  • What I'm trying to say is that no matter how sweet I know a lot of Christians are, I also know that outright slaughter is done in the name of Christianity, which taints the name quite heavily. Never mind that you can justify ANYTHING with the bible if you squint and tilt your head. And I mean anything here, really.

    Thus, whether you think the guy is a real Christian or not is sweet but still a moot point.

  • If an extremely huge number of people call themselves Christians and do Bad Things, and a smaller (or just less visible) number of people call themselves Christians and abhors said Bad Things, guess which ones will be dubbed the "real Christians" by us non-Christians. It's the bigger group. Especially if the bigger group contains political/religious tanks that gets a lot of publicity/are more or less untouchable.

  • anderson cooper is the shiznit

  • OMF i love this guy!! Andrew Shirvell, ur a fkn genius! maybe you should quit politics and become a comedian! I have never seen someone THIS intolerant in my life, you have to be a joke! well done dude, u made me laugh today! what a loser, its so obvious that shirvell is a HEAVILY closeted homo. just face it dude, you love the college boy! oh and btw NO WAY SHIRVELL IS A CHRISTIAN! people like shirvell give christians a bad name. theres no room for ANY kind of hate in christianity!

  • @Scissors586

    You're kidding right? Why is it when a Christian does something so far out whacky, other Christians claim he can't be Christian. But when the Christian who did wrong is so far up in the food chain, we're all supposed to give him a break "because he's only human, and we're all sinners!"

  • @VideoMenu Uhh, yeah i was kidding, and since when does that ever happen?

  • @VideoMenu Dude. I don't care how far you are up the food chain, if you're going against the peace and love Jesus preaches, you fail and you aren't a christian.

  • @Onasariel wow im not that religious but i can tell you are a REAL Christian. No true Christian in their right mind would publicly harbor so much hatred if they believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

    Finally someone agrees with me. If you're a Christian then you are SUPPOSED TO subscribe to the idea of "love thy neighbor as thyself" and if you dont you should either fix that or your not really a Christian.

    Thanks friend, I appreciate your comment :-)

  • @VideoMenu Late response, but to be honest, it's usually because they're not upholding the basic tenants of Christianity. One of the less-cited of the Commandments is about not bearing false witness against your fellow man. Unless this guy had a Phineas Gage level brain injury, there's no way that he really believes that everything he said about Armstrong is true, or that the lack of a public rebuttal is evidence of their veracity.

  • There is something very very wrong with Andrew Shirvell.

  • Mike Cox is way out of line

  • @yachtbigsmile Im sorry and excuse my rudeness but, that sounds like a medical problem.

  • Unfamiliarceiling you are my favorite person ever

  • Shirvell is an example of what happens when someone believes in a religion that tells them their natural state of existence is evil.

  • Shirvell looks like PeeWee. Closet case. 

  • This is obvious that Shirvell has quite possibly on a self-destruction and possibly for his own crush on Armstrong....this is the type of thing that the HBO documentary OUTRAGE depicts of the closeted gays in the Republican Party. Be true to yourself!

  • Every gay person who has been convicted of a crime in the state of Michigan during Shirvell's term needs to appeal. How could any of them have received the equal protection that the 14th amendment of our consitution gurantees all citizens when this raging homophobe was behind their prosecution?

  • @pyrobryan yes, just yes. everything you said, spot on. I dont think that these people should get free passes but DEFINITELY have someone ELSE who is actually OBJECTIVE and not some freakin (restraining myself from cursing) homophobe whose probably a self-hating closeted homosexual himself. This guy makes me sick, i mean how can this guy have a public official job? ugh, i try not to judge but closeted gays who are homophobic just make my blood boil. no sympathy at all

  • @MistroEduardo i mean im pretty sure Anderson Cooper is a closeted homosexual but AT LEAST he supports the gay community. he is definitely an LGBTQIQ hero in my book (i love Cooper!!)

  • thank you anderson cooper for exposing this bigot!

