Rosie O'Donnell: "Homophobia" Not OK; Mocking Asian People Is OK

Newsbusters pointed out the other day Rosie O'Donnell making an ass of herself while proving once again to be the big, fat hypocrite that she is. Needless to say the Left doesn't have much to say about this:

When it comes to the defamation of gays and lesbians The View's Rosie O'Donnell is the first one to play sensitivity cop, most notably her patrolling of Kelly Ripa's bout with Clay Aiken, but apparently her hypersensitivity doesn't apply to those of Asian descent. On the December 5 edition of The View, O'Donnell universally mocked the Asian community when she attempted to feign a Chinese accent. Former Republican Senator Alfonse D'Amato was tried and executed by the liberal media for similarly making fun of O.J. Simpson Judge Lance Ito. So the question has to be asked where is that same liberal media now when one of their own is accused of making fun of a minority group? Video Clip: Real (416KB) or WindowsMP3 (73 KB) (465 KB) Plus

The following remark, as transcribed by MRC's Megan McCormack, came during a discussion about Danny DeVito's now infamous intoxicated appearance:

Rosie O'Donnell: "The fact is that it's news all over the world. You know, you can imagine in China it's like, 'Ching chong, ching chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong chong, drunk, The View, ching chong."

A quick Google of the incident does reveal, this TV Guide blogger, was not amused.

Person Of The Week: Michael Bloomberg

Age: 64
Representing: New York City

Claim to Fame: mega-billionaire (via Bloomberg L.P.), philanthropist and mayor of New York City

Why is he Person of the Week? For the continual success of his anti-gun initiative, that is, going after out-of-state gun dealers who sell guns illegally, the same illegal guns that trade hands and often come up in major crimes around the nation, especially in larger cities like New York (which also shows an unusually, um, national-minded thinking from a city mayor).

Not only has Bloomberg garnered huge support from city mayors all around the country for his anti-gun initiave, but once again showing how serious he is about his crackdown on illegal guns, on Thursday the Bloomberg administration announced new federal lawsuits against gun dealers in 5 states including Pennsylvania and Ohio. Fifteen other in these states had been sued by Bloomberg back in May, with six having settled and three being monitored by a court-appointed overseer.

Bloomberg, a strong proponent for gun control, has more than held his own backing up one major issue of his administration that he made in his second inaugural address. "No other city or state has ever achieved such an agreement," said the mayor upon his latest success. "It truly represents a major step forward in our fight against illegal weapons." All this despite the fact that most of the beneficiaries of his donations to Congressional candidates have been opponents of gun control.

Gay Mafia Goes After Jennifer Hudson

A few days ago, while reading the news I saw a comment made by Jennifer Hudson, a former contestant on "American Idol" and now one of the stars of the new "Dreamgirls" movie that's about to come out. Apparently Jennifer is getting a lot of deserved acclaim for her supporting role in the flick, to the point that some people are even calling for her to get an Oscar nomination (then too just the fact that you could be a Black woman and steal the spotlight from a co-star who happens to be named Beyonce is a feat in of itself). While I generally associate a high degree of irrelevance when celebrities speak their mind on politics or religion, I was shocked to see Ms. Hudson, a woman with a strong Baptist upbringing, dare to publicly express her feelings about homosexuality that we all know is not favorable to those to control the strings.

Said Jennifer on if being gay is a sin:

“Everybody sins. No sin is greater or different than the other. To each his own. If it don’t bother Jennifer, then Jennifer don’t mind. I don’t really even think about it because I don’t believe in judging people for what they do. According to the way we’re taught, and what it says in the Bible — it is.”

Yeah, the Bible, that conservative bastion of all that is evil to those who call themselves "liberals", a fact Jennifer probably wasn't aware of. That in the hypocritical world of gays, gay activists and liberals (in the underbelly of Hollywood they're often referred to as the "Gay Mafia"}, tolerance must equal acceptance, better yet you are either for homosexuality or against it. You either love the gays or you hate them. So despite the fact that Ms. Hudson seemed to be just giving an opinion based on her religious upbringing or that she didn't make any slurs towards gays, by calling a homosexuality a "sin" (which it is) suddenly she hates the gays. And hey, when you're a new, upcoming star trying to get your shine on in Hollywood, you can't afford to make any mistakes that might ruin your career, much less upset the powerful Gay Mafia. So once the word got out on Ms. Hudson's hatefest, poor Jennifer had no choice but to quickly go on the defensive.

