Your Wonkette’s total hatred for all forms of cable news has been well established by this point, but that Rachel Maddow, goodness, she is one hot potato sometimes! This Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality bill and its estuaries of sadness should be a MASSIVE story on the front page of every real news thing out there! (Below Tiger Woods though, duh.)
America’s secret adulterous Congressional Jesus group “The Family” goes over with George W. Bush’s help to befriend and convert the Ugandan government, who then burn all condoms, and now decide to kill or imprison every gay or HIV-infected person, while megapastors like Rick Warren and U.S. legislators who gave the Ugandan leadership these noble thoughts now refuse to do jack shit about it. John Ensign, Sam Brownback and Jim Inhofe will not say a word about what their new friends the Ugandan nutjobs are doing.
It’s amazing that Rick Warren has built this sunny reputation in the mainstream as the “new evangelical,” the nice one, who wants to fix AIDS and stuff, when he and his small group of powerful friends are almost fully responsible for blowing the lid off of the problem in Uganda. THEY ARE JUST CONDOMS. LET PEOPLE WEAR THE CONDOMS. JESUS DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT. People c’mon!

This news concerns me deeply. Unfortunately when it was on, I was too distracted by the baby-butchness of Dr. Maddow to actually watch it without fapping. Thank you, Wonkette, for giving me another chance!
Extermination through legislation? With “friends” like Brownback, Inhofe, Ensign and Warren, I’m sure there’s nothing unsavory going on here. Nope!
I think you can explain this near-indifference to another item Wonkette posted back in the day.
Uganda- a former rubber plantation in sub-saharan Africa
She even let this slide for a couple of days till “she” thought we might pay attention. Is anyone paying attention? and can we all agree that the “Ken” dude at the end of the show has to go?
obviously, whatever, cause this “place” is even further south than Mexico, so whatever
I thought it was just the Catholics who thought every sperm was sacred. Why are the fundies opposed?
Okay, like everyone here, I’m all about forced abortions and mandatory condom usage, but I think we need a reality check here. If things keep going this way, these idiots are going to out-reproduce us into permanent minority status.
For like a couple decades we should just pump out as many little bastards and bastettes as we can and THEN kick in the forced abortions and mandatory condom usage. Build up the army first and then join the culture of death.
I think it’s what John Ensign, Sam Brownback and Jim Inhofe dream of doing here if they could.
[re=472123]Terry[/re]: Sadly. Spot on.
[re=472123]Terry[/re]: Exactly right.
[re=472119]Suds McKenzie[/re]: I don’t mind Ken so much when they are just talking about booze. It is kind of refreshing to see people on teevee actually own up to enjoying booze and not having any forced sanctimony about it whatsoever. Also it reminds me to get up and get more booze.
But I have a latex allergy.
[re=472120]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]: Because they hate all sex that’s not repressed and secretive. Oops, no snark.
THE GOOD NEWS: The didn’t burn the King James Condom.
THE BAD NEWS: The King James Condom has the most holes in it.
It pathetic that people in 2009 are fool by a middle eastern charlatan and still taken in by this scam called religion.
And you know who else passed laws to execute all the gays…
Sadly, that’s not really snark. What does Godwin’s law say when the Nazi comparison is actually accurate?
Rachel totally rocked this rant last night. KO, take note.
People who can’t get a condom to stay on hate people who can.
Makes sense..conservatives want to make the U.S. a third world nation.
[re=472136]JMP[/re]: Not coincidentally the Nazi’s too were all about the closeting and repressing of their desire for blond haired blue eyed boys in uniforms and high leather boots. And poopie diapers.
Where can I get one of those nifty “Keep Afloat the AIDS flood” posters?
Maddow is the only half-sane person on ‘news’ teevee.
Well if they’re going to execute gays because it’s biblical (and, thanks to Saul of Tarsus, not relegated to the Old Law before Jesus came) then they should be consistent and execute everybody S. of T. says deserves death:
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not fitting, filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity.
They are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, spiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affections, implacable, unmerciful.
And knowing the judgment of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but have pleasure in those who do them.
It’s a pretty damn long list — and later on, Saul says everybody deserves death. So get to it, folks — stop being hypocrites. And will the last righteous asshole left alive please off himself, too. Thanks.
Once they kill all the gehz, who’s going to design their clothing? Decorate their huts? Serve them lattes at the third world equivalent of starbucks?
Does this apply to lesbians as well because, seriously, lesbians are hawt. Once you’ve killed off all the lesbians, what is the Ugandan porn industry going to do? This is just wrong on so many levels. If you start executing the tourists who’ve come to your squalid paradise for a little chicken, you wont see those conservative US Senators back at the Adi Amin International Airport anytime soon. Larry Craig was only fined $50 bucks and I don’t think any of ‘em have been back to that Minneapolis since. You hang Sam Brownback for gettin’ a little…well…brown back and Uganda will be off the Congressional Junket roster faster than you can say “Cleveland Steamer”.
