One of the main reasons why some facets of the American news media are abominable is because they have no standards regarding their personalities. When you hear some of these folks, you wonder just how they got in the door of a major new service, even if its Fox News.
Perfect case in point - Fox News personality Andrea Tantaros. Listen how she reduces the plight of President Obama's transgender former nanny (she is an outcast in her own country) into an attack on the president, making sure to slur the poor woman for good measure:

Did you see this in the article you posted by "Porno" Pete? "LaBarbera claimed that Babeu is gay because he was abused as a child and is “not a natural homosexual but a victim of a homosexual predator.”
ReplyDeleteSo there is such a thing as a "natural homosexual" after all? Someone who is homosexual by nature and not because they've been traumatized? I'd like to hear his explanation of what he meant by that.
I never understood LaBarbera's (and others) line of thinking on this, which is "that because LGBT people were victimized as children, we must work to deny them their rights and work to criminalize them as a class of people."
ReplyDeleteYet they claim to be compassionate christians????!! Am I missing something here?

ReplyDeleteListening to Peter, the full quote is actually, "Now I've said many times: Somebody like that is a victim, they're not a 'natural homosexual', they're a victim of a homosexual predator."
Here's my interpretation: Peter has such a strong belief in homosexuals becoming as such, via molestation by a pedophile, that for him, that's what "natural homosexual" means. This belief is so strong, he believes this is what pro-gays believe.
It's a hell of a thinking process; he's basically telling his audience that, being "natural(ly) homosexual", doesn't mean they are born gay, but they were molested. And he's telling his audience that this is what pro-gays believe and support: You become gay through molestation, and this is fine.
So he's basically hijacking the word, and turning it into a newspeak. There's no such thing as being born gay, it's unheard of to be born gay. The only "natural" way to be gay, is to be molested. And the pro-gays deem this to be "normal".
And just to make himself out to be the "warrior", so to speak, against the "gay agenda", he took his hijacked word, and use the "correct" term: "victim".
So, just through that sentience, he makes the pro-gays seem more like pedophiles, and himself the hero.
...At least that's my interpretation. Sorry if it's hard to follow though, but it's pretty complex, yet quite ingenious, thinking that he has here.
So now the president is responsible for who his nanny was? Next they'll find out that the obstetrician who delivered him was gay or something. Meanwhile, the person who was his nanny suffered a life of isolation and persecution, something no one should have to go through just for being themself. Sad.
