HUFFINGTON POST: Lydia Cornell, 'Too Close For Comfort' Star, Backs Gay Marriage

First I have to tell you something my radio co-host Doug Basham said after he saw Katie Couric ask Sarah Palin about gay rights. Palin answered that one of her best friends is gay, and that her pal "made a choice that isn't a choice that I have made.” Basham said, “I wish Couric had asked Palin, 'Do you remember the exact moment you chose to become heterosexual?'"

My sister is gay, and she never made a choice, but that’s beside the point. The marriage contract is a private contract between two individuals. How does it hurt anyone to let two souls honor their monogamy by allowing them the sanctity and dignity of marriage, as other human beings have a right to? Isn’t this in the Bill of Rights? I am heartsick at the bigotry I see in America today. I can’t believe my sister may never have the same rights I have! And furthermore, according to Suze Orman — as it stands now, civil unions do not permit the transfer of a deceased person's estate to the partner. Next of "kin" is first in line.

After my Ann Coulter death threats and hate-mail settled down, one thing became clear: right-wing Christians are obsessed with the sexual immorality of others to the exclusion of any other sin, including their own sins of pride and judgment — which by the way, were the only sins Jesus ever cared about or actually mentioned! Sexual immorality was not even on Christ’s radar, as was clear when the mob was stoning the prostitute: “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

He did condemn divorce, but since divorce is rampant among evangelicals, no one ever sees them picketing courthouses to abolish divorce.

All this talk about Christ’s return and the "Rapture" misses the point entirely. I've prayed about this and been given a revelation of my own: when humans can love each other unconditionally — love their enemies and neighbors as themselves — then the so-called Rapture will happen. It will not be a big Broadway show; it will be a change in consciousness. This is the Second Coming. It will occur in the hearts of men.

The Ku Klux Klan also used the Bible to justify killing Blacks. Where are all the reasonable, sane people of faith who actually follow Christ’s teachings?

Maybe they don't realize that 'Christ' is the root of the word 'Christianity' because the vowel sounds are different! They often espouse the EXACT OPPOSITE of Christ’s teachings. If fundamentalists take the Bible literally, then why don’t they take Christ’s actual words literally?

There's a cartoon I saw shortly after the 2004 election: I can't remember the exact words, but two pot-bellied Rednecks are standing around drinking beer, happy with being red: "Well, my son lost his legs in Iraq, veteran benefits got cut, lost my pension plan to Enron, got laid-off down at the plant, they cancelled my health insurance, Bush vetoed stem cells which would have saved my daughter’s life from brain cancer -- BUT I'M SURE AS HELL GLAD THOSE TWO GAYS DOWN THE STREET CAN'T GET MARRIED!"

We’re a nation ruled by several opposing forces: the atheist, the optimist, the materialist — and of course, the idiot — that person inside all of us (or just fundamentalists and neocons) who choose to remain unconscious.

What is so strange is that modern-day fundamentalists often condone the death penalty quite casually, yet think fetal cells in a Petri dish are too sacred to be used for stem cell research in order to save lives! This seems highly immoral to me.

I can’t imagine what it must be like to be gay or lesbian in America today. There is a “Christian” group that has a website called "Godhatesfags.com" that displays an animated picture of Matthew Shepherd surrounded by flames, burning in hell. Shepherd was brutally murdered in Wyoming, the victim of a hate crime.

Instead of seeing the beauty and unique goodness of the gay person — his artistic gifts of design or dance, the sweetness of his spirit, his yearning to be accepted and to bury the agony of being bullied as a child or of being “born different" — the morally repulsed “Christian” chooses the easy way: hatred.

My son’s best friend and his brother are being raised by a gay male couple, who are scholars and wonderful parents. Both children are completely "straight" and have girlfriends already. The family considered moving to Canada out of fear. They are very afraid of the hateful Christian ruling elite in America. I can’t think of anything more un-Christlike than an intolerant “Christian.”

It saddens me that many in the religious right have taken their obsession with morality and their fear of Hollywood to such an extreme they've lost compassion for their fellow man. They have become homophobic, disdainful of the poor and cruel toward any human who does not meet their rigorous standards — while ignoring their own pride, the character flaw which annoyed Christ the most!

Intolerance is the easy way out, and many will go through this wide, broad gate. Very few will squeeze through the "narrow gate" of turning the other cheek and loving one's enemies. It's easy to judge others from a position of moral superiority; it's difficult to look kindly upon criminals, prisoners, "sinners." It's difficult to love "the other," as Christ commanded us to do. Most fundamentalist right-wing Christians these days refuse to look at their enemy as a whole human being. They are ruled by primitive fears that totally contradict Christ’s entire mission: to love one another for love casts out fear.

Some background: Just after the election in November 2005, I was so upset over the bizarre form of Christianity George Bush espoused in justifying his invasion of Iraq — and so appalled at Ann Coulter calling herself a Christian while engaging in "extermination speak" toward liberals — I wrote an article for BradBlog Death is Sexier than Sex to Ann Coulter I admit the title is provocative but I had no idea what I was getting into. My family and I received the most virulent hate mail and death threats from Ann Coulter fans because of this line in particular: "I never mix religion with politics, but for Christ's sake, don't they know that Jesus was a Democrat? A bleeding heard liberal!? (I think that was the line that annoyed them.

