Rep. Ackerman: ‘A Platoon Of Lesbians’ Could ‘Chase Us Out Of Baghdad’
Rep. Ackerman: ‘A Platoon Of Lesbians’ Could ‘Chase Us Out Of Baghdad’
Yesterday, during hearings on the State Department’s 2008 budget, Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) slammed the U.S. military’s ban on gay servicemembers, saying the Pentagon “seems more afraid of gay people than they are [of] terrorists,” and that if the terrorists were smart, “they’d get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad.” Watch it:
Ackerman’s tongue-in-cheek remarks to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came after noting that Rice had “repeatedly emphasized the importance of recruiting qualified language experts to work in the agency.” Ackerman pointed out that at least 322 language specialists with “some skills in an important foreign language such as Arabic, Farsi and Korean” had been discharged from the military since the ban’s inception in 1993.
Ackerman suggested that Rice hire the linguists who were kicked out of the military for being gay. The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network praised the idea: “Faced with the shortage of language experts, the military would do well to consider Congressman Ackerman’s point. We cannot afford to lose critical personnel because of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.’”
UPDATE: Carpetbagger Report has more.
Transcript:
ACKERMAN: Well, it seems that the military has gone around and fired a whole bunch of people who speak foreign languages — Farsi and Arabic, etc. — after they trained them in their foreign language schools for 63 weeks, and presumably they all pass all kinds of security things, and many of them told on themselves and were fired. For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists, because they’re very brave with the terrorists. I mean, if the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they’d get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad. The affirmative suggestiong that I would make is why can’t the State Department look to pick up all those people that were fired from the military because apparently you don’t have a policy, and put these three dozen Farsi and Arabic people to work doing what you’re suggesting would cost a lot of money to train, etc., because we have them. Can we marry up those two — or maybe that’s the wrong word — can we have some kind of union of those two issues, that you might be willing to –
RICE: Congressman, I’m not aware of the availability of people, but I certainly will look at what we are doing right now.

Bravo!
That would be a platoon of lesbians, not gay men. The Pentagon would go after a platoon of gay men, for "good times".
February 8th, 2007 at 3:05 pmBrave. Love the slight smirk too.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:09 pmLet's leave the gays out of this...we were told you didn't want us. We're hanging on the sidelines for this one. We'll wait for NATO to call us (since they apparently need our help before the Spring)
February 8th, 2007 at 3:10 pmNow that is funny.... couldn't have been delivered to a more deserving recipient as well!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:12 pm"Ackerman suggested that Rice hire the linguists who were kicked out of the military for being gay"
I hope the hired linguists are cunning.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:12 pmTypical non-answer from Rice.....
February 8th, 2007 at 3:15 pmIf a Republican made a "tongue-in-cheek" remark like that you would force them out of office. Don't get me wrong. I actually agree with him and his point. I also find the joke funny. But if a Republican had said it your hypocrisy would show.

Only if I get to have my way with an amazingly hot bitch, and then I will change my mind when I am complete.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:16 pmI think he meant that Rice should hire some cunning linguists.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:16 pmAny thoughts on this matter, Daryll?
February 8th, 2007 at 3:16 pmDammit, Bill, you beat me to it!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:17 pmFINALLY someone has the guts to state the obvious. About time. Firing those interpreters cost countless lives, we can be sure.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:17 pmGroovy, Bill.....:)

A Republican wouldn't make a "tongue-in-cheek" remark in defense of a minority. You would do it to smear, slur, and spread hate. This is why you make bad comics, you don't understand comedy, satire or intellectual discourse.
Don’t get me wrong. I actually agree with him and his point. I also find the joke funny. But if a Republican had said it your hypocrisy would show. Comment by Happy Guy — February 8, 2007 @ 3:15 pm
Of course you do, because it is funny. Unlike the slack crap hate that conservatives spew out that they pretend is funny. If a republican had made this joke to defend gay people, we'd liberals would say its about time one of you developed a sense of humor. You demonstrate why that's a virtual impossibility!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:21 pmOk, So Daryll is stranded on a desert island. He is hungry and thirsty, he feels he will die if not nourished.
The only way to get nourishment is to let two gay men, who are partners, go get it.
What would Daryll do?
February 8th, 2007 at 3:22 pmI sense a new round of National Review attacks on a Democratic Congressman over this. Well maybe not because KLo is preoccupied with her serial lying about Pelosi and this faux jet scandal.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:23 pmHappy Guy, take a hike!!! Republicans make comments like this all the time. Where the hell have you been the past two elections???
February 8th, 2007 at 3:24 pm#9... if a Republican said it... hell would have frozen over, because Republicans HATE gays/lesbians.
So yes, we'd be all over it if a Republican made the remark. We wouldn't force them out of office for it though. When was the last time you heard os Dems/Liberals wanting to kick someone out for a joke?
Commening on a Republican making a gay joke would not make us hypocrites, because the REPUBLICAN would be the hypocrite for saying it.
Don't you understand that? I know you do... you're just trying to spin this.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:24 pmMilitia Etheridge!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:24 pmBut, but...we must make the world safe for heterosexuality! We must spread straight democracy! Freedom is on the rise...among other things...and lesbians might cause bigotrus interruptus!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:25 pmDaryll has no choice but prepare to die.
February 8th, 2007 at 3:27 pmThe other two will not return.

