Romney, Massresistance & Porn

Ms. Massresistance is off the gays (I'm sure for only for a brief time) and again attacking Mitt Romney, you remember him: the former absentee Massachusetts governor; the guy who Massresistance blames for removing them from WTTT, does the name ring a bell? Well, she is now posting about the apparent hypocrisy of Mitt being on the Marriott Board of Directors when Marriott allowed pay-per-view porn in the Marriott hotels. They want to know how much money Romney has made on hotel porn:

While Mitt Romney served on the Marriott Hotels Board of Directors for ten years in the 1990s, he benefitted financially from the chain's profiteering on hard-core pornography (available via in-room TV). If we break down Marriott profits during the period when Romney was involved, how much money did this devout Mormon make from porn purchases?

The same could be asked of Massresistance. They are the ones who put up, what they claim to be "gay porn" on their website (and repeatedly mention it in their emails) only to raise money to pay Brian Camenker and "volunteer" Amy's salaries. Likewise, they go after Romney for talking out of both sides of his mouth when they've done exactly the same:

• They claim to have Judeo-Christian values but are left standing with the plank in their own eyes as they are trying to remove the splinter's from other's eyes, including the sin of pride;


• They claim that they are against the "Vote On Marriage Amendment" yet at every instance A & B attack the Massachusetts legislators for not approving it. (Brian Camenker even signed the petition to put it to the voters all the while saying he was against it);


• They talk about gay people being "overly concerned with youth" when they are the ones entering both school and outside events videotaping and recording youths against their parent's permission and publishing their pictures on their websites.

Back to the Romney bashing, it all comes to light in a link provided by Pam's House Blend:

The poll results indicate that 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography," said Clay Jones, founder and President of Second Glance Ministries whose ministry objectives include providing people with information which will enable them to fully understand the impact of today's societal issues. 60% of the women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust; 40% admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year; and 20% of the church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an ongoing basis.

I wonder if Massresistance knows the Christians who took this poll and know that they are lying (because we all know that a Christian would NEVER lie) Isn't one of the conservative principles taking responsibility for one's own actions and not blaming others for things that you do? Maybe, just maybe, Romney is trying to attract those 50% of Christian men who are addicted to pornography, you never know.

WTTT Smackdown!

No, this isn't about some new wrestling show, it's WTTT, "Boston's Conservative Talk" and until yesterday, the host station for Massresistance's (A.K.A. Brian Camenker and Amy Contrada's) radio show.

Yes! It's true dear ones, Massresistance: The Radio Show is dead in the water. Apparently, they were given the BIG sign-off by the new general manager of the radio station who wouldn't even let them have one last hateful filled hour. What am I going to do on my Saturday mornings then Saturday afternoons now?

Of course, Brian has his own spin on the matter:

Mass-Resistance RadioShow
WTTT / Salem Radio has announced that it has permanently canceled the MassResistance Radio Show, after nearly two years of continuous weekly broadcasting.

Information from a Salem Radio source leads us to believe that pressure from the campaign of a certain Republican presidential candidate whom we've widely criticized prompted this decision.

Full report coming up later this weekend -- including what you can do. (Weekend's over but no report, it's not looking good kiddies)

Wow, they even have conspiracy theories to go along with it! I guess they don't have the homosexual activists to blame this one on or will they? Trevor Wright, in a comment over at QueerToday (and a Massresistance favorite) gets the prize for the funniest lines on them being booted:

They are claiming a right-wing conspiracy. Mitt is out to get them!! Next thing we are going to hear is that one of Mitt’s campaign staff wrote 'dust me' in Amy’s dirty house! Hahaha

Which got me wondering...for weeks (maybe months) Massresistance was teasing its readers with a headline about "Part 2" of the Mitt Romney Deception. It was supposed to have more secrets about Romney that nobody knew and they were going to release it in May. Well, there are only a few more days in May left and the "Sneak Preview" about "Part 2 of the Mitt Romney Deception" is mysteriously absent.

You might as well hang it up when the Religious Right Wingnuts, who you are supposed to be aligned with, are taking you off their airwaves.

Back Under A Rock

While celebrating this 3rd Anniversary, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the gay haters who "have left the building" (no, they're not dead, just gone from the Massachusetts anti-gay bandwagon):

• J. Edward Pawlick: The man who started MassNews disappeared from practically everywhere. His Massnews website is out of commission and although his wife's anti-gay website is still up, it hasn't been updated in years. It says they are still waiting for their "Bill of Address" to be voted on. (On a side note, this "Bill of Address" is Brian Camenker's claim to fame since that is the reason he started the Article 8 Alliance, to remove the judges, when that never happened they changed the name to Massresistance). Ms. Massresistance used to also write for this "conservative" website.

• Ron Crews: The head of the Mass Institute Against Gays A.K.A. Mass "Family" Institute before Kris "My marriage is affected by same sex couples marrying" Mineau, left the state to go back down south after a failed attempt to win a seat in the Massachusetts Legislature. He was one of the many Republicans then-Governor Romney boosted to initially run for office before Romney left the Massachusetts GOP in the dust (all the Republicans lost miserably because Romney became "Box-office poison") .
  