But maybe it was this one from the same article: The Great Peacemaker was the very essence of love and compassion; he was revolutionary in his softness and forbade vengeance of any kind. How the "Christian right" has twisted The Great Peacemaker's teachings is one of the riddles of our times. For years I’ve been bewildered to the point of jaw-gnashing agony at how fundamentalist Christians can call themselves Christian, when they do not follow the teachings of Christ! Are they reading the same bible I'm reading? I feel I’m going insane. How the Christian right has twisted Christ's peaceful message is one of the riddles of our times..."

There is such a hunger for a fresh, inclusive, non-fundamentalist Christianity — the kind Christ intended. Unless you are an alarmist, Premillenialist or Dominionist who believes in the end-times, the Rapture or the Apocalypse — you have no right to call yourself a Christian anymore. Where are all the reasonable, sane people of faith who actually follow Christ’s teachings? If fundamentalists take the Bible literally, then why don’t they take Christ’s actual words literally — instead of reading that tribulation porn known as the La Haye- Jenkins "Left Behind" books? It bears repeating: maybe they don't realize that Christ is the root of the word Christianity because the vowel sounds are different!


On the night of November 5 we saw at least nine helicopters circling over our city. We thought it was another SWAT team lock-down, which happens at times in our residential neighborhood. Two weeks ago the police put blockades up and wouldn't allow anyone to leave their homes because an armed robber was hiding in someone's back yard.

This time it was one of the biggest civil rights protest in years: the Proposition 8 Gay Marriage ban. Protestors were marching down Santa Monica to Wilshire in Beverly Hills — to the corner where Trader Vics used to be, inside Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton.

Though we live on a tree-lined street far from the action, the kids climbed on the roof to see if they could catch a glimpse of some fighting. My youngest has a new BB gun (environmentally friendly) and thought he was in a video game "Resistance 2." I am excited to show my kids that actual protest marches are still happening these days — and that civil rights are something to fight for.

The core of Christ’s teaching is: ‘Love one another' and leave judgment and vengeance to God.”
In fact, the main thing he warned about was the self-righteous pride, arrogance and intolerance of the religious leaders (the pharisees) — because these meant “unkindness or lack of compassion.” These people were truly a destructive force in society for they cared more about style over substance — rituals, rules and dogma over the spirit of compassion or love.

But man’s big job on earth is to learn the law of love, the Golden Rule. To love the unlovable, no matter how disgusted, offended or persecuted one is by him. A soft answer turns away wrath. It's easy to be loving to those who are loving to you, but a true Christian must go much further and return love for hate.

Jesus was the Prince of Peace. His entire ministry was spent caring for the poor, the lepers (today’s Aids victims), the immoral "sinners", prostitutes, outcasts, prisoners and forgotten ones whom the religious leaders thought were too dirty to touch. By accepting them and with love and compassion — not by moralizing or ostracizing them — they became whole. No matter what our religious beliefs, it's our job as a society to care for the poor, the "least among us."

Oddly, Christian evangelicals threw out the whole of Christ’s teaching, in order to focus on the “frightening” sins of homosexuality and abortion, which Christ never once mentioned!

Get this: Ann Coulter gleefully promoted the death penalty, even for 4-year-old boy who killed his brother. “Once a child commits a crime like that, what are the odds that he could be redeemed in any event, no matter where he’s put?” It’s hard to comment on a quote like this. (Did you really say that Ann?)

Jesus himself didn’t judge others, he spoke gently in parables. He attracted people to him with his revolutionary softness, never by force, aggression. The crowd wanted to stone the adulterer, but Jesus’ heart was so big, he healed her of her “sin” and guilt simply by his love and acceptance. Everyone is redeemable (even William Ayers!) The divine idea that you win your enemies to your side by making them you friend, never by fighting them — actually works.

***
A young girl of 14 was kicked out of her Christian school for having two lesbians as parents. These were the only parents the girl had ever known. The two women had been partners for 22 years and had 2 other children; they were a loving, stable Christian family, so utterly non-controversial that no one even knew they were “different.”

This cruel ostracism is in direct opposition to Christ’s teachings: to punish a child and take her away from her friends – because one doesn’t approve of her parents' genetic orientation — is not what Jesus would do. In fact, it is destructive to the child and morally reprehensible. I wonder what they do in the case of a divorced couple or a single mother who had a child out of wedlock. After pride, Jesus mentioned only one other sin: divorce. Jesus never once referred to homosexuality. But divorce was truly destructive to the child.

Letter to the School Principal

"The Bible has been used to justify slavery, inquisitions, apartheid and the subjugation of women. Just as slavery was condoned for centuries based on people's interpretation of the Bible, just as the Crusades were fought in the name of God, just as Christ was crucified because people misunderstood Him and misinterpreted the Scripture, so too the topic of homosexuality has been misunderstood. It is now time to raise a voice, an Angelic choir, and a national outcry against Christian intolerance that promotes condemnation, discrimination and hatred toward homosexuals.

