Tammy Bruce Belittles Trans Children

Via Raw Story:

Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce argued this week that a school lesson about tolerance had been wrong because being transgender made as much sense to children as thinking they were a “cocker spaniel.” During a “Trouble With Schools” segment on Wednesday’s edition of Fox & Friends, host Elisabeth Hasselbeck suggested that officials at Mitchell Primary School in Maine read children a story about a transgender girl “as a plan or an indoctrination on the part of the school to get to kids first.” “This is about conditioning, and not just of the children, but of the parents as well,” Bruce agreed. “The implication here is that if you are left to your own devices as a parent, something will go wrong, that they have to intervene. That of course, has got to be rejected.” “You know, look, at a point when I was a child, I thought I was a cocker spaniel,” she quipped. “And there’s a point when we have these fantasies where we think we’re Superman, where we can fly, where we’re the cat. This is childhood. And this is why this is particularly troubling.”

As you can see, Tammy Bruce is ever so pissed that people actually dare to disagree with her. Zack Ford wrote much more about this incident at Think Progress.

REPORT: Sarah Palin Is Working To Get Homocon Tammy Bruce Cast On The View As The "Anti-Rosie O'Donnell"

Via wingnut entertainment columnist Nikki Finke:

The best way on TV to shut up a loudmouth is with another loudmouth. I’ve learned that Tea Party advocate Tammy Bruce – the outspoken nationally syndicated radio show host, author, and Fox News talking head – is being considered for a hosting slot on The View as the so-called "anti-Rosie". What makes this especially interesting is that Bruce reportedly BrucePalinwas suggested to the show by Sarah Palin. "I don’t think Sarah Palin is being considered to be a panelist on the show. I think she’s working behind the scenes to help them cast the conservative," an insider tells me. "Tammy and Palin are close friends, and I think they are hot on Tammy because of Palin. They want the show to be politically combative, and Tammy would certainly be the anti-Rosie in every possible way." Bruce’s website describes her as a "gay, pro-choice, gun-owning, pro-death penalty Tea Party Independent conservative". I’m told Bruce just had a meeting with ABC about potentially joining the show.

For those blissfully unaware, Tammy Bruce is a right wing radio shrieker who regularly screams about "the gaystapo" and who often speaks at far-right, anti-gay conventions. (Tipped by JMG reader Peter)

Right On Cue

There WAS A Homosexual CPAC Speaker

The media made a big deal about GOProud and Log Cabin Republicans being denied booth space and speaking slots at CPAC, but I didn't see a peep about yesterday's "Why Conservatism is Right for Women" panel being moderated by homocon radio shrieker Tammy Bruce. Bruce took the stage to Bob Seger's 1978 hit Old Time Rock N Roll and immediately launched into a diatribe about gun-grabbing liberals who want to divide America. "You know that you want a commander in chief who has a set of rules that will allow your loved one to kill the enemy when they can, don't you?" And Obamacare will kill your children, we're gonna take this country back, blah blah blah.

Homocon Radio Shrieker Tammy Bruce: The Gay Gestapo Bullied Jan Brewer

"As a gay conservative woman, I supported Arizona’s religious freedom bill, which was just vetoed this week by Gov. Jan Brewer. I supported it because it embodied the values every American civil rights movement stood for: the freedom to live our lives without being punished for who we are. In this case, it was a bill making sure people of faith would not be forced to violate their religious beliefs in the event someone demanded they do so. Horribly, the gay civil rights movement has morphed into a Gay Gestapo. Its ranks will now do the punishing of those who dare to be different or dissent from the approved leftist dogma. To all the young gays who tweet and email me that this is about 'equality,' how exactly? Forcing someone to do something against their faith has nothing to do with equality for you, has nothing to do with bigotry and has everything to do with a personal, spiritual understanding of right and wrong. In other words, I tell them, not everything is about you." - Homocon radio screamer Tammy Bruce, writing for the far-right Washington Times.

Scott Lively Denounces Homocons

"Our embrace of people like Tammy Bruce and Camille Paglia (as brilliant as the latter may be to quote on feminist issues) is the 'synthesis' phase of the Hegelian dialectic and poisonous to our theology and agenda. The rise of 'conservative' homosexuals is a ruse to sucker us into endorsing 'gay rights' in a slightly different form. Think about it for a moment. If these people were truly on our side politically or ideologically they would consider their homosexual inclinations a private matter and a challenge to be overcome, and never publicly identify as 'gay.' Lets have compassion for homosexuals but never align ourselves with them politically or give them a platform to legitimize their lifestyle. Anyone who self-identifies as a unrepentant homosexual is an enemy of the truth, no matter how 'conservative' they may sound. Love them as lost sheep, but hate the false premise they live their lives by.  When we endorse 'conservative gays' we are helping the entire 'gay' movement to advance at the expense of the Bible. Lets not dance with the devil!" - Hate group leader Scott Lively, failing to mention Matt Drudge, the most infamous homocon of them all.

Syndicated homocon radio host Tammy Bruce is very upset that feminists are slamming her for attacking Clinton's appearance. She tweets as a follow-up to the above: "I reject the sexist liberal notion that powerful women have to look like my Uncle Jack." And then this: "Aww, the sexism oozing from liberals who presume that Democrat women in power don't have the ability to look half way decent in public."

Homocon Vs Hilary Rosen

Former GOProud board member Tammy Bruce appeared on Fox News to attack fellow lesbian Hilary Rosen. Talking the opposing view point is lesser known lesbian pundit Sally Kohn. I supposed it's mildly interesting to see two out lesbians talking about a third on any national news channel, much less Fox News.

Tammy Bruce Quits GOProud

Today openly lesbian right-wing radio host Tammy Bruce announced her resignation from GOProud's board of directors. This move comes after widespread wingnut condemnation of GOProud chairman Chris Barron for calling high-profile anti-gay activist Cleta Mitchell a "bigot" in an interview with Metro Weekly. From Bruce's website:

I want to let you know that after being a supporter and serving as Chair of the Advisory Board since May of 2010, I gave Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia my resignation Saturday night. If you search GOProud here at the blog you’ll see the affection with which I’ve held both Chris and Jimmy, and I wish them well. As Independent Conservatives and Tea Party patriots, we have a lot of work to do in the next two years taking our great nation back, and I do look forward to continuing to work with conservatives across the spectrum on the issues with which we all have in common.

Barron's comments will also likely mean that GOProud will not be allowed to attend CPAC 2012, as the newly named head of the convention has taken particular offense.

The new chair of the American Conservative Union, Al Cardenas, today distanced his organization from GOProud, telling FrumForum in an exclusive interview that “it’s going to be difficult to continue the relationship” with the gay conservative organization. Cardenas, who was selected yesterday to replace outgoing chairman David Keene, told FrumForum that he disapproved of GOProud’s response to the furor. “I have been disappointed with their website and their quotes in the media, taunting organizations that are respected in our movement and part of our movement, and that’s not acceptable. And that puts them in a difficult light in terms of how I view things,” said Cardenas.

Today's lesson: If you call a bigot a bigot, you don't get to play with bigots. Seems fair enough.

Retweet Of The Day - Sarah Palin

Today the Quislings at GOProud are proclaiming Sarah Palin as a supporter of LGBT rights because yesterday she re-tweeted a comment on DADT by nutjob radio host Tammy Bruce. GOProud remains silent, however, on this passage from Palin's latest book: "When it comes to raising good citizens, all 'lifestyle choices' are not equal." Yeah, she's a real fucking hero. (BTW, the format of this tweet is odd because Tammy Bruce has blocked me from seeing her Twitter stream.)
