean Penn doesn’t need Hugo Chavez to prove he is an activist first, and an actor second.
http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/2009/02/slumming-with-stars.html
Speaking of gay and Oscars, I just LOVED Hugh sitting in Frank Langella’s lap and then the Apatow short with Franco and Rogen? DEVINE. I’m a straight woman who enjoys watching the dudes get it on. What? What?
as if entertainers are the heroes
“As if?” Sir, I would direct your attention to one Ms. Jenna Haze. The soldiers will enthusiastically back me up here.
OMG, this is even better than the above Debbie Slushie post: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/dschlussel/2009/02/22/man-on-wire-911/
What is that thing they say all the time about 9/11? Never Forget? But besides that, what possible artistic purpose would it serve to talk about an event that is not only 40 years remove from the events of the documentary, but also *completely unrelated* except as coincidence. 911 911 911.
magic titty: Yeah, uh, no one. I’m not about to defend Islam for anything (had WAY too much experience with it to view it objectively), but I can defend the Arabic language against imbeciles.
Dallas Jenkins: Hey, welcome. Glad you stopped by.
HeHe. What must Repubs be thinking? Lawd have mercy, when Sean Penn is the ONLY Amerikan to win an acting Oscar, what has the world come to? And all those brown-skinned people on the stage accepting awards for God only knows what kind of terrorist propaganda.
But the GOP is nothing if not crafty and desperate as they ride on the coattails of the Dems (i.e. Michael Steele). I’m sure the call went out bright and early this a.m. for JINDAL 2012!!
Jai Ho, Jai Ho! YEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
(sorry if anybody else said the same things- in a time crunch and couldn’t read them all)
May A-lah stike you down for not using the word GOD in your comment
chascates: That’s the problem. many conservatard men who blog on that site want to suck a dick. suck a big bag of huge vein lathened man dicks. But they’re masters of failure who would rather live their lives in a closet in hellish misery.
Dallas Jenkins: You know that a lot of people in this country hate gays too, right?
Botards of the world, elide!
/snark off
Here you go liberals:
Gov’t stops calling any union “marriage”.
All church’s will marry who they wish.
Gov’t has to recognize all church unions as a “civil union” in legal terms.
No redefinition of marriage in the church. Civil unions for all. Case closed.
/snark on
Dallas Jenkins: What you said here does not in any way track with what you said on Breitbart’s site. I expect more coherence from a Hollywood playa with such a stellar list of credits.
Disinterested: I suppose someone could tell Debbie that in examining the towers from Philippe Petit’s point of view the filmmaker once again made them the objects of near-childlike wonder and awe they had been before their tragic ending and that an intelligent viewer with an eye for subtext could see that implicitness in the film and did not need to be slapped in the face with yet another viewing of footage of them collapsing. But I’m afraid her head might explode.
Dallas Jenkins: You’re exactly right “Dallas!” The only way that somebody can be courageous or brave or to be a hero is to join the army. And anyone who suggests that it is courageous to create and disseminate subversive films that will guarantee protests, death threats and hatred just doesn’t appreciate his freedom of expression.
Incredulicious: Chavez a “fag-hater”? I think you mean fag PLAYA:
http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=977
http://blabbeando.blogspot.com/2007/09/venezuela-is-president-hugo-chavez-gulp.html
I heard he had 500-1000 sex partners, also.
Seriously, tho’,as the second blog points out (written by a guy who follows gay politics in Latin American and really, really dislikes Chavez) Big Hugo may have put his foot in his mouth a couple of times about gays, and he may not have supported legalizing gay marriage (kinda like BHO hasn’t), but he ain’t Mugabe by any stretch.
Dallas Jenkins: One thing I don’t think [b]you’re[/b] considering is that this isn’t Veterans Day, this is the damn Oscars. No, I don’t mean that we shouldn’t appreciate the armed services in general year-round; I mean that the Academy Awards are set up for the express purpose of recognizing artistic achievement in film.
If you thought that maybe Sean Penn got a boost from the controversy and activism of the film’s subject matter, that would be a relevant argument, and one that sane people wouldn’t mind listening to. But if your criticism is really the fact that the Academy Awards are honoring an actor, then I really don’t know what to tell you, and I can’t fathom what you expected. It would be like criticizing a master chef on the grounds that they weren’t a Peace Corps volunteer, or a sculptor because he isn’t a missionary, or something. It just isn’t especially relevant, and it makes you look bad.
tl;dr: if you really have a problem with the fact that the Oscars honor an actor, you should just turn it off. Watch Friends reruns or something and chill the fuck out. It’s like you’re trying to make yourself mad.
I think it’s remarkable that cute little moppet child star Melanie Abramoff, who played the Girl in Diner in Jenkins’ critically acclaimed “Cliche”*, has gone on to appear in “Spy School” and an episode of Two and a Half Men.
*imdb commenter NinoB from Southwestern US gives it “very nearly” 10 stars! OTOH he feels Jenkins should have refrained from casting himself in a cameo role as a cop.
I was at a national park in Southern Nepal several years ago and the devout Hindu man who was in charge of the elephants was explaining the way they eat, drink, etc, and punctuated his speech with “But God is good, so..”
