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.

In regards to Ellen Degeneres’ comments on Sarah Palin, I totally agree. Love and let love. We are all human beings and who we love is alot better than this damn war that we are in! I love all types of people and perhaps Ellen is RIGHT…those that appose gay unions and especially gay marriage, need to take a look at their own children and clean your own houses before you clean mine. I am the proud mother of a 25 year old gay son. I could not love him less for his lifestyle. He is my son and I love him.

We do love people for who/what they are. But the fact is we, and God hates THEIR SIN…not them. They are just lost souls! I pray they change before it is too late. Hell is hot and never ends.
Love you Ellen, and I pray you come to know Jesus as your personal Savior!

Ellen has just lost a friend. I have tried my best to “like” this woman, but her rants are over the top! Ellen, we KNOW you’re gay (and are aware that at least ONE of your partners —changed her mind—).. We KNOW you tossed, what was it, 100,000 dollars at california in efforts to help the gay/lesbian cause. However, your appearing as “typical hollywood” by being a spoiled brat child that rants when things aren’t going their way!! Your belly-aching and pointing fingers from your platform soapbox called “celebrity”! Some of us can at least “accept” that you’re gay and you absolutely want what you want regardless (liberal views). However, much like the campaigning Obama is doing for presidency, your being a part of this MEDIA MACHINE and attempting to FORCE FEED everyone to think, and feel the way you feel about things. THAT is what the LAWS are about. Laws, to some of us, are absolute.. in other words WE MUST ACCEPT, and must FEEL and VIEW things the same way. While I can accept that you are lesbian, I do not endorse or agree with the lifestyle. No matter what the law, my own values will never match your own. Everyone wants to be “special”… but attacking Palin for your OWN interpretation of the laws put in place before either YOU or Sarah Palin were ever even thought of is rediculous!!

I’m so sick of the one-sided media coverage. Sen. Obama is spending four times as much as Sen. McCain on his election, but that’s okay. I’ll bet Sen. Biden spends more on hair plugs and Botox than Gov. Palin does on clothes and make-up, but the media won’t cover that. I’ll bet Michelle Obama spends more than Gov. Palin and she’s not even running. I’m sure those expenses aren’t coming out of her pocket, but that’s okay too.

I’m sure the McCain/Palin ticket has not spent anything near the amount Oboma has. I mean why don’t they talk about him having his own TV station?

Mary G-Ellen couldn’t be any less angry. Hillary and Bill are independently wealthy outside of the small amount of salary she makes, in comparison, which she almost completely donates annually.

James-She never said she knows more than anyone else, she is simply stating her opinion. After all it is a talk show, its the sole purpose.

Woody-It doesn’t say that in the constitution, it also doesn’t have a federal ban which would have to be written in the constitution-see prohibition and women and African-American rights. All re-written. That’s what she meant.

Lise-its hard to not pick on a woman that uses baby talk and poor speech to win people’s votes. Hillary was a much better female candidate, and unfortunately for Palin that’s what people think about.

Where is the coverage on how much Obama and Biden spend on clothes, make-up. Oh that’s right the MSM feels no obligation regardless the issue to investigate, cover both sides.

Obama just provided tax returns and they show he received speaking fees which are in violation of Illinois ethic laws. No MSM coverage. Hundred of thousands of dollars of Biden campaign funds are funneled to his family members…no coverage
Obama is getting millions (est over 25m) from overseas and will not provide the detail. It is illegal for citizens of other nations to donate. No coverage. Pelosi says”we are not going to look into it at this time as it may influence the election” No coverage

16 Gov’s have been Pres., including a Peanut Farmer and an Actor…oh but they were men. Excuse me I forgot. Gov was a great out-of-the box selection like Obama spoke of when he started his campaign…before he rejected the woman who got the popular vote and he selected a old white guy that’s been in Washington since the age of 29. Oh that’s right…Obama did not pick her—she’s an idiot.

Obama has no executive experience and has accomplished nothing of substance in his short political career other than proving he can be a socialist man of inaction in the democratic party…and his is well qualified vs Palin. I get it.

That’s right you tell us we care about clothes, a cop that tazzed his son & threatened to kill a Gov., and a back interview by Palin. Perhaps she will learn to lie and give slick replies like Washington politicians soon.

It goes on and on …I am an independent & disgusted by MSM bias toward Obama. If you are going to attack and tear up all four of these folks go for it. But it is morally wrong to continue use your stations to spread your political agenda. We are getting no better than government controlled media from our MSM.

What Makes TV and Movie Stars think that they know more than anybody else> They should not be allowed to make any comments about politics using their shows.

For a comic, Ellen is one angry b***h.

And her opinion is not the wor from above. She’s just a comic.

How about the $6000.00 dress Hillary bought for the ignauratio? Who do you think paid for that?
