MSNBC Host Openly Mocks Gay Conservative in On-Air Interview

“Why on God’s green earth are you a Republican?” MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur asked GOProud chairman Christopher Barron. Instead of discussing the recent denunciation of his group by other conservative organizations — which is likely why Barron was invited on to speak in the first place — the MSNBC “interview” consisted only of Uygur mocking and laughing at Barron to his face, dismissing the notions that someone could be both gay and conservative (apparently being gay is the only issue Uygur thinks gays care about) and that conservatives are a “welcoming” crowd.
How very tolerant of him…
“I have an easier time being openly gay with conservatives than I do being a conservative with other gay people,” Barron said.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:39pmWhen did The YOUNG TURKS Shmuck, liberal, pantywaste get a job at PMSNBC? I believe that DADT told everyone in the military to “shut the hell up, and mind your own PRIVATE business.” GOPROUD’s Mr. Barron was defending his privacy and even mentioned that he didn‘t believe that GOV’T needs to step in and parade his sexual proclivaties around. Conservatism is a way of life, and Republicans are merely a title. I could be wrong, but I dare say that the GoProud is welcoming to non-homosexuals.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:33pmThe boy said “I was born gay.” BS alert BS alert !!.. He was born a sinner no doubt, just like myself and you the reader. The gay part is a perverted lust condition (combined with a selfesteem deficit)(NOT a dna deficit) that, by the way could have infected any of us, but the awareness of Right vs Wrong and the nurturing from the Truth keeps the majority from straying in that direction. To those who have this damning affliction, if you are drawing breath, it’s not too late to turn about (repent with the help of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ). Then, let’s stand together against the progressive/socialist/NWO attack on our country.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 11:45pmDo you believe being gay is a choice? Sounds like you do. Well, my friend, i’m not gay but i believe it is how some people are born. The reason i believe this is because, unlike you, i could never choose to be gay. I could do it. Period. But you, on the other hand, must have some sort of gay leanings in you if you think it would be possible to just “decide” to be gay. I have noticed that the people who get the most angry about gays are people like you who probably are gay but refuse to aknowlege it. You need to come out of the closet and be true to yourself.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:45amI have heard it said that you cannot tell your heart who to love. But I am a Christian who believes that the Holy Bible is the infallible Word of God and when The Almighty says something is wrong (an abomination), I take Him at His Word. Believing in God‘s stand on homosexuality does not make one a ’closet gay’ anymore than standing in a library makes one a scholar. And here is the hypocrisy of the left…they bash conservative Christians for their stand on homosexuality, but say nothing to muslims for their stand…which is exactly the same, except we don’t call for them to be executed.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:00pmCENK IS A PUTZ and has no idea what he is talking about.
conservatives form my experience, though they dont agree with the lifestyle gays have chosen to live, dont hate. hate is a liberal issue, and always has been. conservatives on the other hand, can disagree without the hate, and come together on the issues that matter.
the whole problem conservatives have with the gay movement, is some people want to force us to accept, teach our kids it A- OK, and remove parents ability to teach our children our morals and standards as we see fit……….this is exampled numerous times in the effort being put into our school curriculum and entertainment programming.
as i see it, the correct terminology concerning conservatives and gays is dont ask dont tell
we dont agree with it, we dont want to hear about what goes on in your bedroom, and we hold everyone to this standard, gay or straight.
and another similar example is how the black conservative is treated with the liberals………can you say hateful?
if the majority of the democratic black population truly understood the political history of the democrats, and contemplate democratic policy and how is truly affects their neighborhoods and families, they would never vote democrat again.
who here has made any attempt to really show them the truth? this man has tried, have you ?

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 2:42amPC Be DAMNED……. Phewwww… where to start with your outbursts bro!
You are blind to your own sin. You are wearing the fig leaf of self-righteousness that Adam and Eve tried to cover up with. Railing against sinners DOES NOT CLOTHE YOU IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. It is the same problem that Job had, and it took him losing everything – his buisness intrests, his riches, his kids, his wife‘s support and finally his health to whittle him down to the place where God Himself could finally make his case against Job’s EGO.
Let me ask you the same embarrassing question that Jesus constantly put to the “religious scholars” of his day….. HAVE YOU NOT READ where it is written that Christ counsled those who would walk in true righteousness would not condemn (pass judgement) on others?
Does it mean nothing to you that he said that those who would say to their brothers RACA would be in danger of the Judgement of God?
Maybe Paul’s words to those of us who are spiritual lifting up those caught in sin are not part of your understanding of what God expects of us? Did he not admonish humility on our part because sin “So EASILY besets ALL of us?”
And Michah was smoking something when he popped off with “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Report Post »You saying you HATE Child Molesters, rapists, those who commit Beastiality etc, shows that you don’t see things the way our Father sees them. He hates sin. He commands against it. But he offers us the hope forgiveness when we turn away from our sins.
Even hating and railing against Satan himself is not permitted! Jude vv 9: “But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
All I can do is humbly plead with you to examine yourself honestly. Christ’s disciples asked if a village that turned them away should be destroyed with fire from Heaven. Christ was astonished with them, and told them “you guys don’t know what Spirit you are of!”
What Spirit is guiding you PC? The Carnal Spirit blinded by the dark side, or God’s spirit of longsuffering and ultimate hope?

