On 'SNL,' Penn State scandal offends even Satan
AP ^ | Nov. 13, 2011

Posted on 11/13/2011 7:32:08 PM PST by Colofornian

NEW YORK (AP) — On "Saturday Night Live," even the devil was offended by the Penn State child sex abuse scandal.

"SNL" cast member Jason Sudeikis reprised his role as Satan, appearing with red horns and pitchfork. The devil was informed by "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers of sex charges against a former defensive coordinator and allegations that university officials failed to report the abuse.

Even he was disturbed by the news. Addressing Penn State students who protested football coach Joe Paterno's firing, the devil spoke directly into the camera, asking, "Do you know how bad that made you look?"

Disgusted by the scandal, the devil says, "Evil isn't what it used to be."

...others is falling right into the liberal media..

This response of yours was to post #14. The only MSM I cited there was The Washington Times, the more conservative alternative to the Washington Post.

I certainly don't need to defend the Times in any way...it's got its ownership issues. But if your reference was to the Times as "liberal," (& I'm not exactly sure what you were referencing), hey, the Times its still more conservative than the Penn State campus who's been headed by Spanier...a one-time candidate (as a Dem) for Obama's Secretary of Ed.

Several posters -- including Penn State grads -- have noted when Spanier came on board Penn State he made it the most gayest Penn State ever with events & groups he encouraged/allowed to flourish.

>> an element to this that no one in the media can bring up without being fired ... I wonder if that was the homosexual element.

Discussed in this thread...
If Jerry Sandusky had raped little GIRLS...

Does SNL and the MSM realize WE DON’T CARE how we look to them. We are protesting THEM. We are protesting what the B of T did to cover their own asses. Thank God some don’t care how it looks to others. Especially SNL and the media. You remember, the media who is against us, right?

OK. This clarifies Post #15...you were referencing SNL -- not the Times.

Still. My comment from last post still holds re: Spanier.

I suppose you've protested ... oh...every month or so...all the pro-homosexual stuff Spanier imported or encouraged to flourish on campus, eh?

(Or is it Penn State presidents can be pro-homosexual, but the MSM can't?)

All I know is that this whole situation makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

What we already know is bad enough...there seems to be a “sense” out there...something unspoken.
It’s so bad, no one will bring it to light.

Whatever “it” is? It’s gotta be a doozy.

McQueray was the only witness. Joe was told a week later. there is nothing to break up or stop. the event was over. should he have gone into Sandusky’s office with a baseball bat? he’d be fired for that and rightly so, as it was all hearsay

the only one at fault were those that hired Sandusky, Sandusky himself, and those homosexuals that were in his inner circle participating in the ‘pimping’

I’m a Penn State alum and SHAME is the last thing I feel or think. No internet moron is gonna make me feel that. The media who I can’t stand will never make me feel that.

I’m not ashamed of my Country or my alma mater.

WE ARE PEMM STATE and nothing will change that.

i’m ashamed that the BOT and the Media focused on Paterno rather than the victims of the homosexual rapist and the lobby who supports them.

I will never be ashamed by the actions of a few. What happened at Penn State isn’t about the students or alumni. It’s about the hono agenda and how we allowed and continue to allow it to happen. It’s how we allow the homo agenda to take prescedence...the most homo friendly president and what he stated he would do and subsequently did to a once great school

Joe was told the day following the rape.

Had the police been called, the victim could have been identified rather easily.
One day after the rape, a medical exam could still have confirmed rape.
The victim could have received treatment.
A rapist could have been caught.
Other victims could have been spared.

epic fail.

“Show me where the homos are taking heat from the media.”

I agree that almost all of the despicable scoundrels who work for the lamestream misleadia would work to suppress the truth about same-sex attraction disorder.

What I’m wondering is if things have gotten so bad that even those who might want to tell the truth—for instance, “If you employ homosexuals around children, you run a very high risk of such an incident,”—are afraid to speak.

I keep wondering about that aspect of this that not even Limbaugh could mention without being fired.

Could be. [Lancey Howard's theory mentioned by Gene Eric @ post #23: If the victims were girls, they made have been rescued...]