I've actually known a lesbian or two who would use a stick like Condoleezza Rice to pick thier teeth and then toss the bitch into the garbage, along with thier empty tin of chewing tobacco. Hoo-rah!
February 8th, 2007 at 3:44 pmHe's right, you know. Lesbians get so much done in a day.

If a Republican had said it, I'd have appreciated it just as much. But, there would be a whole bunch of right-wingers pouncing on him and calling him a liberal and a traitor.

February 8th, 2007 at 4:06 pm> He’s at the Pentagon, fingering all the generals in the butt.
I hope these generals have more brains than letting themselves get fingered by Mr "Forgot About Post-War-Planning" Rumsfeld. I though he had opened a local "Think Tank" or something? Probably writing a book on "hard-ons for smart bombs".
February 8th, 2007 at 4:06 pmRepublicans have a really, really strange set of rules of morality. It's okay to kill lots and lots and lots of people, but it's not okay to be gay. This from the party that supposedly has the monopoly on "family values". If Jesus were alive today he'd be appalled with these "good Christians".

February 8th, 2007 at 4:55 pmHas Daryll been raptured? Lesbians are mentioned in a post and he hasn't shown up yet?
February 8th, 2007 at 4:56 pmWe're not afraid. We believe in morals and values. It is of the upmost importance to maintain terrorism, but we must also maintain morals, values and ethics in our country as well as in the military.

I would let them go seek nourishment, but once they returned, I would inquire about their souls, and ask them whether or not they want to go to heaven.

Daryll wouldn't miss a homosexual discussion for anything. He likes hearing us point out that we know he's gay and that it is okay to be gay.
February 8th, 2007 at 5:07 pmI have a nice little blog for liberals. Please click the link of my brother in Christ, Alberto Trippe, . Maybe you can receive insight from him. Homosexuals, turn from your wicked ways.

Are you ready for the Rapture? If not, follow Acts 2:38. When we attack Iran expect complete turmoil. Save yourselves.
February 8th, 2007 at 5:11 pmI'm guessing by the phrase: "(up)most (sic) importance to maintain terrorism" Daryll is refering to the conservative christian tendency to scare their children and followers with the concept of an angry and vengeful god, and threaten them with pain, death and eternal damnation if they don't do as they are told and put their money in the collection plate.
February 8th, 2007 at 5:12 pmAnd, seeming as Daryll supports the Boosch/Chainee war machine as well, he is backing that terror campaign also.
This site is dedicated to converting hethen-liberals into God-fearing conservatives who follow the words and wisdom of George W. Bush, reject the ACLU and pro-homosexual agenda. I want to prepare you liberals for conversion and for the coming Rapture. R U Rapture Ready? You better be or you will be left behind.
Damn Daryll, you're a parody! Well, hahaha - that was funny. You had me fooled!

Happy Guy, too bad you are super-wrong on this one, since it is based on the false premise that a Repug would push for more inclusive policy.
It would be hypocritical for a Republican to make that statement. Ask the Virgin Mary Cheney.

When are you going to "shake the dust off your sandals" and leave TP? You've presented your fundamentalist, intolerant, holier-than-thou position very clearly and sincerity. Most of us here have also very clearly and sincerely rejected it. It's time for you to go to another "town" with your apostolic, disciple-making message and just let God have his way with us apparent heathens.

Beware you liberals, I am back and I am mad as heck at what has happened to our country.

