Akin criticizes 'lord and savior' remark by Foxx

eileen10 5 months, 3 weeks ago

I don't see anything wrong with what Jamie Foxx said. He wasn't talking about Jesus. He was talking about Pres. Obama. Akin want's money to pay his campaign bills?When pigs fly!

eileen10 5 months, 3 weeks ago

And further more I don't feel Jamie mocked Christian values. More warped thinking from Akin and if he want's to talk about the problems facing our country he needs to look in the mirror and he'll see a very big problem.

Where was all this hatred when Limbaugh was calling women who want birth control sl*ts.......... Oh Yeah he is on the frightside so he gets a pass. Graceful and the rest of you are just big ol hypocrites.

JCLifer 5 months, 2 weeks ago

No, Linbaugh was right on target. The woman was unmarried and admitted to having multiple sexual activities outside of marriage. That is in direct violation of the real Lord and Savior's Commandment: “You shall not commit adultery". Because of her admitted behavior, it is very accurate to label her a "sl*t".

Linbaugh called this one correctly.

TickledPink 5 months, 2 weeks ago

And with that statement I can think of many things that would be "accurate" to call you ... but I'll refrain.

adultery [əˈdʌltərɪ] n pl -teries (Law) voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man or woman and a partner other than the legal spouse

Try again.

Sl*t: a : a promiscuous woman; especially : prostitute

So Obama is your Lord and Savior?

eileen10 5 months, 3 weeks ago

No. Not mine. Your my lord and savior :) A great many black people look up to Obama and you know the story. A lord and savior to me is anyone a person looks up to and learns things from and respects. Doesn't have to be Jesus but just anyone in general.

connor 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Ahmmm. No not from my experience. Someone you look up to would be a mentor or even a hero I guess. Someone's Lord and Savior would be at minimum a person you place above you or is placed above you with almost god-like powers of life and death and a savior would be someone who saved you either physically (which may only be a rescuer) or spiritually.

Now how does the Obama fit that into that mold?

eileen10 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Wel, a lord can also be a business tycoon, a husband, and there's lord of the rings, lord of ultima, lord of the manor, house of lords , aristocrat and lord have mercy. And of course what you said. Now don't nit pick. I just don't see a problem with what J Foxx said. If people want to look up to Pres. Obama as a lord and savior so be it. It's not hurting anyone ya know. My lord and savior could be a tylenol or a hamburger. If it's a religous frame of mind then it's not a tylenol or hamburger. Kind of like a jackass is usually an animal but we also use it in referance to a person. And don't even go there. I'm not calling you a jackass. Pig headed sometimes..yep. But everyone fits that catagory.

connor 5 months, 3 weeks ago

Well other than the fact that it is still used to denote a title in the British Isles, which does confuse the issue somewhat, I think your are more than a bit confused what the title Lord is meant to convey.

I am not offended by it because nothing these racists can do would surprise me. In fact it pretty much confirms what I already believed about Obama and his followers.

eileen10 5 months, 3 weeks ago

No I'm not confused. I know what you mean about the word and meaning of Lord. I see it that way as well when I'm referring to Jesus. But I use the word lord to mean other things to. Simple old American slang.

I am one of those who is offended by an entertainer using those specific words to describe a politician (any politician), but I can't see the connection with paying off Todd Akin's campaign debts. That is to say, any umbrage I might feel does not make me deranged enough to run and get my checkbook.

Jamie Foxx is a comedian and an actor and he also dabbles in the music business..in short Mr. Fox is in the entetainment business. Now I have to admit I didn't watch the award's show and therefore never heard the comments...but I do have enough sense to know this. Everything said on those type of shows is made for entertainment purposes. Comedian Jamie Foxx was the MC of the show and he made an attempt at telling a joke...was it a bad joke...that depend's on who you are...but nonethe less his comments in my opinion were just that a joke. The same cannot be said about Mr.Akin...who in this case is obviously taking the comments of Mr. Foxx out of context. What I also find interesting is that Mr. Akin some how feels that God was disrespected by what Mr. Foxx said. Mr Akin seems to have forgotten that the "Lord Savior" is still kinda upset at Mr. Akin's claims that during a LEGITIMATE RAPE a women can shut down a man's sperm and therefore can prevent herself from getting pregnant.
Hey, I'm sure our Lord and Savior has a sense of humor and is asking which one of these fella's is the more disrepectful or the joker? Which one of these fella's comments were told as a joke? Which one of these fella's is now being a knucklehead and is seriously confused about "Christian values"?

Mr. Akin if you have an issue with what Jamie Fox take it up with him...casue you can rest assurd...when you get a chance to see the "Lord and Savior"...he and his angel's (especially those female one's) are gonna have an issue with you.

Paroquet 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Graceful? You're the one that in a previous thread spit upon our country, and in my time observing your posts, you've hinted at an uprising from the religious right, and in general have not been very forgiving.

Christians don't get treated badly by the left except when they overstep their constitutional bounds with righteous impunity and then defend their deliberate transgressions with holy fury and indignation when in fact they have suffered no injury or insult.

