Media Love Anti-bullying Bully Who Wishes Republicans Were 'All F**king Dead'
Dan Savage hates bullying. Make that some bullying. Admirably, Savage hates it when gay teens get bullied. Less admirably, Savage doesn't hesitate to bully, smear and malign those who disagree with him.
Savage, a gay sex columnist, has never been shy about expressing his hatred for social conservatives. In his latest attack, appearing on HBO's "Real Time" with Bill Maher July 15, Savage wished Republicans were "all f**king dead" and admitted that he has contemplated how he'd like to "f**k the s**t out of [conservative presidential candidate] Rick Santorum."
[Video after jump]
Savage, a syndicated columnist best known for his "Dear Abby"-style sex advice column titled "Savage Love" is an open homosexual, and in 2010 launched a video campaign with his partner against gay bullying called, "It Get's Better." The campaign's goal is to encourage gay teens to remain strong and seek help in the wake of several gay teen suicides that resulted from bullying. The "It Get's Better" project has received the attention of celebrities, Democratic Congressmen, and even the White House.
Predictably, "It Gets Better," coupled with his outspoken gay agenda and liberal politics, has also earned Savage plenty of fawning attention in the mainstream media. The Culture and Media Institute performed a Nexis search for Savage and his "Savage Love" column and discovered that major newspapers have quoted Savage or run his weekly column more than 250 times since July 18, 2009. He is a go-to expert on gay issues for CNN and MSNBC, which consulted Savage a combined 42 times in the past two years. Savage appeared most often on CNN and CNN.com, where his name has made 28 appearances - 10 of those were associated with his anti-bullying web campaign.
But a closer look at some of Savages appearances and columns raises serious questions. Is he really the best spokesman for the gay agenda? Should they uncritically publicize the anti-bullying activism of a notorious political bully?
Reached for comment, MSNBC and CNN stress that they have no official relationship with Savage. Relationship or not, should supposedly neutral, respectable media outlets legitimize someone who trades in filth and political sabotage by giving him air time?
Just this past May, Savage demanded that a Canadian politician "Suck my d***, John." That politician's crime? He held an opposing position on the gay agenda. Five months earlier, in a single Newsweek article, Savage said "F**K John McCain," and called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a "c**ksucker."
And the anti-bullying activist has no qualms about trying to bully media outlets into removing conservative voices from the air. In 2010, he told CNN's Kyra Phillips:
"There are no two sides to the issues about gay and lesbian rights. Right now, one side is really using dehumanizing rhetoric. The Southern Poverty Law Center labels these groups as hate groups. And yet, the leaders of these groups, people like Tony Perkins are welcomed onto networks like CNN to espouse hate directed at gays and lesbians. And similarly hateful people targeting Jews or people of color or anyone else would not be welcome to spew their bile on networks like CNN. We really have to start there. We have to start with that kind of cultural reckoning."
And maybe Savage's most famous attack on social conservatives happened in 2003, when the gay-activist bullied then-Senator Rick Santorum for his perceived anti-gay remarks, prompting Savage to ask his readers for a new sex term that could be named in the Senator's honor. The result was the top search for Google, with "Santorum" being referred to as the "The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex."
The disgusting smear campaign has haunted Santorum ever since. But Savage, who is apparently devoid of self knowledge, claims to be incensed by "hate speech."
When Republican New York Gubernatorial Candidate Carl Paladino was in hot water with the gay community for saying that the "indoctrination" of "gay pride" is "not the example we should be showing our children," Savage was outraged, calling it "hate speech."
He said to Joy Behar on the October 12, 2010 broadcast of the 'Joy Behar Show' that Paladino was "[spewing] just this kind of violent, degrading garbage into our culture, into the discourse, and into our politics. It has no place in American life."
Coming from a man with a history of violent, Republican-hating, gruesome sexual rhetoric against social conservatives, that is a Savage irony.

Tell ya what I think
Submitted by misterbee241 on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 11:49am.
I think "gay" teens are committing suicide because people like Savage and other leftists in schools and some churches have indoctrinated the poor kids with the idea that the homosexual lifestyle is right, good, natural, and moral. Then they find out that it is NOT right, good, natural, or moral. Everything in their core is telling them no, but the dying and corrupt culture is telling them yes. And they cant deal with it. I'm not for bullying anybody. And I mean ANYBODY. I think people like Savage are as responsible for those teens deaths as anybody. The kids have been bullied into being homosexual.
Just my 2 cents.

Newsbusters pro-sodomy bias
Submitted by russedav on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 3:56pm.
Sadly most media today, "liberal" "conservative" "Christian" "independent" ... whatever, has an ignorant, unintentional pro-sodomy bias, because they're enslaved by sodomy's tremendous propaganda coup they blindly embrace and will continue to do so, the "homosex-" oxymoron fraud that now controls today's blind world of anti-Christian bigotry, sadly including most professing "christians" too historically and especialy Biblically illiterate even to recognize how they've been branwashed and controlled, like vile fascist child-molesting pervert Kinsey did with our now-defunct morals jurisprudence, exposed at www.drjudithreisman.org. See the propaganda coup exposed by "The gay invention" at http://www.touchstonemag.com/archives/article.php?id=18-10-036-f
Also see http://exodus.to for how many have left the sodomy deathstyle, free via various therapies sodomites want covered up so they can keep people enslaved to their perversion. God made all of us for 1. marriage, or 2. virginity, and all who reject that choice are 3. perverts. Period. Whether you engage in the perversion with one or more men or women or dogs or poles, perversion is still perversion, and some shrinks have rethought their removal of "homosexuality" from the list of mental illnesses and recognize it as a mistake. It doesn't take an extensive look at their behavior to see they're clearly sick; notice I'm stigmatizing behavior, not people, though sodomites have no such limitation, gaily (pun intended) attacking personally those with whom they disagree.
The difference between Heterosexual, and Homosexual sex.
Submitted by Hausmaus on Wed, 07/20/2011 - 5:44pm.
The bottom line between Heterosexual, and Homosexual sex, is the fact that Heterosexual sex does not involve the rectal cavity, thus less messy, and safer. Anybody that considers rectal penetrations to be perfectly normal, and acceptable must have misunderstood the primary purpose of the rectal cavity, which is to expell wastes, or toxins from the body. The rectum wasn't design to be penetrated in any way shape or form. Furthermore, since most of you out there understand the risks of rectal penetrations, those of you who enjoy this type of pervert pleasure are playing russian roulette with the HIV virus.

Why be surprised at what an idiot like Dan Savage says about hoping all Republicans were dead. He doesn't have any legitimate debating points to present so he has to hope Republicans were dead or hopes violence is committed against us. Typical worthless liberal with a 2 ounce brain and a 10 cent opinion.

The guy is gay. I guess that means he has heavy duty...
Submitted by jawebster1 on Thu, 07/21/2011 - 3:29am.
sex with other men. (Picture that in your mind's eye for a second or two...or not!)
In his case, I guess he only has sex with Democratic men because he hates Republicans so much, he wishes they were all dead.
I wonder what he would do if he was left on a desert island with only one other man...a handsome Log Cabin Republican of his same age.
Does this mean he'd wish his sole companion were dead?
P.S. I've never heard of this guy before and if I never hear of him again, it's okay by me.

If they get their way, it will soon be illegal to believe, let alone proclaim a belief, that homosexuality is somehow wrong or aberrant. That's what "hate-crimes" laws are all about - thought control.
