McVety: officially obsessed with homosexuality

Today our favourite religious right whackjob, Chuck McVety, issued a spittle-flecked screed declaring that "Canada is now officially a homosexual country".

This little outburst was initiated by a gorgeous Norval Morrisseau painting with the sinister title "Androgyny", installed last month at the Governor-General's residence at Rideau Hall:

"On September 18, 2008 a new artwork was installed in the Rideau Hall Ballroom. Created by world-renowned Canadian Aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau, the painting, entitled Androgyny, replaces Charlottetown Revisited..." [...]

In Androgyny, Morrisseau represents the Ojibway shaman’s world view, showing a thriving and bountiful world in which all the diverse elements are in perfect balance."

From that, McVety goes right off his rocker to arrive at this pretzel of a reaction to the painting:

"The Governor General’s website describes the giant 20 foot mural as follows: “In the Okanagan, as in many Native tribes, the order of life learning is that you are born without sex and as a child, through learning, you move toward full capacity as either male or female. Only when appropriately prepared for the role do you become a man or woman. The natural progression into parenthood provides immense learning from each other, the love, compassion and cooperation necessary to maintain family and community. Finally as an elder you emerge as both male and female, a complete human, with all skills and capacities complete.” Does the Governor General actually believe that in order to be a complete human you must be both male and female?"

"...Many universities now talk about “self identified men and women” suggesting that it is discriminatory to label someone male or female unless they chose to identify themselves as a specific gender. Such political correctness has slithered all the way to the top, and now a mural depicting this insanity adorns the official seat of power of the Country of Canada.

This concept is not new. Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Party appointed Dr. Carl Jung as their head of the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy. He taught the concept that in the uncouncious of man is anima (femininity) and in the uncouncious of woman is animus (masculinity). Dr. Jung westernized this concept from the teachings of the Dali Lama in the Tibetan Book of the Dead."

Whoa, that's a pretty impressive segue: from a painting to Gays to Nazis to the Tibetan Book of the Dead... what, no Morgentaler?

In closing the spittle really starts to fly, and -- holy fucking shit! Stand back!:

Some would suggest that “Androgyny” is only a mural. However, when you consider that the Governor General will officially invest governmental power in the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers in the shaddow [sic] of this homosexual background, the only conclusion is that Canada is “officially” a homosexual country." (emphasis mine)

(And look at the map -- we're a "top".)

Seriously, the only conclusion I can draw from this deranged little diatribe is that Chuck is "officially" obsessed, and that obsession is about to blow his closet door right off its hinges in an explosion of spit, sweat and semen and a great puff of greasy, stenchy smoke. Move away people, give him room!

Canada hates

vicious rotten spittle-flecked inbred bigots.

Hasta la vista, suckahs. It's been nice not knowin' ya.

UPDATE (August 8): Unfortunately it looks like some of the slime oozed through the border into Manitoba -- hopefully they won't get anywhere near Tim McLean's funeral.

Don't forget, fundies -- they're yours. Not ours. Yours.

Round Two

After the full house I laid on the table this morning in response to SUZANNE's report that a fetus fetishist finally got the shot in the head that was coming to him, she upped the ante with a report on Pro-Abort Terrorism. It seems some fetishizers in Ecuador got a taste of bad craziness -- a dead rat and a death threat -- in the mail.

The mail. Oh, no. Do you really want to go there? Because unfortunately, sick twisted weirdness in the mail is one area where the fetus fetishists are way ahead of us.

Let me know when someone gets shot, stabbed, bombed, anthrax'd or catches a face full of battery butyric acid. Meanwhile, ya gotta know when to fold 'em, baby.

Paranoia strikes deep

When I heard the horrendous story that the vicious murder of a passenger on a Greyhound Bus included decapitation, I knew, just knew!, that the Usual Suspects would immediately SHRIEEEEEK! spiral into a frenzy of furious Islamophobia-induced psychosis. But I really didn't expect the paranoid madness to continue once the killer's non-Muslim-sounding name was revealed.

Balbulican at stageleft documents the insanity.

UPDATE: Buckets weighs in with some of the reaction at FD.

Okay, I give up

What's the deal with the National Post?