I didn’t think he was an evil Muslim, just a nice, well spoken young Nepali. I guess he totally fooled me.
american mutt: Here’s why I call bullshit on that: Religious fundamentalists are no more accepting of civil unions for gays than they are of marriage. They basically don’t want gays to have rights at all, while forcing their personal morality on everyone. The “marriage” thing is a smokescreen. In 2006 there was an initiative on the Arizona ballot (crafted by a socially conservative think tank) that would not only declare only marriages between one man and one woman as valid but would have prohibited recognition of any other type of domestic partnership. It was narrowly defeated then and reintroduced as a “marriage only” amendment, which passed. But if all they were concerned about was protecting the rights of churches to perform only those marriages that conform to their views, then what was the point of the first version? Why is that religious groups in Hawaii are currently protesting a proposed civil unions measure? Hawaii passed it’s own DOMA law over a decade ago so the “marriage” issue should be settled. Why is the LDS church in Hawaii telling its members to call their lawmakers to object to civil unions?
When that young screenwriter made his speech about young gays and lesbians I teared up. I thought of my daughter and how lucky she is to have been born into a family devoid of homophobia. Sarcasm and snark, yes, but no homophobia.
loudmouthredhead: “puss and bile”. Eeuwww. I’ll bet you meant “pus and bile”.
“Puss” and “pus” aren’t the same thing. You must have gone to Christian school, huh?
Is this the same Debbie Schlussel that is a producer or something on Howard Stern?? There can’t possibly be two people strapped with the same awful name.
so is it true that debbie does dallas?
Dallas Jenkins: Ha-ha. No. That would mean that all of the straight folks who choose to get married outside of the church (like me and my hubby did) would have to get a civil union. You can argue “separate but equal” all you want, but I bet the straights who couldn’t get “married” will scream bloody murder. This is why the whole civil union argument is such a canard. If the homophobes want a special ritual that belongs to them, maybe they should make one up. I don’t see why everyone else in the country has to suffer.
On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners!
Yes, and that’s just during the White Party in Palm Springs.
They’re always so damn sincere about reciting the “picture it, muslins chop your head off” thing.
Beatrix: Holy Poo!!!
iolanthe: “Puss” and “pus” aren’t the same thing.
Right. Eating pus is disgusting and unhealthy.
What’ll Debbie say when she learns that A.R. Rahman was a Hindu who converted to Islam?
Jude takes weeks to shake it off? It only takes me a few seconds. Maybe he should just dab it off with a little tissue to save time.
smellyal8r: “As an out homo, I know I can’t change everyone’s mind and I’ve pretty much given up trying. I’m out at work, out at church and folks can make their judgements ”
That’s our family’s attitude. We protected out daughter somewhat when she was in high school–that whole redneck hate crime thing, you know-but once she was in college, everyone could be completely open. It’s good for the people at church to see that the nice young Christian girl at UMYF was a lesbian the whole time and that she has grown into a nice young woman.
My only militant statement is my refusal to buy wedding gifts for my friends’ children (esp. when I barely know them). When my daughter can get married and start collecting on the shit I’ve given to strangers over the years, then I’ll start giving wedding gifts again. These people need to see that they can’t have it both ways.
I just realized the potential. I’m beginning movement here, people. Boycott buying into gift registries until gay marriage is legal under federal law.
“On average, a gay person has between 500 and 1000 sex partners!”
At the same time?!?!?
Beyond all this crap, some of the women looked hot! Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Tina Fey, Halle Berry (!!!), Meryl Streep’s daughter, Frida Pinto (the amazingly hot babe from “Slumdog,”), Penelope Kruz, Kate Winslet, and many others all looked incredibly hot! And damn if Goldie Hawn didn’t look incredible for her age, and damn if Sophia Loren, who’s possibly in her 70s, look good for her age, and the same for Meryl Streep!!
These are some hot, beautiful women!
Just focus on the hot women, and everyone will feel better!!!
Goldie Hawn is 63 now, Meryl Streep is 59, and Sophia Loren is 74.
They are all lookin’ pretty damn good!
american mutt: The problem is that your “argument” is based off of a fantasy and has no basis in reality at all. Churches are under no obligation to marry anyone for any reason, and anyone saying that allowing gays the same legal rights as everyone else would force churches to have to marry them is delusional, uninformed, or being dishonest.
Lesson learned: never use the words hero, courageous, or challenge without mentioning our heroic, courageous, and challenging troops, also. Or an Islamo-Fascist will come to your house and slit your neck.
This right here is why conservatives usually hide here in Ho’wood. Because you know us homo-lovin’ commies will call them out on this BS if they dared say it in the presence of normies (that’s what we call liberals here in Hollywood–stop on by sometime, y’all!).
glamourdammerung: I thought Mutt’s argument is that any entity could set up a church, that they could marry queers or 2nd cousins or whatever and the state’s only thing to say about it is “yeah, you have a civil union too” or something like that. Logically, one should be able to by pass the church and therefore just get the paper from city hall.
thefrontpage: Page, Sophia is way over 74. Way. G-d bless her though.
As a much married person I think some gays should be forced to marry.Forced I tell you!I have some lovely pictures somewhere of the first gay wedding I hosted back in 1977. I did the wedding cake for them too with the two grooms and all. It wasn’t legal but we got a real minister and no they didn’t stay together any more than any body else did back then.Forced!I’m tired of going to divorce courts full of shabby humorless straights.
glamourdammerung: Per night.
