Is John Kerry a bigoted pervert?
Macfistowannabe said:Ran against gay marriage, for starters.
Also, quite a few FYMers refer to social conservatives with the same stances as Kerry as "perverts" and "bigots."
Not saying he's a pervert, but according to some FYMers' definitions, he is.melon said:(seeks example of how he's a pervert)

indra said:I was the one who posted that "religious minded folk" who are oh so interested in other people's sex lives are perverts.
So there's that definition for ya Melon.
melon said:
Oh. Then by that definition, John Kerry is a bigoted pervert. And so is probably 75% of America. It's quite annoying, to say the least.

Thanks, Indra. I was hoping I wouldn't have to look for it myself.indra said:I was the one who posted that "religious minded folk" who are oh so interested in other people's sex lives are perverts.

Of, designating, or characteristic of a political party founded on or associated with principles of social and political liberalism, especially in Great Britain, Canada, and the United States.Irvine511 said:what's a liberal?
Was that really necessary?LPU2 said:The Fox News definition:
a. all those fags you see in pink leather tutus parading down the street in San Francisco
b. all those anti-God atheists you see trying to take God out of Christmas.
c. those responsible for 9/11, the price of gas, teenage pregnancy, abortion, Nambla, insecure borders, Terry Shiavo, Michael Jackson, Ludacris, the Tsunami, Spongebob Squarepants, and reality television.

Is this the self-serving definition or the anti-"conservative" definition?

The intention was not to define "liberal", but since you insist, I would say:Irvine511 said:if Mac can't even define the terms of the leading, baiting question he means to pose -- complete with a line of thinking he's planning to employ to lead us to a predetermined conclusion -- then it doesn't seem as if it's even worth participating in.

Self-defined "progressives", social libertarians, financial populists. I think that's clear enough.
The "free from bigotry" is not what I buy. John Kerry is the example, and the thread is to discuss whether he qualifies under liberal definition as a "bigot," since after all, many of you might refer to Bush in the same way, even though their stance on homosexuality is nearly identical. For civil unions, against gay marriage.
