Miss California: Queen of the GOP

Miss California may have lost her shot at becoming Miss USA after expressing her opposition to same-sex marriage but she’s nevertheless emerged as a star.

After getting booed by the beauty pageant crowd and berated by one of the contest judges Sunday, Carrie Prejean is suddenly a conservative sensation, a poster girl for the right who has bloggers, talk show hosts and Republican pols singing her praises.

Prejean’s beauty contest saga began Sunday when competition judge and openly gay blogger Perez Hilton asked her if she supports gay marriage.

“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,” she responded during the televised event. “No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

Her response wasn’t exactly what Hilton—or the crowd—was expecting. Prejean ultimately finished as the first runner-up in the competition to Miss North Carolina, who drew a less combustible question about taxpayer bailouts. In an interview the next day with NBC “Today Show” host Matt Lauer, Prejean said she knew she wasn’t going to win the moment she answered.


<<<<snip>>>>>>

An Alabama state legislator introduced a House resolution praising her for speaking out against gay marriage. In a press release, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins stated his “admiration and support” for her and lauded “her fortitude in the face of continued baseless personal attacks.”

“There’s a lot of people cheering you tonight that you stood on your principles, that you put the principles above winning,” Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity told Prejean when she appeared on his television program. “Not enough people do that. And I admire you a lot for it.”

In the right-wing blogosphere, where the consensus was that her opposition to gay marriage cost her the Miss USA title, conservatives depicted Prejean as a role model worth emulating.

“Miss California Carrie Prejean’s act of courage - in the face of tremendous pressure to spout the liberal line - serves as a fine example for young and more seasoned conservative politicians,” wrote Mark Impomeni on the popular RedState blog. “First be true to your beliefs, and let the chips fall where they may. When they do, they should know that conservatives of like mind across the country will stand up for them.”

“I would like to nominate Miss California as the new face of the marriage movement. Much better than mine!” wrote National Organization for Marriage President Maggie Gallagher on National Review’s The Corner.

1. Is Joe the Tax Cheat married? Seems like this could be a match made in

Karma

[LynneSin]

2. only if we can sterlize both of them first - I don't want those 2 ever breeding

:cry:

[havocmom]

3. LOL good point

Perhaps we could sneak some hormones in their water and, uh, inhibit some normal processes?

[Aethertek]

14. Breeding

"Perhaps we could sneak some hormones in their water and, uh, inhibit some normal processes?"

An idea I have been pushing for years, but for all humans.
I'm thinking something that can be aerosolized & introduced into the entire population.
Only those that can pass a basic IQ & personality test are then allowed to breed.

Before everyone starts crying about human rights, a human should know better than to breed indiscriminately.
To breed unchecked is not a human right but an animal right, as the beasts of the fields know no better.
So are you a higher primate or a chattering chimp.

Yes yes I'm slightly misanthropic.

Peace

16. Mother Nature takes care of species that overpopulate. Non-human animals, in cooperation

with nature, do NOT consciously commit suicide by destroying their habitats.

[Aethertek]

25. Intervention

The human species is long past overpopulated, time for some intervention.
Besides natural disasters always effect the least amongst you, not necessarily the worst amongst you.
Your good mother is far too indiscriminate & slow.

Just imagine, too greedy no offspring, too stupid no offspring, too religiously crazy no offspring,
ahh this rock would be a much nicer place.

Ok, ok a beast can dream can't he.

Peace

[lame54]

8. He'd be thinking about Sarah the whole time

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Michael Phelps is fucking her.

See what smoking pot does to you?

[Beacool]

4. She would not have become a poster queen for the anti gay marriage crowd

if Perez Hilton hadn't overreacted and behaved like a jerk. No one would have remembered this chick if Perez hadn't gone on his rant.

x(

[gauguin57]

5. Bigoted bimbo meets nasty gossip boy, facilitated by George W's pinheaded cousin Billy.

What a freak show. They could all have been in the wedding party at the Minnelli-Gest wedding.

[Beacool]

12. Hmmmm, it might make a good reality show.

The cat fights alone would be legendary!!!

:rofl:

[monmouth]

6. That POS Hilton has problems down here in Florida (he has a home

in Palm Beach Gardens. Go to www.pbpost.com and read Jose Lambiet's column. Seems a man wrote a private e-mail to Perez berating him, unfortunately referred to him as a "little fag" and Hilton published the letter on his blog. Now the guy who wrote the letter is up in arms, wants to sue, etc. Hilton is hated down here...

[Beacool]

10. He likes to be controversial and sometimes it backfires.

I have more gay friends that I can shake a stick at and most think that he's a joke.

