Incoherent moose murderess Sarah Palin has endorsed Star Parker for California’s 37th congressional district! And what does this rising star of conservatism have to say about gay marriage? Namely that it causes HIV. Did we mention that Ms. Parker once “helped rob a liquor store at gunpoint, aborted four babies in two years, or bilked the welfare system out of thousands of dollars”? Oh we did? Awesome.
Here’s the money shot from Star’s tirade against legalizing gay marriage in D.C.:
“According to DC’s HIV/AIDS office, three percent of the local population has HIV or AIDS. The Administrator of this office notes that this HIV/AIDS incidence is “…higher than West Africa…on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya.” And the principal way that HIV is transmitted continues to be through male homosexual activity.
Amidst this dismal picture, the DC City Council, perhaps on the theory that serving up another glass of wine is the way to help a drunk, is scheduled to vote on December 1 to legalize same sex marriage in America’s capital city … It should concern every American as we watch our nation’s capital city transform officially into Sodom.”
Oooh! Bonus points for the bible bashing! She also goes on to note D.C.’s AIDS crisis is most prominent among blacks, so presumably she doesn’t want blacks to marry either; she’ll get to work on that once she’s in Congress.
But you lezzies should take heart in the fact that Star only targets gay marriage because of HIV transmitted “through male homosexual activity.” That means she’s probably okay with she-devil brides turning D.C. into a Satanic sexpit — we’ll see you at the reception with our pentagrams and kidnapped child sacrifices.
Oh wait. People for the American Way thinks she’s insane too? Good, we were worried it was only us.
whatever
Her opponent, the incumbent, wrote the bill to legalize SSM in CA.

And there is no way a Republican can be elected in this district. None.
Disgusted Gay American
she’s another disgusting minority who’s NEVER EVER had to Fight for her rights…she lives off the back of people who DID fight for her rights (blacks and women). She’s the typical I got my Rights..now let me trample on yours….but of course,let me USE the Buy-Bull to sanction the bigotry….people like this bitch make me sick

The people most affected by HIV/AIDS are NOT gay men, but heterosexual black women.
It’s a fact.
Anyone can look it up.
This woman is a bigot who is simply taking HER turn to abuse people as she herself has been abused for being black.
So much for personal growth.

She said “””According to DC’s HIV/AIDS office, three percent of the local population has HIV or AIDS. The Administrator of this office notes that this HIV/AIDS incidence is “…higher than West Africa”
Really? So she says that 3% AIDS rate is higher than West Africa? Thats really funny, because here are some AIDS stats from West Africa…
Cameroon 15.9%
Côte d’Ivoire 7.1%
Liberia 5.9%
Guinea-Bissau 3.8%
Togo 3.2%
Sooooooo did she just mean that it’s higher than the parts of West Africa that it is…higher than? Additionally, certain other countries in West Africa like Mauritainia have such substandard health networks that people may be dying of AIDS but it’s not getting reported. This woman needs to stop getting her information from Conspiracy Theories on the wacko websites.

A large percentage of African American women are:
1) Pro abortion.
2) Against same sex marriage.

@Bill: Human beings with brown skin are just as capable of being hateful as human beings with white skin.
Not sure why you’re surprised by that.
You don’t know that she herself has been abused for being black. My father for example is damn near immune to racism, he just can’t see it even when it’s right in front of his face. At the same time he used to be very VERY openly homophobic(he’s not anymore).
Skin color is not a factor, nor is the past. People are people.
Besides if we’re going to pick at skin color why are white people already on to the next group to hate after most realized that hating black people was wrong? Seems like the bigger issue to me considering white people are currently still in power in America.

Also, Washington DC is a majority black city and when the council was in the process of passing gay marriage here, an anti-gay pastor from Maryland tried to come in and organize rallies against it. In a city with over a quarter Million African Americans he got less than 100 people to show up.

@Hilarious:
I made not a single racially charged comment in my post.
Are you saying that she has not been abused by society as a black woman in America? If so, you are blind. If you are black, you are blind AND deaf and then SHAME ON YOU.
In fact, what the fuck ARE you saying?
My point was clear. Heterosexual black women are the largest carriers of HIV/AIDS in America.
She could just as easily have accessed that information. Instead, she chose to use a disease to denigrate an entire group of people. Which, as I said, is simply one abused minority taking her turn to stick it to another abused minority.
If you see something else going on here, why not let me know what that is instead of looking for racial insults where there were none, you fool.

