Original title: Rick Perry accused of hypocrisy as he comes under fire for investment in America's largest pornography distributor

Leading Republican contender and prominent Christian candidate Rick Perry has been accused of hypocrisy after it was revealed that he invested thousands of dollars in the country's largest pornography distributor.

Just a week after he launched his presidential campaign, the Texas governor has come under fire for his investment in Movie Gallery, a company that rented pornographic movies.

In 1995, while serving as Texas' agriculture commissioner, financial disclosures reveal that Mr Perry bought between $5,000 and $10,000 worth of the company's stock.

The revelation is particularly embarrassing for the Republican candidate as the company was boycotted by the American Family Association, which hosted Mr Perry's high-profile prayer rally in Houston a week before he kicked off his campaign.

In potentially even more damaging allegations, Mr Perry is accused of signing into law bills that could have benefitted the pornography distributor.

To which, the definition would be someone that makes a reactionary judgment based on a media that he claims to distrust to support his palindrone sympathies.

We had a Movie Gallery... hardly a porn distributed. They had a little age restricted porn room in the back. It was just like Blockbuster with a porn section. Was Obama still snorting coke in 1995?

You resort to posting ultra Liberal trash and rhetoric/lies and post them on a Conservative site. sadly your guild will take this as “gospel” and run with it.

It is getting very sickening and is driving people away from this once great forum.

Perry really has the left running scared..they had to go back to 1995 to dig up this non issue. Rush was right...Liberals will always let you know who they fear the most. He's not my choice for the nominee, but the fact that he's getting under the left’s skin is quite enjoyable.

That's correct, the Left AND the Palinistas are running scared of Perry. The sad thing is, Palin has no intention of running, yet they trash anyone who they see as a threat to her non candidacy.

I do.

They’re wierd.

I briefly courted one of the daughters. Her father asked me why I had a picture of her on my desk at work where everyone could see it.

She later married somebody he liked better. Last I heard she isn’t happy.

:(

It seems most people who support rick perry haven’t really reviewed at his views.

Odd to support somebody you really know nothing about.

Perry authored a bill giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants and even said he would never take action against the children of illegal immigrants because he was too compassionate.

Did Mr. Perry personally buy the stock?

I left a comment on that site - what a stretch LARGEST Porn distributor? It was a chain just like Blockbuster - some with back rooms.

The American Family Association also boycotted: 7-Eleven, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Airlines, American Girl, Blockbuster Video, Burger King, Calvin Klein, Carl’s Jr., Clorox, Comcast, Crest, Ford, Hallmark Cards, Kmart, Kraft Foods, S. C. Johnson & Son, Movie Gallery, Microsoft, MTV, Mary Kay, NutriSystem, Old Navy, IKEA, Sears, Pampers, Procter & Gamble, Target, Tide, Walt Disney Company, and PepsiCo.

If you own stock in any of these companies - beware, if you call yourself a Christian you are a hypocrite.....

Such a stretch. I am not a Perry fan - still holding out for Sarah but Perry would still be better than O.

Movie Gallery? It is a general movie distributor like Blockbuster or Hastings?

What’s next, he invests in Amazon and they write an article on how Amazon.com sells Playboy therefore Perry is a pornographer.

I forgot to take back one of their family DVDs once. :(

Funny I read about this in the AAS this morning.( usually 2 to 3 days behind) I’m surprised the Anti_Perrys didn’t pick up on it earlier.
