Not kidding: NOM calls Miss California 'Queen Esther'

[ccharles000]

At some point, these folks at the National Organization for Marriage need to take a look at the image they are projecting. A large slice of America thinks they are engaging in bible-beating *sshattery and this e-blast does nothing to change the rep.

Dear Jane,

I have so much good news to tell you about marriage.

Good news? On a week that started with Miss California losing her dream of the Miss America crown--just because she thinks, like you and me and the Main Street majority--that marriage means a man and a woman?

Yes!

Let's start with Miss California. Think about it. At the exact moment when media is pushing one main manufactured message point--give up, despair, the younger generation is on our side, you have no hope--what happens?

A gorgeous 21-year-old beauty queen is asked in a split second to choose, as Maggie Gallagher writes, between the truth and the tiara, between her convictions and the crown, between courage and capitulation.

It was, as a San Diego pastor friend of mine put it, a real "Queen Esther" moment for Carrie. Her faith was tested and she passed with flying colors--she showed the whole world the crown that she is really seeking, didn't she? How many others are taking inspiration from that moment--taking renewed courage to show our convictions--to act to support marriage?

1. Offensive on a number of levels.

[MrPerson]

2. I would nom on Miss California.

[valerief]

3. What's a Queen Esther moment? What does that mean? nt

[ccharles000]

4. I don't know

[RoyGBiv]

11. Queen Esther ...

In the Book of Esther, Queen Esther had to choose between her own safety and saving the Jews of Persia from slaughter.

Just one of those bizarre biblical thingies these idiots come up with all the time.

Fake Boobs McGee not winning Miss America / Jewish woman risking death

Yeah, that's the same. :eyes:

[valerief]

13. Thanks. I should have figured it was a biblical reference, but I

thought it might have been some popular game character.

[LuvNewcastle]

12. Esther was a Jewish Persian queen.

She risked her life to go visit the king in order to save the Jews from destruction. How that applies to a Miss America pageant I'll never know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther

[valerief]

14. Thanks. nt

[Creena]

16. That's the part I'm missing

Ester debates whether to inform Xerxes that she's Jewish to save herself, Mordechai, and the Jewish people. Dummy states bigoted views on national television. I can't quite mesh the two together.

[tanyev]

15. Beautiful Jewish woman picked by a Persian king to become one of his wives,

bravely becomes an advocate for her people and a witness for godliness in general. That's how they see it, anyway.

I remember talk before the election about how VP Sarah would be like a Queen Esther. :puke:

[54anickel]

20. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Queen Esther Palin. Thanks for the reminder. n/t

[givemebackmycountry]

5. My response?

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

'nuff said.

[madeline_con]

6. So, this homophobic Barbie doll has inspired the intolerant

self-procliamed "Christians" to fight to "protect" marriage? How does their hate protect marriage? Protect it from what, exactly?

[valerief]

18. Protect it from Leebruls who will raise taxes on rich people. nt

[depakid]

7. "Queen Esther" showed herself to be both vacant headed and ugly

the very same week that this person became the most popular entertainer on the planet...



Says a lot about what real beauty's all about.

[msongs]

8. same Miss California that was waving her pushed up boobs at everyone on TV? nt

[madeline_con]

19. Surely some porn company will hire her?

:popcorn:

[ccharles000]

24. lol

[rosesaylavee]

9. HEY! Let's fix her up with Joe the Plummer!

Or has that been suggested already? I've been outta the loop here a few days.

[54anickel]

10. I've been outta da loop - what's this about Miss CA? She lost because she voice she's

against gay marriage? Or someone thinks that's why she lost?

And what's this Queen Esther thing about? Someone is plotting to kill of all of Miss CA's people?

[AzDar]

17. Weren't the loons saying THE SAME THING to Palin last year?

:crazy:

[C_U_L8R]

21. Exactly ! Queen Polly Esther.

[jmowreader]

25. Please. I LIKE polyester...

it is a valuable material with a multitude of uses.

While pretty, Miss California is only of use to the "traditional marriage" crowd.

[juno jones]

22. They claimed that Palin was Queen Esther.

I believe Katherine Harris has also been referred to by that title.

Will the real Queen Esther please stand up?

[Bluerthanblue]

23. what utter bullshit.

She's NO Esther-

what idiots they are.
