  • either regarding or disregarding the stalking of gays and lesbians by public officials, mr. cooper seems to stand in serious need of medical attention psychologically. the man is clearly deranged.

  • What a fucktard! But then again this state is messed up it is legal to deny employment and housing legally to GLBT people! I have friends that have been turned down a place to live because there a gay couple! Its things like this that make it so difficult for GLBT to live there lives! What does it matter who we love or what we do! ITS OUR RIGHT AS AMERICAN CITIZENS... *UGH DISGUSTED*

  • Go Anderson!

  • look at the tea party, this is not america any more, why is it in america, when you become anti establishment, your labled as a terrorist, think about it. it's not conspiracy. it's fact. they just called the occupiers terrorists not too long ago, but when you question it, they tell you to shut the hell up, cnn your crap. fox. your crap. ron paul is the true choice in 2012, i support anything anti big government, that means the tea party and occupy wall street.

  • no one watches establishment media any more, i wanna see more ron paul, you guys ignore him like you do on fox, your afraid of the truth, hermain cain is finished, so is romney, he is done too, you people support these illuminati shills, these builderberg shills, you guys refuse to give ron paul his moment in the sun because he offers true change unlike obama and the rest of the dems and republicans, we are a two party dictatorship, don't believe me, look at occupy wall street,

  • what a weirdo

  • xDDDDDD this is hilarious!!!

  • He's just not into you, give it up

  • Is this guy maybe somewhere on the Autism spectrum? His affect seems really off, his language stilted and his eye usage and body language make me wonder about this.

    Then again, maybe he just needs to get fucked and loosen up that tight ass...

  • @dharmapupil Who wants to fuck him? ew

  • this guy needs a bat to the head

  • LOL.... nice... Does anyone really watch CNN anymore?

  • poor guy...he's short a few chromosomes.

  • That's the republican way of "defining your opponent".

    You go after the family, his friends, employers, employers

    of friends, video his house. Yes sir, this young republican

    red blooded Merkin heterosexual HAS A FUTURE IN

    THE TEA BIRCHER PARTY. He has the right to be

    obsessed with Chris Armstrong *in a non-sexual way*,

    of course.-) Is this guy expressing some kind of

    religious orthodoxy that gives him the right, nay,

    the duty as an upholder of "THE LAW" to do this crap?

    Yes he is.

  • Woah... did anyone else notice that at one point this guy accidentally calls Anderson Cooper "Chris"? This guy is clearly mentally ill.

  • Hmmm. so what ever became of this closeted demented cunt Shirvell?

    Nothing? Still has his job?? Will probably become DA one day soon??

    Thanks to the current DA that's all true... you equally demented and closeted cunt.

    I hope they both die, painfully.

  • Is it just me or does Andrew Shirvell seem like he may be mentally handicaped? He just seemed like he was out of touch with what was being said and addressed during the interview.

  • Ya know, when the guy said "Well Anderson...", i really felt like this exchange was going to be brutal.

  • lollllllllllllll is all I can say. This was the most delightful debate I've watched in a good long time. Wonder if he realizes to what extent he's killing the reputation of Christianity... rather, pounding what little is left of its reputation into the dust...

  • I think he's a CLOSET CASE!!!!

  • "I have no problem with the fact that Chris is a homosexual" - 6:23

    HAHAHAHAHAHAH

  • He doesn't really get reality at all, does he? The poor thing looks like he has some sort of mental issue, and is now being paraded around like the silly little creature that he is.

    And, he is very obsessed. What the heck? He is insane.....

    Could he have at least looked at the camera a bit?

  • Comment removed

  • well f me runnin! so ur gonna prosecute me cox? for the recall randy colbry shiawassee county prosecutor? an this guy does this? ur assistant?

    F*&@# Y(*@ C&&@# S*&@##@

  • Now that Mr. Andrew Shirvell has been fired, he will be attending my tea party more often. My guest list includes Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Orly Taitz and we will dine on hot steaming logs of poop originating from the buttocks of Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, and Sharron Angle. In addition to consumption of the poop from these proud conservative women, we will also be consuming Ritz crackers with their moldy vaginal cheese as a spread. This evening will be fantastic.

