Isn't Randall Terry an idiot?

[liberalitch]

This man, who owes child support for his own children, has always tried to direct the reproductive choices of women.
,,, and now he is claiming that a woman with no cerebral cortex has prayed with him!

PS: Lots of good people are behind or can't pay child support.... I know that..... but they don't try to tell others about parenthood

1. God sent us Randall Terry to show how the Rethugs pandered

to fundementalists in order to get elected. As Terry pointed out, the fundies supported the Bush junta so that they could put in place a theocracy that would allow the immoral to run the country.

He is saying that Repubs that refuse to follow their (God's) will have no chance of being re-elected.

Bless his little black heart!

2. I guess the baby jesus told him that...

'cuz it was good friday

[Capn Sunshine]

24. Baby Jesus is

right here for you

[RaleighNCDUer]

3. You slander idiots.

Randall is fucking insane.

(Yeah, yeah, I know that is not the PC word, but I stand by it.)

[Warpy]

11. He's a psychopath

Who has figured out a way to scam a whole lot of people by playing to the basest, most superstitious, least rational parts of their natures.

He doesnt believe a fucking word he spews. It's a SCAM, and it's paid him very well over the years, to the tune of mansions in Florida and Texas (if not elsewhere). He has no conscience. He has no empathy.

Psychopaths are all very charming and delightful to be around as long as you don't get too close. Or if they don't discover a way to manipulate you.

4. Ye, yes he is. Good question for a Saturday morning--very easy! nt

[ClassWarrior]

6. C'mon, b.a.l... That's a Radical RW frame that lowers expectations...

...and makes us look juvenile. YOU of all people should know better.

NGU.

[blondeatlast]

10. Good point; but sometimes one is just compelled to react from

the gut!

[ClassWarrior]

12. I understand.

:hug:

But remember, they can ONLY win when they get us to lose control. That's why they constantly appeal to our baser instincts. We need to be steadfast. We're better than that.

Never Give Up.

[ClassWarrior]

5. Why do so many of us go right for the third grade insult?

The man's probably very intelligent. The point is that he's evil and criminal and hateful. Let's not undermine our own positions by being juvenile.

Read "Don't Think of an Elephant" by George Lakoff - it explains how the Radical RW aren't stupid or insane, they have a different, albeit sick, worldview.

NGU.

7. No, in Randall Terry's case, he is quite literally insane

Sane people don't tell their followers to "let a wave of hatred and intolerance wash over them". He is as mental as the Phelps Klan if not worse.

[ClassWarrior]

8. Fine, hold onto your prejudices and blind yourself to reality

These people are calculating, criminal corporatists who say and do what seem like insane things to consolidate their power.

But why let that stand in the way of a good hate, right?

<shakin my head>

NGU.

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. These people aren't all the same.

Your calculating, criminal corporatists are using nutjobs like Randall. It gives them deniability while at the same time uses the whackos' blatant emotionalism to stir up the gullible.

They tried the same thing in German in the 20s and 30s, only the corporatists lost control of the nutjobs who wound up seizing control and plunging the world into a war that wound up costing better than 60 million lives.

We need to coolly, rationally recognise each for what they are -- the fascists, and the nazi true believers. The neo-cons and the the nutjobs that they are using.

[ClassWarrior]

22. Agreed, but they're not stupid or insane... and to charactarize them...

...as such only aids them in getting away with their fascist shit.

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

14. Besides, "idiot" (OP) and "insane" (your post) are quite different.

Other than the fact that they're both third grade insults.

NGU.

[blondeatlast]

13. Actually--you have a good point. Terry is probably a mad genius.

And to assume that he is anything but is dangerous when dealing with mad geniuses.

I suspect that he is evil, if such a thing really exists.

If there is one thing Terry does know, it is how to play the people against the politicians.

Look what he's done to Jebbie, who may see his presidential aspirations die when Mrs. Schiavo does...

9. The Schindler family went to him to get their "cause" more exposure

One has to ask about the family more than the hypocrisy of Randall. He's a complete shill, but the question needs to be whether it was a smart decision for the Schindler family to go to him...

[blondeatlast]

15. Did they go to him, or did he go to them? nt

[vixengrl]

21. Good question.

I think creeps like him sense the opportunity, like leeches smell blood.

[glaeken777]

23. there are multiple stories...

... but most concur that THEY approached him, so I'd go with that.

I can't think of a suitable pro-life spokesperson for the family, as most of them come off as extremist... but Terry is the king. Still, one wonders if they couldn't have come up with someone a tad more reputable and balanced. Sad, sad.

[Skittles]

16. he is a sick, twisted, pathetic piece of shit

I lost any shred of respect for Ms. Schiavo's parents when they brought that nasty piece of work onboard

[Suziq]

17. An Idiot . .

yes, but more importantly, HE IS A TERRORIST!




:hippie:

[deadparrot]

19. Why do you hate America?

:)

In all seriousness, he's worse than an idiot. He's a terrorist, plain and simple.

[leftofthedial]

20. terrorist

liar

deadbeat

yeah, a worthy spokesperson for the religious right

he comes up a bit short (as far as we know) in the pedophilia, sex offender, drug addict areas, which are usually a requirement for a right-wing blabbing head, but he's enough of a sociopath that we can let these deficiencies slide.
