Ellen Takes Aim at Palin

1022ellenpalin.jpg

Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres took aim at VP hopeful Sarah Palin's views on the legality of gay marriage.

"Vice presidential candidate, Governor Sarah Palin, says she favors a federal ban on gay marriage," Ellen said on her show today. "Basically, she wants to change The Constitution."

The Emmy-winning talk show hostess continued, "I don't like it. I don't agree. Maybe it's because I'm gay that I think we should all be equal, but I feel that we're all equal. I don't know what people are scared of -- maybe they think that their children will be influenced. I was raised by two heterosexuals, I was surrounded by heterosexuals -- and they didn't influence me."

DeGeneres ended with, "People are going to be who they're going to be, and we need to love them for who they are. That's that."

Ellen and longtime partner Portia de Rossi wed in an intimate Beverly Hills ceremony last August.


NEXT: Thursday: Cindy McCain Attacks the Obamas!

 

All you Republican Conservative freaks should put your money where your mouth is… if you cared so much about people, there wouldn’t be any homeless, if you’re so concerned about abortions, there wouldn’t be any foster children, if you actually cared about our economy, we wouldn’t be in the financial mess we are in… and if you cared so much about our country and our environment, we wouldn’t be destroying it - wake up you fools !!

Quite frankly you truly need to look up the word “liberal” vs. the word “conservative”. Before you attempt to blame ‘others’ for the “mess we’re in”.. lil’ miss blamelessness.

I 100% AGREE with Palin that gay marriages should be put to end. That is the only thing I like about her. But believe she is no leader. I do think that McCain could be a leader on the other hand.

WHAT I might do is have the same privileges as a marriage only not calling it a marriage.

JUST REMEMBER EVERYONE THERE IS A REASON FOR THE HOT DOG AND BUN ACTION IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.

“Ellen” could use a little help with her own make-up. She looks about 80 years old, with that “thick layer” setteled into her creases!

the christian in palin should remember what the bible says about love and doing on to one another. Love is love whether between men and women or anything in between. A “Marriage” is a joining of two, so just look at it that way and let Ellen keep her toaster!

ellen is crazy, prejudice and unfairly using the media to judge wrongly our dear, honest, smart and ethical Sarah Palin!!!

Ellen, get a life!!! You are the most prejudice woman I ever met. You’re opinions are biased and prejudiced. You. of all people, who constantly preaches on treating all peoples fairly are a hypocrite when it comes to Republicians. Get some much needed head help!! Ever try anti prejudice against Republicians drugs!!! You should try them. Might make you a better person!!

Ellen, you are so ignorant. You are the one who is always preaching not to judge any individual for the way they live or whom they marry or live with.

Sarah could care less about you and your wife ie !!! You are so prejudice and biased. Jo Biden and Sarah Palin both have the same views on gay marriages and why don’t you go after Joe Biden instead of Sarah Palin? You are so prejudice against Sarah it is very sad. You are more prejudice than anyone I know.

Get some psych. help. You should in fairness to your viewers. You just lost me and hundreds of other voters this election. I refuse to watch you TV show one more day. Leslie

There are much more important issues going on in this country than whether or not gay people should be robbed of their right to be wed. What makes anyone think that they should have the right to decide that, anyway? What ever happened to acceptance of others, and “love thy neighbor” and all of the other things that have always been preached in the church? Any church that believes in Jesus Christ or God, should
also be reminding people of their teachings; that we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord. And that the Lord loves every one of his children here on earth, equally.

I don’t think Ellen watched the debate between the V.P. candidates. This is the one topic both parties agreed upon. Nice try.

Ellen is wrong about Gov. Palin trying to change the Constitution of the United States of America. Is Ellen that ugly that she can’t marry a man? It is Adam & Eve, not Ann & Eve.

A person today from Alaska told me Sara Palin is not only anti-gay but anti-mixed marriage, anti-alcohol and anti-computer games !

Look out !

I hope the real people really know what the true problem is with Palin, and John McCain about Obama? They just don’t want to see a smart black man become the the President. And there are so many people that are republicans who don’t want to see that happen. I pray to God that he make it, and not to worry about him being tested, he’s been tested all his life. After all he is a black man and trust me, we are tested everyday! Remember when the so called Republican President that we have now, when he was tested what did he do? He sat there in that class room not having any idea what to do. And he still don’t know what he’s doing. It’s so great that he has to go now, and I hope we never hear from that nut ever again! And John McCain is just like that Bush guy!

I absolutely LOVE Ellen and I am in favor of Gay marriage. A gay couple deserves everything a straight couple does. I’m a 61 year old born again Christian woman and this is NOT normally how born again Christians feel.

However, I also love Sarah Palin. Another thing I disagree with Sarah Palin is the abortion issue. I’m pro choice which Sarah Palin is against. I think abortion is wrong but it should be the woman’s choice to decide what she wants to do. I wasn’t put on this earth to judge others and I don’t want to be judged by them either. We will all stand before God on judgement day….HE is the only one to judge us! So I’m proof that you don’t have to be 100% in agreement with a candidate to vote for them.

I love you Ellen, but I hope you go back to keeping your political views to yourself. I don’t like when celebrities get on their soap boxes and make asses out of themselves! Just remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they got too mouthy!!!

Ellen talks about the Constitution like she knows it. If she did, then she would realize that our founding fathers based its outline according to the ways of the Bible. I will never accept that people were born that way! I will never watch Ellen’s or Rosie’s shows! The world is screwed up enough! Rosie’s got a HUGE mouth & Ellen needs to grow up!

LO - You’re the one who needs to wake up. You are so quick to blame President Bush for everything just because he’s the President. However, it’s Congress that is to blame. Who has been the majority in Congress? The DEMOCRATS!!