Since whacked-out fetus fetishist "Silent No More" (no fucking kidding) Denise Mountenay had the floor last Wednesday, I thought 5 feet of batshit's article yesterday might be part of an editorial special of some kind, maybe a month-long Wednesday Wingnut Extrrrrrrravaganza. But today's article by SDA holocaust prankster Kate McMillan has me wondering...

... has the editorial board of the National Post gone collectively bugfuck nuts? Having worked with media for a large chunk of my life, I'm genuinely curious about what would drive a publication that's already hanging by a financial thread to risk alienating readers, and more importantly, clients, by publishing the likes of those two. Seriously, WTF?

Sheeeeeee's back!

After being escorted by building security from her Brief Stint at Fox News (fired for "bizarre behaviour"), right wing columnist and batshit insane whackjob Rachel Marsden is back, now writing for Toronto litterbox liner the Sun. It's almost inspiring how Marsden proves time and again that even an unhinged lunatic can get fired from job after job for doing all manner of crazy-ass shit and still someone somewhere will give her another kick at the career can. It seems like the right just can't get enough o' that funky batshit crazy stuff. At first. Then they slowly back away horrified when they see just what they've wrought.

For an idea of how chock full o'nuts Marsden is, here's what the Western Standard's Snotgun, I mean Shitgun, I mean Shotgun Blog had to say about her Brief Stint (all her jobs are Brief Stints) at the NatPo 2 years ago:

"After eight weeks, the, um, controversial and, er, well, let's say ambitious, Rachel Marsden has "severed her relationship with the National Post." And I'm sure that's exactly how it went down. She spurned the Post the same way she spurned Liam Donnelly's advances. And Michael Morgan's. And Neil Boyd's.

Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed that Marsden actually mysteriously stopped appearing in the national pages a few weeks ago (she remained in the Toronto section, which has different editors than the comment section). Then, on Friday came news of the resignation of publisher Les Pyette, who had long been rumoured to be the only guy at Don Mills headquarters who didn't think hiring Marsden was a really bad idea. Not to worry. If Marsden's track record is any indication, she'll be hosting her own national news show in no time."

Even the Western Standard, the nadir of conservative wingnuttery in Canada, thinks Marsden's bugfuck nuts. Res ipsa loquitor... that speaks for itself.

So now she's at the Sun, and oh, lookee here: she's written a column in defense of waterboarding, which she insists is just like competitive swim training. Huh?! This is typical grist for the Marsden mill -- with no real writing talent, she relies completely on controversy. Stupid controversy. Stupid, lowest-common-denominator controversy.

There was a time when I could just roll my eyes and laugh at such turditude, but you know what? This shit isn't funny anymore. Not when we have a government that clearly doesn't give a damn what 80% of Canadians think, that's made a unilateral decision to allow the outsourcing of capital punishment and put us on a slippery relativistic slope that ends in the Green Room. Because mouthpieces like Marsden tell us in soothing tones that torture is nothing more than a swim workout and capital punishment sends a good law and order message, Canadians are sleepwalking into authoritarianism. This abuse of media has to stop, and Marsden would be a good place to start. Write the Sun, write your MP, write the Sun's advertisers... make the bullshit stop.

A Creative Revolution has lots of linkies. So does Bastard.Logic. Go, write, scream, yell. This is where the bullshit stops.

(h/t canuck attitude)

Cheney's lost it completely

Either that or he's become so unspeakably evil that even Satan cowers, trembles and averts his devilish eyes when the Shooter lurches on by. The latest out of the Undisclosed Location is that Cheney's decided he's no longer part of the US Executive Branch -- he is an entity unto himself, his own separate branch of government:

"The Office of Vice President Dick Cheney told an agency within the National Archives that for purposes of securing classified information, the Vice President's office is not an 'entity within the executive branch' according to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform."

So there's the Judicial Branch (SCROTUS), the Legislative Branch (Congress), the Executive Branch (White House), and the Dick Cheney Branch (Dick Cheney). Allowing him to do anything he wants in the utmost secrecy with absolutely no oversight or responsibility to answer to anyone. Kind of like Saddam, only greedier and less accountable.

Surely it can't be long before this crazy old bastard is dragged away in a straight jacket to an Undisclosed Rubber Room...