You don't see me cramming my religious views down the throats of another or trying to place you in a coercive environment, especially one seemingly endorsed by figures of enforcement and authority.

A comedian making fun of the Taliban or Islam would likewise merit your recommendation for condemnation. As it was, you can, I'm sure, recollect 2004 jibes by conservatives regarding how he was viewed as a spiritual icon in their eyes by his supporters. Would that also not merit your wrath?

You really have to watch throwing around the word "hypocrite" with a memory that seems as selective as yours.

connor 5 months, 2 weeks ago

What a load of horse fertilizer The very act of mandating taxes from a Christian and using them to fund abortions and other lifestyles that a Christian or any other religion is against is cramming your religious or personal beliefs down anthers throat.

Christians may point out that someone is offensive but you do not hear of Western Christians seeking their form of Religious law or clamoring for the UN to enact speech censorship because someone said something or had the audacity to draw a cartoon. It is not hypocritical at all to allow a documentary showing the flaws of Islam and then being offended if someone makes one for Christianity because you don't believe in Islam. It is hypocritical to demand laws banning one point of view and not another however.

As usual Liberals will never see the difference and focus only on vengeance against one particular group at every chance they get.

bluesfan13 5 months, 2 weeks ago

So if someone makes derogatory comments or jokes, or "documentaries" about Islam, that's fine with you because of freedom of speech/religion, and any offense taken by people of that faith is unwarrented. But the minute a comedian makes a joke that slightly digs at christianity they "need to be held accountable"?

I am Christian and I do think the "Lord and Savior and his Angels, especially those females one's" is gonna speak to Mr. Akins about his foolish comments. Now they might not hate him for what he said, but I believe these folks are gonna remind Mr. Akin just how ignorant his comments were. As for what Foxx said...he is a commendian and he made a joke. Am I offended..."No"..does that make me any less Christian? I don't beleive so. Is Mr.. Akin any less Christian for making his well known "women can shut down the sperm of a legitimate rapist" comment? No...it only makes him a Christain who said and actually believe's some very foolish thing's.
Just so ya know we already had a Civil War. and it was because of the way thes special Christians you keep talking about wanted to treat people they didn't understand or like. Aside from all that, I NEEEVER knew that Christain's were retsricted to the left or right, republican or democrat or tea party...are you telling me that in order to be a Christian I have to agree with Todd Akin? If that's the case.... Asalam Alakem Alah be praised"...no more prok for me:)

[quote: user_wow]"...are you telling me that in order to be a Christian I have to agree with Todd Akin?[/quote]

Yes. That would be the bent and whimsy of some of the more vociferous so-called (self named) "conservatives" here. In their mind, (D) is for "Devil", none are worthy of competent compassion, nobody but them has the right ideas. Liberals (cf. democrats) are alternately fascists, communists, baby-killing atheists, anti-god evolutionists, and socialists. You have to be consistently able to convince yourself you're better than everyone else in order to justify spitting upon any who might disagree with your opinion without being able to articulate and rationalize your own. It's a very exclusive group, rather like a matriarchal troop of howler monkeys.

connor 5 months, 2 weeks ago

So basically wow and Paroquet you guys are saying God would approve of abortion and his female Angels (not exactly sure Angel's have the same gender divide as humans do but whatever) would be all pro-abortion rights and such? What about the Saints if you are of that bent? Are they all pro-abortion as well?

Further more wow is saying that if being Christian means having an anti-abortion stance he or she would rather be Muslim? I guess you are attempting to infer that Islam practices more "Liberal" religious dogma than Christian? Allowing gays to go unpunished and women uncovered and all that?

every time Akin's name is brought up the feminist forum-thugs and their allies come out in mass. For that reason alone I am fond of Mr. Akin. I find it funny that it is common knowledge that just about any mammal but especially with herd and domesticated stock animals that times of stress, famine and other outward stimulus can effect their ability to reproduce but yet it is scientifically "proven" (despite some medical professionals who say otherwise) that it has no bearing on human females. Of course that should more properly be said it has no bearing on western Feminist females who want at will, no questions asked, guilt free, government funded abortions.

Of course no one said anything about getting rid of abortions in a rape situation, but that's not important. How dare anyone question the rape culture the Feminist have created. What they say is rape and there will be no argument entertained to the contrary.

Well Akin lost. The downside is a faster slide into the immoral pit. The upside is the Feminist and other Liberal victim coalition groups will have less offspring for the next Conservative generation to have to deal with.

Paroquet 5 months, 2 weeks ago

No, Connor. Your omniscient omnipotent deity of choice has the power to stop them on their own. I suppose I could say, as evidenced by your statement, that while the Creator(s) may not approve of abortion, they sure seem to have no problem with rape since they let it happen so very, very often. I could point one finger at the Catholic priest scandal and leave it at that, and to say any other power caused it or was responsible renders an impression of an omniscient, omnipotent, merciful, angry, jealous Supreme God quite suspect (all God's own words as penned in the Christian Bible).