The girl is a ditz, but she had a right to her opinion without Perez going on a rant and calling her a B****. He only ended up garnering support for the girl. Now she's more famous than the actual winner.

:eyes:

[monmouth]

30. The sad thing is that people will think he's representative of gays and

he most certainly is not. My gay friends are so classy, funny, smart and kind. Someone needs to tone him down....

[Beacool]

34. I know what you mean.

Two of my good friends have been a couple for far longer than some of my straight friends. They always make a point of taking me out on the day of my birthday and this past Monday was no exception. We always have a great time. They are witty, well educated, smart and a lot of fun to be around (they also come in handy when I need something heavy to be moved around the house).

I love them like brothers. The only drawback is that they can spot a cute guy a mile away, before I even notice him. You have to move fast around these two. LOL!!!

:7

[ronnykmarshall]

40. Trust me ...

Most gay people hate his ass.

[Beacool]

45. Thought so...........

:hi:

[SoxFan]

68. Perez Hilton is a bigot's idea of what gays are like

He's a bufoonish caricature who does far more harm than he realizes.

[Scurrilous]

13. Remember this one:

The Truth Will Come Out (August 24, 2007)

"We stand by our story 100%.

Fidel Castro is dead!

The only way the Cuban government can settle this once and for all, though, is to parade him (alive) around Havana this weekend. No pictures or video!"

http://perezhilton.com/?p=4403


LOL

What a tool.

[ronnykmarshall]

39. ANOTHER ONE??

There's a women sueing him too.

[karynnj]

15. I agree

The question was a trap - either way. Had she added that, of course gay civil unions should have al the rights of marriage", her opinion would be identical to what both Obama and Biden said last year. (Or what Kerry said in 2004 - in fact, Kerry, in stressing that he wanted legislation giving civil unions full federal rights was the first nominee to do so.)

It is only very recently that any mainstream politicians said gays should be able to marry. I disagree with her answer and think that "opposite" marriage is a strange name and that an individual does not choose one or the other, but I think this as unfair a question as asking if you agreed with abortion - which would lead part of the right to label a liberal a "babykiller" That rhetoric, on either side, hurts the country.

The fact is that she is likely to be more an asset to the right than Joe the Plumber as she likely is what she said she is.

[Beacool]

19. I had no problem with her answer.

I don't happen to agree with her, but she wasn't calling them immoral or trying to be rude. She just does not to believe in gay marriage and she has a right to her opinion.

Perez's reaction was way over the top and unwarranted.

;(

[CTLawGuy]

66. I agree

I also think questions about controversial political issues have no place in Miss USA-since the effect is only to alienate the contestant with one side or the other.

[ronnykmarshall]

38. I hate that fucker.

Now he thinks he's the next Harvey Milk. He and Miss Cal need to take a walk on the Santa Moncia pier and jump

[NYC_SKP]

7. She was asked a question, she gave an honest answer.

It was a bullshit question, IMO, for a beauty pageant, but I guess that's the risk one takes entering one of these.

Should they also have asked her how she feels about Palestine and Israel?

It's all bullshit, both sides are making political hay out of this and she's in the middle.

[Beacool]

11. Poochie, how you been??????????????

How do you like the competition (Bo)?

:pals:

[NYC_SKP]

18. Beacoooooo!

Competition?

There is no competition!

A scruffy cute lap dog that talks to you versus a crazy (but loveable) bundle of energy?

Different categories!

:hi:

[Beacool]

20. I see..................

There's room for everyone in the big pooch tent.

Hugs!!!

:hug:

[T Wolf]

17. She gave an honest BIGOTTED answer, displaying her prejudices as well as her ignorance and stupidity

to the world.

She deserves NO sympathy - only condemnation for hating her fellow man (and woman).

[NYC_SKP]

22. That's what she fucking believes. Call it what you want.

If she was raised by bigots, it's a bigoted answer, but it's what she believes.

I'm sure you're without prejudice of any kind, pure as the driven snow in this regard?

She gave an honest answer to a loaded trap question.

I don't have to agree with her to see the bullshit of the question and the politicization of her honest reply.

You wrote: "She deserves NO sympathy - only condemnation for hating her fellow man (and woman)."

Now I'm feeling sorry for your narrow-minded compassionless attitude about people who my be ignorant but who are not evil.

There may be hope for her.

For you, I'm not so sure.

You need to calm down and think it over. You're enjoying your HATE a little too much.

Good day, Sir.

