Gallagher: Protection of gay rights could lead to pedophiles adopting young children.

On his radio show today, right-wing talker Mike Gallagher responded to the California Supreme Court’s decision yesterday to bar “doctors from invoking their religious beliefs as a reason to deny treatment to gays and lesbians.” Gallagher agreed with a caller who wondered if the ruling meant “pedophiles could adopt”:

gallagher.jpgDAVID: The question I had told your screener, I said, if I’m understanding, California said because of sexual orientation, they can’t deny you service, so, does that mean pedophiles could adopt?

GALLAGHER: Well that’s just, that’s a great question. I mean, if you work in an adoption agency and a guy comes in saying, “I like little girls and I want to adopt a nine-year old girl and I’m going to probably sleep with her while I’m at it,” could the adoption agency person say, “well, excuse me, my religious beliefs find that, lead me to find that repugnant, I’m not going to do it.” Can he then turn around and sue the adoption agency and win like the lesbian did?

Listen here:

Gallagher and his caller’s claims are ridiculous. Sexual contact with a minor under the age of 18 is illegal in California. In fact, California passed the “toughest” sex offender law in the nation in 2006. No matter how much the right wing tries to insist upon it, being gay is not the equivalent of being a pedophile.

Digg It!

    This was de-bunked years ago. Someone shove a sock in his bull-horn of hate.
    And, me thinks you doth protest too much.

    Is there a Most Insane American contest going on? That appears to be the case here, and the competition is Intense. I truly pity the knuckle-dragging primates that listen to this lunatic. And I apologise to apes and monkeys of the world for comparing their ‘more evolved’ cousins to them. Impeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!

    On his radio show today, right-wing talker Mike Gallagher…

    – - Umm, Gallagher, the vegetable/smashing “entertainer”, is taken far more seriously than this putrid gasbag Gallagher.


  6. Hope says:

    Is he speaking about himself?


  7. livelongandprosper says:

    Let’s see. If someone went to an adoption agency and said “I like little girls and I want to adopt a nine-year old girl and I’m going to probably sleep with her while I’m at it,”, then I think there are laws that would allow the agency to say no. It has nothing to do with religion. But Gallagher knows this. Hey Mike, do you get nervous when someone says “Gay”? Gay Gay Gay Gay Gay Gay Gay. LOL Frightened sissy.


  8. Leftside Annie says:

    I include YOU in that term “filthy minded idiots” Darryl – so SHUT THE EVERLOVING FOCK up. God-smacked moron.


  9. 5th Estate says:

    Hey Mike, why don’t you ‘go undercover’, try it and see what happens. But don’t tell anyone you’re going to do it beforehand otherwise it will ruin the whole thing.


  10. livelongandprosper says:

    Homosexuality is a perversion.

    Religion is a disease.

    Daryll Says: “but if a lesbian wants to be inseminated, the answer is no.”

    Does the same apply to laura bush? apparently, george has slow sperm (go figure) and the twins ginna & tonic were conceived that way.


  12. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    Daryll Says: “Homosexuality is a perversion.”

    Daryll, doesn’t it seem a little odd to you jesus’ best friends were 12 dudes and there wasn’t a single chick at the last supper?


  13. 666lattes says:

    Daryll Says:

    “Homosexuality is a perversion.”

    Then why did God make so many people (and even many animals) gay? I guess you should really take this up with “Him”.


  14. shoeless says:

    Sounds like Mike Gallagher spends a lot of time thinking about sleeping with little girls.


  15. sectionop92 says:

    Ah, pedophiles aren’t gay…they are just sick fu(ks who want to touch/rape children! These child rapists don’t go for gay guys/lesbian women their own ages. That’s a total fallacy and right wingnut hate. Pedophiles like children, because they are easy targets and complete extremely sick fantasies.

    So, Mr. Gallagher…why do you not like the notion of established reason and logic? Because “your kind” makes life in this democracy 100 times as hard as it should be!


  16. jaymark says:

    I don’t post here often, but I wonder if Darryl’s parody is intentional, or is he a right-wing a**hat making himself look like a…..right-wing a**hat.


  17. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    Daryll Says:
    “do what Jesus told you to do”

    you mean hang out with all men and push away women like mary magdelene who offer “happy endings”? sounds pretty gay to me.


  18. 666lattes says:

    Daryll Says:

    “Libs, do what Jesus told you to do. Be obedient.”

    Jesus taught me to rebel. You weren’t paying any attention in church, were you?