NO, NO, NO!

I remember reading some comments from people (was it this site?) about how happy they were to be fleeing their desperate and miserable lives. I figured the commenters were real, but the blog was fueling their fire for the purpose of laughing at them... (Unlike the FSM, which is obviously a parody and gets hate mail).
February 8th, 2007 at 5:35 pmNow that was too damn funny.
February 8th, 2007 at 5:36 pm#91 should have been 'considering the use of tactical nukes', sorry. It's sometimes hard to type and laugh your ass off at the same time. Daryll, we love you man, really.

This has got to be a parody.
Conservatives who follow the "wisdom of George W Bush" would be walking very quickly on their way to nowhere. At least on a treadmill people get in shape.
Although I did like the "R U Rapture Ready?" motto. It sounds like a store name. Or maybe that's Daryll's church: "Rapture 'R' Us" -great marketing ploy.

Only a madman, ignores what he can see, and trusts what he can't see and can't be proven or authenticated. You'd rather trust a bunch of barely literate sheep herders from 2000 years ago, over the science, knowledge, wisdom and experience of the modern world.
You are the very makings of a radical terrorist sacrificing yourself for Allah.

February 8th, 2007 at 5:46 pmI was taught that it wasn't nice to laugh at other peoples beliefs. It was more appropriate to point out the faults than laugh. But this Daryll character is so beyond reality that you can't help but laugh at him. So sad to be totally engrossed in a fairy tale that produces so much hatred and misdirected energy. "You won’t find it within the stars or space." LOL No indeed you won't find it within the stars of space because IT DOESN'T EXIST IN REALITY ONLY IN YOUR HEAD!

As could you - upon closer inspection, the spelling and grammar were atrocious. Possible it could be intentional, as we all know that the Rapture freaks are such terrible spellers.

Actually I saw him post that he is black... But I'll take the compliment anyway (sarcasm and all ; )
February 8th, 2007 at 5:50 pmYou’d rather trust a bunch of barely literate sheep herders from 2000 years ago, over the science, knowledge, wisdom and experience of the modern world.

Delusional isn't it? To think that in order to save all of mankind from the horrible, horrible sin of some naked couple having once eaten an apple, Jesus had to be nailed to a cross and allowed to bleed to death...
February 8th, 2007 at 5:53 pmYes Unbelievable, I saw he had posted that he was black also.
It is a sarcastic compliment. Glad you enjoyed it.
I advise others not to use a "sarcastic compliment" it's only for professionals. You could get in trouble if you don't know how to use it.

You mean pregnant?
February 8th, 2007 at 5:57 pmAlthough I did like the “R U Rapture Ready?†motto. It sounds like a store name. Or maybe that’s Daryll’s church: “Rapture ‘R’ Us†-great marketing ploy.

I thought that was clever too Gregor. Maybe it is a store, UB said they accepted MasterCard - did anyone check to see if they had an online gift shop?

If things get to that point, yes I suppose it could lead to that. I do love to remind people I am "fixed" so they don't get any ideas. See that's why I recommend not using the "sarcastic compliment" unless you are prepared.

Isn't that Daryll's sin? Naked fruit eating? ;)

As opposed to Daryll, who just wants to be 'nailed' by any fruit!!! ;)

His church is so confident, they paid him to leave the state of Colorado, and never talk about the issue or preach for them again. For Christians, they seem to be awfully devoid of 'faith' in their healing process! ;)

Considering you didn't say anything coherent, but just slung up a bunch of hate rhetoric - that's true. No more needs to be said by you.
Everyone here knows exactly how 'bright' and 'articulate' you are.
/Sarcasm
February 8th, 2007 at 7:38 pm120 - Haggard is proof that psychologically unstable types use religion as a crutch, much like conservatives use gay-bashing as a crutch to help them curry favor among the ignorant and hateful demographics within our society.
February 8th, 2007 at 7:54 pmEven your OWN hates faggots and lesbians.
Nothing more needs said.

Projecting your own hate, and an inability to understand a joke that isn't harmful, and in fact makes fun of your homophobic bigotry. Yep, you're a bigoted conservative all right.
Wow, you conservatives are really sad, pathologically sad to listen to.