  • I agree completely w/ the comments that Shirvell DEF has a crush on this Chris Armstrong guy & is completely closeted & just obsessed w/ him period. When you are calling someone a racist, nazi, evil, etc. & STALKING them, going to their HOME to protest them that goes WAY beyond "free speech". I thought Anderson was ex. composed, yes he is gay, but even if he wasn't, just as a human being it's atrocious to have to listen to. This guy has to be stopped! Using being "Christian" as an excuse to hate

  • Coming from someone who lives in Michigan and is a gay male this state is sooo screwed we cant win for shit !! Shirvell is a homosexual his self and I think its more to this story he probably wants Mr. Armstrong and was turned down and Mike Cox u just wait til its time to vote ur done buddy...I personally think we need a clean slate just get rid of all the aholes like Shirvell and Cox and get someone in who will abide by the law not break it and then weasel out of gettin into trouble!!

  • If Shirvell tried to pull this stunt in Australia he would already be in court for slander and Armstrong (who is a total babe) would be driving Shrivell's car home.

  • @seanjoseph91 Yep, in Germany, too (where the use of this Nazi sign is even a crime itself, too). Really, I don't want to live in America if insulting and bullying is a legal way of expressing one's freedom of speech there O.o

  • @evanescencelady01 you must remember though, this dumbass is the exception, not the rule. Most Americans just use the right to free speech to say that government officials blow chunks........ Like Shirvell.

  • @evanescencelady01 Please don't think that this asshole represents all Americans. We're not all like that.

  • @george4ever26101 I think what he meant is that to many of us Germans, it's inconceivable how hacks like Shirvell can wrap themselves up in the US Constitution and get away with it. If he tried that with Germany's Grundgesetz, he wouldn't get past article 1, paragraph 1.1 before he'd get burned:

    "The dignity of man is inviolable. To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority."

    (Our constitution was written for dummies who needed several attempts to get it right.)

  • Shirvell... VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GAY.

    Anderson Cooper = So Hot Cool Collected & Slick =]

  • @pabs619sd I agree, I think Shirvell is a closet case. Why else would he be stalking this student?

  • I think I'm in love with Mr Cooper.

  • In the first part when Shirvell says I sense anger in your voice Anderson. Does he not know that Anderson is gay? lol and that's why he is so pissed because Shirvell is obviously a homophobe.

  • @rockingreject You know I was thinking that, but also, I feel that because Shirvell is in fact a homosexual as well, he felt paranoid knowing that Anderson Cooper could probably see right through his lying ass.

  • I like the guy interviewing... but he cuts people off too often ):

  • Methinks Shirvell might be closeted. This might all be a little crush gone way too far.

  • Is Andrew Shirvell like 10 years old or something?

  • This guy is gonna sue Sherville. Hard. He's gonna have a lawsuit so far up his ass his cherry will pop.

  • Shirvell is a bully, much like the bullies in school who have caused several vulnerable children to commit suicide recently. Yet in his case, it is considered free speech. How can we discourage children from tormenting others when Shirvell is allowed to endlessly harass Chris Armstrong? Thankfully, Chris Armstrong is a strong and confident young man who has not let Shirvell's detestable behaviour beat him down.

  • Shirvell is clearly not playing with a full deck. But I'll bet money all four queens are still in there.

  • @poetryandbeyond,

    AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! GENIUS!!!!

  • This guy Shirvell is sick. Armstrong needs to get a restraining order asap. Shirvell seems like he is more them willing to go off the deep end...

  • Shrivel is obsessed with Chris Armstrong and quite frankly reeks of danger. His kind of shrill obsession is frightening. He clings to First Amendment rights, but clearly reverberates with incredible weirdness.

    "Mike Cox" is right up there with "Mike Hunt" and "Ben Dover…" hilarious.

  • He's a prejudiced religious creep. I have led myself to think that he is a closet homosexual that is too wrapped up in his Christian beliefs - So he targets the boy.

  • Sherville is one scary and creepy guy.

    He is also a classic example of the dangers of the closet. First, you deeply damage yourself. Then, twisted and bitter, you go on to damage others.