Please explain how your actions differ from the Pharisees or Nazis? These two groups wanted to exclude others and wanted to exercise absolute power over others as well. They wanted to stone and gas those who they feared and were different, I guess you only what them removed. Well feel proud Mr. Stob, you are as benighted and in good company as Fred Phelps, and the pastor who resigned after he kicked people out of his church who did not vote Republican."


Looking more deeply into the school’s reasoning, it is clear they were motivated by fear — fear that other students would be tainted by the school’s validation of a lesbian couple. But why were they so afraid? Maybe she was expelled to protect a fundamentalist worldview that children of gays cannot grow up ‘straight or moral’. In this line of thinking, if fundamentalists’ children go to school with a normal, well-adjusted child of two lesbians — it will be difficult to brainwash the students that lesbians can’t raise a child well.

But all we’re dealing with is fear. The Bible says, “Perfect love casts out fear.” Fear itself is not from God, and good Christians should never make decisions based on fear (as in ‘preemptive strike’) because “Love casts out fear.” We should first look “to do no harm.” We should always try to do the kindest thing, the least hurtful thing.

More than any other virtue, Jesus pleaded with us to love one another. If you think you're supposed to go into the world and spread the Gospel without bringing the love required, then it's pointless. The entire message is about love. Love heals all wounds.

That doesn’t mean we are never to reprimand a violent or immoral act. But we are to “hate the sin and love the sinner.” The sin in this case is not the existence of the girl’s female parents. The sin is the behavior of the school board, who imagined a sinful lifestyle, and judged people who were just trying to get through the day. Life is hard enough without adding to each other’s suffering.

Jesus also did not say: “Blessed are the warmakers.” and “If you suspect someone is going to attack you, invade his country and bomb him back to the Stone Age.” These warmongering right-wingers are behaving in absolutely un-Christlike ways. They have corrupted Christianity and usurped it for their own militant, belligerent agenda.

We will never understand everything others do but taking away others' rights is not our business. Our business is to to embrace our differences, and “leave judgment and vengeance to God.”

Liberal-bashing radio hosts and pastors are committing moral crimes by telling their flock that it’s their patriotic duty to hate others whose beliefs and appearance are different. This resulted in the recent killings in the Unitarian Church in Tennessee. This is what many modern churches do: target people they disapprove of by selecting one or two sins they believe belong to that group, and make their lives a living hell. And they receive tax-free funds to do it!

Fighting and disapproving of one’s enemies” is not the Way; it is in direct opposition to Christ’s teachings. It’s too easy to hate, too mainstream; everyone can fit through this broad, wide gate.

But the narrow gate Jesus says we must pass through to attain union with God or Love, involves “loving our enemies”. It’s so simple, it’s hidden in plain sight, like an anagram: Look at the sentence above: “Since God is love, to attain union with God, we must LOVE!” This is simple, but not easy. It’s much easier to gossip, demonize liberals, exclude gays, and ostracize prisoners — who are most in need of redemption.

This is very difficult, especially if you equate your enemy as a homosexual, and you blame homosexuals or liberals for the evils of the world. Anger feels good. It feels good to be morally superior to others. Religious fundamentalists justify their judgment of gays by scouring the bible for one remote mention of homosexuality as a sin. This occurs in the New Testament by the Apostle Paul, long after Jesus died.

They cling to this, saying the sin of homosexuality (and abortion) is worse than any other sin, even murder. But why? Why do they fixate on sexual immorality? Because they themselves must be guilty of prurient sexual thoughts; puritans who are ashamed of human sexuality. I too am horrified by the increasingly pornographic world we live in, and especially the effect it has on our children. I want stricter Internet controls, and frankly, I wish porn wasn’t so available on the Internet at all.

But there is also a spiritual answer here. We are “fighting our enemies” by focusing so much on the lascivious aspects of our society, giving attention and power to this element. In fact, the solution is NOT giving evil so much attention. I know that when I focus on the good in others, the good increases.

The more one pushes something down, the more it rears its ugly head in inappropriate places; perversions appear. This explains why celibacy in priests acts like a pressure cooker, often resulting in crimes of molestation. Celibacy is unnatural; too much pent up desire perverts itself. Like Pandora’s box, whatever is taboo becomes irresistibly tempting. People will sneak out of their cages to experience the forbidden.

So the Puritan, guilt-ridden over his own uncontrollable urges, cannot live with himself. Unable to cut out his own filthy thoughts, he looks outside himself for someone to blame and project his guilt onto. The easiest way to ameliorate his shame is to broadcast the evil, project it onto others where he can see it – and lash at it with swords. This way he can feel morally superior and “religious”; it’s a quick fix. He investigates it, dwells on its dark side, inflates its evil effects until evil is all he sees. Hence the homosexual is no longer a human, but an object of disgust.

___________________

As a culture we put so much emphasis on the body: on cellular substance of the fetus, the death and burial of a corpse, the saving of an unconscious sack of flesh that contains no life force or spirit, as in the case of Terry Shiavo. We are focused so exclusively on the letter, not the spirit; the style, not the substance; the right hat, not the heart, the ritual, not the meaning — and the flesh which can be wiped out so easily — that it must make me wonder: is flesh man’s most important quality?