Could also be that the reality is that most of these victims were black...IOW...Penn State officials (admin) & coaches apparently devalued black boys to such an extent that they deemed them "expendable" in exchange of retaining the mythic glory of Penn State football. Some sacred narratives need protecting, ya know...which is, I think why Penn State fans were verbally abusing a lone protester who id'd with the victims Saturday.

See At Penn State’s stadium, profanity, scorn greet one father’s protest

A father like that should not have had to endure so much Penn State fan profanity, verbal abuse, somebody slapping him on the stomach, people knocking his signs down, etc.

Penn State: Got Class? (No)

Penn State fans: Humility post-scandal? (No)

Penn State fans: All those who clapped in rapid succession as players were try to pray pre-game: Classy? (No)

Penn State student body: Dissing Christianity @ its candlelight vigil Friday as they sang John Lennon's "Imagine." Respect for diversity that includes Christianity? (No)

Like that would happen.

Yep. for some reason the fault is with JoePA, the old guy with old school values, who votes Republican and who never witnessed anything and reported it when he was told. But let’s blame him. It’s easier that way.

Internet moron? (You sound like those Penn State fans who verbally abused John Matko in that link I put @ post #30...did you contribute to that verbal abuse?)

What about that post (#30). Anything there "worthy" of Penn State shame. Or is that part of your "celebrate perversity" going on at Penn State under the "celebrate diversity" banner?

Again, it’s far easier to hate Paterno and hate Penn State and blame it all on him and the students/alumni than deal with the real issue.

Exactly.

And show me where heat is directed here on FR. At Paterno. At Penn State. At the students and alumni. Everyone BUT who is should be directed at.

Conservative? Joe's last contribution to a Republican was in '04. In '08, he gave to both Joe Sestak and Barack Obama. The Republicans he did support included Arlen Specter and his own son. Don't believe me?

It’s easier that way...it’s far easier to hate Paterno and hate Penn State and blame it all on him and the students/alumni than deal with the real issue. [two posts fused together]

If Paterno had run his team the way he oversaw abuse reports, 'Lion fans would have screamed for his head.

Scenario #1:

A conversation between two Penn State fans during a mythical game in the 2000s:

PSU FAN #1: "Oh, wow! The quarterback got creamed! No blocking! Our line didn't defend him whatsoever! Those linebackers are abusing him at will!"
PSU FAN #2: "NOW what's Paterno doing?"
PSU FAN #1: "I don't know. We're down 24-20. There's three minutes left in the game. 95 yards to go. No timeouts left. And he's huddling with his players on the sideline as the clock is ticking. Hasn't he heard of 'new inventions' in football like a 'no-huddle' offense when the game is on the line? You've got to be kidding!"
PSU FAN #2: "I'm taking a closer look with my binoculars. OK. The Wide Receivers' coach just said somethin' that took all afternoon to JoePa. Now...JoePa's not even talking. He's not saying a word. The QB's waitin' for him to report what play they should run. He's taking all day to get something said! Where's his sense of urgency?"

[play is then run]

PS FAN#1: "Oh, no! He didn't get out of bounds or get a first down! The clock is still running! What's Paterno doing?"
PS FAN#2, using his binoculars for a "closer" look: "He's...he's...huddling on the sideline with the athletic director and some other dude. I don't think he's even paying attention to the game! Wait. He's...he's got his face toward the field. He's mumbling something. But he certainly looks like he's paying 100% attention to what's going on the field and 0% to those other 2 guys. But why are they so closely huddled and off away from everybody? It looks like some top-secret meetin' or somethin'."
PSFAN#1: "Hmm. So he's paying 100% attention to Penn State football; if those 2 guys are trying to have a convo with JoePa & not getting his attention no matter how far they're away from all else on the sideline, they must think he's paying overly too much attention to Penn State football."