@Bill: Hetero Black women have high rates of HIV in large part because of down low Black men who, unfortunately, don’t use protection and bring home the disease. I believe they’ve done studies on these down low men, the fact that they don’t even acknowledge their homosexual behavior to the point that they don’t bother using protection and end up infecting these poor women. Just another example of what homophobia and the church do to people. By the way, LOGO has a documentary on bi/down low black men running…it’s really interesting and it’ll show y’all that black people aren’t as monolithic as you think…
And please, let’s not get into a racial fight…it’ll attract a certain troll who’ll take over and inflame an already touchy subject…
Hilarious
I was merely trying to point out that being black doesn’t make one exempt from bigotry. It’s like any time a black person is a bigot it’s somehow seen as a worse offense than a white bigot, or a Jewish bigot, or an Asian bigot, etc.
Bigots are stupid period and their skin color shouldn’t factor into anyone’s criticism.
She’s just one singular woman, not a black woman, just a person with a narrow-minded viewpoint of a group of people and it’s most likely deeply rooted in religion like every other homophobe.
So there I’ve said my piece I’ll drop the race thing because you’re right a troll or two will most certainly change this “argument” into something else entirely. It’s just sickening to see skin color brought into every little thing as if it’s even a factor.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Scarah Pallin and the tea baggers were obvioulsy looking for their “dream candidate” all she needed was the following “qualifications”:
1- A woman
2- A Black
3- Hates the Gays
In their sheer dripping ecstasy of finding the “triple threat” they neglected to do their homework about those pesky little “issues” like the armed robbery, membership in the frequent abortion program, and those “overpayments” of her welfare checks. Their “shooting Star” just crashed and burned big time………..
Gay Fairy Godmother: Pretty please grant us Scarah Pallin getting the repugnatican nomination in 2012! It will make the election just so damm enjoyable! :-p

If anything this says more about Sarah Palin’s incompetence, and the poor judgment of the people that support her than anything. They are clearly as clueless as this lady that’s running, like likes like, so there you have it.

Well sweet potato pie, let me shut my mouth. I am so glad many of you saw the short-comings of this woman without me having to point them out.

Funny how people are citing the CDC like god spoke. As I said in anothe post,the CDC manipulates stats when it comes to Blacks. They have never been a friend to blacks even defending the Tuskegee Syphilis Experimen, 1932-1972 in which 399 Black men were DELIBERTLY infected and not treated for 40yrs.
So people who are quoting stats from the CDC have 100% faith in their honesty??
The “downlow” is silly term. It’s nothing more than bisexual behavior.And since there are more white GLBT, you probably have more whites doing this behavior.
And the criteria of having HIV/AIDS in the U.S. and Africa are different. In Africa you can be diagnosed as having HIV/AIDS without a blood test.
And by the way, she’s a joke. And in that distract will not be taken seriously.

What difference does it possibly make HOW someone acquires HIV/AIDS?

Star Parker is hopeless and desperate, aspiring to be the black Ann Coulter. I remember hearing her radio show in LA years ago, and she was the same rabid homophobe she is today, even worse. She would scream and hang up on callers who dared to disagree. She had her conversion to Jesus and now thinks everyone else needs to do the same, or else. She’s a typical right wing hack, with the added bonus of being a former crack whore who was saved. She’s nasty, argumentative, and thinks she knows the “truth.” When she guest co-hosted “The View,” you could tell that Barbara Walters and everyone else hated her.
Conservatives like Parker represent what the modern Republican party has become – a bunch of nasty, hate filled neo-fascists who can’t stand it when someone else has a mind of their own and doesn’t subscribe to their precious “values.” They use fear and division to gain power. It’s the same hatred directed toward the Jews in the 30s and the Commies in the 50s. Same song, different tempo.

In No. 4, Cam wrote, “So she says that 3% AIDS rate is higher than West Africa? Thats really funny, because here are some AIDS stats from West Africa… Cameroon 15.9% Côte d’Ivoire 7.1% Liberia 5.9% Guinea-Bissau 3.8% Togo 3.2%”
To lambast her fairly, you should ask whether she was using numbers that she looked up 16 years ago and has been repeating ever since: I would guess that, given a combination of poverty, lack of medical care, and homophobia, the AIDS rate in West Africa would have been grossly underestimated for years.
This question goes beyond LGBT issues. Some of the global-warming deniers, for example, quote papers written over the past 30 years and then say, “scientists don’t agree”. What they don’t tell you is that the climate models people used 25 years ago were run on computers far slower than what we have today (a 20 Megahertz processor was a fast one in 1985 for a workstation), and with much less memory. Using the largest supercomputers available, the climate models represented California by one or two points on a grid covering the earth. And they couldn’t include the oceans and the atmosphere in the same model. That wasn’t because its what the researchers wanted – it was all you could do with the resources available at that time.
We have a whole series of complex issues to deal with and we need people who get it right, not people who see what they want to see and ignore any facts they don’t like. If you point out that the person is obviously not up to the job, that will influence a lot more voters than if you simply call the person a bigot (even if the person is in fact a bigot).

The fact is that Star Parker is a Faux News schill who demonizes and profits off the marginalized. A hypocrite in the first order that makes vast generalizations particularly about black women by projecting her past pathological lifestyle upon them. Now Parker is anti- choice after having had 4 abortions, basically using it as birth control. Her party affiliation has nothing do with any disdain thinking people have about her, it’s that she’s supported by a war criminal Karl Rove and a slacker half term Governor Sara Palin who quit her job and wackadoodle Glen Beck. She claims that goverment isn’t necessary but she has a 501C3 which I suspect has helped no one but her bank account. Get a real job Star in the private sector like my mother, sisters, and many women of color have done and still are doing. Your screed against welfare recipients of which you happened to have been one and admitted to frauding is hollow at least and disingenous at best. Your buffoonish behavior typfies typical “reich” wing lunacy whom advocate against the middle class for the benefit of the very very few. Against minimum wage, environmental standards, science and being hyper religious, we had that it’s passe Ms. Parker. Yes Laura Richardson needs to be replaced but not by a dishonest Faux News clown, and yes you do come off as a clown saw you on the View. Terribly embarrasing.