At the risk of sounding like a crackpot, I have to say here that I no longer believe in the physical universe as being primary, or that important. In other words, the things I know are valuable and real are the things I can’t see with my eyes – the invisible qualities of love, truth, wisdom, soul, principle, thought, harmony, wisdom, compassion, beauty, strength and character – things that cannot be physically touched or scientifically proven.

As Emerson said: "this is a spiritual universe and thoughts rule the world."

    New Hampshire Becomes First State Senate with Female Majority:

    History was made in New Hampshire on Tuesday as New Hampshire’s state senate became the first state legislative body in US history with a female majority. Thirteen of the state’s twenty-four senators are now women.

    Historic change and as a father with two daughters, change we need in this country where women are actually the true majority.

    I went back about 3 months, Bartlebee. Here are some posts that you'll probably like; "Bolshevik Nation" (11/6, supports Obama), "A Fading Brand" (10/18, criticizes McCain), blah blah blah blah blah blah blah



    I didn't ask for your "opinion" on whether your comments supported Obama.

    I asked you to post 3 comments that supported Obama in the last 3 months.

    Just 3.

    And you still have not done that.

    Just a lot of talk, CLAIMING things for some reason you cannot seem to prove.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Considering you went to all the trouble to go through all those comments, IF they truly DID support Obama, you'd think you'd post them.

    Post 3, and then we'll all see your support for Barack Obama for President.

    Or you can just "claim" you did some more.

    Dotting the I, Crossing (Moving) the Muslim
    Barack Obama's most ardent supporters are always quick to point out that their candidate is a new breed of politician, that he goes about his business differently, less partisanly (post-partisan, I believe is the term that they use), etc.. And, yes, in many ways the guy truly has been a breath of fresh air (in an inspirational sense, at the very least). But, I'm also telling you, folks, so, too, have I seen some confounding evidence here/things that lead me to believe that, yes, he is in fact quite typical; his move to the center once he got the nomination, his decision not to go with public financing, stuff like that...................................................Of course, if you're bound and determined not to believe me/continue to think that this young man is a heroic figure, then what about this? Remember when Obama was about to give a speech, and his handlers saw those two Muslim women in scarves seated behind him, and how, before the speech got started/the television cameras started to roll, those two women were asked to move? Yeah?......................................................I mean, talk about acting out of PURE political expediency, accepting the roll of a typical politician, etc.. I think it was that that cued it for me, folks/led me to believe that Barack Obama is in fact quite typical, after all......................................................P.S. Not that this was a bad "strategic" move to make. This, I'm saying, in that it probably would have looked bad to have the candidate being in such a close proximity to Muslim looking individuals. My only beef is that it wasn't in any way a new/courageous way of dealing with the problem (not to imply that Muslim-Americans are necessarily/inherently a "problem", of course). That's all. "

  24. Theres a difference between SAYING you support someone and actually doing so..........just like when Volt says "he's" not saying Obama is a muslum or a terrorist or anti american........but then says many others have said that and made the case and he does pal around with rev Wright and Bill Ayers and there are best selling books that make the case that he's a muslum and pals around with terrorists, and he's the most liberal in the Senate and supports Bush's FISA spying and socialism etc..... \blah .....blah blah.............thats the kind of crap Voltron and Will post

    I may believe Will isnt a Neo Con and didnt support the war........but he is a troll and NO supporter of Obama would be bringing up things like that when a new president is just elected in a time of national crisis if they truly supported that person and had an open mind.............many staunch repugs sounded more supportive and magnasnimous than Will the troll.

To be honest with you, I have neither the time nor patience to sort through the blogs again. If you want to believe me, Will said previously he was going to vote for Obama.

  89. See will, I can't help but notice that in all your dozens of ranting claims of posts supporting Obama, you've yet to actually post one.

    Much less the 3 I asked for.

    Oh sure you claimed you had some, but you've yet to simply post them.

    Just like your newfound friend, MCH, who likewise came in claiming to have "researched" your comments over the last few months and found that they do support Obama, yet for some reason, cannot seem to produce just 3 of them for the rest of us to see.

    :|

    Rather than spending 3 dozen comments claiming that you've found comments of yours that support Obama, why not just make one comment, reposting 2 or 3 of those comments?

    Why talk about them?

    Why not just repost them?

    ReplyDelete
  90. And as for "moving the goalposts", you're lying.

    And when you lie like that you just further reinforce your true nature.

    I originally asked you to post 3 comments of yours that supported Obama, and I have been consistent with that request throughout the evening.

    So you are lying when you try to obscure your inability to do this by claiming you provided information and then I moved the goal posts.

    I asked for 3 comments that you made that supported Obama, and you've yet to produce even one.

    Fascinating.

    First off, as I said I have neither the time nor inclination to go hunting through the blog posts yet again. I satisfied my own curiosity which was the reason I went looking in the first place. Again, if you're so obsessed abut it, I invite you to look yourself. Will gave you a headstart on where to look.


