Remember wacky American commentator Ann Coulter, she of Newsnight fame? Well, apparently her brand of right-wing lunacy knows no bounds:
Ms. COULTER: I think that sort of rampant promiscuity does show some level of latent homosexuality.
DEUTSCH: OK, I think you need to say that again. That Bill Clinton, you think on some level, has — is a latent homosexual, is that what you’re saying?
Ms. COULTER: Yeah. I mean, not sort of just completely anonymous — I don’t know if you read the Starr report, the rest of us were glued to it, I have many passages memorized. No, there was more plot and dialogue in a porno movie.
Read the transcript from Wonkette to get the full effect. Warning: may contain nuts.
(Via Crooks and Liars, which also reports her more succinct comment about Clinton’s VP: “Al Gore — total fag”.)
“may contain nuts”
Why is there any element of doubt there? To link promiscuity and homosexuality is to effectively out every adulterer in history… including JFK.
She probably hates JFK too…
Well, if what she says is true, it does rather mean that, considering the enormous numbers of promiscuous supposedly straight men over the centuries, it probably isn’t a good idea to be toocritical of homosexuality. Indeed there it is a very strong argument forencouraging homosexuality because these latent homosexual promiscuous heterosexual men like Clinton are harming women by their inability to commit to women.
Obviously I think it’s rubbish. Men are genetically programmed to impregnate as many women as possible; women to be sure who the father oftheir child is. so a lot more straight men would be more promiscuous but for the lack of promiscuous women (societally I mean – individuals make individual choices), whereas promiscuity is associated with male homosexuality because of the balanced genetic programming.
If this makes sense…!
