Leading Republican contender and prominent Christian candidate Rick Perry has been accused of hypocrisy after it was revealed that he invested thousands of dollars in the country's largest pornography distributor.

Just a week after he launched his presidential campaign, the Texas governor has come under fire for his investment in Movie Gallery, a company that rented pornographic movies.

In 1995, while serving as Texas' agriculture commissioner, financial disclosures reveal that Mr Perry bought between $5,000 and $10,000 worth of the company's stock.

The revelation is particularly embarrassing for the Republican candidate as the company was boycotted by the American Family Association, which hosted Mr Perry's high-profile prayer rally in Houston a week before he kicked off his campaign.

Don't know how reliable the story is but there you have it.

1. It's from a foreign source

I would consider it as reliable, if not more so, than US CorpMedia...

2. Republicon Family Cesspool Values again?

Republicon hypocrisy just overwhelms the Stank-O-Meter.

Rick Perry’s Hardcore History of Investment in Porn

Here’s the story of how Rick Perry’s name became synonymous with “Teens with T*ts” in some circles. I’ve tried to make this safe for work, but if it’s not, blame Rick Perry, for such are the perils of reporting on good “Christians” like Mr James Richard Perry. If your employer has a problem with this, tell them to see Rick Perry; it’s his money trail we’re following.

Perhaps when you see Rick Perry’s bouffant pompadour, you don’t immediately think “cheerleader”, but pom-pon carrier he was, albeit for Texas A & M instead of the Bush Yale pom-pons that heralded the destruction of America’s economy. But you’re all right with pom-pons on a man. To each their own. You might not be OK with the whole Lieutenant Governor to George W Bush thing. You might not be OK with Perry’s theocratic beliefs. But truthfully, when you picture the handsome, smirking Rick Perry and his Texas down home drawl, are you thinking about pornography?

“Teens Never Say No” kind of pornography? How about “Teens with T*ts”? No? How about “Bisexual Barebacking Vol. 1” or “Big Tit Brotha Lovers 6”?

Kinda makes you all warm and family values-ish.

6. That's the ooze from the "Family Cesspool Values" that forms the

Shit Creek we've been ass deep in since Big Headed Ronnie Raygun mixed reich wing religion with government to form the Religious Reich. It's a hell of a racket, tax exempt Bible thumpers thwart the campaign and tax laws of the land and funnel endless money and support cash to the GOP. Then the GOP spends the bangers dollars banging whores and watching peep shows and visiting bondage bars all in the name of Gawd and his number one Son Jeebus the Socialist.

3. The fact that he invested in a porn company is true

However, since he is a Republican, he is not coming under fire for it AFAIK. Most likely, he'll be celebrated by the media for not being an elitist and being a guy somebody wants to have a beer with...

5. Remember Phil Gramm's Porno Movie?

He invested $15,000 in "Truck Stop Women". Of course, since Phil is Republican, out Whore Press gave him a pass. And Jesus forgave Phil's little bit o backsliding...

7. Republicans call it reasearch...

8. God's anointed to lead the world invests in pornography.

9. This story has been brewing for a week or two, but it looks to me...putting 2 and 2 together...

that since Rove and the Bushes hate him so much, it has surfaced big time in the MSM. I can't imagine that would happen unless Rove gave permission to roll on it.

I think he's throwing "stupf" at the wall to see what sticks. If this one doesn't stick, there's plenty more. Of course, the biggee will be his other love life.

10. I can't figure the electoral calculus on this. It weakens Perry as

a candidate for sure among most Americans, both for its misogyny and its hypocrisy.

But should I be hoping that Romney uses it to drive Perry from the race? I want the weakest Repuke candidate possible for the general election, so I guess I want Romney to use it to drive Perry from the race, since I know Bachmann will use an anti-Mormon whisper campaign to sabotage Romney, leaving Bachmann the last Repuke standing.

11. Um, what's he doing with his hand?

[sarcasmo]

12. Maybe he was planning on Santorum starring in a movie.

14. given the fact that cement head perry's only allegiance is to money...

I wouldn't put it past him. He's neither a Repuke or a former Dem, he's a corporate greed-est. (new term, like it?)

he bends with the financial winds. he has zero integrity, zero belief in anything other than money, plays the half wit tea bagging ball lickers like a harp (and they gladly sing his praises), and glad hands all the corporate support for money he can.

if there is anything that cement head perry's believes, he believes completely in filling his pockets with more cash.

18. That's it in a nutshell.

16. saucy tidbit!

[blkmusclmachine]

17. I'm still waiting for the story to break about Perry's "bag handlers:"

Or is that "sack handlers"?

[Liberal_in_LA]

19. what??!!

[Quantess]

20. But maybe it was a smart investment, money-wise.

21. Well, his nickname was Crotch.

In an op-ed for the Daily Beast, Paul Begala recalls how he first met Rick Perry in 1985, when Perry was a Democratic freshman state rep. "He wore his jeans so tight, and, umm, adjusted himself so often that my fellow young legislative aides and I used to call him Crotch."

22. It's only porn if it is associated with a Dem.

When it is a Repub., then it is considered a 'How-To' or 'Self-Help'.