    Second off, Will and I are not "new found friends". We voted for the same guy. I thanked him for his vote. As much as I would like to claim all 65 millions people who voted for Barack as friends, Lord knows I can't. However, I can treat people with respect, agree to disagree on certain issues, and focus in on things we do share in common. In case you haven't noticed, that's going to be an underlying theme in Barack's presidency. For that matter, it's been a major theme in all of Lydia's blog posts. Truth be told, I've emailed Voltron a couple of times privately and he's responded. We now hold a certain amount of respect with each other and, in case you havent noticed, we dont attack or insult each other anymore.

    There are a lot of problems in this country and the world as a whole and a lot of it stems from the fact that people are determined to hate each other. I say "Enough!" Perhaps I cant change the world or even the country by myself but then again, I didnt elect Obama by myself either. It took an awful lot of us working together to get the job done. The same is going to be true with easing the hatred. We need to stop it if we're going make the world a better place and of the places to begin is here. Personally, I would prefer that Lydia's blog be as lovely and beautiful as she is.

    What do you say, Bart? Want to help me out on this?

    ReplyDelete
  92. And Clif, his accusations are getting very Kafkaesque. At first he said I was a closet right-winger pretending to be a moderate. When I blew that one out of the water (12 months of left of center posting prior to ever "meeting" him), he started with "he's a flip-flopper". When he didn't get any traction with that, it was attention I was looking for. I don't know, I just think that Clif likes to argue/demonize.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Man, you are lazy, Bartlebee. And now you're calling mch ( a strong Obama supporter, no less) a liar, too. I know I've said this before but, Obama, he's a decent guy and I think that he'd be horrified by what's been going on in his name over here; the tone, the over the top statements, everything. I'll get you some direct quotes from those posts, buddy. But I know what you're going to say. You're going to say that I just made them up - to which yo would have to go to my blog anyway to verify them. Man, oh man, the high cost of dealing with paranoids.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Just for the record, Barack Obama won this election because of people just like me - swing voters who didn't feel comfortable with McCain's foreign policy and who were frightened by the prospect of a President Palin. You really shouldn't go out of your way to alienate this voting block.

    Really?

    So for you, like Will, when I asked for 3 comments of Will's supporting Obama, you felt it was easier for you to "go hunting through the blog posts" for comments supporting Obama made by will, and then come back and spend dozens of comments CLAIMING you "found some", rather than simply cutting and pasting the comments for all to see?

    Fascinating is right.

  98. Most "normal" people would simply repost the comments, rather than CLAIMING TO HAVE SEEN THEM.

    But not you and Will, no sir.

  99. dozens? over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over....?


    Hyperbolize much, do you? Or is math just not your strong suit?

    Either way, I just havent had the time -- or inclination -- to look through the blogs again. Dont have time right now either as Im going to my son's guitar recital (I'll tell him you wish him luck). However, if it means so much to you that I prove myself for some reason, then yes I will look through the old blog posts later this evening and post a few of Will's quotes.

    Somehow, I would think you'd be happier that Will contributed to the cause. And no response to my little musings about respect? AT least Will picked up on it.

    ReplyDelete
  100. That's right MCH.

    Try to further bury your lie by trying to focus on my comment, instead of the 3 comments you were supposed to produce.

    I asked you for 3 comments. Just THREE.

    THREE comments that showed Will supporting Obama.

    And you went off and "researched" those comments, then came back in, CLAIMING to have "SEEN THEM", but mysteriously didn't bother to actually POST them.

    ReplyDelete
  101. And as for the Hyperbole?

    Ever since you opened your big fat mouth, and tried to claim you had "researched the comments" and found that Will "did support Obama", you've YET TO PRODUCE THEM!!!


    Produce them slimeball, or crawl back into your hole with Will.

    Whence you came.

  102. I asked for 3 comments yesterday that showed Will supported Obama.

    Just 3.


    Then Will went off, claimed to have poured through the comments, and came back claiming to have found several.

    Unfortunately for Will, he neglected to actually bring those comments with him.

    Then you go and do the EXACT SAME THING.

    CLAIM to have "researched the comments and found them", but yet for some reason, here you are lecturing me on hyperbole and making excuses.

    But no comments.

    Not 3.

    Claim to have found a quote or reference that supports whatever bullshits coming from your keyboard, but never actually PRODUCING the quote.

    When you can stop with your whining, and start producing the actual comments I asked for over 200 comments ago, then we'll see.

    But not until you produce the comments you "claim" to have located.

    So we're to believe, that you just got "really bored", and decided to "research through old blog posts", to see if there were any comments of Wills that supported Obama, then FOUND THEM, but FAILED to bother to actually post them?

    In case you didn't notice, liars like you lost on Tuesday MCH.

    Now we're back in the real world, where you know... facts and shit.... sway the day.

    I went back about 3 months, Bartlebee. Here are some posts that you'll probably like; "Bolshevik Nation" (11/6, supports Obama), "A Fading Brand" (10/18, criticizes McCain),...