  • This guy is in such denial about his own sexuality. Terribly sad and frightening.

  • TWO THUMBS UP FOR ANDERSON COOPER! BRAVO!

  • I wonder of Anderson Cooper would call "bigots" and "bullies" all those gay activists who protested outside the Mormon church in California.

  • What a nerd.....he is creepy

  • How in the fluck did this guy ever get a job in the AG's office? I wonder how long before we hear about him getting arrested at some public restroom glory hole or caught with a rent boy? This guy is justing begging for karma to come and bite him in the ass. LOL!

  • I think this guy is in the closet. He is probably threatened by the fact someone would be comfortable with their sexuality and still be succesfull. How many crazy right wingers speak against homosexuality then turn out to be gay.

  • @jirizary73

    Pretty much all of them...

  • Umm well umm (lips pursed). I'm um so jealous um of chris armstrong um because umm I'm a bigger faggot than umm him and umm you know I'm not umm as popular and cool as him (still pursing the lips)....

  • Bwaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahah­a, ths kid needs to be turned into ink and placed in the Oxford Dictionary for Bigot & Ignorant

  • "...it appears, though, that you're obsessed with this young gay man." dingdingdingdingdingdingding!!­!!!

  • they fired him :)

  • @sacrificialhime Thank god!

  • This asshole needs to be placed on administrative leave at the very least!! How can he retain his position as an assistant AG when any other person in a respected position of authority would be terminated immediately for something like this. These moronic right wing conservatives have no place in government!

  • Anderson Cooper just completely owned this asshole.

  • @HaroBMX952 I bet anyone with half a brain could own this guy's asshole. But, yes he certainly did.

  • Right, cuz, you know, Nazis are just SO GAY.

  • this man is such a dumbass. I cannot believe he is even an assistant attorney general

  • Haha, everyone should check out the Jason Jones (from the Daily Show) interview with this guy, it's even more amazing.

  • Wow. Another closeted christian right-winger... Probably good thing that Andrew is sitting down, otherwise the tent in his pants would show... his whole 3" raging monster.

  • This man is not right on so many levels. GREAT job by the interviewer AS ALWAYS, ANDERSON COOPER~!

  • Comment removed

  • dude Shirvell sounds gay lol

  • Andrew Shirvell is a closet homosexual.

    Come out of the closet you douchebag! Tell your redneck christian followers that you take it up the ass, and watch your career die quicker than Steve Irwin in a tank full of stingrays.

  • Comment removed

  • Anderson, you are amazing. Your use of tact was perfect and Mr. Shirvell obviously became hostile and defensive during your interview. Andrew Shirvell is bashing this young man because he has his own deep rooted sexual identity issues. He is degrading and demoralizing someone who is open with something that he cannot be. It's a common tactic used by angry gay youth who wish to remain in the closet at all cost, even if they have to put down other gays except this man is a disturbed official...

  • Don't forget to vote for David Leyton as the next AG to make sure asst AG Shirvell is gone in January.

  • Christian ??? hahahahhah that Beak Nose gave you away !!!!!!

  • I think he's done far more to diminish the value of an education from Michigan than anything his victim could ever even try to do, i.e. note to self: avoid Michigan Law.

  • are we sure Shirvell isn't the gay one?

  • @bceltics0404 Andrew Shirvell is gay YES! but he is also a SOCIOPATH which is even more scary !!!! He needs to be watched ! and University of Michigan should distance themselves from him ... gives UofM a bad name !

  • fucking douche

  • This is no political campaign. This asshole is a stalker.

  • If he says "um" one more time I might go insane.

  • If he says "um" one more time I might go insane.

  • "just because he is homosexual doesn't mean he gets a free pass and we can't criticize him" hahaha. A lot of irony in that remark.

  • I think Andrew Shirvell is gay. Also, a lot of universities have gender-neutral dorm rooms.

  • He's looks like Bill Gates' relative that they're shamed about.

  • I bet Shirvell has a wide stance.

  • ...Wait, so He thinks that creating co-ed dorms are part of a "Radical Homosexual Agenda"?

