Singer Michelle Shocked anti-gay rant

[robertlouis]

Folk singer Michelle Shocked took the opportunity at a gig in San Francisco to make an attack on those who support the overturning of Proposition 8 which will re-establish the right of gay people to marry in California. Given her well-known anti-establishment and strongly left-wing credentials, this is quite a turnaround.

I pretty much knew that was coming. Kindly leave the stage! :)

The comments are definitely entertaining. I swear, fundamentalists are like homophobic cockroaches on the internet. It's like you don't generally see them as much while doing your usual thing on the internet... but if the right news article, video, etc. comes up... they swarm in out of nowhere in the comments section!

And then you turn the lights on again and suddenly they aren't there anymore.

Wonderful.

I swear, next time someone tries to tell me there is zero evolutionary benefit to homosexuality... I'm going to whip my dick out and slap them with it.

I am shocked... whoops sorry. I am disappointed that someone with Ms Shocked's credentials should suddenly offer this. But then the Left has no shining record when it comes to sexual politics.

Nah, a quick search shows that she has held that belief for more than 5 years now. I think some of her fans haven't been paying attention to what she has been saying all these years.

It's true that already in 2008 she said, “There are some inconvenient truths that I’m now a born again, sanctified, saved-in-the-blood Christian. So much of what’s said and done in the name of that Christianity is appalling. According to my Bible, which I didn’t write, homosexuality is immoral. But homosexuality is no more or less a sin than fornication. And I’m a fornicator with a capital F."

But her statement on March 17th of this year seems to make much more of a moral distinction between homosexuality and fornication. Her current claim is, "When they stop Prop 8 and force priests at gunpoint to marry gays, it will be the downfall of civilisation, and Jesus will come back."

Actually I agree that if "they...force priests at gunpoint to marry gays..." it will a break in the wall between religion and state. Though there are two points I would make in rebuttal. First of all I don't think gays want to marry priests :). Second, she radically overstates the liberal position (which is decidedly anti-gunpoint) on gay marriage.

...and Jesus will come back."


When people start making you aware of consequences as these it's time to grab your coat and look for the exit. If they happen to be in your house kick them the fuck out as forcefully as need be.

The whole zombie contagion began with that Jesus dude. He just sprang up from the grave and started devouring brains.

Make sure the barrel is long enough and the entry wound is big enough to really pop the Holy Grail out of Him. Check to see for Divine toe-curling in His sandals.

Jesus used to be real sexy, but the other day I opened my door and he kinda rolled in with it and I screamed because I thought he was a rodent or something at first, but then I was like "fuckin' Jesus" and got my paycheck out of the mailbox.

Jesus did seem Hippi-like. If he were around today we'd probably nickname him Pig Pen.

"There is zero evolutionary benefit to homosexuality"

Jesus was somewhat like George Harrison in the early 70s

Manson:
A 2 bit pimp/ex-con/huckster who played jail games on some fried out runaway teeny-boppers, & let the hype get out of hand.

As it was in the beginning, is now & ever shall be.

I don't know much about her but I do know that her mom had her committed as a teenager and she underwent electroshock therapy. I wonder if her name is a reference to that.