    See, like you, Will claims to have "went back about 3 months", searching for comments of his that actually supported Obama.

    He even goes as far as to post the titles of the threads they supposedly reside under, and even DATES the threads.

    But for some....."mysterious" reason....he, ...like YOU.....didn't bother to simply copy the comments.

    :|

    He, like you, went to ALL THAT TROUBLE to FIND THEM, then LEFT THEM THERE.

    Left them there, and came back claiming, "EUREKA I'VE FOUND THEM!".

    :|

    If you had found them, then there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER why you wouldn't bother to produce them.

    :|

    Unless they didn't say what you claimed they said.

    ReplyDelete
  109. When you and your new friend Will can produce just 3 simple comments from THIS blog, where he clearly supported Barack Obama (not just said something nice about him), then we'll see.

    Until then, you're both just a couple of bags of hot air.

    Making claims about proof and evidence that you simply cannot produce.

  110. MCH the liar lied....

    I satisfied my own curiosity which was the reason I went looking in the first place.

    No you didn't.

    If you were merely satisfying your "own curiosity" then why did you come in after doing it declaring your findings to everyone?

    If it was as you now try to claim, for merely your "own" curiosity, then you wouldn't have proclaimed that you'd resolved the issue, as you tried to do here.

  113. Two days ago I asked for just THREE simple comments showing clear support for Obama in the last three months, from THIS blog.

    Since I asked, I've had Will claim to have found them, then never producing them.

    I've had MCH come in and proclaim he's found them, yet likewise failed to actually produce them.

    And now, in comes VOLTRON, the lying troll who claims a win for Obama is a win for ISLAMIC TERRORISM, to likewise try and defend him. And he too posts comments that do not clearly support Obama for President, but are STILL NOT FROM THIS BLOG!!!

    So what have we learned?

    We've learned MCH, and Voltron, for some reason feel compelled to spend countless keystrokes positioning Will as a "Obama Supporter".

    Wonder why'd they want to do that?

  114. And we also learned that neither Will, his new friend and defender MCH, and now his new NEW friend and defender DOLTRON,can produce just 3 simple comments of Will's, supporting Barack Obama for President from the blog.

    Kudos to Barack Obama, ladies and gentlemen. Seriously, did you see that comment he made today on the Palin rumor (the Governor's daughter being the actual mother of the Down's Syndrome child)? Damned if he isn't a classy guy, saying that we should leave the families out of it/not give creedence to such ludicrous bull-shit. If I end up voting for Obama with any degree of enthusiasm this fall, what he said today will be the reason for it. Well done, Barack.

  116. Its also noteworthy albeit inconclusive, that Voltron, for some reason "answered" for MCH.

    I was talking to MCH, but Voltron responded.

    So while we didn't learn anything from that, we did gain a new question.


    Did;

    A. Voltron suddenly feel compelled to help MCH position Will as an Obama supporter?

  123. And here folks. Remember in Sunday School they taught you the Devil speaks in "half truths"?

    Lets look at our friend, DOLTRONS, post where he claims Will is clearly supporting Obama.

    But lets look at the WHOLE post, in its ENTIRETY (LIKE I ASKED FOR).

    Lets look at the part.....Dolty LEFT OUT.

    Doltron posted this a few minutes ago as one of the comments where Will supposedly 'clearly supports Obama for President'.

    Voltron said...
    John McCain is wrong about the Iraq War (the main reason I am voting against him). He is wrong about Iran. And, yes, his flip-flops on a number of issues (tax-cuts, immigration, embracing Falwell and company) have indeed become a troubling thing....

    By Blogger Will "take no prisoners" Hart, at 8:23 PM




    But lets look at the rest of the comment by Will. Lets look at what he was REALLY saying.





    But, really, the post I just read here is border-line character-assasination. What's your source that McCain gave up valuable information to the enemy? From what I know, the man could have left the prison earlier but didn't. He stayed with his comrades. And even if he did give up a bean or two, they broke his frigging arms repeatedly!!! I wonder, how long would it have taken Al Franken (who is funny, I admit) and Randi Rhodes to capitulate. Christ, they probably would have spilled the entire kettle of beans at the mere sight of an inquisitor. And you're criticizing John McCain for adultery? That is pretty ballsy, especially when you Bubba nad Jesse Jackson doing essentially the same and more!! Come on, why don't we just stay on the issues, huh?

    By Will "take no prisoners" Hart, at 8:23 PM



    :|

    So we see, when we post the complete comment by Will, he's actually defending John McCain.

    Which definately disqualifies that comment as "clear support for Obama for President".

    And of course in the second one, he says "IF" I vote for him. Which also disqualifies that comment as "CLEAR" support for Barack Obama for President.

  124. Voltron said...

    He said IF.

    Its GRAY at best. He doesn't say he is voting for him. He simply leaves it open.

    Show me where he says he is supporting Obama for President.

    You've yet to produce one comment, where he CLEARLY SHOWS SUPPORT FOR OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.

    he NEVER backs up what he says with truth and facts and is the KING of straw men and double standards and hippocrissy

  130. I am fairly confident Will did not Vote for Barack Obama.

    If he did, then great.