  • @ConfusedTacos LOL.. I know !!!! I think he is creating a Radical Heterosexual Agenda

  • That guy needs to be kicked in the balls till they pop out his nose, or better yet, drug him and toss him into a gay club. Irony will put this rat faced bigot in his place

  • As a proud alumni of the University of Michigan, I hereby revoke Andrew Shirvell's diploma. How dare he try and speak on our behalf!

  • "um" "um" "um" "um" "um" "um, um, um" This creeper is obsessed with Chris Armstrong. I bet he takes it up the butt and he's just jealous because Sexy Chris Armstrong turned him down.

  • @marc666foryou I wouldn't be surprised!

  • @marc666foryou oh this is so great

  • @marc666foryou "Not that there's anything wrong with taking it up the butt...."

  • @dharmapupil Nothing wrong at all, it would be wrong not to take it up the butt.... Gotta make a booty call, I'll be right back, lol.

  • How can you NOT be angry??? I totally agree with Anderson.

  • @tipofmytongue1024

    Same. Fuck you Shirvell.

  • People, please show some compassion. I hope Andrew Shirvell gets the help he so desperately needs. With all this media attention to his bizarre behavior, he should be on suicide watch.

  • How, in the name of all that is holy, did this man graduate from the University of Michigan?! Hell, how did he graduate from high school?! This little guy can barely form a coherant sentence. Aside from the fact that he has a whole garage full of issues and may end up a serial killer, he is a complete and total imbecile! This man alone dropped U of M's college ratings one hundred points.

  • This Closet Queen should join the Reverend Fred Phelps and his Band of Buffoons.

    He sounds like Chris spurned this creep and now he's being the broken-hearted loser stalker. Shameful for a public official...let alone a private citizen.

  • This man is ridiculous. I saw him outside the house that night taking pictures. Definitely in the closet. Who has this as a hobby?! Honestly!

  • What an ineffectual buffoon. Clowns like this in elected office are more common than you think.

  • Andrew Shirvell seems like he's in the closet and doesn't know how to handle it...

  • yeah this guy is such a closet case! what a idiot I hope they take him out of office.

  • Thank you. This clears it up.

    I wanted to see if there was any substance in Shirvell's criticism: there is not.

    Shirvell is a very unappetizing man. That this guy is assistant AG in Michigan... wow. How did he get there, who put him there?

    "political" campaign?

    Immaturity and lack of judgement outside the office? No way it is not inside the office. inarticulate as he is, he opposes the housing policy. He opposes the influence that a gay man may have from elected office.

  • watch?v=IO1ps1mzU8o

    this is the real story

  • Thank you. This clears it up.

  • This "christian" is obviously gay himself. 

  • $10 says Shirvell had sex with his gay lover after this interview.

  • Someone fire Mr. Armstrong! What an ignoramus.

    

  • does anybody notice Shrivell's shifty eyes?. and also his constant "uhms"... he KNOWS he did wrong!!.. denial !!!..

  • 2:30 <3

  • OMG! This Shivell guy is a sick closet case if I ever saw one. I would not be surprised if you find him caught in a sting at a men's bathroom engaging in "lewd behavior" with another man. His obsession with a handsome college boy can be explained no other way.

  • This man is an idiot....

  • Take that, bitch!

  • I didn't like him when I saw the thumbnail.

  • The assistant DA looks like he might be a little gay.

  • roflmao best interview ever. he contradicts himself like 20 times he's such an idiot he should be fired from office immediately. XD

  • I'd love to know who I can sleep with at CNN that would allow me to post all your videos online and gain hundreds of thousands of views, like SuchAsLife has been doing for ages. Please tell me it's Anderson! LOL

  • Aside from the fact the guy is completely unbalanced and inarticulate, he's a shrieking queen.

  • this makes me be embarrassed to be from Michigan

  • 3:30ish he says "as an obstute observer" instead of astute. how proud Michigan must be. brilliant.

  • this guy seriously reminds me of michael scott from the office LMAO!!!!!!

  • @BLITZmusicIHP YES!!! Brilliant!

  • Why has he yet to be disciplined by Attorney General Mike Cox?

