Gangsters Are More Honest

"So, why aren’t leftists upset at Obama for holding the same beliefs on gay marriage as Carrie Prejean?

Easy, they assume that he is lying. They think his Christianity based justification for opposing actual marriage for gays is simply a lie to fool the rubes on a hot-button issue. They know he might have lost critical support from left-of-center religious conservatives if he had really stated his true beliefs on the matter, so he just lied about his real beliefs to bamboozle the rubes. 

Their comfort with this assumption that Obama is lying reveals a lot about contemporary leftists’ mores and their systematic contempt for their fellow citizens. They’re so full of themselves that they believe that the important thing is for them to have power, and that it really doesn’t matter how they get it. If Obama has to lie about his real beliefs about gay marriage then that’s acceptable in the cause of the greater good. 

The only question for the rest of us is whether the leftists know the real Obama better than we do. In other words, who are the rubes? Are they the people who believe that Obama was stamped by a gay-leery African-American Christian community in Chicago, or are they the people who believe he was stamped by the far-left Northside intellectual subculture that supported his rise to national office? 

Time will tell, I suppose."

Silence!!!!

Perez Hilton's real name is Mario Lavandeira - which is too much like "Mario Lavender" to be funny. Ironic, yes, but not funny.

Not "Hip" But "Hypocrisy" (And Ug-ly!!!)

It seems celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has learned a thing or two,...Everyone who owns a computer or television set know how he insulted Carrie Prejean, Miss California, calling her response “awful,” “the worst in pageant history” when, during the final round of this year’s Miss USA pageant, she said she believed “marriage should be between a man and a woman.”  Incidentally, she holds the same position on marriage as does the President of the United States.

Shouldn’t he then call the Democrat’s stand an “awful” position?

Of course not. That (D) after Obama’s name renders him immune from criticism for taking the same stands which might earn a tongue-slapping for a Republican (or Republican-appearing pageant contestant).

From Jehuda on the Rhetorican, we learn that “Perez Hilton is giving Obama a pass for his anti-gay marriage stance.“ On CNN’s April 26 “Reliable Sources,” while justifying his insults “just part of the vernacular he uses on his Web site,” Hilton tried to explain away Obama’s opposition to same-sex marriage because the Democrat, he claims, “believes gay and lesbian couples should have the same rights that heterosexual couples [have].”  Actually, he doesn’t.  The President believes we should have “equivalent rights.”

While Hilton is outraged that Miss Prejean tells him (as he puts it) that he’s “a second-class citizen” who doesn’t “deserve the same rights that heterosexuals get,” he rewrites Obama’s rhetoric so he doesn’t have to criticize the Democratic President.  She, he believed, spewed “hate” while Obama gets a pass for saying nearly the exact same thing she has.

Meanwhile, They're All Turning Blue In The Face From Repeatedly Claiming To Want An "Honest Dialogue" With Everyone Who Opposes Them

"Why is it okay for Obama to oppose gay marriage, but not okay for Miss California to?

'I didn’t hear the outrage when Joe Biden said that he and Barack Obama are against gay marriage. No incendiary language, no insults, no four letter obscenities.'

Because people figure they’re lying, so it’s okay."

-- Glenn Reynolds, pointing out the Left's mutual (and multiple) wink-and-a-nod clusterfuck of deceptions at work, on Instapundit.

Honesty, trust, leadership - you name it - The Democratic Party's got it all!!!

Exactly

"I don't know why that gay guy Perez was even judging a contest with a bunch of girls. That doesn't make any sense. He should be judging a Chippendale's contest."

-- Jeanette Coppola, grandmother to Miss California Carrie Prejean, and dropping some common sense on the whole Perez Hilton/gay issue that erupted last week, picked up by Radar Online.

This might be where this pageant business all went wrong:

Ewww (Perez Hilton Is) Gross!!!
