The Young Turks were at the Republican National Convention all of last week and we had some interviews that were doozies, but none more entertaining than this. We interviewed Senators, Congressmen, Governors, black Republicans, gay Republicans, etc., etc. And then right at the end of the convention, this guy came up and started yelling about sodomy. He insists he is against it. You be the judge:

61. Question for Botts regarding Barack Obama's cosponsorship of the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006: What exactly did Obama do on this bill, considering there were 90 cosponsors, and the sponsor was Mitch McConnell, the Republican senator from Kentucky? Is this the example of Obama "reaching across the aisle?" Wow, now that's impressive!!

62. Most people who rant and rave about things they think are wrong are seeking support, because they really think it is natural, they just need approval.
The facts about sodomy are biological. Straight or gay, the biology of the male is the same, and during this act the prostate gland is stimulated which causes feelings of pleasure for a man. The prostate gland produces 30% of a man's semen, the other 70% produced by the testicles.
Well, that's biology for today. Perhaps another lession tomorrow. Stay tuned !!

63. Reverend Botts
The champion of the "empty suit". As one of the water boys for Hussein Obama, the best you get is also an empty suit. Thus, from your empty suit comes empty arguements.
PS you have picked up a habit from the noted "draft dodger". You to are now taking a post and like a HS english teacher I had in school, goes through the posting as if they were students papers, and line by line, writes comments in red pencil. Sort of a way of pointing out your superiority over others. The sort of elitism that your leader has. A good Reverend talks to people, does not talk down to people.

64. Left wingnuts continue assault on Sarah Palin even after many turn up as lies. Kos said Palin claimed last child was her's to protect her daughter, who was the mother of the baby. LIE Then that she was part of Political Party that wanted Alaska to leave the Union. LIE

67. "Question for Botts regarding Barack Obama's cosponsorship of the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006: What exactly did Obama do on this bill, considering there were 90 cosponsors, and the sponsor was Mitch McConnell, the Republican senator from Kentucky? Is this the example of Obama "reaching across the aisle?" Wow, now that's impressive!!"
Well David, I don't "exactly" what Obama did. I was asked a question regarding positions about Israel and Palestine. I answered them. If he cosponsored a bill with Republicans, I guess it is what it is.
Even he's done things contrary to the rumors and bullshit, that still doesn't matter with you. Does it? Even if he's a stand up guy and can be a leader here, that doesn't matter with you.
Why bother David? You have your mind made up. I guess you don't like his policies. That's your right. Maybe you don't like his name and his color. That's your right. But don't throw around bullshit that isn't true like you've been doing, as I pointed out yesterday.
When you do that, you give people false impressions of what reality is. In essence, you are doing what the people you follow are doing. And when you do that, you just end up being a retarded dickwad.

Bigot, do you have a problem with me responding to your points, or would you not like me to respond? I'm guessing that when you direct one of your bigoted rants at me, you want my input as well. If not, say so.

69. "Left wingnuts continue assault on Sarah Palin even after many turn up as lies. Kos said Palin claimed last child was her's to protect her daughter, who was the mother of the baby. LIE Then that she was part of Political Party that wanted Alaska to leave the Union. LIE"
Bigoted assholes like Robert continue to spread lies about Barack Obama even thought they've been disproved ages ago. They call him a Muslim, a terrorist, has a fake birth certificate, is corrupt, has been a part of corruption with Rezko, has supported Terrorist activities with Ayers, and is a Racist. LIE's.
However, what Robert fails to mention, is that Mrs. Palin's husband HAS been part of the AIP which is Anti-American. Take that for what you will. Don't go around calling Michelle Obama anti-American and not Todd Palin. Be consistent, not hypocrites.
"It is rumored that the left wingnuts are having second thoughts about pushing the following stories, and want to double check them to see if they are really true."
That's all your good for Robert......Rumors. Bigoted jerk.

70. Okane,
I'm not a reverend, and you know this. As your own friends on here have pointed out, the more you do this, the more your credibility goes down the toilet.

71. I think homosexuality is just plain "weak". I mean, come on...vagina is where it's at, not the anus (I could care LESS about female homosexuality, because the act of sappho has nothing to do with me...literally). But, hey, whatever...

74. I'm gay and just had performed sodomy. I've been gay all of my life. Believe me, I WAS BORN GAY! When I began puberty, I was never attracted to females sexually. I was not sexually molested or abused whatsoever either. So, I can assure anyone reading this that GAY humans CAN and ARE BORN that way. Argument? Try being me.

75. I dont even think cenk understood anything this guy was saying. if he would stop and listen what hes saying makes sense.why does he care what gay people do? why does anybody carE what prostitutes and drug addicts and all other criminals do? because it dosent belong in public its not normal like being a criminal is not normal. like being a prostitute is not normal.yes you can say well it doesnt hurt anybody but that doesnt mean its right. a child seeing a gay couple when the child grew up thinkin you should be with the opposite sex is trauma. thats a scar not easily healed. if thats what you want to do than do it freedom of will, but dont shove it down everybody elses throat that doesnt want it around them. its an epidemic just like aids or any other sickness thats wide spread. people looking for an easy way out of whatever trauma or phsycological defects they have that make them feel they need to be different. thats all it is pleasing the needs of the flesh just like an addict loves drugs.people confuse normal, normal is not doing what everybody else does or even what feels right. normal is doing what is INSTINCTIVELY right in every human.when you step out of that instict thats programed into your brain and start thinking with your body thats what happens. you do things that please your body but are bad for your being. Born gay i dont think so, born with more feminent genes sure. but how that person is treated has a lot to with what they choose to become later in life. the treatment of others that forms your character takes place before you could even remeber if you were born gay. maybe we should learn to protect nurture and love our treasures today (our kids) so they dont become our societies nighmares tommorrow.