    You supposed to serve ME as a resident of the state of Michigan!

    ELECTED BY US-RESPECTED BY US.

    Join with me and thousands of others by joining the Facebook group "fire Andrew Shirvell !

  • LOL i can hear the "closet case" in his voice!

  • Both insane and a closet case... not a pretty picture. Watch if he doesn't start doing interviews only for Fox Noise.

  • Closeted gay man taking out his self-hatred on a teenager. Sad.

  • this guy needs to be taken out of office and slapped with some libel charges post haste

  • Would love to hear from this guys co-workers....

  • He's clearly got psychological issues. Without interviewing him myself, my first impression is that he's using this campaign to get Chris' attention or get back at him. Most aren't considering this angle, but it's very possible that Chris stole his boyfriend or broke his heart.

  • @Feeze2

    My thoughts exactly.

  • thank god i moved out of michigan if this is who is in office now

  • Did it bother anyone else that he kept reiterating he was a christian, like that was ok? I'm a christian and I don't feel this is right. He makes religion look bad

  • @beeve17 most people that claim 'christianity' make religion look bad.

  • Oh yeah, I think he just has a little crush on that Chris Armstrong. He's definately in the closet!

  • HAHAHAHAHA! He outta go look in the mirror.

  • Methinks thou dost protest too much, Mr. Shirvell!

  • These kind of people frighten me more than the terrorists do!

  • Comment removed

  • hate who you are going to hate but don't you dare do so and try to cover yourself with the blanket of Christianity. don't you dare.

  • Kudos to Cooper for not loosing his cool. Shirvel was just so..... ugh... I'd call him a weasel, but that woudl be insulting to weasels.

    And it's odd how the rest of us can be fired over anything, but when you're a sniveling appointed politician you get awesome job security.

  • If that guy ain't a closet gay I don't know what is.

  • What a joke. "Um, excuse me Anderson..." LOL!

  • He is clearly in love with Chris Armstrong. I think thats kinda sweet.

  • This guy is a FUCKING PSYCHO. In one of his blogs bashing Chris Armstrong (who I dont even know) he stalked all the way to my facebook and took a screen shot of one of my posts. My relation to Chris is that One of his friends younger brother is my friend. Hes nothing but lies.

  • How did this fool get to be MI's Assistant Attorney General? He needs to be removed from office and sent to work at Burger King where kids can throw drinks at him through the drive-up window.

  • How did this idiot get a law degree - in a Crackerjack box? He sounds like he's got no more than a 6th grade education, and that might be an injustice to 6th graders.

  • OMG it's Michael Scott in the flesh, LOL. He even says "it's part for the course.." ROFLMAO

  • @2SistersintheGarden I noticed that too. What a fucking retard!

  • Tea partiers are religious terrorists.

  • The whole thing is odd. This Shirvell person is odd. Says "umm" too many times for a person who is a lawyer. Why is he so interested in the student? Did he run for the council at some point and lose? I think more will be revealed. There is some funny business going on I bet.

  • "It appears, though, that you're obsessed with this young gay man."

    God I love you, Mr. Cooper.

  • He really is abnormal.

  • He reminds me of Brick Tamland from Anchorman.

  • @orkid682 There is a difference between Law and Order and Justice. Law and Order is easy, you have an agenda and cram it down everyone's throats, right and wrong don't matter, just getting what you want. Justice takes a lot of hard work, Justice William O. Douglas used to say that he had many a sleepless night because he worried about innocent people punished for crimes that they didn't committ. Gell me that Shirvell would give the people he hates justice. I don't believe it.

  • Is that Pee Wee Herman? Pee Wee...is that you? I am a fan.

  • Anderson Cooper for President!

  • Wait, so this lawyer is against women and men choosing to live together??? Now THAT sounds like a radical homosexual agenda!!

  • Dear Jesus, Please protect Chris Armstrong from your followers

  • Comment removed

  • I just like how this guy is saying that he doesn't stalk him but he is sitting out side his house and "protesting". I think that is he just like his boss said immature and can't handle the fact that there is someone different than him and he doesn't like it. I don't know much about the guy he is flamming but I definatly beliee that he just trying to make the college or where he is attending a better place for the students like a member of the student counsel member should. That is my opinion.