    But in THIS blog, he didn't show that support, or at least I didn't see it.

    And I'm happy to acknowledge that I may have not seen it.

    Which is why for the past 2 days I've given him, then MCH, and now you too (for reasons yet to be determined) the opportunity to produce just 3 simple comments prior to the elections, that showed his clear support for Obama.


    If he did show his clear support for Obama then surely thats an easy thing to do.

    Just show me 3 comments, where Will showed his support for Barack Obama, and we'll all see how we all overlooked his devotion to the new President.

    But in lieu of that, we are left to assume that he's either like Michelle Bachman and Joe Lieberman and suddenly jumping on the bandwagon AFTER he won.

    When you, (Doltron), MCH or your new pal Will, can show me just three simple comments from this blog, by Will that clearly and unambiguosly support Barack Obama for President, then we'll revisit it.

    Until then, your hyperbole and red herrings are just that.

    You'll note at the time of this challenge you didn't specify that they only come from THIS blog.


    You'll note thats not when I made the challenge.

    The challenge had already been articulated a day earlier when MCH came in and accepted it.

    The terms had already been spelled out.

  137. Time for you to step up to the plate, Bart. I think we can all agree that you are, by far, the most vocal and loud critic on this blog of the Bush Administration and the McCain campaign.

    Now Lydia and I are both on the record as having volunteered for the Obama campaign ... phone banking, door canvassing, data entry, etc... What did you do, Bart? How many doors did you knock on? How many potential volunteers did you call? How many Obama supporters did you identify for the Get Out The Vote portion of the campaign? What role did you play in getting Obama elected?

    ReplyDelete
  138. Here Voltron.

    More proof of your either being ignorant or a liar.

    HERE is the FIRST TIME the challenge was made.

    Read it and weep.

    Please provide the comments you posted in here supporting Kerry.

    Please provide the comments you made opposing the war.

    :|

    I'll be waiting here tending to my paranoid asshole.

    9:11 PM



    That was the FIRST time the challenge was made, and it regarded Kerry and the war.

    THEN, the topic shifted to support for Obama, since Will apparently wasn't in the blog when Kerry was elected.

    Will "take no prisoners" Hart said...

    Read the old postings on MY blog, ass-hole


    No, I'd rather read your posting in THIS blog where you spoke out against the war, or supported Barack Obama.



    So we see, I made it clear from the FIRST that I wanted just 3 simple comments from THIS blog.

    As I so clearly articulated.

    Yet both Will, then MCH, and now you have accused me of "MOVING THE GOAL POSTS".

    Showing either you're all three three liars...... or you're all three one liar.

    Please check one of the above.

    It will be my turn to step up to the plate once YOU'VE stepped up to the plate.

    I am still waiting for the 3 comments I originally asked for showing Wills support for Obama for President.

    You know...the three comments you claimed yesterday to have found.

  140. Found after "getting bored and researching old blog posts", yet for some reason, never thought to bother to copy said comments.

    Just like Will claimed.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Nope, Im done looking for Obama voters. I spent 2 months doing it -- giving up my weekends and evenings by knocking on doors, phone banking, and data entry. We won and my job is over.

    How many hours did you spend, Bart? How many doors? How many phone calls?

    Or are you one of these people who's just content to sit on their asses and whine about the state of things without actually trying to do something about it?

    Ok, guys, i was really bored and decided to do a bit of research through old blog posts. I hate to say this but Will "TNP" Hart is right -- he's been on the Obama side.



    And you did this in response to my challenge to Will to provide 3 comments from this blog, that showed his support for Obama.

    Because in your "CLAIM" above in response to my challenge, you, like WIll, failed to actually provide said comments.

    So you can tap dance all you want, but the challenge to provide just 3 simple comments supporting Obama for President, by Will, has not been met, and YOUR claims that YOU FOUND SAID COMMENTS, have been proven to be a LIE.

    ReplyDelete
  143. And all your obvious attempts to now turn YOUR FAILURE TO PRODUCE THE COMMENTS YOU CLAIMED TO FIND, into a challenge to me about what activities I may or may not have engaged in, is the sure TELL of a man who's been caught lying.

    You can't produce what you CLAIMED to have found.

    You spent the last two days lying about it, claiming I "moved goal posts", didn't say this or that, etc, all of which was proven false.

    And now you're trying to wiggle out of it, by asking me what I did.

    What I did or did not do is not the topic here, nor will it be until you make good on your claims to have found proof that Will supported Obama.

    When YOU put up, then I'll consider your questions.

    And not a minute earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  144. In other words, you didnt do a damn thing.

    Sorry, Bart, I already looked and satisfied my curiosity. As I said, Im done looking for Obama voters and/or supporters. Im no longer curious about Will and his political affiliations.

    And I invited you numerous times to do the looking yourself .. however, you've decided you're just going to be lazy and have me do the work for you instead. Sorry, Bart, but I did my bit for the cause already. I did the work you should have been doing.

    So tell you what, you just sit behind your keyboard and keep yapping and whining and complaining and bitching and name-calling and accusing and crying while the rest of us fix the mess this country is in.