    He needs intensive therapy, not a high-profile post at the public expense. Cox is a disgrace for not firing him.

  • @ivanthenotsobad Intensive therapy ... Shock Therapy perhaps. lol. Yeah is Cox wants to be taken seriously at all he should fire this idiot and put someone in there with a little more maturity, accountability and tact. This guy is a crazy, closet, christian, cock sucker. Nothing is wrong with being a Christian but its people like him who hide behind religion and the constitution of the U.S. that make people hate organized religion and your country.

  • @Deerslayer2k9 "This guy is a crazy, closet, christian, cock sucker. Nothing is wrong with being a Christian but its people like him who hide behind religion and the constitution of the U.S. that make people hate organized religion and your country." Amen brother.

  • totally agree with nortryk

  • closet gay, is gay

  • OH HOLY CRAP, sherville is off the deep end. i cant even bring myself to be angry at him, i just hope he gets himself some help, because that sort of behavior indicates a much deeper level of disturbance.

  • Comment removed

  • They're probably going to find bodies in this guy's backyard. What a creeper.

  • Andrew Shirvell: " you're completely IRRELEVANT!! The blog will continue – whether you and your fellow “queer” activists like it or not!!"

    Me: I care not if your blog goes on or not. You are free to live your life as you see fit. I find it an odd obsession to fixate on others sexuality though.. Very odd indeed." 

  • I've corresponded with Andrew Shirvell on Facebook: Me: "Nothing quite a sad as a self-hating Fag. If you were not gay you would not be obsessed with those who also are. You would simply live and let live. I've known too many guys like you. One day you will come out and the shame of your past actions will crush you. Good luck."

  • @Coklan good for you man....right on. I still think facebook is gay tho.... ; ) 

    jk

  • I love how people hide behind the First Ammendment when they are defaming somebody else. Shit, if I was Armstrong I would sue this clost homosexual.

  • As a student at University of Michigan, I like to apologize to the general public. We're a great school with diverse and open-minded students who are intelligent and willing to learn and accept other people and cultures.

    I know I don't represent all of U of M but someone needs to step up.

  • why isnt this harassment, stalking or any other of several other illegal acts????

  • disgusting right wing christian pests.

  • Dear Mr. Shirvell:

    While you bicker about gay rights and issues affecting our country, why not put our differences aside and be invited to my Tea Party? There, famous conservatives like Jan Brewer and Sarah Palin will join us, and during dinner, they will pull down their panties, squat over our dinner plates, and let loose a thick log of hot steaming poop out of their respective anuses for all of us to consume. It will contain acorns which will add to the nut and corn crunch-like consistency.

  • So Mr. Shirvell, let's leave this man well enough alone and feast on the hot steaming poop of Sarah Palin and Jan Brewer tonight.

    -Mordechai

  • only a few yrs till we find out shervill is gettin it on w. a male escort lol

  • Something has to be done about people like Shirvell! People like him are why four young boys killed themselves within the past month!

  • When will we all stop laughing and making snide remarks and recognize the truly scary fact that this guy is being allowed to continue harassing this young man and now the entire country is standing by and watching. It won't be funny if he hurts Chris Armstrong, but then "America will be outraged and ask.'how could anything like this happen here'. This guy is deranged. Both he and his boss should be ousted from state employment. Thanks for the address and email. I plan to exercise my rights too!

  • @omiolo1 Your an idiot. I wish to go back in time and give your mother an abortion with a rusty hanger. I'm sure everyone on this message thread would thank me.

  • That schlep Shirvell needs to come out and find a nice gay man to rough him up a bit - in the butt.

  • Hits my gaydar too! What a complete nob!

  • Me thinks miss Shirvell is rather close to Cox.

  • @sazji hmmm, maybe friends with favours!

  • "This is about my cocks..."

    Hehehehehehe

  • @blackdice23 Oh, don't you just love Beavis and Butthead style humor? :))))) Huhuhuh huhuh huhuh...He said Cox!

