Go on! Shoo! Straights only!
Fox News is giving gay GOP presidential candidate Fred Karger the shaft. Karger claims that despite meeting Fox News’ criteria, they wouldn’t allow him to slip into the Ames, Iowa debate yesterday. Fox news claims that Karger does not meet the requirement that he average at least 1% in at least 5 national polls and be at least 50% less fabulous than Michelle Bachmann’s husband.
Karger does have the five polls to back his application but Fox is not having it.
Fox: “Such polls do not qualify for the purposes of meeting the debate criteria.”
To which Karger responded, “These aren’t the nonscientific polls that your friends use, these are real polling agencies here.” Oh, no he didn’t!
The cat fight continued as Fox declared that the polls were not recent enough but so far has failed to define what “recent enough” means.
Karger, determined to not to be cock-blocked by Fox, has threatened to bring a complaint to the F.E.C.
”By federal law, they have to have what’s called ‘preexisting criteria,’ and that means they can’t just be random like you’re in and you’re not.”
Made up rumors (by me) have it that Michelle Bachmann has refused to take the stage with a homosexual. When asked, during a Newsweek photo shoot, about how she still appears in public with her husband, Bachmann became highly agitated which may explain this controversial cover.
Rick Santorum is not rumored to have said, “Could be worse, the debate could be hosted by Google…”
That Karger doesn’t have a chance in hell of making past the rabid homophobia of the Republican primary voters isn’t the point, the fact is that Fox won’t even let him try and that’s totally gay.
If you can’t laugh at Right Wing bigotry, what can you laugh at?

Most people want to see a “normal” person!! There are so many things I could say!! What area is being judged? NORMAL???… “normal IQ”…take away Baby Bush…take away Bachman and Palin!!!
“normal” height, weight…take away anyone below or above the “norm”…does “normal” apply to the
number of children? the pet they have (or don’t have…) their religion?
Give me a break!!! Normal……? I didn’t want a “normal president when I voted in the last election!
I wanted ABOVE normal and got it!!! Obama 2012!!!
FOX prefers its candidates and “personalities” fully closeted.
Fox isn’t being homophobic. The polls used were too regional and didn’t give a good representation of voting tendencies.
I’m not really sure how far this guy expected to get though. I think we can agree that most people want to see a normal president in office, and by being open about his homosexuality he really is cutting himself off from a lot of the Republican demographic.
Normal? You ninny. Define “normal”…
Sorry, I probably should have said straight. Why are you all attacking me so much for using one, slightly mischosen word? Sexuality is like coca cola. You have normal coke, and you have diet coke, then a bunch of others. You have normal people and you have gay people, then a bunch of others. If you see a guy across the street and you want to refer to him you might say ‘look at that guy there’. If the guy had limp wrists, was wearing bright clothes etc, you might say ‘look at that gay guy there’.
And you have normal people and you have black people. Right. You totally don’t look like a jackass.
Especially not with your last sentence. My god, do you think everyone wearing bright clothes and lacking tough guy mannerisms is gay? people like you are the reason I got my ass kicked into being STERILE during highschool you fucking joke of a human being.
and one might say: “Hey, look at that ass try to defend his use of the word ‘normal’”.
“One, slightly mischosen word”? Really? Do you totally lack the metacognition to see that what you wrote is a fantastically “mischosen” word?
Hit a dictionary JJ and quit trying to hold on to how right you are. Go with an apology, learn something and move on.
Do otherwise and you will continue to look very, very stupid.
RuPaul for President!!!
I wanted to participate in survey on the greatest threats facing our nation, but sadly I couldn’t, because Fox News wasn’t on the list.
Republicans don’t care if you’re gay, they only care if you admit it!
Or if your republican and get caught like some people we know lol
Fox News is SOOOOOOO Takei.
