Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, February 11, 2010

In a new CBS News/New York Times poll, the support for letting gays serve openly in the military changes noticeably whether you refer to them as "homosexuals" or "gay men and lesbians." Nineteen percent of Americans are against letting "gay men and lesbians" serve, while the number jumps to 29 percent when people are asked whether they are against letting "homosexuals" serve.

Huh?

They probably polled the OJ Simpson jury.

What about queers? Why didn't they try that?

Do you support letting fudge packers and carpet munchers serve openly in the military? *snicker*

Thinking about it. Hoping to earn my diver's insignia.

carpet munchers serve openly in the military?

So there's hope that at least one Cheney will actually serve, rather than loot, the nation?

Virginia, NJ, Massachusetts. Good luck in November

I suspect that if you polled Americans on whether "heterosexuals should be allowed to get married", you get a majority to say no.

if in the army who will the chicks with dicks be taking their showers with?

When BILL MAHER accused the American Voters of being the worst in the World the man knew what he was talking about. After all this is the same Public that voted for GWB twice!!!!!! Maher was only nearly correct, In my Opinion the American Voting Public are a true embarrassment..........

I feel pretty..... I feel pretty.... I feel pretty and witty and Gay.....

Du jets are gonna have their way tonight.....

No No No...... From the top.... I feel pretty.... I feel Pretty.... DU jets are gonna have their way.....

Oh forget it......

Poor Lenard Bernstein... The man was torn....

I'm tired of gays getting all the attention. when is MY group gonna get some hand-outs? (straight white men with large penis's)? hmmm?

Bill Maher is a corporate slave. He is a hypocrite that makes fun of ABC for firing him only to go work for another media comglomerate. He is a money whore

Yup. They should do a poll to see if thespians should be allowed to adopt.

How about cocksucker?

Someone you know who is gay has more than likely been on their knees with some guy's dick down their throat. Or worse, they've been on their back...well you know.

I don't think it's the label that bothers most people.

It's the idea of what these men do together than bothers some people if you think about it. Some people would rather not.

Better to use words like "gay".

Not so icky.

Sure, gay people don't bother me, but cocksuckers do.

Lesbians: Two more women who have no interest in me whatsoever.

I say let them serve.

Only butch lesbians should serve. They should send their girlfriends to work at a strip club in Myrtle Beach

Now there's a play on words if I ever saw one.

Next up: a poll on banning dihydrogen monoxide.

A Penn & Teller: Bullshit! fan I see. They actually got people to sign a petition to ban water. Freaking priceless.

do you have some sort of problem with the naked human body? they, the average person (not you), don't seem to in high school locker rooms and elsewhere -- gyms, etc..

it's all in your sick head.

Reminds me of an episode of The Man Show when they were getting women to sign a petition to end Women's suffrage.

when is MY group gonna get some hand-outs?

Yep, that's how Obama got elected.

The way one asks a question is extremely determinative of how that question is gonna be answered.

Pollsters of course are very aware of the phenomenon and thus find it easy to shade a poll one way or another by using words that mean the same thing essentially but have entirely different connotations and emotional responses.

Be Well.

#21 ~RCADE: "Yup. They should do a poll to see if thespians should be allowed to adopt."

#27 ~OohRah: "Now there's a play on words if I ever saw one."

Ha! Spud sees a method in this madness.

S'rsly, you two are shameless!

^_^

Be Well.

You should've seen the poll numbers when the verbage was "sodomites or buggerers" versus fans of showtunes and "nancy-boys."

"Sure, gay people don't bother me, but cocksuckers do."

Apparently he doesn't like blow jobs. Wouldn't a woman who pleasured her boyfriend orally be a cocksucker???

Odd as it is to me, I've actually met a couple of guys who don't like blowjobs.

Oh, well, Goat, you're (well) over twenty-one, so if you chose to leave yourself open to that one, buena suerte!

I know. I see 'em coming. Let 'em have their fun.

"Have you stopped beating your wife?"

I think even FrankF2.5" could hit that one out of the park.

It just goes to show you that how a poll question is asked matters. Any poll can be worded to sway the results.

Exactly! We have adapted into this society of "the marketed to" where tricky wording semantics dramatically affects our attitude, perspective and ultimately our decisions. Superbowl commercials? Who cares! They're freakin' commercials! But, more people care about ads than the actual game. What does that mean?

GAYS usually are stupid people. Can you name any GAY SCIENTIST??

That has to be a joke.

Leftist's love name changes:

Bush Republican to Republican to libertarian to conservative to teabagger to Republican?

Compassionate conservative to war president to who?

What sounds better, murderer or man-slaughterer?

pedophile or child rapist?

its all just terms, they are the same thing.

Polls are methods to manipulate.
You could say:
Do you want to take away driviers licenses from
pedophiles or wife-abusers?
and whichever they anser you can say, People agree to let pedophiles continue to have drivers licenses.

or the other group

because you HAVE to answer the question.

Polls mean nothing and should not be allowed.
They can say anything you want them to say.

yeah... Leftist's love name changes:

Like
The Patriot Act
Pro-Life
Murder (for abortion)
Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Rendition
Sodomites
Civil Unions
Socialist
Marxist
Indoctrinated

or my favorite

Freedom Fries!

"or my favorite

Freedom Fries!"

How about Reagan renaming the MX missile "The Peacekeeper"?