  • Mike Cox should resign for having supported this self hating gay bigot

  • I'm embarrassed to live in Michigan. It takes about 5 seconds of watching this a-hole to figure out he's a self-loathing closet gay guy lashing out at someone who he despises for being able to live comfortably and successfully out of the closet. What a piece of crap.

  • There are plenty of grounds to fire this so-called public servamt. DO IT!!

  • DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER IS A BULLYING CHARACTERISTIC AND IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE US GOV'T. IS ALLOWING THIS HARRASSMENT.

  • I do think Shirvell is a loon, but I think Anderson Cooper is a mediocre interviewer as he continually interrupts his interviewees and doesn't let them speak. His questioning should be more smooth rather than abrupt. It's annoying to watch Cooper interview.

  • @groundballfreddy I disagree, I think it's hilarious to see him ice some closet case. Keep it up, Cooper, you're giving the world prime entertainment.

  • Does Shervill look gay?

  • @wobbler1957 Big time gay. Look at his lips when talking, his eyes, his head moves and his whole body language. He just needs to get laid by another man to realize what he needs to quit being a self hating homophobe ;-)

  • People like Shirvell and Cox should not be allowed to run for office...

  • lmfao this Shirvell guy needs to smoke a little....

  • @imraw17 No not to smoke, to suck some ....

  • @sylsam suck some dick because he's a closet faggot?

  • "this is not about andrew shirvell ... this is about my cocks"

  • @unfamiliarceiliing "...for my cocks to hide behind..."

  • @unfamiliarceiliing

    F***ING HILARIOUS!

  • This Shirvell guy is a fucking loon! And gay! He's gayer than a Republican in a restroom...listen to the way he talks!! WTF is wrong with these "Christian" anti-gay freaks?? Are any of them straight?

  • If you rewatch the Interview with Anderson... Andrew Shirvell calls Anderson "Chris" at 4:36.

  • As a Christian, I denounce this man. He does not represent me.

    God damnit, my religion has been hijacked by crazy extremists!

  • @ScaryMara By believing in that bullshit you give credit to his shitty attitudes towards gay people. Maybe you should really read the Bible instead of picking and choosing the happy shit you want to believe in to see where and why he has these opinions.

  • @streeterville773

    I would craft some clever response to this, but I don't have the time, my date (who is also a woman) is coming over to pick me up.

  • @ScaryMara - i understand how you must feel - i think many feel that way (see Anne Rice)... nevertheless, it is the current reality for christianity... a shame really.

  • @ScaryMara Join the club...

  • It takes a real creep to make something as revolting and disgusting as homosexuality look right.

    Congratulations, Shirvell...you ARE that creep.

  • @BERNARDO712 and you are not any better than that creep, stupid homophobe...

  • HEY, CHRISTIANS, keep sending guys like this to represent you and you prove the point that you are intolerant, bigoted, angry little creeps-not to mention sooo in the closet. Keep sending these guys, tho....it will bring more prople to the side of rational thinking and honesty- NO GOD-if this man were not a christian, most likely he wouldn't be the creep he is.

  • What a piece of shit.

  • He should lose his job for stalking. For Chris' safety and also for the safety of someone else he may stalk or harrass. It's stalking and harrassment period. Attorneys and officials face the same consequences that any other person would get in this situation because they didn't uphold their political images as a civil servant. He is not free to get away with things based on free speech. Slander, stalking, and harrassment are NOT a free speech issue. It's a CRIME. He should face the consequences

  • There has been SEVERAL suicides in the news by very young gay kids because they were bullied to the point where they just couldn't take it anymore. It's very sad they some people can do this to others.

    This Shirvell guy is probably hating himself for me gay but he's deflecting the hate towards another human being because he doesn't want to look at himself in the mirror.

  • So that explains how a nothing like Andrew Shirvell ends up an Assistant Attorney General in Michigan. He's a rightwing political hack who helped get Attorney General Mike Cox (Freudians take it away) elected. His job was political pay-back. Now Cox doesn't want to offend his wingnut supporters and fire this stalker and cyber bully.

