		<description>Um, why is it a violation of privacy to point out that this guy was a porn star? When you are filmed having sex for videos, it&#039;s not a matter of privacy anymore..it was his damn occupation!</description>

		<description>#77. &lt;strong&gt;PET scans have revealed the specific areas of the brain that give rise to anger, revenge, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, stuttering, pathological lying, cheating, manipulation, obsessive-compulsive behavior, depressive disorders, and liberalism. The core of liberal â€˜thinkingâ€™ is the same sort of pathology that characterizes other mental disorders, i.e. a â€œglitch in the brain that produces â€˜feelingsâ€™ and behavior over which liberals have no control. In a nutshellâ€”it is biologically impossible for you to understand Conservatism.&lt;/strong&gt;

I&#039;ll examine you, okay...first of all, all the BS you posted that I guess you - very oddly - claim are characteristics of liberals, are probably the contents of of *YOUR* subconsious values, which you are psychologically projecting onto liberals.  What you TRUELY described are the values and traits of Republicans.

this is funny:
&quot;The core of liberal â€˜thinkingâ€™ is the same sort of pathology that characterizes other mental disorders&quot;

very funny:
&quot;a â€œglitch in the brain that produces â€˜feelingsâ€™ &quot;

Those two statements make you sound like your a retard or seriously confused, and like psychopaths, do not understand higher emotional responses - which makes you afraid of &quot;feelings&quot;, and confusion when dealing with non-psychopaths.

Your statements and claims are nothing new to me, all conservatives I have ever talked to, have the same issues you have.  And biologically speaking - they would be defined as psychopaths.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Itâ€™s the nasty, gloating liberals who claim to stand for tolerance, privacy, human rights, and compassion. I predicted the other day that left-wing bigotry would rear its ugly head. I was right. The e-mail Iâ€™ve received is more disgusting than anything Ann Coulter stupidly said at CPAC.&lt;/strong&gt;

Someone is a little confused about what bigotry means, and compassion.  These Repblicans have such fractured minds - they can&#039;t tell the difference between him and you, my subconscience from his values.  This guy is foaming at the mouth and he has no idea what is going on.</description>

		<description>re:  # 77 comment by 20wordsorless:

Yeah, do you have a link to that brain scan study that says liberalism is a mental disorder?  Sounds like a drug-addled Rush Limbaugh fantasy.

If you look up &quot;eating disorder&quot; in the dictionary, you see a picture of Ann Coulter.  And for &quot;pathological liar&quot;, you see George W. Bush!

Liberals have really had some crazy ideas like:  democracy instead of monarchy: end to slavery: end to serfdom; women can vote: education for all regardless of income; blacks can register to vote in Mississippi without getting shot; blacks do not have to give up their seats to whites: blacks can attend their state university; workers should earn more than $5.15 per hour;  time-and-a-half for overtime; employer provides health insurance; employer pays for sick leave and annual leave;  poisoning the air, water, soil, and food is wrong; meat should be checked for MadCowDisease; blood supply should be checked for HIV; savings and loans should be regulated; companies like Enron should be regulated;  companies like Enron should actually pay taxes; etc.  Do I really need to go on?</description>

		<description>Well, I guess that solves it, we can refer to Republicans as faggots from now on. Do you see a pattern here? &quot;Hi I&#039;m Dave the Republican and I love America, Freedom, Families and nothing makes me happier than to have sex with other men for money or star in all male gang bang/role play films. Oh, and I hate gay marriage....&quot; It is official, if some one says &quot;I&#039;m a Republican&quot; or I support the president&quot;, you can be damn sure that that they are probably engaging in gay sex or gay prostitution..or both. Faggots!</description>

Was that a pun? If so, it was as bad as
â€œSanchez has had a LENGTHY career in gay porn.â€ 

Good ones. 

And now they&#039;re firmly behind Republicans.

Better word for a gay Republican - Masochist.  Even when they give you awards they&#039;re outing you to the national media.  Great folks.</description>

Being gay is the same as being a prostitute or porno actor.

Take pride, log cabineers, looks like you&#039;ve moved up a notch in the Righty hierarchy. Keep up the support, and you may be elevated to the status of abused spouse.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the thing that I&#039;d like to see Malkin and the other right-wing mouthpieces address. The guy&#039;s a gay porn star and he receives an award from a group of conservatives. Let&#039;s drop the &quot;gay&quot; part for just a minute and bring in Mary Carey, the porn star (current--not former) who was invited to the White House and warmly received by fellow GOP guests. Let&#039;s add to that the porn industry exec (gay porn, by the way) who has donated big time to the GOP, and the cable companies and hotel chains who show hardcore porn in their rooms and are also big supporters of the GOP.

It&#039;s time to kick the GOP off of the fence. You can&#039;t have it both ways. Either you despise porn and it&#039;s the scourge of mankind and you won&#039;t associate with or accept money from the people who produce, promote, and distribute it. Or, you consider it a matter for consenting adults to decide whether or not they wish to view it, and you cut out this nonsense of pretending you&#039;re against it just so you can pretend you&#039;re holier than thou.

The problem for the GOP is this. The party is made up of the bluenose bible-thumpers who, regardless of their personal demons, spout off about pornography and blame the &quot;liberals&quot; for allowing it to propagate. And it&#039;s also made up of libertarians who accuse the &quot;liberals&quot; of trying to apply censorship for wanting to limit access to pornography. Never do the Republican bluenoses and the Republican libertarians point the finger at each other. And it&#039;s high time somebody held their feet to the fire and made them face up to their gross hypocrisy.

And if you throw in the gay element to it, you just amplify that hypocrisy about tenfold. The Republican party is 99 and 99/100s percent pure bullshit. These people have so alienated themselves from the truth, they are utterly clueless as to the meaning of the word.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s one more aging whore at CPAC (whether male or female?) The press seemed to miss the fact Jeff Gannon/Guckert also was glad handing the CPAC crowd...these folks are a fount of hypocricy. Without Gannon and Sanchez...poor little Phyliss Schafley&#039;s son wouldn&#039;t have had anyone to talk to...(yeah we&#039;ll say talk.)</description>

		<description>#81 To be fair, she said the bashing was in emails she received, not in liberal blogs. These emails, she surmised, were from liberals. She knew they were liberals because they were rude, and anyone who is rude to her is by her definition a liberal. 

I agree conservatives should not be embarrassed. They should embrace the rainbow, and the 2008 Republican Presidential candidates should take this shining example of academic and sexual freedom on a speaking tour of the South... and Utah.</description>

		<description>I would like to see how the cat fight between Coulter and Malkin plays out. Especially since Peggy Noonan has taken Malkin&#039;s side. I&#039;m sure the S/he Wolf of the SS has her whip all ready for these girly- girls.</description>

		<description>I wrote a large post on my little blog about Sanchez.

In it, I said that I could give two hoots and a holler about whether or not the man is gay, worked in porn, or as an escort.

What I DO fault him for is speaking on behalf of the * war for oil when he himself has no combat experience in it, and for cozying up to the very people who revile him as a matter of public policy.</description>