  • Personally my theory is he approached the student, was rejected and is now focusing on ruining his life. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

  • I sense a lot of avoidance in Mr. Shirvell's lack of responsiveness. His non-verbals cause me to think he has low self esteem. Many bullies have low self-esteem - this guy needs therapy!

  • Can't this guy be tried for multiple things? Like severe harassment/stalking or even slander? I mean he is a disgrace to Michigan and his boss' administration and is fucking sick.

  • This guy acts like a sociopath.

  • Normally when people are making a big deal about someones sexual preference means that they are homophobic and usually gay themselves. When you work for any government agency, anything that you say or do looks back on your employer. Look at Jesus' words in the Bible and you will see that he practiced love and acceptance. He is definitely a cyber bully!!!!

  • As a long time Michigan resident I can say I'm embarrassed by this jerk. Calling him a rep. of Satan isn't "Personal" What a joke.

  • Look at this guy. I will lay any amount of money that Andrew Shirvell fantasizes about sucking on a penis when he's masturbates.

  • Comment removed

  • Boy the U of Michigan is looking REALLY stupid now...first Rich Rod breaking NCAA violations and now this idiot is going on national TV. In fact, this man's fury might be a function of his alma mater's shitty football performance. If UM could just get on OSU's level just once this decade, this guy might just chill out and stop being such a prick. But since Mich ISN'T gonna get on our level, unfortunately, Chris Armstrong is going to be dealing with this prick for awhile.

  • Andrew graduated from Ave Maria Law School in Florida. This is sometimes referred to as "Domino's Pizza Law School" because the school was funded by an endowment of the founder of Domino's Pizza who is an ultra-conservative, pre Vatican-II Catholic. The same Domino's founder also had attempted to build an actual city in Florida that would be centered around a Cathedral. This law school has a similar mission as Bob Jones, Liberty U. et. al. -- to promote Lunatic Christian Dominion in America.

  • Andrew Shirvell is delusional. Why else would he appear on national TV and not realize that his goofy voice and appearance and every word he utters makes him look like a hateful fool? Was he doing a Pee-Wee Herman impersonation?!?

  • This guy is clearly psychotic

    .How did he end up the Asst.D.A.?

    Working on the D.A. campaign staff as the head coordinator/advisor! REPUBLICANS....0_o...w0W.

  • Shirvell being a Christian, he SHOULD have been protesting the aspect of "gender-neutral dorms" that allowed men and WOMEN to live together. That's not, as he claims, "a radical redefinition of gender norms;" that's, instead, an acceptance of the fact that unmarried couples live together. That's not the way we Christians might want it, but it's the way things are. Shirvell is trying to wage a fight that was lost long ago. He needs to learn from history and not repeat past mistakes.

  • Now that CNN got rid of Sanchez they can get back to Journalism.

  • Anderson did a great job, but he missed one great opportunity to show Shirvell up even more fully. Shirvell said that Armstrong's "radical gay agenda" consisted of advocating for gender-neutral dorms, so that "any two men could live together who wanted to." Well, when I was in college (the '60s), we men were able to live ONLY with other men. After freshman year, we got to choose our roommate. Stupid Shirvell doesn't realize that's the tradition - it's not some "radical gay agenda"!

  • pwnd. that is all.

  • Sanchez got screwed BOYCOT CNN!!

  • "The real bigot is Chris Armstrong"...WHAT?!

    That doesn't even make sense.

    ANDERSON COOPER SMACKDOWN!

    Got 'em!

  • ANDERSON COOPER SMACKDOWN!

    

  • I love you Anderson Cooper.  <3

  • This man is another example how organized religion - whether it is Christian, Jewish or Moslem - is all about self rightiousness and power. And it is getting worse in this country - We have enough trouble with the mindlessness of Moslems and their prehistoric thinking (if you can call it thinking) - add to the mix the same kind of think (non-thinking) of Christians - and taken to the logical extreme - these two groups can really put us all in trouble. He & his gutless wonder AG need to go.
