Ellen Calls Kern

By Andrew Belonsky March 12, 2008 at 4:03pm · 21 comments


Ambiguously political Ellen DeGeneres wanted to have some words with anti-gay lawmaker, Sally Kern.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Kern’s mailbox was full, so DeGeneres never got to find out which societies we homos have destroyed. Shame. Maybe Kern will see Ellen’s televised message and give her a ring-a-ding!

    She is fantastic. Did you see how the audience reacted? I use to wish she would speak out more but she is making up for lost time.

    I don’t think she was too political. She did not say what party the representative was from. She stated the facts on what Sally said. I hope Ellen keeps this up. There are a lot of house wives that our home with their children watching this show

    I may actually have to start watching her show if she keeps this up.

    HA! GO ELLEN!!!! I DON’T THINK THIS IS TOO POLITICAL AT ALL! SHE WOULD HAVE CALLED THIS “LADY” NO MATTER WHAT PARTY SHE BELONGED TO. THIS PERSON IS CALLING GAY PEOPLE TERRORISTS. AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL IT IS THE DUTY OF CITIZENS, WHICH ELLEN IS, TO CONFRONT THESE FOOLS. I KNEW AT THE TIME THIS SALLY PROBABLY HAD A GAY PERSON IN HER FAMILY AND SURE ENOUGH SHE DOES…HER SON. POLITICIANS ARE GETTING MORE HYPOCRITICAL AS TIME GOES ON!

    This Kern bitch won’t call back, that’s how these pigs operate, they say what they want on their turf then duck and cover. She’s a coward, and now I hear she’s got a gay son? I sure hope that kid has good support from the gay community because he sure as fuck doesn’t have any from his own mother.

    I am so sick of Ellen. I don’t give a shit about her. She always keeps say “I”,”ME”,”I WAS THERE”, “YOU KNOW IF I WERE”,ICRIED”,oh please cut that crap.

    Tim
    You have misdirected anger at a celebrity you probably don’t know. We Gay men are critical about most everyone, including myself. I am working on it and trying to come to terms with my anger over being rejected by society. If any celeb throws us a few crumbs, I love them.

    Ellen will do more good than all the protests, petitions, and boycotts combined.

    This is great she more popular then Opra most Housewifes will know who this biggot is

    Interesting, Tim, that you began two of your three sentences with “I,” and yet you criticize Ellen for (if I’m following your hysterical post) the same thing.

    This chapter in history has already been written.

    “First they came for Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.

    Rev Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)

    The funny thing here is that those who support Kern & agree that the gays are sinners becuz the bible says so are failing to realize that the same bible forbids WOMEN from being in such a role (political office) which is SO hypocritical! These clowns are praising a WOMAN for such a role! It’s obvious these bible thumpers have not even read the very book they quote (in order 2 justify their hatred & prejudice to gays.) They must have missed the parts forbidding birth control, wearing mixed fabrics, eating PORK, and it suggests that an unmarried woman who has pre-marital sex should be STONED to death! & that rape victims should be required to MARRY their rapist! It’s pure trash.
