Miss California may be "pretty" on the outside -- but she is definitely ugly on the inside

[FLAprogressive]

What hateful bigot.

[MrModerate]

1. Details? n/t

[muntrv]

2. She said "In MY country, marriage is between a man and a woman."

This was in response to her opinion of gay marriage.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

8. She owns a country? How cool is that?? n /t

[Liberal_in_LA]

44. lol n/t

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. It's true

In the Valley Of The Flaming Assholes, marriage IS between a man and a woman.

You didn't know that?

Ha.

[underpants]

18. It cost her the title according to Perez Hilton who was a judge

Miss Calif: Gay marriage answer cost me Miss USA crown
http://www.newsday.com/iphone/ny-etmiss2112675670apr20,0,7238621.story

Miss California says candor cost her the crown in Sunday's Miss USA competition.

Carrie Prejean, 21, probably knew she was in trouble when she acknowledged her opposition to same-sex marriages in response to a question from openly gay judge Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger.

"In my country, and in my family, I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," Prejean replied. Later, she lost to Miss North Carolina.

"It did cost me my crown," Prejean said of her response, on Monday's "Billy Bush Show." "I wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that's all I can do."

In an appearance Monday on MSNBC, Hilton said he was absolutely "shocked and incredibly frustrated and disappointed" with Prejean's stance.

"That's not the kind of woman I want to be Miss USA," he said. "Miss USA should represent all Americans and, with her answer, she instantly alienated millions of gays and lesbians and their friends."

Earlier, Hilton had said on his video blog he would have run onstage and ripped the tiara off Prejean's head had she won the title.

[FLAprogressive]

20. good for him

[jmg257]

58. Did he actually call her "the B word", and say he thought about calling her the "c word"??? n/t

[Medusa]

64. Yep and Yep. n/t

[roguevalley]

85. I go up and down with Paris but I am happy as a clam with him on

this. what an ass she is. racism is taught in a lot of homes and is that a good thing? Was slavery? Apparently you can't grow and change about evil things according to her. Sad old cow.

[Warpy]

21. It's nice to know being a homophobic bigot costs

somebody something besides my good opinion.

Nothing is less beautiful than bigotry.

[underpants]

27. She lost, not because she doesn't believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she's a dumb

She lost, not because she doesn't believe in gay marriage. Miss California lost because she's a dumb --, OK?"

http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/ny-ethilt2012674458apr19,0,3248080.story

[yodoobo]

80. hard to say.. She make may out big over this

She lost the crown, but now she is the darling of the right.

I imagine that Fox news will be throwing lots of contracts and attention her way.

Kinda like Joe the lowlife plumber.

He had no shot of making $250,00 pretending to be a plumber, but now he is all over the media, with various engagements and is probably doing well financially now.

sometimes crazy is profitable.

[Yukari Yakumo]

86. She'll be Palin's running mate. {nt}

[hatrack]

33. And now, she gets to feel aaaaaaaaaaallll righteously persecuted!

Who knows, maybe an autobiography or a Xtian radio drama is next!!!

[glitch]

60. Perhaps the GOP will run her for President in 2012

Yet another sign of the apocalypse.

[Medusa]

65. How long before Fox News hires her?

She's exactly what they like: young, blonde, and stupid.

[glitch]

68. I am sure the salary discussions have already begun. nt

[wolfgangmo]

57. But at least she gets to keep her persecuted meme

After all the ONLY reason she lost the contest is because she stood up for her beliefs.

Just like Bull Connor. Sniff. It makes me weepy for the good old days when my great great grandpappy helped out on the norther leg of the underground railroad. Good times.

[fortyfeetunder]

29. I was wondering if she meant "state"

It was painfully apparent she was not coached on how to answer questions, especially those of a controversial nature.

[lbrtbell]

41. But if she had a decent bone in her body,

she wouldn't need to be coached to give a decent answer.

What a bigoted airhead!

[pnwmom]

32. That's why she can't be Miss USA. She should represent the country she came from. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

35. Is she Iranian?

Or Polish or Turkish?

