why do these idiots seem to think gay people are outrageously sexual, and incapable of controlling their urges? LoL he acts like gays are animals... "being able to tell their commander what they think of him (sexually implied)"??? WTF. Well, being from rural america, i can assure that about 40% of whites are mentally retarded hillbilly trash, and i guess they too need their representation.
The guy in the background is hilarious. He's remembering when he was in collage & he got really drunk one night. "Am I gay?". Then he gets relly depressed,
The level of stupid coming out of this idiot's mouth is EPIC...BTW Louie, your understanding of history is serious lacking...the Greeks fully accepted homosexuality (even encouraged it) from the beginning, the Spartans required homosexual relationships, the greatest military leader of all time, Alexander, was gay, and the Romans fully accepted homosexuality by the 1st century, and their empire lasted another 400 years in the west, 1400 years in the east
You are a complete Idiot... grow up, sit down, and shut up! You are so far behind the times... that you probably think humans ran with the Dinosaurs, and that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago.
It inherently discomforts me that people like you are allowed to represent any part of this"Free" nation. You are obviously bought and paid for by your Old White Constituents, and you lack any forethought of your own.
SO Gohmert is basically saying soldiers are too afraid of gays to re-enlist? Damn Gohmert you saying our troops are a bunch of pussies? TERROR BABIES!!!
The sad part is, his over zealous animosity towards the “gays” is probably nothing more than an attempt to hide his own love for the cock. I give it 8 years before he’s found in a bathroom stall with Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) or an underage male constituent.
This nutcase is from the most bigoted, redneck, backwoods area of East Texas where most adults have more toes than teeth & shouldn't be considered as representative of the state as a whole.
The "hundreds" of active duty military he claims have told him they won't reinlist if DADT is ended, probably should not be serving in the first place. Let them retire, the country is better off without them.
@dingysd If that is true we are going to lose too many people. We need to find out how many straight guys will not reinlist if this is passed. I don't understand why gays are making such a big deal out of DADT. Why do they need to announce that they are gay? Do they want DADT overturned so they can openly try to have sex with the straight guys?
50 years from now his grandchildren are going to be so embarrassed being related to this bigot who is going to be vilified in a few decades. And rightfully so.
republithug gohmert is a bigot. The man I married in 2004 was a Maj. In the 82nd Airborne a Gulf War I Veteran. Our same sex marriage 6 years ago did cause the end of civilazation as we know it thank GOD! We are all created equal. Unfortunately this guy should live in Iran where he would feel more comfortable.
Oh my Gosh, I just realized that this is the crazy "Terror Babies" guy that was on Anderson Cooper!! I'm still waiting for Hollywood to pick up that idea. I need to see Terror Babies 3D!! I'll pay anything!!
What's in the water in Texas? Gohmert and Joe Barton seem to be trying to outdo each other in levels of shameless stupidity. The fact that Gohmert was ever a judge astounds me. Imagine having to be a defendant in his courtroom.
I know I should mostly want dadt repealed for the sake of equality, but right now my uppermost desire to see dadt repealed is to see the heads of McCain, this idiot and their ilk explode when it gets repealed and wonder of all wonders, the mountains don't crumble, California doesn't tumble into the pacific and the Sun doesn't explode!! Please Harry bring up the vote, I want to see these bastards lose their minds!!!
What's going on in the US? The rest of the world is moving forward but not there. Republicans are trying to turn back the clock. They say that they want to push forth their brand of democracy in other parts of the world, like Iraq, yet they're just as racist, misogynistic, homophobic and narrow minded as the radical Muslims in the Middle East. Women's rights? No. Gay rights? No! What do they stand for? Gun rights, de-funding the arts, making abortions illegal, etc. Jobs? Nah!
The poll sent out and reported on two weeks ago was anonymous and asked such details as shower questions. The poll was very slanted in favor of anti gay movement, and still turned out quite positive.
There are a few countries that allow gays to serve openly with no problems Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and Uruguay.
and General Petraeus? he "just goes along" with it? He's the one leading and he says do away with this out of date measure of segregation. Longview Texas..HA! You can shoot someone in the face and be out the next day. pshh. Quit spreading hate.
Evangelical Christians & men like this have devolved into just a hate group. These morally depraved lunatics are the enemies of democracy & everyone decent & loving.
"I just ask you to not look at any of the examples where this is clearly not the case. Don't look at Thebes. Don't look at Rome. For the love of God do not look at Sparta."
Or modern; Australia, Israel, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Russia, United Kingdom, or any of the other 28 countries that currently allow gay soldiers with no negative effects.
If a member of our Country's Military has a problem serving with his fellow Americans then THEY has the problem and it is on that individual soldier to rectify it. If that means leaving the Armed Forces so be it. The more cohesive core, that would be left, is what should be left protecting our Nation. Good riddance.
Well...there seems to be a common theme that stays consistent throughout all of the comments- THIS LOSER IS A FUCKING IDIOT! !!! RED NECK SOUNDED SON OF A BITCH!
@Rexcetera Texas? Sorry to say, "Texas". He's. From. Texas. Now to those Texan Democrats or Progressives, that actually may include you, too. Here's why. You have allowed people like this, like your governor to say things that badly represent the USA to the rest of the world. Until Texas Democrats, Liberals and Progressives turn around your political climate so that this guy is no longer possible, "being from Texas" in reference to this guy will not be a compliment. ;)
@plutogirllovekj No, I am challenging Liberal Texans to change their (your) state's politics. You want to talk bigots, then just look at the stuff coming form the South. I am from the North. Southerners have to prove themselves with me. Wanna do that?
@TuboEspectador Umm...I'm not from the American South...I was born in the Caribbean, raised in London, immigrated to Seattle, live in Brooklyn, now residing in MA for School...I honestly don't know what comment you're responding to...Je suis desolee!
Might I remind you that Gohmert is the SAME GUY who thinks that some immigrants are intentionally having children in America and training them from infancy to be terrorists. And he couldn't prove this but he still said it.
It always HAS bothered me a little that an institution which claims to be "defending freedom" DOESN'T allow those same freedoms to be exercised within its ranks. Seems kind of hypocritical. But maybe that's just me.
The military did take a private poll, & conducted a year-long study. What did that poll find? Most of the soldiers are in favor of repealing DADT, with the exception of the Marines. Also, he says militaries that allow gays to serve "overtly" are obsolete and bad. I wouldn't say Israel has a defunct military, & they've been allowing gays for over a decade.
