--- Quote from: brokeplex on May 01, 2009, 04:49:44 pm ---what is not a surprise is that now Ms Prejean has been made into a spokesperson for hetero only marriage.
and who created her status and usefulness as a spokeperson? - why of course it was the idiot blogger Lavandeira, and his vicious misogynist attacks on her.
curious how the far right Bible thumpers and the idiot left in the gay community feed off each other, one can't fundraise without the other. a kind of sick symbiosis.
but as long as there are deluded people on the left who will reflexively applaud cretins like Lavandeira and angry Bible thumpers on the right who focus their hate on gay people, this silly drama will go on and on.

Who is applauding Perez Hilton? No one on this thread that's for sure. In fact everyone made sre to specify that they disliked the sycophant.
Anyway, BP, you forgot to add : As long as there are loony right-wngers who reflexively defend anyone liberals don't like...

I'm confused here, but I'm old, and old people confuse easily.
Perez Hilton's outburst was NOT caused by the answer that Ms. Prejean gave to that randomly selected question, but Ms. Prejean becoming a save-marriage spokesperson WAS caused by Perez Hilton's outburst?
I thought it was a basic conservative and liberal tenet that we are EACH responsible for our OWN actions.
Why are some people sometimes responsible for other people's actions and sometimes not?

ok, I'll try to explain it the way I see it. Ms Prejean was in a contest where she was asked a question. She did not have an option to not answer the question, it was just one part of the contest...she knew this going in and agreed to it. Mr. Lavandeira asked her a question that he had a personal interest in. She answered it to the best of her ability and according to her own beliefs. HE chose to dock her for her answer and she lost the contest.
the situation should have ended there. Within the context of the contest. She answered, he disapproved and punished her.
It was not enough for Mr. Lavandeira however....he had to attempt to destroy her. He ranted, he raved, he made appearances denouncing her, he made videos and posted them online.
She has a right to be angry.
Her answer was part of a contest (part of her 'job' if you will) and NOT an attempt to personally destroy or impune Mr. Lavandeira.
HE on the other hand made it very personal...he attacked HER.
Clyde-B:
Didn't they both choose their own course of action?
I don't understand blaming Perez Hilton for Prejean's actions and not holding Prejean responsible for Hilton's actions.
Did either force the other to make their responses?
Didn't both have cause to be angry?
Either both of these people are each responsible for their own actions or neither is.

Shouldn't judges be impartial? I don't think Perez Hilton was. I blame the pageant officials.