Lord, do these people ever think anything through or do they just wake up with a roaring hangover and an underaged boy in their bed and decide “Fuck, I gotta do something about this geh sex thing, it is just gettin’ way out of hand.”
Considering that even Vatican somehow can sit happily the middle of the European country with highest average use of contraception, the Evangelicals’ intolerance in this regard is pretty stunning.
Perhaps the best Faustian solution to this problem would be to simply place large tariffs on any high-grade hate exported from the US. If another country really really really wants it, they’ll have to pay, and we can use the revenue to fund sex ed. That way, everyone’s happy (and guilty).
Yeah, but let’s get our panties all in a bunch over funding ACORN…
Giving financial aid to the Ugandans to fight AIDS has worked so well, we are just going to go ahead and spend 10′s of billions of ducats on another project in another country well known to be dominated by religious tolerance, Halfghanistan. What could go wrong there?
Thanks for fucking up my holiday plans, Dick Warren.
[re=472119]Suds McKenzie[/re]: How else is Layne gonna be on my teevee?
[re=472154]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art who judgest; for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself, for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Should have read the next verse where Paul let’s everybody off the hook.
We all suck, some literally, some figuratively, some for $5 bucks and a ride to Dunkin Donuts.
[re=472153]Surprised_Still[/re]: To be fair, Wolf Blitzer it quite sane in that sharp as an old river stone sort of way.
[re=472128]Gorillionaire[/re]: I can’t argue with that.
[re=472159]frailamerica[/re]: Fuck ACORN, there’s steroids in baseball.
[re=472166]dijetlo[/re]: Context is for fags. Muslin fags, at that.
[re=472166]dijetlo[/re]: Yes, I know — but for some reason the people who allegedly make reading the Bible their specialty don’t seem to have noticed that verse either. Saul doesn’t declare that everyone’s forgiven except the gays — but for some reason that’s what Rick Warren thinks he read.
[re=472132]Extemporanus[/re]: Hence the existence of King James II.
(yes, I know James I’s son was actually Charles I but it’s a heck of a lot more poetic)
Jim Inhofe’s middle name is “Mountain”. Jim Mountain Inhofe. Ha.
Are cake farts still OK in Uganda, or did Mr Amin eat that also?
[re=472204]RubberSoul[/re]: And hence the reason why many Ugandan people call it a “jimmy”.
Seems the compincushionate conservatives and eeevanjailohculls are the spore of those fine Christians who tended Action Jackson during his last few daze.
[re=472204]RubberSoul[/re]: King James and the Reformations
I pity the poor bastards in The Family. I really do! On one hand, the Ugandans seem to hate fags A LOT, which is nice. On the other hand, though, the Ugandans seem overwhelmingly–oh, how does one say such things politely nowadays–resoundingly unwhite? And that’s bad. See what I mean? It must really keep them up at night trying to figure out where everybody stands in the hate-worthy rankings.
“Uganda Be Kidding Me?” I’m sorry, puns and genocide do NOT go together, even in the case of potential genocide. Rachel should be put in solitary confinement and forced to listen to Chris Matthew’s nasal whine at eardrum-popping decibels just for agreeing to sit in front of that.
[re=472227]vladster[/re]: Duh, I mean Restorations (such a smarty-pants)
[re=472233]DeLand DeLakes[/re]: You no likey a fish called rwanda?
Hey, if you can’t execute American gays, Ugandan gays will just have to do.
Well, until, you know, that rapture thing happens and then Ensign and Inhofe can kill not only the gheyz, but the Joos, the Muslins, the Hindooos and lets not forget the Wiccans too.
[re=472199]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Well, I can understand your irritation, I often find myself shaking my head at what passes for Christian thought in todays world. Still, it’s unfair to lay this at Pauls feet, it wasn’t his idea to smoke the gehz.
[re=472182]Snarkalicious[/re]: I have it on good authority that there are no Muslim fags…
From the thinkprogress art: “If that person … has sex with …. a person with a disability, …”
There goes my weekend. Be tweeting you, Meghan.
Ensign and his buddies are one thing. I’d like an explanation for the failure of the Archbishop of Canterbury to firmly condemn the Ugandan policy and all those who support it. Oh, oops, that includes all those fine Ugandans of the Anglican Communion who are trying to get the Episcopal Church kicked out of the Communion for excessive friendliness to gays. Oh dear me. We must have the greatest possible respect for their nasty little opinions and vicious little prejudices.
[re=472289]dijetlo[/re]: Correcto. Yup. There are none. Zippo.

Some Southern Baptists COULD fall into that category, though. I like the way Abby is trying wrest away his hand.
