Perry: Government you can TRUST.

He used to go fishing with Dick Cheney, you know.

Emote-worthy?

Wait....people shoot fish....

...I can't even come up with a response to that.

That's because you hate Baby Jesus, and make out with communists.

IMMA COMMIE!!!!!!!

xpost for Ric Perri WRATH

[Cain]

I'm thinking

- lots of "Ric Perri - NOT GAY" pictures
- uploading to reddit, digg etc
- angry group of "Perri" supporters on Facebook insisting he is not gay (naturally, made by us)
- ?????
- MEDIA COVERAGE!

Sounds like a plan, have another one!



mmm soft focus ...

I'll pass on the "not gay" meme

for the same reason I'd pass on a "not a nigger" meme

[Doktor Howl]

You seriously don't see a difference, here?

[Cramulus]

I honestly truly just want people's race and sexuality to not be part of the discussion

Even though this image meme is obviously tongue in cheek, it's still bringing a particle to the foreground that I don't think belongs in politics

there are so much more valid, cutting, useful things to say about perry than trying to start a false flag rumor that he's gay

I don't want my enemies to experience homophobia either

it's all the lapel pin bullshit. It's superficial - smoke and mirrors. The more we talk about it, even when we satirize it, the more real it becomes, the more easy it is for it to become part of the discussion in the future.

[Cramulus]

It shares a vibe with the Christina O'Donnell episode last year... Remember how she apparently banged that random guy a few years ago, was awful in bed, and before the election, the guy went to a journalist and spilled his guts?

I hated Christina O'Donnell, but I don't think slut shaming her was in any way cool. Calling somebody a slut is vulgar, it's based on misogyny, and while yes, it made O'donnell look bad, it probably also deterred some women from getting into politics.

Explain, cause this confuses me?

afaik, "Gay" is not a slur, like "Nigger". the difference is that "Nigger" is offensive in any context.

and second, it's because Rick Perree is being an intolerant prick towards gay people.

or, wait maybe I get it:

implying Rick Perry might be gay (by denying it strongly) is intended to get him (and his supporters) to get worked up about it, but a campaign for getting them worked up about it also confirms the idea that being gay or implying someone is gay is something to get worked up about, and therefore you don't like it.

is that about right?

I can sort of see it but it doesn't sit right.

cause I was having fun with it.

and also because I can't quite grasp the problem with pissing off a group of people by making them get all worked up about something they're bigots for getting worked up about over.

Even though this image meme is obviously tongue in cheek

MORE LIEK TONGUE-IN-BUTTCHEEK AMIRITE???

I don't want my enemies to experience homophobia either

I don't really think they could possibly be any more homophobic than they already are, regardless what we do. If that wasn't the case, I'd grant you the point.
Neither do I expect them to experience any less homophobia whether I'd do this or not.

it's all the lapel pin bullshit. It's superficial - smoke and mirrors. The more we talk about it, even when we satirize it, the more real it becomes, the more easy it is for it to become part of the discussion in the future.

You think? I actually disagree with that, for the reason that topics that are collectively not talked about, are also collectively tolerated. But that's not really relevant here.

Yeah I agree that wasn't cool.

Still was funny. I can find uncool things funny if they happen to really awful people.

Like that animated GIF of that woman that got a watermelon trebucheted in her face, not cool, very funny.

it probably also deterred some women from getting into politics.

so would this deter gays from getting into politics?

are gays even underrepresented in politics? well, openly gays, probably, yeah.


well, now I don't really feel like shooping RICK PERRY IS GAY pics anyway

[even though HE TOTALLY SECRETLY IS and obviously likes to take it up the pooper]







DICKSCLAIMER: The juvenile jokes in this post prevented 77 gays from "entering politics" (*), 9 women felt collaterally threatened and now choose raising kids over a career and no less than 21 traditional role-models are now reinforced with concrete and steel (dicks).
