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.

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 !!

On second thought, Ellen just shut the hell up! Nobody gives a crap about your problems. You are one sick woman. You have reached the absolute bottom of the barrel.

GOOD JOB ELLEN! I’m glad you spoke your mind! Its your show, you have a right to! I know you will ignore all the STUPID people that are insulting you! Everyone has a voice! Gay marriage is your right, along with all others in the country! I’m proud of you! Keep going strong and screw all the people being rude. I am not gay but support them 100 percent! Go Obama!!

I am not gay… you don’t have to be gay to understand that when to people love each other they should have the right to be together… “get over it Ellen” just shows that you have never loved! You should have the right to be with the one you love and have the right to be in the same hospital room when your loved one is dying, this is just one of many rights us heterosexuals have and they don’t. I am a Christian and the only one that can judge us is God… for you to say someone is sinful… I bet you have been sinful too in many ways-I am sure you are not a Virgin any more among other sins you have committed… under Gods eyes a sin is a sin… you’re the one that needs to get the facts… God says we are supposed to love everyone, let others live, and not throw the first stone-read the bible!

The hate, anger and judgment displayed in most of these comments is what is wrong with America today. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but hate, anger and judgment can not be part of that opinion. Until those things are removed from why you believe what you believe, you are just a person who hates, not a person with an opinion.

Ellen,

Just like you to be a freak! First you ding out about the stupid dogs and have to bring that onto your dumb show. Now you bring another freak topic onto your show and you do not even know what is in the constitution. Do some research FREAK!

I don’t feel that as a celebrity Ellen should voice her political opinions on TV. I don’t care what type of lifestyle she chooses for herself but I don’t want her influencing the entire country about her opinions on gay/lesbian marriage or on Sarah Palin. Give it a rest Ellen. Stop giving your political opinions on air Ellen. Why isn’t the media and Ellen telling us more about Obama’s socialistic views and how he will change our county if elected. This would be a more worth while subject than comments on Sarah Palin’s view on gay/lesbian marriages or what she spends for her clothes and makeup. He is as far left as one can possibly get. Tell me how someone can raise a record 1.5 million in a month. Why aren’t you questioning that Ellen? Doesn’t it make you a little suspicious of who he really is? Perhaps Joe Biden’s comment on a treat to our national security within the first six months of Obama’s administration should he be elected should be focused on. What is Joe really saying? Today Mr. Obama put down Joe Biden’s comments and in my opinion Joe Biden himself….what does that say about this man?

ELLEN is a lost ball in the high weeds! there is no constitutional protection for gay marriage. The only instances where reason has wained is a few states ruling by out of line wacko judges that should be removed from their positions for legislating from the bench. They are operating outside of their “Constitutional” powers! Ellen is just as much a “WACKO” as “JACKO” God help us all. Save us from the DeGeneres, I mean degenerates.

Get over it Ellen—none of the candidates are for gay marriage. It is sinful behavior and meanwhile it is not in the constitution. Get the facts. (I used to like you in spite of your lifestyle—but no one wants it in your face!!) I love you but not your behavior.

Kathryn - We are in that war to protect our freedoms. Have you forgotten about 9/11/01? Whether you knew someone who was killed on that day or not, you should, as an American, be forever affected by that horrific day. If it hasn’t impacted you, then you are taking your freedoms for granted. When the U.S.A. is attacked again do you want a President who is going to fight for us, like McCain, or do you want someone like Obama to sit down with the ruler of the country that attacked us and ask “Can’t we all just get along?”. If Obama gets elected, you can say goodbye to your freedoms because he will turn this nation into a socialist one and it won’t matter whether you’re gay or not. No one will have any rights.

Ellen’s show is like a propaganda show, just like the news media like CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, and on and on. Why don’t they explore Obama/Biden for a change? We have legit questions about Obama’s character and back ground and yet we haven’t heard the elite media exploring that? The media is one sided including the Hollywood crowd.

The purpose of marriage is to pro-create. You can’t change the meaning of something to fit your view.

I never liked Ellen before and I still don’t like her. Why does she have to keep reminding us that she’s gay? I liked it better when they stayed in the closet

Ellen needs to get a life. Frankly I do not care about her choice of a mate.But she needs to to keep her opinions to herself if she wants to keep her fans.We all have our opinions and the only person that cares about our opinions are ourselves.I don’t care about hers and I am sure she does not give a flip about mine.The difference here is I can’t get on TV to spout off about mine.As if I would !!! Shame on you Ellen !!!!!

Love your show Ellen, but get off the subject don’t beat it to death. Be happy that you got by and got married. Sarah Palin has her opinion among many others agreeing with her.

I think YES, you should be able to marry anyone you choose.
Don’t teach in the schools, though, kids have enough on their mind.