  19. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    by the way, daryll, how’s the little bastard spawn of dick cheney’s lesbian daughter doing?


  20. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Just when you think these people had hit bottom at how ridiculous they can get, they have to go and fool you.

    Does any thinking adult believe the $hit these guys dish out?

    The court ruling said that gays can’t be denied “medical service” not “service”.


  21. 666lattes says:

    Daryll Says:

    “It is a choice”

    So, when exactly did you choose to be strait?


  22. Wayne says:

    Daryll Says:
    The doctor should put down his stethoscope and take out his bible and tell that sinner what thus sait the Lord.

    So you advocate doctors breaking the law?
    Typical Republinut

    Did Jesus say its ok to break the law Daryll?


  23. Shayne says:

    Well I’d have to say this Gallagher definitely has the looks for radio.


  24. livelongandprosper says:

    Libs, do what Jesus told you to do.

    No thanks, I’ll do what my heart and head think is best. I’ll take in things real people say and consider that. I don’t look to fictional characters for advice on anything – except maybe Smokey the Bear, he has some real good advice.

    Do you ever wonder why your fictional characters are interpreted differently by many people? That should be a big clue as too the delusion that religion is.


  25. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Daryll Says:
    The doctor should put down his stethoscope and take out his bible and tell that sinner what thus sait the Lord. Homosexuality is a perversion.

    So Daryll, would you please quote to us what verse in the bible calls homosexuality a “perversion”. Thanks in advance for your answer.


  26. LividLib says:

    Bozo The Neoclown Says:

    “Does the same apply to laura bush? apparently, george has slow sperm (go figure) and the twins ginna & tonic were conceived that way.”

    yeah, and his sperm had to stop at Laura’s Exxon/Mobil Cervix Station and ask for directions.


  27. 5th Estate says:

    Darryl’s God is totally okay with incest, pimping, infanticide, slavery, barbecues, mass murder, rape, extortion and intimidation, but shellfish, like gays, are an abomination ( unless they are named Saul and David)–so let’s keep a sense of perspective here people.


  28. misshusseinmolly says:

    In the first place, there are some big differences between adoption agencies and fertility clinics.

    Adoptions agencies place children with families wishing to adopt them. There is a careful screening process. Not just for pedophilia, but for a host of other red flags that indicate a home might not be a good environment for a child.

    Fertility clinics do not screen for home environment. They screen for health issues — such as if a woman can safely be pregnant without danger to her health.

    Furthermore, there are big differences between homosexuality and pedophilia — although that doesn’t stop the homophobes from trotting out that association every chance they get. Most child molesters are heterosexual.


  29. 5th Estate says:

    to clarify #30

    I don’t mean to suggest that God approves of gay shellfish named Saul and David. Obviously that would be ridiculous and very, very wrong.


  30. Shayne says:

    Whether Daryll is a parody or not he is a hypocrite at almost every post.


  31. Badmoodman says:

    Badmoodman Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

    – - Must ALL things be in moderation? Harummph.


  32. sectionop92 says:

    Daryll Says:

    California is a place that will pay for its deeds. I believe that people should receive treatment regardless of sexuality, but if a lesbian wants to be inseminated, the answer is no. The doctor should put down his stethoscope and take out his bible and tell that sinner what thus sait the Lord. Homosexuality is a perversion.

    Where do you live…Moralton, U.S.A.? California has the largest Neocon base in the nation, dumba$$. Sorry, we’re not all hedonists and we don’t dance around a golden idol in our underpants. Being Gay or Lesbian isn’t a perversion, but rather a sexual orientation…like the one you have. It was around in the time of the Greeks…before Jesus, in the time of the Romans…before Jesus…and in all times ever and since. You’re just too dumb and righteous to acknowledge that those different than you are pretty much the same as you, you just choose not to know that. It is people like you who are the dangerous ones…as your beliefs stir the fires of ancient hatreds that never die.

    So Daryll, would you please quote to us what verse in the bible calls homosexuality a “perversion”. Thanks in advance for your answer.
    _______________________________________________________

    You’re wasting your breath. Daryll hasn’t been able to quote any part of the Bible regarding homosexuality except for Leviticus and Romans, both of which have been debunked here as insufficient responses to our questions.

    And he hasn’t been able to quote ANY verse where Jesus condemned homosexuality. Because He didn’t.

    But this won’t stop him from blithering on his merry way. All you can do is ignore him or flag him — and because there are days when he’s able to entertain us with fresh material (this isn’t one of those days), we generally don’t flag him.