    I devoted my time to the campaign because Obama is worth it. Im not devoting it to you because you're not.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Besided, anyone can "claim" to have done anything outside of this blog and there'd be no verification whatsoever.

    You CLAIM to have made all these calls and such, but what proof do you have?

    Thats why I hold people to what they actually WRITE in here, because its the only actual, demonstrable benchmark we have.

    Your "claims" are nothing more than that.

    Claims that cannot be demonstrated.

    I didn't ask you to devote shit little man.

    You're the one who shot off your mouth claiming you'd found Wills comments supporting Obama.

    And then failed to post them.

    I merely asked you to provide evidence of that claim.

  147. Which you have been UNABLE TO DO.

  148. If you don't wish to provide evidence of your bullshit claims, then fine.

    We'll all accept them as bullshit and move on.

    But don't come running your big fat mouth to me claiming to have found the evidence I asked Will for without bothering to SHOW that evidence.

    ReplyDelete
  149. For that matter, let's try to prove your claims. According to you, Ive claimed dozens of times that Will voted for Obama.

    Post them. Should be easy to find, they were all in this blog and the last. "Dozens" implies more than 1 so that would suggest I posted at least 24 times that Will voted for Obama.

    Also, according to you I said you "moved the goalposts". Find 1 instance where I said that.

    Or are you going to admit to being a liar?

    ReplyDelete
  150. Fact is, you were just confused and attributed Voltron's comment to me.

    So are you willing to admit that you made a mistake? Or are you just like George W Bush and refuse to admit such a thing?

    and this : "came "back" to give Bartlebee some information (which, of course, he discarded and moved the goal-posta again) but whatever."\

  163. Fine, Barty-Boy. Here are the two that Voltron posted:

    http://www.lydiacornell.com/2008/08/pale-and-palin-dueling-victims.html

    Kudos to Barack Obama, ladies and gentlemen. Seriously, did you see that comment he made today on the Palin rumor (the Governor's daughter being the actual mother of the Down's Syndrome child)? Damned if he isn't a classy guy, saying that we should leave the families out of it/not give creedence to such ludicrous bull-shit. If I end up voting for Obama with any degree of enthusiasm this fall, what he said today will be the reason for it. Well done, Barack.

    http://www.lydiacornell.com/2008/04/two-faces-of-deceiver.html

    John McCain is wrong about the Iraq War (the main reason I am voting against him). He is wrong about Iran. And, yes, his flip-flops on a number of issues (tax-cuts, immigration, embracing Falwell and company) have indeed become a troubling thing....

    By Blogger Will "take no prisoners" Hart, at 8:23 PM


    and one more for good measure I voted for Obama. I just did it with considerably less enthusiasm than you guys did. Why not McCain? 2 reasons. 1)I find his foreign policy far too bellicose. We can't bludgeon our way out of every difficult scenario. And 2)Palin. While I clearly don't detest her like you guys apparently do, she's far, far from a heavy-hitter. And with McCain being 72 and a cancer survivor, couldn't risk it."


    Are you happy now?

    ReplyDelete
  164. Now then ... about your volunteer work?

    ReplyDelete
  165. I already discredited one because the of those completely, and the other one is vague at best, as is yours.

    None of them show clear support for Obama for President, so reposting Voltrons crap doesn't work.

    And that 3rd one, the one you posted for "good measure" you failed to provide a link to or the thread its in, so how do I know where you got it.

    Also that third one doesn't necessarily support Obama. It just shows his, like so many repuggies, dissatisfaction with McCain.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Reposting what Voltron already posted and was shot down on, doesn't cut it.

    ReplyDelete
  167. The one comment goes on to support McCain, not Obama.

    The one with the "IF" vote is grey at best.

    And yours only indicates dissatisfaction with McCain, which many republicans felt.

    None of them show Will as the "Liberal" he claims to be on his site and none of them show clear support for Barack Obama.

    I would like to see a link to your third comment though. The one you "threw in for good measure".

    A link or the name of the thread its under.

  168. I haven't read that one yet, so I will be happy to review it and consider it.

    ReplyDelete
  169. And as for "my support", I'm not a democrat, as I've stated for the last 5 years in this blog, and as everyone knows.

    I have however donated THOUSANDS to various democrat campaigns, including Wesely Clark in 2004, Kerry, Joe Biden (in the primaries) and 1700 dollars to Obama for the General election.

    I also made phone calls from home for several nights before the election this year, and have spoken out for him and Kerry in 04 (which created a rift in my family thats never healed) and spent 5 solid years blogging for liberal and progressive causes in multiple blogs, websites, etc.

    I've done my part to help a candidate get elected thats not even in my party, but unlike you, I don't go around BRAGGING about it.

    And while we're at it, I never asked you what YOU have done.

    I simply asked you to back up your words.

    But instead you spent the day trying to detract and obscure, instead of fulfilling the promise you made last night.

    Only after hours of arguing and dozens of posts did you bother to even post anything, and then you took two comments already disputed posted by Voltron, and one comment you for some reason didn't want to post the source of.

    Well, I'm waiting.
