The Hollywood Gossip Calls Out Perez Hilton
We love politics at The Hollywood Gossip, but we tend to keep our posts geared towards Ashley Dupre, or George W. Bush and the Easter Bunny.
In other words, we try to keep opinions to ourselves and focus on humor or scandal. Other celebrity gossip sites, however, can't help themselves.
A post on Perez Hilton today rips Democratic candidate Barack Obama over his connections to another controversial minister, Rev. James T. Meeks.
Perez details Rev. Meeks' inflammatory comments on gays and race, yet declines to mention that Obama has condemned homophobia on many occasions, and even met with gay leaders in New York in the last 48 hours. Disgraceful indeed.
It's a blatant and shameful attempt by Perez, a devout Hillary Clinton supporter, to slander Barack Obama, who he apparently thinks should be held accountable for the political views of every person he has ever associated with.
Noticeably absent from the article as well? Any connections Hillary might have to shady individuals. The former First Lady is a strong candidate for president, but there are more than a few skeletons (and ugly clothes) in that closet, no?
Perez Hilton needs to stick with what he's good at (or at least best known for), rather than subjecting us to his political opinions - and making cheap attacks.
You could least try to give a more balanced portrait, Perez. We don't judge you based on everything your BFF Spencer Pratt says or does. Think about it.
It's one thing to scribble lame comments on celebrity pics. It's another to back up your nonsensical, biased views. It's time for Perez to put up or shut up!
Enough is enough. The Hollywood Gossip hereby challenges Perez Hilton to a fair debate on the candidates... anytime, anywhere.
Can we taunt the blue-haired one enough to make him accept? With your help, readers, Yes We Can! Follow the link to his article HERE, leave a comment on Perez's site and tell him to respond to The Hollywood Gossip's challenge!
Let's see what this hack is made of.

you are just bitter his sight is worth MILLIONS and you guys are lucky to get 100 hits a day... perez has been very fair to both candidates DESPITE his own views... its not his fault barack obama is a less then reputable inexperienced candidate who came out of the woodwork and tricked uneducated people like yourself into blindly following him- but again that's not perez's problem

Thank you for FINALLY calling out Perez! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sick of his constant Pro-Hillary agenda and Anti-everyone else.
His biased opinions in the Presidential race are outrageous. I have to laugh at how he ALWAYS calls out Republicans, and yet when Eliot Spitzer was outed for banging a prostitute, he refused to mention that he's a Democrat.
I for one cannot stand Hillary or her hideous pantsuits! She's going down and I can't wait to post it in EVERY single comment on his page when the time comes-ha!

It's rather amusing that a gossip sight would be so harsh to another blog..... Perez can say whatever the hell he damn feels, just as you can....its one of the few things still legitimate about the American consitution. You are ironically offended when Perez speaks his mind about who he supports, yet say nothing about the hundreds of celebrities showing one-sided support for a specific canidate. If you don't like Perezs blog then maybe you should spend more time researching celeb gossip and less time reading other peoples blogs......

I L-O-V-E Perez. He's informed about these candidates. Why don't you call Hillary out on her "skeletons" if you want someone to do it? I hope his posts take votes away from Barack and get them added to Hillary's vote-bank.

Seriously, you know fat f**k cries while he jerks it

Considering the fact that the media has, on a whole, not critiqued Obama the way it has Hillary, I can't quite get any righteous indignation together about his post. What he points out is legitimate - a candidate has multiple very close ties to people with controversial beliefs and repeatedly admits to taking advice from them. It follows that his beliefs would be influenced by these people.
That being said, the fact that a man who draws cum and penises on photos of celebrities is being ascribed this much political influence is a little embarassing. Or hilarious.

i actually agree with this article ... perez may be the go to guy for celeb gossip and scoop but he should keep politics out of it or at least provide unbaised coverage...

America will not elect this big-earred Mac Daddy, so just keep dreamin' son...

Perez is a loser and he should stop bashing Obama for people he has known in the past. Perez is now a wannabe star. Why don't the paps follow him around and see how he likes it.

Mario Lavandeira has banned several people (myself included) from posting comments on his website "PerezHilton.com" by blocking their email and IP addresses because they dared criticise him and tell him to be fair in his comments about Obama vs Hillary! How come this man cannot handle criticisms when he makes his living out of insulting/criticizing others?...There is a say on the World Wide Web: "For every person who loves Mario Lavandeira alias Perez Hilton, three others hate him"!
I AM WRITING THIS EMAIL FOR THE SAKE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. All advertisers on PerezHilton.com should support the Freedom of Speech, not people who prevent others from expressing their opinion simply because they disagree with them!
Every serious organization/company should defend/protect the FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Do NOT support Mario Lavendeira's agenda.

I'm excercising my right to oppose perez's blatant bias against obama. i will not view his blog thru the primary. the same thing for SNL, who (effectively) endorsed h clinton.

Obama's unexperienced? For the record: Obama served eight years in the Illinois state Senate and is halfway through his first term in the U.S. Senate. Clinton is about to begin her eighth year in the U.S. Senate. Going by years spent as an elective official, Obama's 11 years exceeds Clinton's seven, which in turn exceeds Edwards' six. But it's a silly calculus, and OH! I forgot she was married to the president boy is that a qualifier. And yes, I know my comment is late
