Carrie Prejean is Utterly Clueless
Those that defend Carrie Prejean continually say she's allowed to state her opinion, and she shouldn't have been punished at the Miss USA Pageant for doing so. We agree.
However, as she continues to milk her newfound fame, it would be nice if Prejean actually had an opinion!
If you're gonan become a spokesperson for a cause, aren't you under an obligation to speak intelligently on that cause, and not just utter the same few words over and over?
Instead, the fake-boobed beauty queen just spouts the same tired line about "protecting traditional marriage," as if gays getting hitched was somehow a direct threat against heterosexual nuptials; and/or as if men and women were trying to protect traditional marriage themselves (the current divorce rate in America: 48%!).
During an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News last night, Prejean literally could not provide an answer to a pair of questions directly related to the issue of gay marriage: civil unions and adoption.
Look at me! I can recite the same five words again and again: I just support traditional marriage!
Seriously, gay marriage haters and Bible thumpers, is this the woman you want representing your views?
Greta Van Susteren : What is your thought on civil unions?
Carrie Prejean: My thought on civil unions? You know what, Greta? I don't have the answers to everything. I'm not running for political office. I don't have the answers to everything, you know, in the world out there. But I think that there should be rights for people, you know, especially in California. I think that people that are homosexual should have some rights, you know, hospital rights, and things like that.
But I would like to be more educated on that, so when I do have a better answer for you, I will get back to you on that one.
But so far I just support traditional marriage, and that's my main focus.
Greta Van Susteren: What about adoption?
Carrie Prejean: Greta, I am focusing on marriage right now, not adoption, not civil unions, just traditional marriage, and I'm going to do whatever it takes to promote that.
Seemingly, "whatever it takes" simply involves smiling for the camera and uttering the same few words over and over, without any reasonable explanation behind her views.
One more thing: during the Miss California Pageant, Prejean referred to the Special Olympics as a key part of her platform.
Why has she not uttered a word in public about this event since? It can't be because that isn't as controversial - and, therefore, as attention-grabbing - an issue as gay marriage, can it?!?

My Christian husband and I feel that the photographs of Ms.Prejean were not wrong or not Christian.It is our belief, however, that wearing panties in red, hot pink, purple, blue, yellow, green, or in any sort of animal print is wrong.Panties like these are Satan's panties.Christians should only wear white panties; Christ's panties,we like to call them in our Christian home.Since Carrie was only seventeen, she probably did not yet realize that white panties are more appropriate for a female Christian role model when posing for photographs. Since she so bravely stated her opinion against boys and boys, and girls and girls marrying, that will cancel out her unChristian choice of hot pink panties. My Christian husband has repeatedly looked at Carie's photos over the past several days and he assures both of my teenage daughters and I that THIS IS what a young, Christian, female role model looks like. With the exception of the hot pink panties,of course. The photos he took of our teenage dau

Nothing is Written- how is she exposing the 'ignorance and bigotry of the religious right' just because she is voicing her oppinion? To me bigotry means imposing & forcing one's own values down someone else's throat, and that is what you're doing by saying she should only be how you think she should be and not have any different opinion. People- Start respecting others' RIGHT to have their own OPINION! That's what is so enraging- it's not about gay rights, it's not about religion, it's about us respecting each other enough to agree to disagree & GROWING UP!!!!!

I want to recruit Carrie Prejean to make lots of Aryan babies
. With her blonde hair (however bleached it may be) and blue eyes (or is it contacts?) and even her fake tits she would make a perfect Aryan mother!

She was asked about civil unions, and she replied that she felt that gays should have certain rights, such as hospital visitation. Yet you say she didn't answer the question.
If civil unions aren't about legal rights, then what are they about?
Then, she side-stepped the question about adoption, because she was smart enough to see that the questioner was trying to conflate the gay-marriage argument with red herrings and side-bars. They laid a patently-obvious trap for her and she didn't take the bait.
Who's the utterly clueless one now?

She is an airhead. There's a lot of them in the Fundie world. And a big LOL to "purpose of marriage is procreation". Carrie Prejean, can you pretty please include banning infertility and the choice not to procreate in your jihad to protect the "sanctity of marriage"? That would just make my day ROTFLMAO :) This airhead has done more to expose the ignorance and bigotry of the religious right than anyone since Loving vs. Virginia.

This nation has a 47-year-old president who, when he is not using a teleprompter, says "uh" so many times that counting it has become a segment on Letterman. It has a 66-year-old vice-president who remarked that the future president was "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean". It has a 50-year-old MSNBC news anchor who sees fit to personally vilify 21-year-old Carrie Prejean as if she had turned him down as a prom date.
Miss Prejean, on the other hand, does not use a teleprompter, stays on topic, does not engage in ad hominem attacks and is gracious to her hosts.
As for Miss Prejean refusing to answer Greta's tangential questions, that's actually very mature of her. (Wasn't the President congratulated for saying that he likes to know what he is talking about before giving an answer?) Miss Prejean is to some extent protesting against the Newspeak redefinition of "marriage", the purpose of which, she has clearly said, is procreation. "Civil un

The moron is the fruit & nut who asked the question. If he didn't want the truth from her and instead wanted a "politically pacifying" answer then he shouldn't be one of the people asking questions. After she answered, he looked like he was about to have a toddler tantrum, except he was on national TV. Smart boy, or whatever, to keep his mouth quiet after the answer on the show. Of course the next day, he spit all the spew he wanted to.

The homosexual asked a political and religious question. She gave her honest answer to this controversial question.
The homo vulgarly referred to her later in public, saying that she should have not given a Politically Incorrect answer. If he did not want an honest answer to his trick question then why did he ask it? He was completely dishonest and sleazy. Why was a homosexual a judge in a women's beauty contest anyway? The whole Miss USA Contest officials should be ashamed of themselves, and publically apologize to her for their subsequent statements and behavior. FYI I am not a Christian and do not accept their ideas. But I do believe in American values and the First Amendment (freedom of speech). As the prosecutor admonished Sen. Joe McCarthy in the early 1950's: Where is your honor? Sadly it was nonexistent in the Miss USA contest except for one courageous woman.
Miss Prejean is the only person who showed honor and integrity in the situation.

Just add a few "fer shurs" and "whatevers", and you have the eternal wisdom of a genuine, bleach-blonde, California valley girl. I hope the right wing Nazis for Jesus continue to put her out there as a beacon for their cause. She is a moron.