  • @Bigwave2003 & did u know that he talks about the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund helping Chris Armstrong get elected (or so Shirvell SAYS because he has NO proof to back this up and I don't honestly think he NEEDED the help to get elected as Class President. Not in Michigan anyway) and how it's such a bad thing? But he's done it himself by getting Mike Cox elected!!!!!!!!!! Shirvell is a hypocrite plain and simple. I agree with what you said too. He better fire him because Shirvell WILL do worse.

  • ROFLMAO. Andrew Shirvell is SOOOO GAYYYYYYY. My Gaydar was alarmed big time, hahaha. he is in extreme denial. He is stalking Chris 'coz he has crush on him, I am guessing.

  • @sylsam My thoughts EXACTLY!

  • @sylsam Mine too! Self hatred is the biggest motivator. Kill the other guy, NOT me, LOL; however, it isn't a laughing matter as we have seen in the last few weeks losing so many young people for being harrassed. This guy is a public servant in name only, & shouldn't be paid on the public's dime..........PERIOD!

  • Shirvell <3 armstrong. real life gots the best romantic comedies. hollywood needs to get off its ass

  • Saben321 says: "If this creep were really a Christian, I would convert to anything else in an instant." He IS a Christian. Don't play that "he's not a REAL Christian" game, please. If somebody says and believes they're a Christian, then they are a Christian. It's entirely subjective. All religion is man made- thus totally subjective.

  • @KRKBAB : sir, are there not such definitions that define specific religions? Ex : a man is excommunicated, regardless of what he tells you, he is no longer accepted in said religion. infact, i'm willing to bet you don't believe in religious values and that you are indeed a liberal. "thus", most likely a minority either by income or by race.

  • @cuttiegurlrocks7 o just go choke - serious, that is such a garble of nonsense!

  • If i was the Attorney General of Mich. The moment i caught wind of this whole thing i would have called sherville and fired him right then and there. that is just uncalled for and not needed. to claim "i only did it because its good christian values" is more bullshit then a convicted murderer saying they only did it because he called me a bad name.

  • if this guy conceders himself to be a good christian voicing good christian values. I sure am glad I'm an Atheist. This report saddens me deeply.

  • My God, what a tiny, mean, vindictive, little, man-thing. If this creep were really a Christian, I would convert to anything else in an instant. He reminds me of the tinfoil hat crowd that insist the the government is controlled by aliens or zionists. He looks like he is about one missed dose of anti-psychotic medication away from taking a rifle to the top of a tower.

  • @saben321 - nicely put! - i like you.

  • @saben321 - can u even imagine what kind of monstrous kinky spins his junk? - jeebus on a pogo stick and yikes for sure!!

  • THIS is a person the US trusts as assistant attorney general? what a messed up guy.

  • Andrew is all about boys and he is out of control and out of line.

  • @VeganGirl20 Huh?

  • Even on your own time, your actions still reflect on your employer. He does not represent the people. The Attorney General needs to ask "what if this kid was Shivelle's client? How could he responsibly represent him?"

  • Funny how, in this case, "Family Values" doesn't include bullying others. Over the internet or not. All families with children should be concerned with bullies, and harassing a 21 year old kid should be no different. It doesn't matter who he is or what he does, bullying is wrong.

  • He gay.

  • @sumiller2003 AMEN!

  • If ever there was a case of someone acting out a homosexual panic, this is it. My guess is that Shirvell will be one of those Christopublicans ultimately caught soliciting male-male sex in a public rest room...

  • OMG, my gaydar has just hit red alert watching Sherville! - seriously - it is never wrong!

  • @nortryk same...beep beep beep beep

  • @nortryk SAME! as soon as he opened his mouth I KNEW!

  • @nortryk mine too, it went off the charts... once this guy comes out I can see him becoming a Drag Queen.

  • @nortryk It's the eyebrows.

  • @nortryk Dude, my gaydar redlined as soon as the guy opened his mouth. I had to pause the video and rofl.

  • @nortryk right there with you. When Cooper said "you seem to be interested in this kid" I almost busted out laughing.

