Matt Barber of Concerned Women of America not too keen on upcoming Presidential debate for gay USA
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 06:49 AM by Bluebear

Matt Barber, "Concerned Woman"

WASHINGTON, July 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- On August 9, MTV's homosexual cable network, Logo, is hosting the first-ever presidential debate intended to promote the homosexual and transgender (gender identity disorder) lifestyles. All major presidential candidates have been invited to participate. To date, all Republican presidential candidates have declined, while all major Democratic candidates have accepted. Those candidates who have accepted are Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-New York), Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois), former Sen. John Edwards (D-North Carolina), Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Connecticut), former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

Both Joe Solmonese, president of the homosexual "Human Rights Campaign" and lesbian singer/activist Melissa Etheridge have been selected as panelists.

Matt Barber, CWA's Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said, "This debate is clearly designed to advance the radical homosexual agenda and to promote social and governmental acceptance and celebration of the high-risk and destructive homosexual lifestyle.

"It's disgraceful that our nation's moral standards have now dipped so low that it's considered 'tolerant' to hold a debate organized entirely around the promotion of sexual immorality. What's next? Are presidential candidates going to be asked to participate in a debate on how to garner widespread acceptance of adultery or incest? Are members of the growing polygamy lobby and the pedophile group NAMBLA going to tap candidates for a televised debate to promote their chosen lifestyles?

"Thousands of years of history, every major world religion, the unambiguous science of human biology and good old fashioned common sense have established that homosexual behaviors are both immoral and destructive to the lives, health and spiritual well being of those who choose to participate in those behaviors. For instance, the CDC has recently determined that 71 percent of all males living with deadly HIV/AIDS were infected with the disease through homosexual behaviors," said Barber, "Furthermore, the CDC has determined that homosexuals -- especially males -- are by far at greatest risk for nearly all forms of sexually transmitted disease as well as other lifestyle related injuries.

"Will any of the presidential candidates bring up any of these facts during the debate? Organizers are expecting them to fall all over themselves trying to prove to the world who's most sympathetic to the left's twisted version of 'tolerance' and 'diversity.' But there's nothing to debate here. These candidates should play it straight, so to speak, and call it like it is. Immorality is immorality," concluded Barber.

10. I call their group, the Hysterical Republican women of America.
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 07:55 AM by liberaldemocrat7
If any friends of their organization reads this:

Focus on your own party. Your RepubliKLAN party has enough pedophiles, adulterers, seekers of prostitutes, embezzlers, economic exploiters.

In my view the RepubliKLAN party has lowered the moral standard in politics and in America. Not the Democratic party.


People like former Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, former Representative Duke Cunningham, Former Representative Tom Delay, Former Representative Bob Ney, former Representative Mark Foley, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, quite a few college Republican leaders, former Representative Henry Hyde, Bob Livingston, Senator David Vitter and several current office holding Republicans appear to have lowered the moral standard in America.


Focus on your own damn family.

24. How about that "transgender lifestyle"?
I'm still puzzling over that one. Transgender lifestyle. I wonder what that's supposed to be?

8. Thousands of Years huh???
Edited on Sun Jul-22-07 07:16 AM by rpannier
Classical Greece and Rome
Post Roman Empire

Rather long period of time in western Europe where people didn't seem to really pay that much attention.

You'd think if this was such an immoral lifestyle -- Jesus would have spoken a few times on it. Especially since he lived during Roman occupation.

9. Matt Barber..
...can go fuck himself.

I am so sick of this bullshit. If these yahoos were so fucking concerned with the "health risks" of the "homosexual lifestyle", why in the HELL are they so hell bent on PREVENTING homosexuals from forming long term commited relationships? Isn't it about time they evolved beyond the knuckle dragging stage? Oh, that's right, they don't believe in evolution either.

12. Just because they don't believe in it...
doesn't mean they aren't still dragging their knuckles.

They're idiots!

11. And that "Concerned Woman" is also full of bullshit....

"Thousands of years of history, every major world religion, the unambiguous science of human biology and good old fashioned common sense have established that homosexual behaviors are both immoral and destructive to the lives, health and spiritual well being of those who choose to participate in those behaviors."

Thousands, eh' there Mattie ol' boy? Of course not more than 6,000 years cause that would be longer than the earth is old. And its still flat where you come from too, I bet. But ya know, the only thing that's lasted for thousands of years is the kind of tripe coming out of your mouth -- which is nothing more than religious bigotry and hatred which is about all religion is good for these days. You're with that "I'm right, you're wrong" crowd, which is its primary message, the coin of the realm.

And its so decent of you to open the arms of friendship to all those other "major world religions" ya'll hate so much the rest of the time. But you want to use them now don't you? Problem with your position on this is, they got their marching orders and fairy stories from the same source. So it isn't too strange that the same bullshit would be coming from any of the Abrahmics. Everyone else's religion/philosophy seems to say just chill out.

And one other thing there Mattie ol' boy, why is your ugly face the one we're seeing instead of a woman? Don't you have any woman there at Concerned Woman of America who are free to speak? I bet you got em' all in the kitchen fixin' your lunch, right? Hey, here's an idea, why not try Ann Coulter as spokes-henchman, I hear she's real good. And she can double as a man or a woman. Depending on the crowd....

K&R!!!

13. Matt Barber-odd name and face to be seen speaking for
a WOMAN's group. I don't think any women really belong to it. After all, it is men (who usually have feelings themselves that they don't wish to address) who appear to be most "threatened" by homosexuals.

14. Fuck you, Matt Barber.
I don't know what this debate will accomplish. Most of the candidates on that stage oppose same-sex marriage. But I will hope that Joe Solomonese and Melissa Etheridge will grill the candidates about that.

Nevertheless, this debate is important simply because it's taking place...this is the first time Presidential candidates will debate solely about issues important to GLBT Americans.

So, I say to Matt Barber, "Concerned Woman"...fuck you. Don't like it? Don't watch. Your bigotry and hate is irrelevant.

15. Rudy was busy scouting out his next wife,
Mitt was busy, he's spending time with Michael Vick, and McCain can't afford the cabfare to the debate.

Newt has a month long engagement with Muppets on Ice*.


FU Matt Barber, you despicable bloviating lowlife clownturd.












*All hail Jim Ward

16. Matt Barber Can Suck It.
Can't we buy an island somewhere and ship all these religious freaks over there? How about Guam? We're not really using it for much right now, are we? Ship all those assholes and their bibles over there, and let them live in a world without openly gay people, or abortions. But sterilize them all first. And then, blow up the island. And then pee on it.

Can you tell I'm about fed up with this horseshit? :nuke:

19. So does that mean that lesbians are God's chosen people?
"Furthermore, the CDC has determined that homosexuals -- especially males -- are by far at greatest risk for nearly all forms of sexually transmitted disease as well as other lifestyle related injuries."

They have the lowest risks for most STDs of sexually active people, lower for most things than heteros of either gender.

20. Jesus created lesbians for the entertainment of straight men, you see.
But only if they are babe-a-licious Swedish flight attendant types, not Rosie O'Donnell types. :eyes:

25. I sense a closet full of denial
If this assbucket thinks he's a "concerned woman," he's got far more issues than he can deal with by horking up a press release.
