Miss (Liberal) USA?

Quote:
Apparently, there is a litmus test to be Miss (Liberal) USA these days.

Until the interview round of the contest, Carrie Prejean– who was representing the State of California was the front-runner. She drew a question by celebrity blogger Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr. who posts under the pseudonym Perez Hilton, the “Queen of Mean.”

The question:

“Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”

Prejean’s response:

“We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

The outcome: The front-runner fell to first runner up and Miss North Carolina USA took the crown.

Perez Hilton has since gone on an angry blogging tirade against Prejean’s answer calling her an absolutely reprehensible five-letter word and later an even more unacceptable four-letter word that begins with “c” on a mainstream news network. He later apologized for his remarks, but then retracted his apology. “She lost it because of that question,” he admitted. “She was definitely the front-runner before that.”

Let’s consider the source: Perez Hilton is an openly gay, unstable and unreasonable left-wing blogger who reports on rumors with great braggadocio — not even real news — and often outs closeted gays in the public eye. If he doesn’t have respect for other homosexuals or an individual’s right to privacy why would he have respect for anything else?

When people are arguing for tolerance and equal rights for gays they undermine their own argument when they resort to intolerant, hateful language that shows a complete disrespect for women. Whether you are talking about gay marriage or the price of coffee at Starbucks, it is absolutely unacceptable to use that language about females to advance your argument.

The double standard is astounding.

I didn’t hear the outrage when Joe Biden said that he and Barack Obama are against gay marriage. No incendiary language, no insults, no four letter obscenities.

Why is it acceptable for Obama and Biden to have this opinion but not a conservative female? And where are the women’s rights and feminist groups to speak out against this kind of language? Or gay rights groups to denounce this clown because he does nothing to advance their agenda of tolerance? The same place they were when other females who possessed traditional values or beliefs like Sarah Palin exercised their right to free speech and expressed these views: they’re nowhere to be found.
Miss (Liberal) USA?

Good question.

Good question.
For the last 10 years I've noticed how much bigger the double standard has gotten against conservatives.

Those contests are a joke. The judges are so biased it's pathetic and this Miss USA contest is a perfect example. If you don't spew the liberal agenda, you're out.

The best revenge is success. Maybe the contreversy surrounding her will catapult her into stardum, like Vanessa Williams.

There's even more controversy. She's been threatened with losing her Miss California title for speaking out ABOUT HER OWN opinion.

She's being slammed for her conservative values just like they did to Sarah Palin.

Skip ahead to 2:00. Dude. She’s one of us.

Actually, don’t skip ahead. This clip’s even better than the “Today” segment, especially when she talks about what went through her mind when she was asked the question at the pageant. Hotness is often inversely proportional to sweetness, but this kid is somehow off the charts on both. Good work, mom and dad.

Watch Cavuto try to recruit her for Fox News at the very end. Blonde, beautiful, and conservative: I’d be surprised if Ailes hasn’t signed her already.

Good for her!

I saw while riding my excerise bike that Gretchen Carlson (a former Miss America) has some info from the California State Pageant organization that she's going to share sometime this hour, I think. I can't stick around to watch, have to get ready for work.

Anyway, I saw Miss NC last night on Hannity. She was VERY poised and intelligent. Very confident of her views and very accepting of the way things turned out. She feels she was true to herself in the end & that's, above all else, the most important thing. I think she'll have more than 15 mins. of fame and from the looks of it, will go far in her life.

Certainly we cannot knock the winner , it wasnt her fault that Miss California was asked this question, and indeed her views might match Miss California's.

This whole affair makes me wonder how the judges for such a contest are picked.

We have this California fruitcake being a judge for a beauty contest? The guy is a blogger who's claim to fame is making slanderous and salascious remarks about celebrities. They pick this homosexual piece of waste to judge beauty? He doesnt even like women. Does he decide which is the most beautiful by how much hair they have on their butts, or if they have a mustache?

Most any horny heterosexual man in America is more qualified than this freak. I would even be willing to pay my own way to the contest if they wanted a real judge of feminine pulchritude.

All I know is not only did she pizz off the entire leftist world with her answer, now she is REALLY pizzing them off with her popularity for standing her ground.

I can't wait for what is next. You do know what is next right?

Right now there are lib terrorists scouring every person she ever dated looking for home made porn of Miss California that will be mysteriously leaked to the intardweb.

Perez and his cronies can't wait to put up the headline

"Miss Squeaky clean likes it doggy style and has a nasty gag reflex EXCLUSIVE VIDEO!!"