• Laurie Letourneau: This angry woman threatened to leave the State if same sex couples started getting married. They did and she did, good riddance. She also received the MFI Citizenship award.

• Larry Cirignano: He was part of the Vote On Marriage group until he physically attacked a young woman at a rally in Worcester. He also led the Catholic Citizenship in Boston. He has now been relocated to Virginia but comes back to Massachusetts for court hearings and anti-gay activism.

Actually, looking back on them all, most of them were involved with the Massachusetts Institute Against Gays. They seem to go through more members than Imelda Marcos went through shoes. This must be some kind of anti-marriage curse. Who will it strike next?

More of Romney's Inconsistencies

Massachusetts' former governor Willard "Did you hear the one about Massachusetts" Romney is appearing on 60 minutes this Sunday. Apparently, he now says that he is against gay couples marrying because it is against the "scriptures":

"This isn't just some temporary convenience here on Earth, but we're people that are designed to live together as male and female and we're gonna have families," he tells interviewer Mike Wallace, according to an excerpt CBS released Friday. "And that, there's a great line in the Bible that children are an inheritance of the Lord and happy is he who has or hath his quiver full of them."

So, while he claims that his "faith" should not be an issue in the campaign, he has no problem whatsoever using his "faith" to guide his policy decisions that affect people who do not follow his faith.

I'm no expert on Mormonism but I did see the documentary recently featured on PBS and I learned quite a bit. It was interesting to learn that some people consider his religion a cult and that they believe that God and Jesus appeared to Joseph Smith and told him to create the one true church because the other churches got it wrong (this was around 1827).

The BIG problem I have is with the inconsistencies. You see THEY believe that Joseph Smith did talk to God and Jesus. And some angel, Moroni, told Joseph to dig up some golden plates and copy down everything on them which became the Mormon Scriptures. (Are you following me so far?) Well, Joseph Smith also said that God told him to take many wives and hence it was OK to be polygamists.

That is the inconsistency that bothers me. If you believe that Joseph Smith met God wouldn't you take EVERYTHING he said to be gospel? How can you pick and choose which parts to believe?

So this is where we come back to Willard Romney. He has no problem following the scriptures when it suits his bigoted position on same sex couples getting married but ignores Smith's revelations on polygamy. Could it be that Romney is against same sex marriages because he knows that most of the Republicans (who he wants to vote for him) are against it? It would certainly fit his flip flopper image.

I'm an Informed Conservative

That is according to Massresistance/Article 8. Brian and Amy put up a little "quiz", a 20 question multiple choice exam on Mitt Romney. I must admit that while the content is good (it's nothing that hasn't already been published in the Massachusetts' newspapers or on Blue Mass Group) the execution is poor. Just look at their scoring system:

19-20 Informed Conservative
14-18 National Review Subscriber
8-13 RINO
0-7 Pro-Romney blogger

I guess they're trying to squeeze out a few more minutes of fame (and failing big time at satire). After all its been over two (or is it three) weeks since they were supposed to put out their 2nd "big" report on Romney. (What else can they say that hasn't already been reported?)

If you're eagerly awaiting their next "Romney scoop" you'll just have to wait since they are too busy snaping pictures of students.

From Gay Sex to Romney

It must be a slow news day. Well, it's either that or the Boston Globe REALLY hates the absentee ex-Governor Willard Romney. If you didn't see the Globe's front page, it's precious! A story on Massachusetts' most infamous homophobe, Brian Camenker.

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you'll get a big kick out of this quote by Camenker (talking about Romney):

"Oh, man, this is really a riot," Camenker said. "It's adolescent for him to react that way -- the guy is running for president of the United States."

To you new readers, the inside joke is that the only two words Brian Camenker says more than "homosexual activists" is "Oh, man". His sad, pathetic show on Saturday mornings is full of "Oh, Man's" and now he's even quoted in the paper as saying it. I made up a Massresistance Drinking Game because of it. (See the last bullet in my September 2, 2006 post.)

As for the rest of the article, there's really not that much new, except to learn that Brian was working on the "Romney files" in the wee hours of the morning. Oh, yeah, and that Brian is obsessed with gay sex, but again, if you're a regular reader you already know that (is Romney his new obsession? Say what you will about his politics but Romney is good looking)

Some conservatives say Camenker's report, spiked with references to gay sex, has seriously damaged Romney's effort to woo conservative voters. Others dismiss the report as a joke. But Romney is not laughing. Earlier this month, he fired back with a press release titled "Meet the Real Brian Camenker," which includes quotes from Camenker saying he was once a social liberal and a link to Camenker's appearance on "The Daily Show," where he was mocked by the comedian Ed Helms.

The Globe only makes it's articles available for a few days so be sure to read it before it will cost you. It's not worth paying to read when you can learn about his crazy antics on this blog for free.
