One of the chief problems with stupid people is that they are, sadly, too stupid to realize that they are stupid. No one better illustrates this than the radio host Kevin McCullough who will, I imagine, one day accidentally drown himself in his own half-filled bathtub.
Kevin’s latest contribution to the annals of wingnuttery is the intriguingly titled column “Radical Gay Activist: ‘We Lose.’” Kevin wants you to imagine that he was debating said gay activist on his radio program when the sheer force of his biblically irrefutable argument that gay sex is icky causes the activist to break down in tears, to concede defeat, to admit that she decided to become a lesbian at age twelve and to promise that she would only engage in missionary position sex on her back with a person of the opposite sex for the rest of her life. But, of course, that’s not what happened.
Instead Kevie found a quote from Roberta Sklar in an ABC news story:
“I know a woman who had relationships of depth with members of both sexes,” said Sklar. “She didn’t put a tag on what her sexuality identity was. Recently, I saw her at her wedding to a young, lovely man. In no way does she deny her history or say she has found her true sexuality. It was all her true sexuality.”
McCullough can hardly restrain himself:
Checkmate! Sklar loses.
I’ll bet you know where this is going.
Long explanation short is - if homosexuals are not biologically compelled to act on their urges, but rather make them based on choice - then the discussion is over. The “born that way” argument is dead, and does not apply. And if THAT is true - then the debate about marriage is equally already settled.
The jig is up.
Game, set, match.
You can put it on the board…yes!
That’s right. If one girl has ever swung both ways, then being gay is totally a matter of individual choice. Rather than explaining to Kevin what the fallacy of hasty generalization is, let’s explain it to Kevin in a way that he might actually understand. Kevin, we can surmise, was born stupid. He didn’t decide at some early age to be stupid. Yet even if one day Kevin managed to utter one or two sentences that weren’t completely stupid, it wouldn’t change the fact that Kevin was born stupid, will remain stupid and will die stupid.
Oh, and I don’t have a link to the Sklar quote because Kevin was too stupid to even get the link right. Instead of linking to the article, Kevin just links back to himself.
UPDATE: We seem to have pissed off Kevie, who doesn’t like being called stupid. Even so it appears not only is Kevie too stupid to link to the ABC New story he was discussing, but also he’s too stupid to be able to embed my picture of him, which he doesn’t like, in his post. Send me another email Kevin and we’ll give you link lessons. Oh, and we’ll have more about Kevin’s post later since it is, really, a target-rich environment.
UPDATE 2: After my last update, Kevin fixed his link to the offending picture, once I clued him into the fact that you can’t hotlink images from my site. Naturally, there’s nothing in his post to indicate that he fixed his original screw up. Anybody surprised?