[MrModerate]

52. Thanks . . . I later found the clip.

A bimbo, of course, but less mindless than a lot of her peers in the amateur tits-and-ass biz. At least she realized that she had to acknowledge that some people see the issue differently. She fumbled the answer, but I don't think she was on the shortlist as anyone's speechwriter.

[FLAprogressive]

3. She doesn't support gay marriage.

[paulsby]

11. neither does obama

nor did clinton

[doctor jazz]

13. And they're bigots too.

Not news.

[paulsby]

23. i just rarely see the pile on

obama or clinton as bigots whereas some frigging beauty contest contestant is slagged willy nilly for the same position.

fwiw, i support gay marriage. i am not going to call clinton or obama a bigot because they differ from me on this, but i certainly respect your opinion

[doctor jazz]

24. I wasn't trying (well not real hard) to be cynical but the simple fact is that anyone who

thinks we gay people don't deserve totally equal rights and legal privileges is a bigot. It's not rocket science (I know this because I actually am a rocket scientist)
...

[Skittles]

51. not sure if they're bigots because it may be pure politics

but they surely have no courage

[paulsby]

55. i have more respect for the beauty contestant than somebody playing politics

she was at least apparently honest in stating her beliefs, and consequences be damned.

that deserves MORE respect than somebody who takes the same policy position as her, but does it for political reasons.

*if* obama truly believes in gay marriage, then he should advocate for it.

he already won for fuck's sake.

[Skittles]

89. I agree, absolutely

[spanone]

4. she looks like a plastic doll to me...

[provis99]

12. I second that.

Looks like the stereotype of the overly-processed, plastic surgery endowed California blonde bimbo. Ick.

[pnwmom]

31. Me, too. Nothing special about her appearance. n/t

[geckosfeet]

5. Yeah? Have seen her? IMO she ain't so pretty on the outside.

[FLAprogressive]

7. I don't consider her pretty either....hence the quotes around "pretty".

[ContinentalOp]

45. OMG, I just watched the video

I'm sure she's younger than me but damn if she doesn't remind me of my 55 year old overly tanned and bleached blonde aunt.

[Avalux]

6. I always hated the hollow chocolate Easter Bunnies as a kid.

Looked good on the outside but there was nothing on the inside.

[havocmom]

22. after watching that video on the news, I figure she could be governor

of Alaska.

[flvegan]

10. I'm glad that bigot fuck lost.

Fuck her.

On edit: and she isn't remotely pretty. The ugly bleeds inside out.

[doctor jazz]

16. She probably ought to think about

[MrSlayer]

14. I don't expect beauty queens to be all that intelligent.

There is a the rare exception but mostly these girls have gotten by on their looks and never had to learn anything. The lack of critical thinking makes them susceptible to this sort of brainwashing. I'm not surprised.

[Maru Kitteh]

46. Good to know that you've personally known enough of them to form a grounded opinion

probly not, eh?

Just because a woman is genetically endowed and in a competition (often for scholarship money) does not mean she is deserving of your dismally biased expectations. Truth be known, she probably doesn't give a shit what you "expect."

[MrSlayer]

49. Truth be known, I don't give a shit either.

Just throwing my two cents in like everyone else. I'd guess more people would agree with me than not. Not that that matters either. Who cares what anyone thinks about anything really?

[Toucano]

15. She's a bigot for sure.

Before the gay marriage question she was talking about being a basketball player and said something like, "Yeah, it's so unusual."

Like no one would believe she plays basketball because she's either a.) too pretty or b.) not a lesbian.

I don't have the exact quote, but she's a right-wing nutzo for sure.

[Rowdyboy]

17. In "her country" she's Daddy's little angel and Mommy's sunshine....

Those other people can choose between same-sex marriage and opposite marriage all they want and it won't change her life one bit!

[liberalmuse]

19. She doesn't seem to be all too bright.

And it sounded as if she were repeating drivel she had been taught, most likely from her parents, without really thinking about what she was saying.

[doctor jazz]

25. Some people don't have maps

:eyes:

[depakid]

36. No one who's very bright makes a statement like that in this sort of context

:rofl:

[applegrove]

26. The opposite of Susan Boyle. I still wonder how the freepers feel about Susan Boyle. If they

have any humanity that can be touched by a story like Susan's.