[lewiston]

64. Ya gotta be careful

One sould be careful whom one calls bigoted, since our prez has expressed almost the exact same position on gay marriage as she did.

[Dappleganger]

21. "That's how I was raised" is not a supported answer.

If she had turned that in on an English report in school it would have been crossed out in red by the teacher (if I was still teaching).

[NYC_SKP]

23. It's a beauty pagent, not "Meet the Press".

It was a bullshit question designed to elicit an provocative answer and thus feed the news cycle and drive up ratings.

My only point is that she was put on the spot and gave an honest answer.

[Drunken Irishman]

36. Bottom line: The question shouldn't have been asked.

And Hilton asked it knowing full well he'd get that answer. He wanted to make this an issue for HIS personal gain, not that of the GLBT movement.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. The questions were pre-screen by the pagent.

And YES Pigboy asked it nothing but for his own personal gain.

[Hellataz]

31. Her answer wasn't just bigoted, it was extremely incoherent..."opposite marriage" WTF?

Some may or may not like Perez Hilton, but He's not to blame. he asked a valid question, a news and politics driven question which most of the questions given to the contestants are, and she fell on her face trying to answer it. It showed she lack of grace and intelligence under pressure.

This wasn't all about her personal beliefs on marriage, this was about how she answered the entire question. She knew nothing about the law, she rambled on about "opposite marriage" and gay marriage being a "choice" all over our country.. She came off highly ignorant, not just because she doesn't believe in gay marriage, but because she isn't educated about issue at all and shouldn't have tried to pretend she was.

And if you really break down her answer you'll see she was also disingenuous. At first trying to seem supportive and ok with gay marriage but later stating she was against it. She was trying to play to the middle instead of taking a stance either way. So not only was she ignorant but also fake as hell.

[NYC_SKP]

35. Maybe she's just not very bright.

Bigotry thrives on stupidity and ignorance.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. yup. she also clearly does not know the laws of her country. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. yeah poor little widdle idiot bigot, my heart goes out to her.

:eyes:

[NYC_SKP]

53. To hate the sinner instead of the sin or what causes her to feel this way...

Is really not productive.

If you saw her would you call her names?

Would this cause her to be more understanding of your point of view?

Hate hate hate only begets more hate.

Instead of considering that the roots of the answers she honestly gave are the ignorance of her parents, community, church, etc., and trying to address these in a productive way, some would prefer to just strike out at her.

That attitude and behavior can only make her and those like her more firm in their twisted beliefs.

I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

:shrug:

[JI7]

55. NO, sometimes a bigot is just a bigot, MOST young people support same sex marriage

the issue is on our side.

she isn't some old person who grew up in more conservative times and didn't have much contact with different people. she even said her sister was a gay rights activist.

no excuses other than she is a bigot.

[NYC_SKP]

56. You should travel more.

Folks in some parts of all fifty states are living in the past.

She's a bigot, but that doesn't mean she can't be enlightened.

What do you want to do, waterboard her?

I'm just glad that the haters are not representative of the group, and this is true of every group.

The haters are just more vocal.

[JI7]

57. she is the one who hates gays , and i just want to ridicule her and her type

she is the one whoring herself on Hannity and a bunch of other shitty right wing shows. she isn't some person who was just out in the streets and asked a question .

just like that piece of shit joe the plumber who whores himself to spread his ignorance.

[NYC_SKP]

59. I don't know if she said she hates gays.

I think, like so many of her ilk, she parrots the family talking points.

She probably never gave it that much thought, spending time on grooming and pageants.

That question probably came as a surprise to her, it did to me.

Now Joe the Plumber, there's a deliberate asshole-- going out of his bloody way to be hateful.

[JI7]

60. since the beauty contest, she has been going on Hannity and other right wing shows

she has complained she lost for speaking her mind and other shit.

if she had just gone away i might not care much.

[NYC_SKP]

61. Oh? I didn't know that.

I've been traveling, just home late last night.

I didn't know she'd taken her act on the road.

That's quite a different matter.

I can forgive someone caught in an ambush question, but these additional appearances are totally elective on her part.

Shame on her, hateful idiot.

[Honeycombe8]

58. I agree. She just gave her personal view. And since gay marriage is still illegal...

in most states, it's not fair to call her a bigot because several states HAVE legalized it.

There was a way for her to answer the question directly w/o giving her personal views, but she chose not to go that route, or she didn't think of it. In any case, she's just a young beauty contestant who answered a question in accordance with how her parents raised her. And apparently most other people in CA feel the same way, since they voted to ban gay marriage?

