HRC Statement on Teachable Moment in Rhode Island

by

This just in:

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) – the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization – today called on American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) President Gerald W. McEntee to come out against the kind of anti-LGBT bullying sadly typified by a union activist protesting in Rhode Island.  According to media accounts, union activists participating in a AFSCME solidarity rally caught a cameraman reporting the protest’s lackluster attendance.  That prompted one activist to respond by saying, ““I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!”” [sic]

“Anti-gay language by union activists often starts in the workplace – or at least, that’s where it should be stopped,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese.  “It is our sincere hope that Gerald McEntee will take this opportunity to speak out and condemn these kinds of insensitive remarks.  It’s time for union leaders to teach their members a lesson in decency and respect.”


Yeah, right. Once you’ve read this, make sure to click on the link above and you’ll get my point.

  9. The issue, Paula, plain and simple is this: did the union activist use that expression, yes or no. Not who filmed it. Just because some social conservative captured the moment doesn’t make the slur any less offensive.

    (Have you shown that the union activist didn’t say those things? If an engineered event makes it somehow illegitimate, will you now claim that everything Governor Walker said to the David Koch imposter was irrelevant because that event was “engineered”? And that we should all disregard the call and that no media should have reported it? Recall, Paula, you were quick to chime it about that call on this blog, bringing it up in the comments section before I had even heard the story.)

  10. the issue is IS he a union activist…. or an actor?

    now you have mislead that this was shot by an independent crew… when it was not…

    and I already knew about the plants….

    So it really has me wonder just what kind of scam just might be being run here and I now have one of our reporters…. digging….

  11. Over at ‘Box Turtle Bulletin’ they’re posting commentaries with headlines like, “Anti-Gay Activists React to DOMA Announcement”. Having said that, I just posed a question to one of their bloggers, a Mr Timothy Kinkaid…. I asked him, “Why has BTB remained so closed mouth about incidents like the one that took place in Rhodes Island ?”

  25. I am not at all suprised by this. The left in this country is as *homophobic* as any Islamic nation … HRC and the other left-wing gay fascists choose NOT to see it; Obama hobnobs with his pan-Arab friends, while GLBT in the Middle East are slaughtered. Even George Bush came out in a statement condemning the murder of homosexuals overseas. So, a union thug using such language … NOT at all suprised. Its part of the hated, bigotry and racsim of the left.

  26. to Our Miss Brooks…..

    You got a lot of nerve. What with Wisconsin school mom’s intentionally phoning in false statements of their health. Shady doctors writing fraudulent excuses. And state senators hiding out at a Motel 6 across state lines…. You can’t be surprised when people reading your comments think you’re just one more Liberal fool, proffering a fallacious argument of your own.

  29. Just wait on those facts…. we are getting them… hun…

    And trust me the article will be put together so everyone who reads it will understand just what those fact are and who we talked to to get them.

    And when we run that article… we will be sure to give you a H/T

  30. I see the headline now… “Lesbian discovers spell check! H/T Gaypatriot for showing writer her spelling sucks!”

    Is this story going to include the Pipefitter’s Union freeing France?

  35. And when we run that article… we will be sure to give you a H/T

    Oh my…

    I go away for a couple of weeks and return to find we’ve been set upon by a delusional, self-absorbed, narcissistic bullshit artist who refers to her sad little self as the royal “we.”

    You stay classy, leftards!

  37. I figured the RealCarpetMonster would have been back by now with her “breaking news”. Guess her “girl” got distracted by a conveniently placed turkey baster?

  41. >>>The issue, Paula, plain and simple is this: did the union activist use that expression, yes or no. Not who filmed it. Just because some social conservative captured the moment doesn’t make the slur any less offensive.

    Not true.

    Watch the video. There is no indication of what was going on before the camera moved over and picked up the incident. What this alleged “citizen journalist” (a joke of a phase used by the rarely, if ever, civil Ms Malkin) said or did before the camera picked up the action matters immensely.

    What exactly did this “social conservative” do or say to provoke the attack?

  42. And what did Rep Lewis say or do to have the (non-existant) slur thrown at him.

    Using your standards Granny Goodness, if that event happened (which it didn’t) then surely he did something to provoke it.

    Yet another fact free post from Granny Goodness.

  43. #42 – “What exactly did this “social conservative” do or say to provoke the attack?”

    In other words: “I was wearing a short skirt and walking down a dark alley, your honor.”

    That’s the kind of argument that will get you into trouble, Auntie Bitch.

    PS – Still waiting on my apology, but then again I’m better off waiting to be named Eliot Spitzer’s new sidekick on CNN.

  45. Yea, when some Tea Party person has an offensive sign or does something ridiculous, they’re a plant. When a “Union Goon” does it, take it at face value, no questions asked.

    Funny especially because tea party activists have recently suggested impersonating “Union Goons” at union events in order to drum up stories just like this one.

  46. Why do I get the feeling that “Paula Brooks” is actually a 14-year old boy with self esteem issues blogging from Mom’s basement?

    It’s worse than that. Ms. Brooks is apparently educated, but comes across as a 14 y/o. If you’re scenario were true, that would be understandable.

    Yea, when some Tea Party person has an offensive sign or does something ridiculous, they’re a plant.

    Because it has Lyndon LaRouche’s website printed right on the sign. Also, when you wave a sign around with Obama as Hitler and then you start handing out campaign literature for a liberal, it’s a pretty good bet that you’re a plant.

    But then the cock bites at PMSNBC won’t tell you that.
