We have a nation of people ignorant enough to think the marriage of a same-sex couple will somehow hurt existing children, who applaud the terrorist murder of a man who performed a medical procedure protected by our country’s laws, who were all-too-easily convinced by an army of mortgage brokers that they could magically buy twice the house they could reasonably afford, and, in the coup de grace, our young women are getting Paris Hilton’s autograph tattoed on their wrists.
From Paris’s Twitter: “So Sweet – One of my fans got the autograph I put on her wrist tattooed. Loves it! :) You Rock Girl”
Um, no. You don’t rock, girl. You are a part of the problem.
BIG MISTAKE!
Beet,
You’re confusing people who’s opinions differ from your own with an actual dumbass.
on what planet is getting a paris hilton signature tattooed a “good” opinion??
Arianna I believe you are one of the dumbasses Sara was talking about.
You are the dumbass, and sara.
Sara and DP, you aren’t just dumbasses you are fucking fucktards, No offense or anything…
Tattoo Fail!
haha, FAIL TAT!
EPIC tattoo fail!
That seals it, our culture has officially started to die, the end is nigh. Why a doctor and not Paris, this is what I fail to understand, the world has gone mad.
Yeah Beet, finally speaking out about serious issues again, although channeled through the fog of more Paris Hilton bullshit.
The body is not an autograph book.
I have been a fan of this website for a while, however this is the first time felt compelled to comment! What you said about homosexuals could not be more true! You always seem to articulate your opinions extremely well! I have been in the ARMY since I was 18 yrs old. I am now 25 yrs old! Because they sent me to medical school I will serve 7 before I have the option to leave, assuming we are not at war any longer! I have been on 2 short deployments, my first long term deployment will begin this fall. I am happy with the choices I have made. I do not mean this to sound like I am bitching in any way! I happen to be very much in love with another woman! A woman I can not marry, or even talk about for that matter! It sucks! It has nothing to do with what kind of soldier or doctor I am! Anyway, you can understand why I would appreciate this not being posted on your website! I wish you all the best, and look forward to reading this website for a long time!
> assuming we are not at war any longer!
Ya, good luck with that. I hate to tell you but your fascist government will now constantly be at war.
Just out of curiosity,can you name one thing you have done in the last six months to make a difference to anyone besides yourself?
Has anyone got any spare exclamation points? I seem to have run out.
Thank you, Jessica, for your service. Hopefully the country will return the favor back to you soon and make it so you don’t have to hide who you love in order to keep your job. And hopefully we will make it legal for you to marry the person whom you love!
Not sure why two posters felt compelled to leave rude comments under your post…
OH MY GOD!!
:P :P
we must be a part of the solution!
That picture looks to me like a dick with a condom being unrolled.
2nd, I thought the same before I read the post. And, I swear I don’t have a dirty mind!
ROFL. I see it now that it has been mentioned. hahahah
thanks for saying it out loud, beet!!
ugh. I can’t stand Paris Hilton. She is such a waste of space and life. Why would anyone want that as a tattoo?
I believe Beet meant to mention the serviceman that was killed outside of a recruiting station by a Islam convert in her rant (if she is going to try to blame right-wing zealots for the murder of Tiller the Killer, let’s blame the military killing on leftwing nuts).
“When a right-wing Christian vigilante kills, millions of fingers pull the trigger. When a left-wing Muslim vigilante kills, he kills alone. These are the instantly ossifying narratives in the Sunday shooting death of Kansas late-term abortionist George Tiller versus the Monday shootings of two Arkansas military recruiters.
Tiller’s suspected murderer, Scott Roeder, was white, Christian, anti-government, and anti-abortion. The gunman in the military recruiting center attack, Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, was black, a Muslim convert, anti-military, and anti-American. Both crimes are despicable, cowardly acts of domestic terrorism. But the disparate treatment of the two brutal cases by both the White House and the media is striking.
President Obama issued a statement condemning “heinous acts of violence” within hours of Tiller’s death. The Justice Department issued its own statement and sent federal marshals to protect abortion clinics. News anchors and headline writers abandoned all qualms about labeling the gunman a terrorist. An almost gleeful excess of mainstream commentary poured forth on the climates of hate and fear created by conservative talk radio, blogs, and Fox News for reporting Tiller’s activities.
By contrast, President Obama was silent about the military recruiter attacks that left 24-year-old Private William Long dead and 18-year-old Private Quinton Ezeagwula gravely wounded. On Tuesday afternoon – more than 24 hours after the attack on the military recruiting center in Little Rock – President Obama held a press conference to announce his pick for Army Secretary. It would have been exactly the right moment to express condolences for the families of the targeted Army recruiters and to condemn heinous acts of violence against our troops.
But President Obama said nothing. The Justice Department was mum. And so were the legions of finger-pointing pundits happily convicting the pro-life movement and every right-leaning writer on the planet of contributing to the murder of George Tiller. Obama’s omission, it should be noted, comes just a few weeks after he failed to mention the Bronx jihadi plot to bomb synagogues and a National Guard airbase during his speech on homeland security.
Why the silence? Politically and religiously-motivated violence, it seems, is only worth lamenting when it demonizes opponents. Which also helps explain why the phrase “lone shooter” is ubiquitous in media coverage of jihadi shooters gone wild – think convicted Jeep Jihadi Mohammed Taheri-Azar at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill or Israel-bashing gunman Naveed Haq who targeted a Seattle Jewish charity or Los Angeles International Airport shooter Hesham Hedayet who opened fire at the El Al Israeli airline ticket counter– but not in cases involving rare acts of anti-abortion violence.
Even Jeffrey Goldberg of the left-leaning Atlantic magazine noticed the double standards. He called attention to a National Public Radio report on the military recruiter attack that failed to mention the religion and anti-military animus of the suspect. Wrote Goldberg: “Why not tell people what is actually happening in the world? We saw this a couple of weeks ago, when the press only gingerly acknowledged that the malevolent though incompetent suspects in the synagogue bombing-conspiracy case in New York were converts to Islam. How is the public served by this kind of silence? The extremist Christian beliefs of George Tiller’s alleged murderer are certainly relevant to that case, and no one in my profession is hesitant to discuss them. Why the hesitancy to talk about the motivations of the man who allegedly killed Pvt. William Long?”
The truth is that the “climate of hate” doesn’t have just one hemisphere. But you won’t hear the Council on American Islamic Relations acknowledging the national security risks of jihadi infiltrators who despise our military and have plotted against our troops from within the ranks – including convicted fragging killer Hasan Akbar and terror plotters Ali Mohamed, Jeffrey Battle, and Semi Osman.
You won’t hear about the escalating war on military recruitment centers on the op-ed pages of the New York Times – from vandalism to obstruction to Molotov cocktail attacks on campus stations across the country; to the shutdown of a Pittsburgh military recruitment office by zealots holding signs that read “Recruiters are Child Predators;” to the prolonged harassment campaign against the Marine recruiting center in Berkeley, where Code Pink protesters called America soldiers assassins; to the bomb blast at the Times Square recruiting center last March.
And you’ll certainly hear little about the most recent left-wing calls to violence by a Playboy magazine writer who published a vulgar list of conservative female writers and commentators he said he’d like to rape (the obscene slang word he used is not printable). The list was hyped by the magazine’s publicity team and light-heartedly promoted by mainstream publications such as Politico.com (founded by Washington Post reporters).
Is it too much to ask the media cartographers in charge of mapping the “climate of hate” to do their jobs with both eyes open?”
BTW, your Zelda Lily site is terrible.
is that a wrist?
