Phyllis Schlafly: The Problem With Gays? "They Are Trying to Make Us Respect Them"

[davidinalameda]

We here at Daily RFT were reading a somewhat wonkish wire story this weekend about gay marriage when we came across the following bombshell from St. Louisan Phyllis Schlafly, president of the Eagle Forum.

Schalfly, as quoted in the article, believes that the national dialogue about gay marriage proves than an "aggressive well-funded pressure group can achieve goals contrary to what the majority of people want."

"I think same-sex marriage would be a terrible mistake," she adds. "I don't think there are any good arguments for it."

But what really made our jaw drop was the insulting way in which she describes same-sex couples who live together and the fact that homosexuals just can't be admired -- no matter what.

I think she is a terrible mistake; no good arguments for her!

I was hoping she would retire.

5. Sometimes snakes have trouble shedding their old skin....

Guess it must be true for the "mortal coil" for some. They maintain and just keep striking at everyone who enters their path. ;)

12. the trouble with dried up bitches is that they want us to respect

them. how can anyone listen to a witch that has a gay son and talks like this. YOU ARE SLAMMING YOUR OWN SPAWN, YOU SOUR OLD HAGGIS!

3. The Golden Rule can be summed up

into one word -- respect. Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. Jesus said that this commandment was the sum of the other commandments. Schlafly is not only a failure as a Christian, she's a failure as a human being.

4. Uggh.... Schlafly...

Time for her to curl back up into her nighttime coffin "sanctuary."


I have a Match.com pick for her. Congrats, Phyllis! You have been paired with FRED PHELPS! :evilgrin:

6. She'll be gone soon.

And with her will go the stank of her screwy, crackpot bullshit.

7. Not soon enough.

8. Guernsey.

9. That is the point! I have a problem with "Tolerance". It comes from an attitude of superiority.

Everyone should be given respect. Equal respect. Trust, on the other hand should be earned. But common human respect should be given without equivocation.

That is the fact...Jack. Or Phyllis as the case might be.

10. So that's what they are up to? Sneaky gays. nm

11. When you turn the mirror on them it's just a reflection of their

evil souls.

Some religious fanatics just can't be admired -- no matter what.

That's all...

13. What an awful mother she must be. Her son is gay, and she's out there demanding that her son

be treated as a second-class citizen. Seriously she makes me :puke:

14. Honestly I don't want your respect Ms. Schlafly....

I mean I seriously cannot stand your bitch ass so I guess it's only fair you not be able to stand me.
