In his new book Courage to Stand, out today, now-former Minnesota governor and American presidential shamdidate Tim Pawlenty says that when he really needs a mental break, there’s nothing like HockeyFights.com, where videos are posted of dudes going at it. Pawlenty writes that he really enjoys “watching two guys, gloves down, helmets off, pounding each other while the ref stands back and lets it happen.” Oh my! The action, he acknowledges, can “seems barbaric” to the unfamiliar, but by watching the man-on-man videos he’s “learned lessons that have applied, surprisingly, to my career in politics.” [via; video posted February 2011]

Sounds a little homo-erotic to me………you know what has been said for ever and ever, those that scream about gays the loudest are usually the biggest repressed queens.

So male-male violence is good?! Stupid hetero males have no shame in their sins in the world-the very things that cause much suffering in this life they turn a blind eye to. Disgusting.

Yet we gays are considered a threat to their “moral” order?! Batshit crazy hypocrites.

Seems like he’s trying a little too hard to seem like “one of the guys.”

He’s gay, and saying this stuff is a way to seem as if he is the epitome of masculinity. #FAIL though. We see this for what it is.

Wow, now that I know this, I might vote for him! Why do these politicians say such outrageously stupid things in public?