[The_Commonist]

28. Watch it yourself...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XMvviFbkf0&feature=related

[blue_onyx]

30. The worst thing she said was...

"no offense to anyone." Yeah, gays don't deserve the same rights as straight people and they shouldn't be offended? How stupid can a person be.

[hatrack]

34. But was she talking about US Americans, or was it all about The Iraq?

:evilgrin:

[dustbunnie]

37. Hahaha... those who are paid to be beautiful say what you want them to say.

The ugly aren't that much better, they want to kill everyone, not just the stupid.

[bumblebee1]

38. Answer. It was more like a non-answer to me.

Her opening statement sounded like she was about to do more skating around than Michelle Kwan did in two Olympics.

[Algorem]

39. today's beauty queens seem to lack the intellectual heft of those back in the day

[MrMickeysMom]

40. I hear that her favorite color is "clear"

[Gormy Cuss]

42. That's Miss California USA. Miss California competes in the Miss America pageant.

The difference may matter to Miss California.
http://www.misscalifornia.org/cbSite/9MissCalifornia.html

[MindPilot]

43. She's a graduate of San Diego Christian College.

with a BS in Bimbology.

Good thing she didn't get an evolution question.

[LisaL]

47. Obama doesn't support gay marriage either.

[dkf]

48. She voted as did more than half of California.

Yet they get no grief. I find it all fascinating who we decide to condemn and who we don't.

[galaxy21]

67. the double standard pisses me off

What if she had said up there "like President Obama, I am not a supporter of gay marriage." what would people have said then?

I also found it kind of weird how everyone was out to get the prop 8 donors, but convenietly forgot about the 52% of Californians who also supported prop 8, but just didn't give money. I never heard Tom Hanks talking shit about half of California either.

I support gay marriage, but seriously, there's stuff on this board that really pisses me off. Mainly how a beauty queen's opinion of gay marriage is suddenly more important than the president or vice president's view.

[Raine]

50. I'm ashamed that this "thing"

represented my state. :puke: x(

Edit: typo

[polichick]

53. Just another brainwashed Christian.

[spoony]

75. Sounds like Miss California USA isn't the only one

with a prejudice problem.

[polichick]

83. It's not prejudice, in either case...

I was commenting on her background (family & school), and also giving her the benefit of the doubt ~ imo she's brainwashed, not hateful.

[mwb970]

54. I found her to be "plastic" rather than "pretty".

She looks absolutely, completely phony and fake in the short clip I saw. Lipstick, teeth, makeup, everything looked like plastic to me, and not at all attractive. The Japanese are making robots that look more and more like people, whereas we are making people that look more and more like robots! Maybe we'll meet in the middle someplace.

When I first heard her answer on gay marriage, I thought "What was the purpose of such a question anyway? Why ask this girl that question?" Then I suddenly realized, that's not the issue! The fact is, the whole event was so stupid, contrived and phony from top to bottom that it really doesn't matter what they asked anyone.

Who watches these things anyway?

:eyes:

[SoxFan]

56. "Here she is, Miss Saudi Arabia..."

[AwakeAtLast]

59. I thought it was pretty nervy of her to claim that her comments cost her the crown

whether Perez Hiltion said it or not. Did they poll the entire judging panel? There could be other things that pulled her point total down.

And of course her "controversy" is stealing the publicity from the actual winner!

[galaxy21]

61. So, I guess Obama is a hateful bigot as well?

Look, everyone can complain about her, but her views are not extremist or fringe. In fact, she seems to echo the views of the majority. So, why this is a big deal, I'm not sure.

If Perez was going to ask such a politically charged, personal question, he should have been ready for an answer that he wouldn't like.

[Maven]

63. The majority where?

The majority in NYS, for example, supports equal marriage according to a new poll.

Why are you here talking about "the majority" as if that makes it right? "The majority" in the 60s supported segregation (certainly in the south). Did that mean supporting segregation wasn't bigoted and wrong?

And Obama's position on this issue is, in fact, bigoted and discriminatory.

[galaxy21]

70. "And Obama's position on this issue is, in fact, bigoted and discriminatory"

But yet there's a huge thread over what some bimbo beauty queen thinks (and she's not at all important in the long run)and no-one's even mentioning that the guy everyone happily elected feels the exact same. The hypocrisy is stunning.

