OBAMA: Well, to answer the original question, I would love that child and seek to support them. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman but I detest the bashing and vilifying of gays and lesbians. Most gays and lesbians are seeking basic recognition of their rights so they’re not discriminated against in employment or renting a house, so they can see their partner in a hospital. These are rights for everybody, not just some people.

What’s the problem? she answered the question. What did they want her to do lie. Her sister is pro-gay marriage and in the military so obviously she is not a homophobe. This just seems like useless attention. Perez is trying to get more hits on his website...I bet it is working too unfortunately.

...when host Matt Lauer asked if she'd alter her answer if given a "do-over," she said no.

For somebody devoid of integrity like Mattie, that answer must be particularly confounding.

“but I detest the bashing and vilifying of gays and lesbians”

Which has what to do with politics? What political entity is bashing gays? Don’t you hate it when pols come out strong against things that are none of their business?

There are folks on this forum who would sacrifice their values to win an election.

She was diplomatic and classy with her answer, but honestly I would have like to have seen an answer like this to the flamer:

“Homo marriage? What kind of a sick perverted freak are you, you pillow biter”?

Of course, they would have broke to commercial, and she would have been escorted out of the studio, but I bet that within a week she could have gotten a job as a Fox News anchor babe.

This is the treatment that the Left gives someone gets when they speak honestly and openly. The gay activists have said that they wanted to live openly. Well, I guess that means that straights have to go into the gay’s once occupied closet. Sit down, shut up. I will be calling the Miss California folks to express my disgust at their response.

Her answer makes me proud that she is from my state of California.

All that talk of God probably gave Lauer the heebie-jeebie’s.

Nobody is afforded any special rights. We’re all humans and we all bleed red.

Looking at this sideways, this is what goes on in universities. To get a good grade, or keep your scholarship, or graduate, or graduate with a good recommendation, you are expected to follow the party line.

In this case, everyone knows she didn’t get the crown because of her personal ethics and political outlook.

But this is how Mat Lauer and Katie Couric keep their jobs, by spouting the correct rhetoric and ideology on cue. This is how “jornalists” start off from college, some employer like the Glob or LATimes asking the prof, is this guy reliable? Is he a liberal we can trust?

Good for Miss California, for her integrity and for helping expose how things work.

The judge was later quoted as saying if she had won he would have ripped the crown off of her head. I would have liked to see him try. Any real man in the audience would have ripped his arm off.

Look where are today! A sick big mouthed gay man attacks Miss California because she spoke her personal views, and uses the C word. Then the headlines read “Miss California sparks furor with gay marriage comment.” Why doesn't it say “ Pathetic Gay fool loses bowel control over a question he asked?”

I've had it, it is time to fight and defend what ever is left of this once great Nation, it's lock & load time. Instead of interviewing this dude Hilton needs to be B*****d slapped and kicked in his C**t.

First, it is totally immoral to ask a question where only one answer is acceptable.

Second, why is a flitty little fag judging beautiful woman.

I can't get over the fact that until a relatively short time ago everyone was against homosexuality, and now all of a sudden if you maintain the immemorial historic position you're a "dangerous radical" who wants to "change" the country. I also can't get over the fact that the Left wants to create something called "gay marriage," something unheard of in all human history, and they accuse us of wanting to "ban" "gay marriage," as though it has always existed and we had come up with some radical, new, unheard of idea.

And I know who we have to thank for this situation: Hegel, Marx, Gramsci, and Marcuse (with Harry Hay and good old "Grampa Walton" Will Geer thrown in for good measure).

Meanwhile while this is going on the moslems wage a parallel campaign for islamic "theocracy" and the two ("gays" and fundamentalist moslems) never seem to come into the slightest conflict (as I have said before, it's like old time professional wrestling, where the "heels" never get mad at each other despite the fact that each one claims to be "the greatest of all time"). I keep waiting and waiting for the inevitable clash (which has already come in Europe), but it doesn't look as though it will ever come here.

In America the forces of the "thesis" are just one, big, happy family.

I love this girl! Morals and the confidence to stand up for what she believes in. There are not enough women like her in the limelight anymore.:)

There is a poll on Yahoo at this time on this subject.

Our side is pounding the gay butt boys like Hilton.

http://js.polls.yahoo.com/quiz/quiziframe.php?poll_id=44881

Go to the site and vote to pound more shame on the truly ugly/two ton gay butt boy, Hilton.

Q. Carrie Prejean caused a stir on the Miss USA stage when she said marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Judge Perez Hilton and others in the pageant slammed the response, which may have cost her the crown. On the talk-show circuit Prejan has stood by her response and garnered praise from opponents of same-sex marriage.

What do you think? Does Prejean deserve criticism or praise for her response?

She should be criticized. That sort of prejudice should never be tolerated. 11%
She should be praised for expressing her opinion. 87%
Not sure/No opinion. 1%

40907 votes