  34. Shayne says:

    Jesus also had a problem with the money changers Daryll is so fond of. I wonder what Jesus would say about Daryll cherry picking the parts of the bible that work for his party.


  35. Shayne says:

    Daryll is a hater. I wonder what Jesus would say about that.


  36. vinylspear says:

    Xenophobia and homophobia, such a pity to exclude people from your life that could provide enlightenment. And, I do not mean this a sexually suggestive way.
    People don’t wear signs and it’s good that they don’t.
    You never know who your teachers may be.


  37. sectionop92 says:

    I didn’t know the Bible taught that you should only love those who are like you.

    BTW…how come these people who preach hate look as ugly as that of what they say? Is that karma kicking their a$$es?


  38. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    Shayne Says:
    Daryll is a hater. I wonder what Jesus would say about that.

    Jesus already knows that and he has a “Do not admit” on Daryll’s file. Daryll will never get into heaven. There is a special place in hell with Daryll’s name already on it.


  39. 666lattes says:

    Daryll Says:

    “During the pre-teen stage, but even before that, as soon as I had knowledge about the word of God (Age 6), I understood that homosexuality was wrong.”

    So, there was no undeniable attraction to the opposite sex? Figures… ever heard the phrase “thou dost protest too much”?


  40. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    ::::::shaking head::::::

    jesus doesn’t like ugly daryll. good luck getting into paradise.


  41. bob hussein lablah says:

    Daryll,

    You seriously crack me up. It might behoove you to make a gay friend or two and have them tell you about their “choice” to be gay. It simply doesn’t work that way, pal. Would you choose to adopt a lifestyle in which you encounter hatred on a daily basis?


  42. livelongandprosper says:

    People don’t wear signs and it’s good that they don’t.
    You never know who your teachers may be.

    Great point. A good article about Allan Rodgers in The New Yorker a couple of weeks ago. Intelligent and an awesome communicator. A real asset for the US Military. Oh yeah, he was gay as well. Oh well Daryl, you Jesus-in-Chief killed him in Iraq. You must be happy for one less homosexual to pray about.

    If I thought it would help I’d pray for Daryl.


  43. sectionop92 says:

    I hope Daryll never saw the clip of Larry Linville saying that if you met a Frank Burns in real life, that you should stay as far away from that person as you can.

    Because I do see a shrine dedicated to Frank Burns in Daryll’s house.


  44. Bobwurst says:

    During the pre-teen stage, but even before that, as soon as I had knowledge about the word of God (Age 6), I understood that homosexuality was wrong.

    So drywall just admitted that he considered homosexualty, that he felt he had to choose to engage solely in heterosexual sex becuase the “bible” told him too. Interesting admission there fella. If it weren’t for the bible, you’d be a catcher…


  45. livelongandprosper says:

    Daryll Says:

    LOL. And if your mind wasn’t poisoned at the age of 6, you may have turned into a caring human being. Daryl, go ask a 6 year old if they know what homosexuality is. And make sure you ask one who has not been poisoned.

    666lattes asked which box you checked off while attending your fundamentalist secondary school. Gay or straight? Most of us were taking interest aptitude tests in, you know, our regular schools.


  48. Bobwurst says:

    But, since Daryll can’t seem to find that place in the bible that told him that homosexuality is a perversion, one has to suspect his story as to when he decided to be straight.


  50. sectionop92 says:

    Daryll felt funny after playing on the monkey bars at recess and looking on his male friend with a newly found “fondness”, that brought a smile to his face that he never felt before as a six-year old. Then he found God in the restroom at lunchtime after much crying and shame…some of it involved carving a crucifix on his chest with a rusty piece of metal.


  51. Bobwurst says:

    drywall, just try it once. According to your religion, you can always confess your sins and be cleansed, right? just go for it, The next time you’re out of town on business, take a side trip to the wild side of town (you know where that is, don’t deny it) and buy yourself a cute young man for an hour or two and explore those long suppressed urges. You can just lay on the bed if you want and let him touch you, caress you, hold you in his mouth…you know you want to…

    Wrong, this is why AIDS exists. AIDS is actually singular, not plural.

    And wrong, this is not why AIDS exists.

    Unless I miss my guess this Daryll fool is himself very much a homosexual. Self-hatred at it’s finest.

    I hadn’t realized that Daryll was a victim of child abuse. Six years old? Very sad.


