Frank J. has crossed the line this time. Normally, I agree with all of his policies: nuking the moon, nuking France, nuking nukes. But today, I have to stand up and take a stand against his latest IMAO policy.
In one of his last posts he said:
I really don’t see how any thinking person can debate the use of that word in every day speech. In fact, I see no room whatsoever for disagreement on this subject. I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and on my side is written the word “faggot.” Either you’re for constantly calling people faggots or you’re no longer welcome to blog or comment here on IMAO.
This word has reached the national attention thanks to Ann Coulter who made remarks where she said that she wouldn’t use the word ‘faggot’ or she would have to go to therapy. This is very shocking. It is completely unlike Ann to say something that offends people with different belief systems. I’m sure that 9/11 widows will come out with a statement condemning Ann, as soon as they stop celebrating their husbands’ deaths.
Yet, I can’t be forced to use the word faggot. Maybe Frank J. doesn’t understand how important words are to a sensitive and caring soul such as myself. One of my cousins read Frank’s post and was very offended. Personally, I don’t care what my cousin thinks since he’s a wetback and should not even be in the country to begin with, but his point is valid: some words are just plain offensive and have no place in the English language.
I prefer to use the term “queer” and I don’t care who it bothers. Queer means something like slightly odd. Slight is good.
Homesexuality is seen as a perversion by only 90% of world religions. What does that tell us? That the other 10% must be Anglicans and Scientologists. Besides that — it tells us that after having run countless episodes of Will & Grace, the world now sees homosexuality as ‘merely revolting.’
How bad ly is it seen? It is rumored that at one point during World War II, Hitler stood in one of the concentration camps. He was surrounded by bones, and flesh, and despair. As they were sweeping out the charred carcasses, two guards held hands in an intimate manner. Hitler remarked, “Now, that’s just not right.”
So can we stop calling them Faggots? We shouldn’t hate gay people for their lifestyle choices. We should pray for them and hope that the promising new research on gay sheep one day provides a cure. Sure, it will be a blander society, with fewer, less colorful fashion shows, but that is a small price to pay for progress.
Queers have a right to respect, and I refuse to constantly use the disrespectful word ‘faggot’. Faggot seems such a harsh word and can only serve to turn the faggots off and make them stop reading IMAO (if they ever read it in the first place because IMAO is not very faggot friendly).
So, Frank J. leave the queers alone and don’t force your co-bloggers to adopt the phrase “faggot.” For one thing, it’s very offensive to queers. For another, having to go blogger rehab centers can be very pricey.
RightWingDuck is an internationally known and respected blogger. His work can be found at RightWingDuck.net and at IMAO. RightWingDuck is also author of famous books such as “Yes, That Dress DOES Make You Look Fat: A Guide to Marriage By Using Brutal Honesty” and his follow up book “Ten Steps to Surviving Your Divorce.” Nothing Mr. Duck says should be taken seriously as most of the time it is either the booze or the Blogger Tourettes Syndrome doing the speaking.

It will no longer be found at IMAO!
Faggot-o-phobe!
I agree with you Dr. Duck. Personally when referring to those of an alternate lifestyle persuasion, I chose the ever classy “light in the loafers” (LITL) expression” pithy, southern, but not overtly offensive.
I would like to point out that many civilizations (for example the Romans and the English) would burn faggots. I think that…uh…what?
…um, wait a minute…uhuh…uhuh…are you sure?
…uh, I’ve just been informed that one definition for faggot is:
…
…
nevermind.

John Edwards Hopes to Raise ‘Cash

John Edwards’ campaign, reacting to observations by conservative commentator Ann Coulter — among other things, she called the former North Carolina senator and presidential hopeful a “faggot” — is trying to turn it into a rallying point for fundraising, asking supporters to donate $100,000 in “Faggot Cash for More A.”
It was somewhat unclear from the statement on the Edwards campaign Web site what the money would exactly go to, aside from hair-care products, bikini waxing, gay bars and overdue bills for male escort services, but the campaign did address the comments directly under the heading, “Hallelujah! It’s raining men!”
“We must show that attacking leaders like our beloved Breck Boy will only backfire,” the site read. “Long live Edwards, the Silky Pony!”

It all started Friday when Coulter, who put on her little black dress and strapped on a .45 to address the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., said:
“I was going to have a few hair conditioning comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you talk about his Prada pumps or use the word “faggot,” so I — so I’m kind of at an impasse, and can’t really talk about Edwards. Much.”
Members of the audience broke into a standing ovation, and she proceeded to open the floor to questions, reported EditorandPublisher.com
Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce Coulter, calling her remarks “a violation of our inter-party agreement to lay off the little poof.”
“While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on many things, we should all be able to agree that this kind of thing is out of bounds. We thought we had an agreement with you guys. How am I ever going to slide this empty suit Edwards past the public with Coulter bringing attention to him? It’s like expecting Hillary to engage in a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues,” the press release read.

This post is gayer than the one before it.
FAGGOT!
//Faggot seems such a harsh word and can only serve to turn the faggots off//
I don’t know if you’re familiar with the point of being a faggot in the first place, but it would take an awful lot to turn them off. These folks are so obsessed with orgasms, they design their whole life around how to achieve them and you can bet there’s one or two million out there that get off on being called a “faggot” by their partners in crime. Likely, they get off on being offended too. Why do you think libtards act so touchy? They’re having a good time.
How much do you want to bet that Ann could get back in the “good graces” of the blogosphere if she agreed to counselling?
Veeshir,
That would be faggotier, not gayer.
Who is more Gay – Rightwingduck or Frank J? there is a poll for you!
How much do you want to bet that Ann could get back in the “good graces” of the blogosphere if she agreed to counselling?
I’ll bet any amount you want.
The lefty blogs will never let her in their “good graces” (well, except that they love it when she makes them look almost sane)
Righty blogs will excoriate her for pandering. If you’re going to be a lunatic.
Unless her apology is, “Hey, sorry you’re a faggot”. And then, well, all bets are off.
This is one of the most laugh out loud funny things ever posted on this site. Kudos to the author!
Don’t you Faggots have anything better to do than pick on that fudge packer Edwards. Buncha Queers and Rump Rangers, all.
Ann Coulter can’t and shouldn’t reverse herself and here’s why:
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Joker, are you trying to offend me?
Private Joker: Sir, NEGATIVE, sir! Sir, the private belives any answer he gives will be wrong and the Senior Drill Instructor will only beat him harder if he reverses himself, SIR!
I’ve been laughing out loud during the reading of these last few posts about “faggots”. I live in Topeka, KS, home of the “Reverend” Fred Phelps, whose “God Hates Fags” signs, emblazoned with the fluorescent colors of the rainbow, are a common sight around our great State Capital.
Look up the French and Italian words for “bassoon”. Very instructive.