And what ever of teh AIDS?
http://www.avert.org/aids-uganda.htm
“It is feared that HIV prevalence in Uganda may be rising again; at best it has reached a plateau where the number of new HIV infections matches the number of AIDS-related deaths. There are many theories as to why this may be happening, including the government’s shift towards abstinence-based prevention programmes, and a general complacency or ‘AIDS-fatigue’. It has been suggested that antiretroviral drugs have changed the perception of AIDS from a death sentence to a treatable, manageable disease; this may have reduced the fear surrounding HIV, and in turn have led to an increase in risky behaviour.”
Hooray!
Rick Warren probably has a thing for little black boys. Seriously, have you seen Rick Warren? Very touchy feeling kind of man. A man with C*S lips. Rick has a twin brother, named Larry Sinclair. Look it up, Uganda people.
[re=472245]vladster[/re]: Kenya believe it?
Zaire from Chad that it’a actually Guinea be pretty good, so now all of a Sudan I really want Togo see it.
[re=472323]Extemporanus[/re]: I’ma type “it’a” when I’ma should’a type “it’s” ’cause I’ma lame-O who luv’a typo.
[re=472121]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: It’s a quantity v. quality thing. We tend to have less kids, but our kids aren’t abandoned in Bible Study camp to assfuck one another and listen to Kirk Cameron. It’s why christards are so scared of their kids getting edjumicated.
[re=472323]Extemporanus[/re]: Roman around the Empire? Russian into Afghanistan like we did?
[re=472334]MGBYG[/re]: When European, it sometimes feels like you’ll never Finish.
Idi, Idi, Idi Amin, most amazing man has ever been! he’s the lion, the tiger the king of the sea! Idi, Idi, Idi Amin!
He’s dead though, and was a Muslim when alive. The House cult wouldn’t re-install a Muslim tyrant when they could support a Xtn tyrant.
This is what happens when you let Christians roam freely.
Needs more lions.
[re=472142]magic titty[/re]: For the WIN!
[re=472155]dijetlo[/re]: And the irony of the self-inflicted demise of Ugandan porn from gay genocide is that the people most tragically affected will be old-fart German tourists.
[re=472121]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: They’re children flee the born-again ghetto, like I did. Our children or grand-children get re-converted. There’s a great cycle.
[re=472154]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I’m waiting for them to all circumcize their hearts, as St Paul orders them to do. Once their all dead from amateur heart surgery, the rest of us can enjoy life.
[re=472156]give us a bob[/re]: It used to be they were pro-birth control, if only because the Catholics were against it.
[re=472129]vladster[/re]: Lambskin!
Ugandans have problems making snowflake babies as well. I would posit some alternatives but it is likely that every single possibility is already in use in one form or another.
[re=472232]edgydrifter[/re]: Gay-haters in Africa like to say there was no gay secks in their countries until the colonialists brought it. Sounds unlikely, but I’ll bet a lot of those public-school educated colonial administrators were gay.
JOURNALISM.

[re=472510]LowerdPeninsula[/re]: zhubajie has a point. The underclassman is the altar boy of anglicanism.
Then they graduate to rum,sodomy and the lash.
I’d never thought of it before, but I’m guessing a lot of those white suited plantation owners had little African butt boys.
[re=472289]dijetlo[/re]: Americans always have to have a scapegoat. If it wasn’t the gays, it’d jews and blacks, like a generation or two ago. But always fight back!
[re=472322]DC Hates Me[/re]: Most preachers get more ass than a toilet seat!
[re=472289]dijetlo[/re]: No Muslim fags? Oh, you were being ironic. For a moment there I thought perhaps you’d never encountered the classic tales starring Abu Nowas.

Wow. Like the rodeo scene in Borat.
“Ina my country they execute those ones.”
“That’s what we’re tryin’ to git done here.”
On the plus side though, we might be able to send Limbaugh there when someone finally digs up proof that he smokes the pole.
Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality bill totally blew that Afghan surgeon thing into oblivion.
[re=472120]SlouchingTowardsWasilla[/re]:
The fundies hate condoms because gays use them — or at least that seems to be the logic at play here. The fundies also believe the only alternative to abstinence before marriage and chastity within it, is mortal sin and as such should be punishable with death, since God punishes it with eternal damnation, which is probably even worse.
When I was a kid, people in Irish bars here would line up to throw money at the IRA, just as Croation associations would send money to Tudjman and Serbs (American Serbs) underwrote Milosevich and his militias. American money poured gasoline on e=very ethnic conflict in Europe and the Middle East, so why is it such a surprise that we’ve done the same stupid shit in Africa?
[re=472690]artbot2000[/re]: No, fundies hate condoms first and foremost because they believe that it promotes the idea of casual sex/promiscuity (i.e. sex before marriage). That deny condoms also seems to disproportionately hurt gays is just an added benefit to them. And, of course, this is all irony because they are some of the freakiest sex nuts this side of Alpha Centari.
