Gay Politician Threatens To Murder Miss California
ALAN Duncan, gay shadow Leader of the House of Commons, is on BBC’s TV’s Have I Got News For You, making a death threat against one Miss Carrie Prejean, 21, star of the Miss America beauty pageant.
(Carrie Prejean – nominative determinalism at work again.)
When asked by Perez Hilton whether the U.S. should legalise gay marriage in every state, Prejean replied:
“I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offence to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think it should be - between a man and a woman.”
Hilton then went on air to say how anyone who doesn’t respect another human’s point of view is “bitch” and should be mugged. Intolerance will not be tolerated!
Duncan, who married his partner James Dunseath last year, calls Prejean a “silly bitch”. Adding, tautologically, “I don’t agree with her at all.”
Duncan he could not leave it there, and continued:
“If you read that Miss California has been murdered, you will know it was me, won’t you?”
Only joking. Says Duncan:
“Of course it was in jest. It is a comedy show after all. I’m sure Miss Prejean’s very beautiful and that if we were to meet we would love each other. I have no plans to kill her. I’ll send her a box of chocolates - unpoisoned.”
Duncan has form on attempts at comedy:
Duncan, when shadow business secretary, told Seven magazine:
“People who don’t say thank you at a zebra crossing deserve to be run over.”
But of course, to be really funny you have to be a Daily Mail reader, and one who responds to the story thus:
Alan Duncan’s “joke” is not a joke really, but an expression of his internal world, which he has to keep suppressed due to his position. I can only guess how much hatred is going on in private about decent people like Ms Prejean!

The real trouble with politicians is that if you highlighted every of their absurdities and laughable manners, politics would collapse.
Perhaps this is why Duncan feels a need to make his jokes so obvious - so that we are able to spot them?

Whereas objections to Mr. Duncan’s comment have generally been met with a defense of free (albeit tasteless) speech, Parliament recently voted, by an overwhelming majority, to reject the defense of free speech in a context that mirrors that of Mr. Duncan’s remark.
That context is best illustrated by the following statement made by John Bercow, MP, (also a Conservative), during the House of Commons debate on the Coroners and Justice Bill on January 26th:
“The creation of the offense of homophobic hate crime…was designed to catch, among other things, despicable homophobic lyrics in reggae songs, such as…’All gay men should die’. May I put it…that the so-called free speech amendment was at best superfluous, and at worst deeply objectionable? Some — although not all — of its supporters would not even know how to spell the word equality, let alone sign up to it.”

Perez Hilton is among the lib americans who will destroy America. God had destroyed Sodom and Gomorhha because of their sinful ways: same sex. Rome was destroyed from within because of the same issue: extreme liberalism amd sinful ways. Will Americans want to follow the footsteps of these great ancient cities? I wish I can a be world leader and I will place Perez Hilton (and the rest of americans who like to rewrite God’s laws) in an isolated place with a lot of wolves and bears and dinosaurs.

If the same had been said by a contestant at a boy’s beauty pageant, the twunt would probably have shagged the corpse.

Blimey… back to front AND in moderation…

Trouble is he just wasn’t funny on any level and he thought he was.
Free Speech…. Miss California is entitled to her views and to be fair, she answered a loaded question very politely.
More than can be said for Mr Duncan who really should know better.
Will these posts all be back to front as well??