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 6:40pmI agree with you, Patriot- we are the party of limited government, free markets and personal liberty and responsibility. My favourite line of this interview is Mr. Barron saying that he feels much more comfortable and accepted as a gay man among Conservatives than he does as a Conservative man among other gays. I think that the fact that many of us are Christian and therefore as non-judgmental as we can be as mere human beings, contributes to our accepting nature. We try to abide by the golden rule and the commandments and I like to think that the same is true for all Americans, whatever their religion or faith, who also try to live their lives by these same basic principles. Common courtesy and respect for human dignity used to be the norm- I think we can all agree that this would be a great time for a comeback.

I smell a rat. Are you trying to play Conservatives. You can’t do it as we are well read and studied. This commentator who I know nothing about was correct in his statements and his guest was pulling a sham to try and convince we conservatives that homosexuals can ever be a part of our movement. They cannot, we will reject homosexuality as we reject child molesters and true racists and wife beaters and those who practice necrophilia and beastiality and all other forms of perversion. Got it. We will never need your numbers as such will only pollute our righteous cause.Be a democrat. We have already won. Death means nothing to us.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 6:40amPCBEDAMNED, please don’t say “we”. Conservative doesn’t mean “Christian” ever time, and though yes, there are anti-gays in the conservative movement, not all of us are, not by far. I consider the anti-gays fringe in fact, so don’t use the all-inclusive “we” to make your point. I served in the Marine Corps and always felt that gays should be allowed to serve this great nation if they felt the calling as I did. I also feel they should be allowed to enter into a social contract to enjoy the same privileges as married couples. AND I believe it is a matter for each church to decide whether their religion allows gays to be married, NOT the state. (can‘t believe THAT issue hasn’t come before the supreme court)

Report Post »PC Be Damned – If you actually carry that much hate in your heart, it cannot be good for you. My 2 cents.
When, and if, God himself touches me and appoints me as his equal or appoints me as surrogate, I would then feel it appropriate to judge my fellow humans. Until then, I stand by the simple premise that we ALL have but one judge. We, as humans, are all so far from perfect that we have VERY little right, or capacity, to judge ANYONE.
This segment is further proof that the progressive party of “tolerance” is nothing but a shallow display of self – righteousness and exclusion.
As a conservative, I feel it important to be inclusive, if one’s philosophies hew to the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.
Our country’s greatness, diminishing though it may be, is a result of acceptance and inclusion.
There are laws against bestiality, child molestation, etc. Laws of the USA.
The rules, and enforcement of them, within one’s religion are to be dealt with WITHIN THAT RELIGION, until and unless they conflict with the LAW OF THE LAND.
This is why Sharia Law is so dangerous. There is no distinction between Church and State. They are, by necessity, one and the same.
If this man feels more comfortable being a conservative, hey, more power to him , and his organization.
Bring the firepower. Please enlighten me if I am off the reservation.
Once again, my 2 cents.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 11:50pmYou see, to the narrow minded lib progressives, conservative only means Christian, or even worse, Catholic. Therefore limited federal government as a conservative plank = Christian…BAD. Liberty and freedom as a conservative plank = Christian…BAD. They can’t understand that the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence and rights guaranteed in the Constitution are a good thing for all people. If a gay or black or hispanic or woman believes that, then they have something in common with conservatives and you can’t have that. Most libs are throwing away their freedoms becuase of an irrational hatred of conservatism.

It shouldn’t matter who you are or what you do, as long as you support individual liberty, including the liberty of sexual preference, you can be considered a Conservative.
The problem is most conservative bring their emotions to the table too often. I understand your religion says homosexuality is wrong but that’s for them to deal with and for your God to judge when they pass away. In this world, who are you to judge them? Those without sin cast the first stone, right? All sin is equal in the eyes of the Lord, right?

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 5:07pm@UPSETVET I feel like the notion that you aren’t born gay but choose to be gay are ideas based on individuals who may fear they might be gay. Have you had same sex thoughts or desires?
The reason I ask is this. I’m a straight man. I love women. I have never had a thought about another man that I do with a women and I cannot see myself ever having those desires. That’s why I believe you are born that way. In order for someone to believe that it’s a choice that same individual must believe that they hold that capacity to make that choice. If you do not believe you hold the capacity to make such a sexual preference, then you are being a hypocrite saying that others do. How the hell do you know what others are capable of choosing? Only YOU know what YOU are capable of choosing. So if you believe that homosexuality is a choice you MUST believe that you are capable of making that choice. Otherwise, if you are incapable to make that choice, who’s to say anyone makes this choice to be gay?