Perez Hilton, in his shameful juvenile rantings, has set back the gay marriage movement in that state about five years, I figure. Sorry, the beauty contestant has come out on top (so to speak) on this one. In the end, it doesn't really matter WHAT her views are, after all.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

70. Several states has anti-miscegentation laws or separate but equal laws. The people that supported

that crap were *still* bigots, even it if was state sanctioned bigotry.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

69. She's an adult and she needs to own her decision. If she had said that there should be separate

facilities for black and white customers at a restaurant, she would have been kicked around for that too.

What can you say? People don't like bigots.

[lame54]

9. It's not her stance on gay marriage they like...

It's her inability to speak coherently

[Hellataz]

33. Exactly they like that "Folksy" speak

If you sound articulate you're just an elitists liberal. So Whatsername (I refuse to call her Miss Cal) is perfect for them.

[dkf]

24. Please explain to me the difference between her view and President Obama's view on gay marriage.

Maybe you should be calling him a bigot too?

[jenmito]

26. She didn't say gay couples should be allowed to have all the legal rights of straight couples...

nor did she say she believed in civil unions. And she is stupid-she thinks we have a choice in "her" country between "same-sex marriage and 'opposite marriage'."

[dkf]

28. That wasn't the question.

It was specifically on gay marriage and she has the same view as a majority of California voters.

I don't agree with her but this vilification of people who don't believe the same way as I do on social issues makes me cringe.

[jenmito]

29. I don't agree with her, either, but I don't believe she should be vilified, either...

she gave her opinion to a question, even though she sounded stupid in the way she answered. :shrug:

[dkf]

63. She was trying to tap dance around it.

She knew she lost the crown right there.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. I haven't got a problem with that.

I mean, if there had been a better candidate than Obama who was in favor of gay marriage, I'd have voted for him instead.

I mean, it's not like Miss Whatshername's competitors were all crazy old bigots like John McCain.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. good point. nt

[Hellataz]

32. He doesn't sound like a babbling idiot when talking about this issue...for one.

He also is more educated on this issue and despite his personal views which may or may not be his views, he still wants to work towards giving the gay community equal rights.

He opposed Prop 8, No doubt Miss bigot obviously did not.

He knows there's no such thing as "opposite marriage", she does not

He knows that being gay is not a choice and he knows gay marriage is not a choice all of this country has. She however does not.

He can give a coherent answer under pressure. She can not.

Those are the differences.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. obama and other democratic politicians including hrc are bigots on gay marriage

[depakid]

47. The two have something in common: both are dumber than a sack of rocks

though "Joe" is probably a bit less abashed and more articulate about his stupidity. But just barely.

[Blue_Tires]

48. Donald Trump has to be loving this

the Miss USA producers are probably already thinking of ways to make next year more 'edgy'...Ratings next year could triple! from a 1.5 to a 4.5....

[kaygore]

49. Why does the "Right" embrace idiots? This girl is inarticulate!

[Sebastian Doyle]

67. They embrace idiots to keep the idiot vote.

Yes I'm serious. The reason that people like Chimp and Sarah Palin are so popular with the Freeper types is because they're so fucking stupid. Taking a page directly from the Hitler/Goebbels propaganda manual, the reich wingers have convinced them that intellectualism in any form is "bad".

Bill Clinton - Rhodes scholar - BAD.
Chimpy Bush - Yale Legacy with a "gentleman's C average" who can't speak coherent English - GOOD
Barack Obama - Harvard Law graduate - BAD.
Sarah Palin - changed schools 6 times before finally getting a degree in "sports journalism", talks like a 6 year old. - GOOD

Thom Hartmann & Rachel Maddow - BAD
Hannity & SavageWeiner - GOOD

Idiocy is what sells to freepers. Physically attractive idiots, even more so (see FAUX Noize "anchors"). They will definitely make this bigoted idiot the next reich wing superstar.

[opihimoimoi]

50. Prolly run for Office soon...the GOP would jump at the op//Prejean/Palin

The GOP are suckers for hotties

[laureloak]

51. Why don't you leave her alone? She's a young girl

who is just now forming her opinions of the world around her. Let her be.

[rucky]

52. Looks like California found themselves a new governor.

[WCGreen]

54. Another Anita Bryant....

[ecstatic]

62. Palin/Plumber '12; Jindal/Steele '16; Prejean/Hasselbeck '24

Meanwhile, we can sit back and enjoy the fun. :crazy:

[underpants]

65. She is PERFECT for them. Even her name "Prejean" has a dirty little tint to it

This is how Fox News survived at the beginning-putting hot blondes on showing leg.