"The majority in NYS, for example, supports equal marriage according to a new poll.

Why are you here talking about "the majority" as if that makes it right? "The majority" in the 60s supported segregation (certainly in the south). Did that mean supporting segregation wasn't bigoted and wrong?"

I'm not saying it makes it right. But it doesn't make it shocking either. So, why everyone is acting like she said something totally out there is beyond me.

Also, I was referring to the majority on a national level.

[Maven]

76. You're right. It is hypocritical.

I'd be the first one to agree that Democrats ought to start calling out their own leaders on bigoted positions.

[Reterr]

66. "but her views are not extremist or fringe"

Which is a problem with our nation. Views like this should be extremist and fringe.
I don't normally like to state something in such absolute terms, but this one is REALLY a no-brainer, like the evolution vs creationism debate.

Being against gay marriage is fucking stupid. It is completely idiotic to have to be PC about such stupid, stupid beliefs. Two gay people getting married is in no way the business of anyone else.

Don't like gay marriage? Don't have one...
Last I checked gay marriage advocates were not trying to get these "opposite marrying" types forcibly gay married. They are free to "opposite" marry other low IQ, fundamentalist bigots like themselves last I checked.

[galaxy21]

72. "Views like this should be extremist and fringe"

Rightly or wrongly, at present, they aren't. Even to the point no major democratic politician (with the exception of Kristen Gillibrand and a few others) will come out in support. So, why is what she is saying so contraversial?

And like I said, why are people so preoccupied with what some beauty queen has to say? Who cares? Or is she just an easier target than all the high profile democrats who don't support gay marriage? Or the 52% of Californians that voted for prop 8?

[Reterr]

62. About as intelligent as the typical anti-gay marriage moron too

"Opposite marriage"...:eyes:. Wtf is opposite marriage?

I suppose I have to give her props for coming up with something so uniquely moronic and special. I had never heard of "opposite marriage" before...

[Bonobo]

[WI_DEM]

71. The thing is she will in the end profit from this. She will become an icon on the right and

as some have already suggested get some kind of TV job on FAUX.

[pamela]

73. She's rumored to be dating Michael Phelps.

I realize that's not relevant to this thread. I just thought it was an interesting tidbit.

[Catherine Vincent]

74. Are those pageants still televised?

Nevermind.

[RedCappedBandit]

77. I love how she uses her "opinion" as justification for pure bigotry

[galaxy21]

78. You could say the same for Obama

In fact, every insult thrown at her in this thread, could apply to almost every major democrat (with a few exceptions.) So, why people keep villifying her is beyond me because she feels the same way guys like Biden and Obama do.


I'm sorry, and I'm not out to get anyone, but it's ridiculous that people are still making a big deal out of one (not very bright) woman's comments. Do I agree with her? No. But does it make any difference to me how she feels? Not really. Unless, she runs for office one day, who cares?

[RedCappedBandit]

84. I could, and I would

Calling out the wrong person ;)

[LisaL]

90. Well she makes an easy target. As opposed to, let's say, Obama,

who doesn't support gay marriage either. But for whatever reason, Obama hasn't been called the same names this woman has been called.

[Pool Hall Ace]

79. Do you think that she could have saved herself if she had

said something like, "Even though I personally believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, civil rights should not be denied to anyone and the decision to legalize gay marriage should be up to the states."

[Blue Belle]

81. There isn't a whole lot of "there" there.

Sad that this is a standard of beauty some people aspire to.

[AzDar]

82. She apparently supports something called 'opposite marriage'.

Which would to me, mean divorce.:crazy:

Good gawd.

[noamnety]

87. Was Perez Hilton's outrage over her patriarchal bigotry

before or after he rated her ass as she paraded about in a bathing suit?

Perez Hilton - profiting from sexism while whining about homophobia - and too dull-witted to see the connections.

[Imagevision]

91. Perez Hilton later vowed to go up on stage and rip the crown off her head if she won

Surprised no-one asked contestant's views on Casey Anthony killing her daughter?

[JerseygirlCT]

88. I agree

though I'm not sure I could really find the pretty on the outside, either, behind all that makeup.