  65. Bobwurst says:

    Daryll has backed out of the closet folks, we should support him. He’s admitted that he chose to be straight becuase he was told at a very young age that those feelings he has were wrong. He has amitted that he can’t buy a male hooker becuase he’s afraid of catching a disease, not becuase he’s not gay.

    Daryll is Daryll. I vacillate on my opinion as to whether he’s a fiendishly clever parody or a particularly moronic Psycochristian. It often seems like he learns enough about a subject to arrive at the worst possible conclusion. But, when I’m in the mood, I assume he’s a legitimate threat to the continued survival of the human race.


  75. Count Istvan says:

    Anyway getting back to Gallagher. How could any real patriotic America first flag loving American support a person who wouldn’t wear the military uniform for real when he had a chance to do so yet has no problem wearing it as a cheep publicity stunt?

    I gotta run, but thank you Daryll and everybody else. Laughter is good for the heart and mind….


  77. sectionop92 says:

    I think what Daryll is saying, is that we’re all cloned from Jesus. So that means Jesus was cloned from God…so he was a clone himself, but merged with a human…the “Virgin” Mary. So that means Jesus was a ba$tard half-human/half-god clone. So to sum it up, Jesus was a flawed clone, so God futzed it all up. So Jesus is responsible for all the “ills”, even though he is the “savior”.

    Daryll’s logic has led to the downfall of Jesus Christ!


  78. pbg says:

    And neither Leviticus nor Romans say ONE SINGLE THING about lesbians. It’s all ‘man with another man’.

    Is it not amazing that the Reichwing would trust a Lush Rimjob, Mann Coulter, Bill 0′Really or any number of scandal plagued Republicriminals, to care for a child but would deny that right to a Rachel Maddow? What kind of harm did Michele “Crazy Shelly” Bachmann do, while she was a “professional foster mom”, before her political career? How many Republicriminals have been convicted of sex crimes and gone on to champion “family values” to the sheeple?

    At a certain point, those without morals lose the credibility to comment on morality.

    PeaceMonkey Says:

    Why are so many religious people always thinking about having sex with children?

    My theory is that at least some of them choose a religious life as a way to escape the parts of themselves that they believe are “sinful” and that they are unable to face.

    Only problem with that strategy is, supression of desires doesn’t make them go away, it just forces them to find new outlets. If they weren’t attracted to children at first, they may come to see children as safe targets.


  89. had enough says:

    Dayrll

    When the religious freaks come to my door trying to save me I simply tell them I obey God’s laws better than most religious folks.. and why is that?
    Besides not proselytizing my spiritual beliefs( as you must know Jesus said to pray in the closet) I do not judge others and make ridiculous assumptions of those different than myself.

    Your non acceptance of others unlike yourself truly makes you a sinner Dayrll… repent your sins now!

But let me say this: during the Age of AIDS, some doctors REFUSED to give an AIDS diagnosis because of their “beliefs!” It was a time when layman had to look through medical records and find out if the t-cell count was low enough so that people could avail themselves of San Francisco services (note: “FAITH-BASED” agencies didn’t exist. The Southern Baptist Convention still doesn’t have a single one, except in Africa).

    Organized religion has been making “outcasts” “lepers” “heathens” and “pagans” for many years. It won’t give up on stigmatizing gays. Ever. The doctors who refuse to treat patients because they are gay are not doctors in the true sense.

    Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath, NOT the Hypocritic Oath.

    And yet hypocrisy is an even BIGGER perversion than any one you can care to name, but that hasn’t stopped you one little bit, now has it?

    Daryll Says:

    Well obviously no one in their right mind cares what you say but your IGNORANCE is a perversion. What a cowardly bedwetting moron you are.


  99. EugeneDebs says:

    Daryll Says:

    Jesus made the being, but didn’t make them gay. It is a choice, and a sinful choice, too.

    Well Daryll I have to admit you do one thing that is impressive. You increase your already vintage STOOPID in every post. What evidence do you have its a choice? I know it wasnt for me. I saw Raquel Welch in 1 Million BC when I was about 8 and not thinking about sex at all. I thought I had a fever. All I could think was I gotta get me one of THEM, That big hairy guy though, not so much. Tell us when you DECIDED to be a heterosexual. I think the women of the world would want to declare it a day of mourning. Adding that much stoopid to our potential gene pool is just tragic. Why would anyone CHOOSE to be discriminated against by bigoted morons like you? Why would anyone want to take the chance of being the next Matthew Sheppard. You incredibly stupid cretins think things magically become true because you WANT them to be true and SAY them. You are stupid. Your posts are monuments to ignorance. I would laugh at you except for the pity.