  • clearly it is time to get these senseless, morally brainwashed, and dangerously hateful bigots out of government positions and , oh - burn them at the stake, or something...

    serious.

  • someones got some real issues

  • @omiolo1

    you _got_ to be kidding.....

  • @omiolo1 It's worth noting that 'family values' is an evolving concept thanks to advances in technology changing how families communicate, financial expectations and educational freedom bringing more women to the workplace, and the rise in divorces and children out of wedlock.

    I was raised by a single mother as have many other people in this world. I knew my father but he wasn't a huge part of my life. Being raised by one or two gay people couldn't be much stranger...if not for homophobia.

  • @omiolo1 Some of the

  • It looks like we have a potential soulmate for Debbie Schlussel, the conservative "reporter".

    Andrew and Debbie should get married and have babies.

    Look up Debbie Schlussel on youtube and you'll see they'd be perfect for each other. BTW, I am putting Shirvell under homo suspicion.

  • The attorney General needs to resign!

  • Shrivell really seems to be closeted himself. He gives no detailed reasons as to why he has targeted Armstrong.  And people that punctuate every few words with "Erm" or "Ahm" really lose my interest.

  • @RichardSwaine Not to get overly analytical, but I think body language is interesting. I've read that people fabricating a lie will often look upwards, as though "searching" for a story. Maybe, maybe not, but it just stood out. He definitely fits all of my stereotypes of a self-loathing, closeted homosexual male. No words for him. None.

  • Cox is very conservative so he prolly likes what shirvell is saying. As for shervell, he is a bigot and a cunt. Fuck'em.

  • Governor of Michigan calls for anti-gay assistant AG to be fired.

    "If I was still Attorney General and Andrew Shirvell worked for me, he would have already been fired," tweeted Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

  • I laughed every time they said Mike Cox.

  • Shirvell = obvious faggot

  • Gay gay gay - the man is gay, closeted and has a mean little man crush

  • @2nick99 , On the pretty gay fella! ;-)

  • Gay gay gay - the man is gay and has a man crush

  • hahahaha my cocks

  • Andrew Shirvell=retarded bigot.

  • @AlbinoOctopus don't forget closet homosexual

  • that faggot shirvell is obviously in love with armstrong lol

  • I wonder whether Sherville's conduct is grounds for disbarment...

  • Big ol' Pee Wee Herman lookalike closet case.

  • Dude is a classic republican closet case, prolly has a lot of self-hatred and all that. I guarantee we're gonna hear a story of him getting arrested, trying to offer an undercover cop money for a blowjob in a airport bathroom sometime within the next year.

    other notable republican closet case fiasco's

    Mark Foley

    Ted Haggard

    Larry Craig

    Bob Allen

    Glenn Murphy Jr.

  • Toobin misses the central reason why AG Cox needs to fire Shirvell. That is all the past cases against gay plaintiffs which Mr. Shirvell prosecuted. I assume they'll now be coming out in droves claiming Mr. Shirvell's insane hatred towards gay people made it impossible for him to execute the laws of the state of Michigan in a manner that guaranteed their due process and equal protection rights.

    What reasonable non-bigoted person could disagree on some of the more egregious cases?

  • this guy is a cock

  • Can I invite him to my Tea Party where we can dine on Sarah Palin's poop?

  • @demonflayme6 How de Sade of you!

  • shirvell dash andrew dot blogspot dot com

  • Homophobe and racist. Spurned gay man? Probably. I wish people who spout hate would stop adding the phrase that " I am a Christian..." They really need to re-evaluate what Christian means.

  • @tairenm I know, they give real, "true" Christians a bad name.

  • One of the nice things about free speech is that everyone has the right to make a fool of themselves... this is a perfect example. Shirvell has shot himself in the foot for certain...

  • Another closeted Republican attacking gays. It's only a matter of time before everyone knows he too is a homosexual. Please Andrew Shirvell go kill yourself now!

  • Hahahah... 0:08-0:13

    I seriously thought he said, "This is really about my cock(s)"
