Rachel Maddow Cocktail Moment with Kent Jones - America's Beauty Pageant

[polarbearslovemusic]

I'm eating cereal.

[schlummieleinchen]

I was invited to some sort of "American Values" gathering in the small town where I live. People who attend those are the ones driving Dodge Ram trucks with little stuffed animals everywhere, driving really slow in the fast lane with US flags sticking out of each window.

I right away remembered that I don't live in a trailer park, haven't been to church since my grandpa died, and I have functional male genitalia greeting me with a stiff urge every morning since I was 5. Tea Party? NOT for me!

The "problem" is the same as it was 50 years ago when "Christian" bigots were desperate to keep blacks "in their place". Even the Republican darling Ronald Reagan declared as late as 1964 that he supported white land lords' rights to discriminate against negros who wanted to rent or buy housing. What politician would dare make such a declaration TODAY?

10 years from now the current anti-gay crusade will be a source of shame and embarrassment to the "devout Christians" hailing it today.

The fight against justice is futile. Equality is coming, with or without the blessings of power obsessed narcissists.

[WhiteSandJack]

Carrie's rating is still sky high on HotandCoolSingles . com

[jle714]

You can disagree with her beliefs but the name calling and reverse hatred will not help the gay cause.

[chgosatrap]

She was asked her opinion, she gave it, end of story. She does not make policies.

[thursdaysrecords]

She (Carrie Prejean) made an ass of herself. She didn't become Miss America. She no longer is Miss California. The Miss USA pageant is ashamed of Carrie Prejean's anti-gay mission, and they have put their disappointment in writing.

Miss Prejean is in a woeld of her own. She is an unaccomplished puppet of the right wing ChrisTaliban.

50 years from now, everyone involved in the anti-gay marriage campaign will be as ashamed as today's KKK sympathisers.

[chgosatrap]

Well she is now suing for her crown or her 2 brain cells or something.

She has the right to her opinion, which is what the judge requested. CLUE: she told about the way things worked in her COUNTRY. Like you said, a world of her own.

[oriondg]

@thursdaysrecords Freedom of speech insofar as it doesn't conflict with what you think? She says she supports it, but doesn't believe in it. Same as saying she believes people should be allowed to be atheist, but in her family its straight Christian. Think about it.

[Iceman5110]

Total crap, she is totally entitled to her views and believes!!! Lay off her!

[takashishimasu]

Dumb blonde trash!! This blonde trash shouldn't have won anything but a dildo!!

[mlz777]

rachel maddow is as politically savy as rosie odonnel...they should go get married

[4u2b1ib12]

Most of the contestants have similar features.

Beautiful features, to keep it simple. It seems difficult to have awareness and beauty. I said awareness, not intelligence.  Two different ideas.

Some questions are beyond scope of contestants. Who is a master of everything? I am not defending the contestants. I support each being honest. If they do not know about something, say so. That is the difference, to me. The,"I feel that," confusion makes them look bad. Maybe next year.

[eqsmooth]

Carrie Prejean was NOT put on earth to be smart, debate or speak well. She's here to be a redneck, work out, earn a hard body, get plastic surgery and win! Listen, it was her final answer, she's stickin' to it. I love that she thinks that she is biblically correct. I think she meant hillbilly correct because biblically isn't a word. I want to have an opposite marriage too. Opposite to the ones my married friends have. She's embarrassing but easy on the eyes. Tall, blond, tan, pretty. LAP DANCE!

[commonsense010000]

Marriage is between a man and a woman!

[takashishimasu]

NO!

There are other marriages, for example, a man and a man!

[chgosatrap]

Stop playing the race card. She is NOT like Rosa Parks. sheeeesh.

[3star2nr]

WTF they didnt even ask sarah palin that.

WHY WOULD YOU ASK THESE QUESTIONS????

[chgosatrap]

Yeah, but Palin was a booty pageant girl herself, so maybe they are now vetting pageant girls.

[temequila]

Interesting Fact: Sarah Palin lost her beauty pageant to a black woman.

[chgosatrap]

Yes, I read that a while back. Wonder if Palin is having flashbacks.

[spareaxe]

Wow, miss california..I'm glad she's not a lesbian.

[spliffsperlunk]

A gay man judging a female beauty peagant is like a vegetarian judging a BBQ cook off or plugging a lamp cord into another lamp cord... just stupid..

[bathswife]

Okay, so who do YOU think should judge these women? You are probably going to say heterosexual men which in my view as a heterosexual woman indicates that heterosexual men still judge women on their boobs and butts.

Personally I think they should be judged by other women.

[spliffsperlunk]

Nah you shouldnt have women judging other women , you know how jealous they get if they feel someone is prettier than them, Maybe lesbians since they appreciate the female body.

This perez character is obviously not stable enough to be a judge .

[oriondg]

@bathswife Yet if men hold a strength contest and the winner is the strongest of the bunch, that's fine? Women are naturally more beautiful than men, and I think if we, as humans, take a moment to praise that and appreciate women then we are enriched as a whole.

[oriondg]

@spliffsperlunk Shouldn't it be a mixture of gay and straight males and females? Through consensus, you could truly find the most talented girl.

[thursdaysrecords]

@spliffsperlunk How about....a straight man treating women as sex objects....or

A straight man lusting after "Christian" women parading in bikinis?

Or a straight men receiving unsolicited masturbation videos from a sore loser pagent contestant who is later stripped of her title for doing talk show circuits instead of representing her State as directed by the contract?

Hey, what about lying about your past and thus entering the pageant illegally?

Any of this sound "cool"?

[spliffsperlunk]

@thursdaysrecords how about not being gay and bumping year old threads.. Mkay.

[thursdaysrecords]

@spliffsperlunk How about ANSWERING what other people asked, rather than going on and on with the ignorant rants of a brainwashed fool?

[spliffsperlunk]

@thursdaysrecords Sorry I dont respond to straw man arguments , to the people on topic I've already answered, now quit trolling in year old threads.

[PeterOrszagCallMe]

They shouldn't ask these girls serious questions;

1. Who cares what they think

2. The judges can barely read the questions.

[skydogz1]

Those that have a problem with Carrie Prejean obviously hate themselves.

[CHEKPNT]

who cares it was a question she answered it...who ever came up with the question was setting up a wild attention getter. I wonder if he did it intentionally.

[PeterOrszagCallMe]

Well, beyond what her opinion was, her answer was just rambling and nonsensical.

[bathswife]

This is probably how Sarah Palin got started.

[garthggarth]

What about opposite affairs?

Or people in opposite closets?

Eugghh! Beauty paegent people should probably stick to answering questions about how to Saran wrap thier legs to sweat more water out of them, so they look even more unnatural for their short time in the spotlight. What kind of masochist would put themselves through something like that?

At least football players have team camraderie and are allowed to smash the other team during play! Thier faces must hurt so much.