She said: “In a recent interview, I was asked how I reconciled being a Christian with performing at events for my gay fans. I find it upsetting that some folks equate being a Christian with being intolerant of gay people. That may, unfortunately, be true for some, but it is not true for me. I have talked often of my love and support of the gay community. I havesaid again and again that it was the gay community that supported me long before and long after American Idol, and kept me working and motivated. It is the gay community that celebrated my voice and my size and my personality long before Dreamgirls. Yes, I was raised Baptist. Yes, I was taught that the Bible has certain views on homosexuality. The Bible also teaches us not to judge. It teaches us to love one another as God loves us all. I love my sister, my two best friends and my director dearly. They happen to be gay. So what? While some search for controversy, I hope that my friends and fans who know me, know where I stand.”

So by using the "I have gay friends" line, now everything is right with the world and the ignorant, intolerant haters love Jennifer again. But what Jennifer doesn't realize is that a double-minded message lacks power and by catering to haters she fell right into the curse that's ruining our generation: not only do we not have anything to stand for; we don't even have the integrity to back it up. So while I can understand Jennifer feeling the need to change her tune what with her career possibly being on the line, she doesn't get my respect for putting her beliefs aside in order to cater to the ignoramus'.

Richard Viguerie's Quote Of The Day

"Since the [2006] election, President Bush has sent strong signals that he will move left and seek accommodation with the Democrats who will be running the House and Senate. The President is following in the footsteps of his father, George H. W. Bush, who also abandoned the conservative base of the GOP . . . In addition to surrendering on the Bolton nomination, another danger signal for conservatives was the President's comments at his November 8 news conference that he will work with the liberals to grant amnesty to illegal aliens" he continued. "Still another was Treasury Secretary Paulson's statement that the Bush Administration had 'no preconditions' on Social Security reform, which is code for a willingness to accept higher payroll taxes and cuts in benefits . . . It looks like the next two years will be painful for conservatives and possibly fatal for the Republican Party."

Bolton Resignation Is Another Victory For Liberals

From YahooNews.com:

Unable to win Senate confirmation, U.N. Ambassador John Bolton will step down when his temporary appointment expires within weeks, the White House said Monday.

Bolton's nomination has languished in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for more than a year, blocked by Democrats and several Republicans. Sen. Lincoln Chafee, a moderate Republican who lost in the midterm elections Nov. 7 that swept Democrats to power in both houses of Congress, was adamantly opposed to Bolton.

Critics have questioned Bolton's brusque style and whether he could be an effective public servant who could help bring reform to the U.N.

President Bush, in a statement, said he was "deeply disappointed that a handful of United States senators prevented Ambassador Bolton from receiving the up or down vote he deserved in the
Senate."

"They chose to obstruct his confirmation, even though he enjoys majority support in the Senate, and even though their tactics will disrupt our diplomatic work at a sensitive and important time," Bush said. "This stubborn obstructionism ill serves our country, and discourages men and women of talent from serving their nation."

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass, said Bolton's departure could be a turning point for the administration.

"With the Middle East on the verge of chaos and the nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea increasing, we need a United Nations ambassador who has the full support of Congress and can help rally the international community to tackle the serious threats we face," Kerry said. He said it was an opportunity for Bush to nominate an ambassador "who enjoys the support necessary to unite our country and the world and who can put results ahead of ideology."

In other words, he's your guy so we're not going to like him.

So once again the "Anti-Bush" lunatics win. Bolton doesn't even get a vote. Why? Because some Democrats don't like his "brusque" style (i.e. his support for the Iraq war). Yeah, remember that one the next time anyone deems your personality to be a little too strong for their liking, qualifications for the job aside.

Then too this is probably what we'll be dealing with for at least two years: a group of nuts with no plan of their own who aren't interested in the best interests of the country so much as they're interested in parlaying their contempt for the President.

Hey, Jim Webb has already shown how much of a child he can be. And it won't stop there.

Gridlock. Filibusters. Government shutdowns. Higher taxes. And any and everything anti-Bush. After all, do the loons have their own candidate for a better ambassador? Of course not. But besides that little fact the amusing thing are the loons acting as if the UN has a shred of credibility, dignity, and honor left. As if choosing someone who isn't a paragon of love toward the organization is some sort of smear against it, even having someone from any civilized nation attend this festival of corruption, tyrany, incompetence, and failure is a condescension. Not including Hugo Chavez, of course.