    Daryll Says:

    Wrong, this is why AIDS exist.

    Wrong but this is why stoopid people like YOU exist as an object lesson to ACTUAL human beings meanwhile you are an embarassment to our entire species

    Scratch a raging homophobe like this guy, and you will find a big ol closet case, every time.

    I guarantee you that is the motivation behind this kind of behavior. He should be investigated and outed.


  102. Mugsy says:

    Someone should tell Gallagher that the rate of “pedophilia an and criminal sexual misconduct” is higher among REPUBLICANS than it is among the gay community.

    Maybe we should be screening adoptive parents for “political affiliation”?

    Daryll,
    You seriously crack me up. It might behoove you to make a gay friend or two and have them tell you about their “choice” to be gay. It simply doesn’t work that way, pal. Would you choose to adopt a lifestyle in which you encounter hatred on a daily basis?
    August 19th, 2008 at 6:04 pm

    bit, in one of his duties, had occasion to speak with a young homosexual male. Man needed a place to stay for a day or two. bit asked him about his health. He said he thought he was Ok, but that he had knowingly had sex with another man who was HIV+. He remarked that at the time that he did this he just didn’t care.

    bit understands that this degree of “self loathing” that would cause someone to “not care” is common among homosexuals.


    Would you choose to adopt a lifestyle in which you encounter hatred on a daily basis?

    In answer to this question, how about another question? Why would someone knowingly chose to drink themselves to death. It happens.

    BTW, aren’t the some homosexuals who are called “bug chasers” who try to become HIV+.
    Why would anyone do that?

    Then why did God make so many people (and even many animals) gay? I guess you should really take this up with “Him”.
    August 19th, 2008 at 5:46 pm

    So, why don’t you argue that evolution made people gay?


  105. 666lattes says:

    “So, why don’t you argue that evolution made people gay?”

    That’s a fair point because I actually do believe in a “Higher power” and that that higher power created, or more, allowed evolution. The reason I didn’t frame it that way was an attempt to allow for easier communication with someone of Daryll’s apparent world-view.

    Why should I choose to intentionally divide people based on semantics?

    “bit understands that this degree of “self loathing” that would cause someone to “not care” is common among homosexuals.”

    based on your 1 example? If I know of a heterosexual male who has raped women, by your logic, I can make the assumption that most strait guys are rapists and I’m sure we could agree that that would be utterly ridiculous.

    Perhaps you should consider that the “self loathing” that your friend was experiencing was a product of a society that makes him feel that he is somehow wrong for being who he is.

    I’m not gay, but I have enough gay friends and relatives to know that it wasn’t their “choice”. They would have “chosen” a much simpler life if it were really up to them… some of them even did “choose” to live that simpler life, but it really just didn’t work out because it was a lie.

    Made two responses. Sorry, both moderated, and bit didn’t call anyone a name.

    So which of these words does it?
    homosexual
    heterosexual
    rapists
    raped
    unnaturalness

    I seem to remember a highly esteemed actor/director who likes to piddle little girls and thay seemed OK with the system. He is probably a repugNUT anyway! (But I admit I don’t know for sure about his poliical leanings….his piddling little girls is on the record I beleive in NY)

    Except bit didn’t reach this “understanding” through logic, and bit doesn’t mean to suggests that this one example describes all homosexuals.

    It’s a little too convenient to blame the way homosexuals “feel” on the way they are treated by het ero sexuals. It’s not that bit necessarily disagrees with you, it’s simply too convenient.

    Are you blaming the “self loathing” of homosexuals on heterosexuals?

    To bit the “unnaturalness” of this sexual expression is obvious. Perhaps it’s also obvious to many of its practitioners.


  109. Pseudonym says:

    Pedophilia is NOT a sexual orientation.


  110. dbadass says:

    Hi bitblt:
    I am interested in your insights as to gender identity and the biology of such. Wanna join me at the transgendered thread?


  111. 666lattes says:

    “Are you blaming the “self loathing” of homosexuals on heterosexuals?”

    No. I’m blaming it on intentional and unintentional bigots.

    “To bit the “unnaturalness” of this sexual expression is obvious. Perhaps it’s also obvious to many of its practitioners.”

    Homosexuality exists in nature and can therefore not be honestly considered “unnatural” no matter how consistently it is taught as such.