Comment by ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — February 8, 2007 @ 6:27 pm
That's absolutely hilarious!
February 8th, 2007 at 8:06 pmI think it is written in the Bible that we are to be stewards of the earth, yet Daryll's brother the gun-toting, homophobic, christianist refers to liberals with a pejorative adjective of tree-hugging. Contradictory, no?
February 8th, 2007 at 8:07 pmI would let them go seek nourishment, but once they returned, I would inquire about their souls, and ask them whether or not they want to go to heaven.
Comment by Daryll
Come on!!! Am I the only one seeing this? He is the best parody ever...
February 8th, 2007 at 8:10 pm124 - that was wayyyy more than a typo, it was a confession of stupidity like few I've witnessed. Brave of you to do that in a anonymous venue, but consider taking it to the next level, and stand on a streetcorner with a cardboard sign that says what you said here. Then, you'll be a real hero.

February 8th, 2007 at 8:13 pmi really got the sense that he was letting Condi know that we *all* know she's a cooter cruncher.
February 8th, 2007 at 8:14 pmJuan it may well be a parody, so far I'm still fooled. We really have people like this.
February 8th, 2007 at 8:20 pmThat’s absolutely hilarious!

Thanks, but I owe the setup entirely to unbelievable!!!!
The joke told itself ;)
February 8th, 2007 at 8:49 pmDaryll probably doesn't know there's a gay alumni association for Oral Roberts (that name kills me) University.
http://www.whosoever.org/v5i3/oruout.html
Don't you guys wonder how many of those folks 'knew' Daryll in the biblical sense? ;)
February 8th, 2007 at 8:51 pmWas Ackerman's comment offensive? I think it probably was. He didn't note that it was a platoon of BUTCHES. Lipstick lesbians are no good in a fight.
February 8th, 2007 at 9:17 pmI think this is a parody
February 9th, 2007 at 12:24 amA great news story, I hate it when those right-wing bastards shove supposed values of Freedom and Equality and then turn around and oppress others that don't fit there mold. I'm not just refering to gays but also to muslims and an assortment of ethnic groups, and once more they use Christianity to excuse this. Frankly disgusting.
Condi is only in office because she reminds Bush of Catwoman
February 9th, 2007 at 9:18 amw00t! Yet more proof that democrats are funnier.
February 9th, 2007 at 9:45 amThis only makes me continue to wonder how the US stays a super power,with the way the politics are there,you have brought such a smile to my Friday morning.....haha....we have nothing like that here in Canada......equality,you do know that word,don't you?
February 9th, 2007 at 11:23 amwanna a garanteed way to stay out of a draft.. tell them your a gay lesbian trisexual!!
February 9th, 2007 at 12:43 pmSeems that this would go along fairly smoothly if the lesbian group was given some whip cream or mud or jello to take in to battle! WHAT a degrading moment.
February 9th, 2007 at 3:54 pm#54 - nearly fell off my chair.
February 9th, 2007 at 4:57 pmI would like to see the linguists come back alright to the State Department....and I hope they rape the government and charge them out the bazoo for their services.....God Bless America.....
February 10th, 2007 at 3:09 pmRICE: Congressman, I’m not aware of the availability of people, but I certainly will look at what we are doing right now.
That is too funny.... maybe she should have read a newspaper when they were all being thrown out of the military....
February 10th, 2007 at 3:15 pmWhat a pathetic dork. I can't believe that somebody like this could even be elected as a congressman.
February 10th, 2007 at 6:13 pmIt's interesting that the Democrats, who were so indignant that an 18 year old ex-page engaged in steamy online chat sessions with a congressman, don't seem to mind if that page enlists in the military and then has to take showers with a bunch of homos.
February 11th, 2007 at 11:22 pmI am glad all you anti-family God-hating America-hating people have found my blog. Hopefully you will get the truth about our dear God and our Dear Leader, the Divinely inspired President George W. Bush and realize the erro of you ways. the Rapture is coming soon and you will be left behind unless you get on President Bush's, and more importantly, GOD's bandwagon. Please, I beg, pray to our dear leader and to God almighty so you will not be left behind when the rapture comes.
February 14th, 2007 at 2:39 amSorry, I gave the wrong address.
Look at R U Rapture Ready to get the low down on the real news that matters - That God loves law-abiding American Christians and those who show obedience to our dear God-Blessed leader, the God-loving George W. Bush.
Praise God for sending us George W. Bush. It all is happening for a reason and that reason is the Rapture is coming soon. Don't be left behind! Give you soul to God and you will not be left behind when the Rapture comes and it is coming soon.