Scenario #2:

Nov. 23, 1998...Weekly Penn State coaches' offensive strategy meeting for the upcoming Big 10 game vs. Michigan State:

PS Asst Coach #1: "We've looked @ all 9 game films of the Spartans this year. We've found more gaps than ever in their defense. It's almost like their defensive coordinator is losing it this year!"
JoePa, having studied the detailed written scouting report, says to the assistant: "I gotta hand it to you, you've uncovered more patterns of blown coverage and missed alignment calls than ever! And with such fine-tuned detail broken down by player, by quarter, by offensive alignment, etc.!"
PS Asst Coach #1: "Well, not only that, but I've come across something the defensive coordinator does that is so secret, and yet so obvious, I didn't even want to risk writing it down in the scouting report."
JoePa: "Well, what is it? Tell me straight up and don't leave out any details."
PS Asst Coach #1: "Well, when the defensive coordinator communicates to his boys on the field, he telegraphs his precise coverage scheme, his aggressive blitz packages, his call for the linebackers to especially punish & abuse the QB, etc. Want to know how he does and how we found out fair & square?"
JoePa: "No. Not interested. Let's go back to talking about those details in your written scouting report."

Scenario #3 in the 2000s:

The head of recruiting for Penn State is talking to a local journalist, who because of 100% favorable coverage, he's giving an "inside scoop" as to how Penn State handles recruits on campus for visits.

Assistant coach head of PSU recruiting (to local sports journalist): "We've got a local boy on campus today. Best prospect to EVER come out of State College. Heads & tails above EVERY recruit we've EVER attempted to commit to Penn State. We've got a great inside shot. A number of years ago, our defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky groomed him at his sports camps and his foundation when he was in 4th and 5th grade and Sundusky even had him accompany him for the January 1999 Alamo Bowl."

"Besides," continues the PSU assistant coach. "This kid's lived and breathed both Joe Paterno and Penn State football his entire life. He's 'culturally' already a Penn State convert. And I've got the treat of his life today. He's never had a convo with JoePa. Until today, that is. All JoePa has to do is open his mouth and say ANYTHING and this kid will commit in his heart today! I mean, Joe Pa's like a 'god' to him. And JoePa, being the most powerful coach in this state and maybe this nation, will use his unique considerable influence to sinch this commitment. Well, let me go introduce you to the kid and we'll take him in to meet JoePa."

Assistant coach head of PSU recruiting introduces the kid to Coach Paterno. Coach Paterno repeatedly nods in affirmation to the assistant coach, looking right at the assistant coach. But then. He just stands there. Like. Forever. Silence. Nothing. Not a word. Nada. He's heard the introduction. He know the boy exists. He knows the boy's not a phantom. But not ONCE does he EVER open his mouth to use his considerable unique influence to try to get this boy wonder to commit to Penn State.

A day later, JoePa is heard talking to his athletic director: "Yeah, our recruiting head brought this top-notch recruit in to introduce him to me yesterday. I think YOU should handle it, Tim. I think YOU should speak to the boy. 'Cause I'm not. I'm not goin' to open my mouth to him. You do it. Or, you, Gary (pointing to the VP of Finance). Either of you should speak to the boy. It'll be front-page headlines once this kid commits to being a player at Penn State. But I'm not going to talk to this kid, if I can help it."

PSU A.D. Tim Curley: "But, Joe, if he commits it'll turn the entire program around. If I talk, it'll swing the program around the wrong way. I think (President) Graham should talk to the boy. We'll set up a meeting first with the head of recruiting in, say, oh, 10 days or so. We'll discuss it all then."

VP Gary Schultz: "Don't we run the risk of not treating this matter urgently enough if we don't have that meeting for another 10 days? I mean what if someone else pounces on the kid?"

PSU A.D. Tim Curley: "If he's pounced upon, he's pounced upon. Besides, he's black. There's plenty of black kids for that role. If he was white, his talent would be so rare among white people that we'd have to energize every ounce in our being to protect him."

I was on another site, talking about this. And I made a statement about how shocking and sickening the subject of homosexual rape is.

For making a statement about homosexual rape, I was flamed and my comments were rescinded from that site. Numerous people commented that the fact that he abused boys is not important. They said that rape is tragic, whether done to a girl or a boy.

The MSM will probably de-emphasize the fact that this was a homosexual raping boys. Just as they did with the Catholic Church scandal. Most of the chidren abused by priests were boys, but, the media always talked about that scandal as child abuse in general terms, without specifying who was most likely to be targeted.