And before you go citing immorality, take a gander in the acoustic mirror; you come-off (to me) as a sanctimonious, bigoted white male that's A-okay with the subjugation of women. Please correct me if my impression is in error, as I so desperately want it to be. Values and morals along those lines do not have a place in our future.

connor 5 months, 2 weeks ago

The struggle for Christian morality is not God's struggle it is man's so Divine intervention is not really an option.

Since there isn't a religion or pseudo faith out there that hasn't had it's own sexual predators your examples really hold no water overall.

As for the subjugation of women if you want to believe in the "Bad ol' days" there is nothing I can do to change your mind. It has gotten you libs this far might as well go with it.

Paroquet 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I'm a Lib, true. Lib as in Libertarian. The definitions of which are: 1- One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state. 2- One who believes in free will. I'm also an equal rights supporter, without exception or prejudice.

You "Conservatives" spend entirely too much time trying to tell others what to do, socially, morally, and otherwise for my tastes. Look what happened the last time an totally (R) capitol hill was in power; they relaxed rules that did one thing and one thing only: kept people honest. Result? Come 2007, the DIJA started it's plummet and didn't begin to uptick until mid 2008 on account of a bail-out that was a direct result of the previous administrations actions.

My wounds are still a little raw from that deal, so I can't be persuaded by the same rhetoric that got us there.

connor 5 months, 2 weeks ago

You are not a Libertarian. A true Libertarian is totally against the taxation and social engineering the so called equal rights as you put it. Your arguments for wealth redistribution and government funding of issues proves this.

However believe what you want. I have a good blogger friend who is a screaming Libertarian I could introduce you to if you want to see what a true Libertarian values.

As for the market up ticks yes some values were raised but not really until 2009 and you missed the most important part of the market increase. It isn't the individual price or market index but the volume that really matters.

No...I'm not saying God would approive or dissapprove of "abortion". But I do think God would wonder how someone he created could say something as dumb as "women have the ability to stop the sperm of legitimate rapist and therefore cannot get pregnant as a result of being raped". I also think that "God" knows the difference between a "JOKE" and really dumb statement that made by a p[erson who is trying to get elected. I understand the abortion issue is very sensitive and some people are for it and other's are not...that's a choice we all have. But that isn't a dumb statement...that's a fact! Also, I'm not God nor do I profess to be, but I am a reasonable person who believes in people having the right to choose what happens to them.

asb 5 months, 2 weeks ago

I'm not offended, but I'm not a Christian. I'm not entertained either, it was silly. It plays to the FRightWing portrayal of Obama as a would-be king and does indeed offend many, Christian or otherwise. If Todd Akin is going to be offended enough to go public with every tasteless thing a comedian says, then he's got an entirely new career ahead of him.

I can't believe we're arguing about this. So some guy said a thing. Big deal. Who cares what Jamie Fox says?

This is called "manufactured outrage." Oh, I'm offended! Oh, surely this comment from some guy will cause the sky to fall!

Please. Fake posers. Posing like you're offended. One talk show guy hypes up "this horrible thing that Whatshisname said," and you little parrots start squaking like "Did you HEAR those comments? I'm so offended! Those comments!" These talk show hosts have led y'all into the wilderness, and now you're stumbling around in the dark shouting about Jamie Fox. You don't feel the least bit stupid about this?

Since Grace has the dictionary out, some of you parrots ought to look up the meaning of the word "embarassing." You don't seem to grasp the concept.

Funny how some folks think the outrage over allowing a a Koran to be flushed down the toilet is justified, but public mockery of our Lord and Savior is no big deal.

Sequoia 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Have you watched the video of him saying it? Did you see for yourself, or are you just buying the manufactured outrage and wearing it like the latest fashion?

Watch the vidoe. You HONESTLY call that "mockery"?

Look, I don't get outraged about somebody burning a Koran, I just think it is a pointless and stupid thing to do, given the risk-reward ratio. Given the risk that people will flip out (ignorant, in my view, but certainly inevitable) against the reward of... well, what exactly IS the upside of burning a Koran? A person who burns a Koran on YouTube seems to be intentionally putting life at risk, and that INTENTION, I think, is the difference between burning a Koran and Jamie Fox thanking "God, and our lord and savior... Barack Obama" on the Soul Train Awards.

Are you serious about this analogy?

So, 1) watch the video for yourself and I don't think you'll take Fox all that seriously and 2) I don't see his comments as the same thing as burning a Koran. People living in the 21st century don't flip out and riot and make fools of themselves over stuff like this.

Well, MOST of us don't...

I just can't believe this is what the talk shows got now, and how you guys just go right along with it. This is honestly a low point for some of you.

Sequoia 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Watch the video for yourself. You can google it.

To me, it seems like he's poking fun, first, at the idea of thanking God at TV award shows, and then the line about "our lord and savior" seems more like a making a little fun out of his audience's love for BO more so than making fun of Jesus.

But, really, I bet most of you guys got outraged about Foxx after you heard about it on a talk show. I bet you didn't even listen to the comments for yourself. That's the stupid thing. That's why I'm so disappointed in you right now.

The statement interprets the statement. It does not matter if said jokingly or seriously. It stands on it's own.

He has the right to say what he wants, that is a basic right (at least for the left). However, equally guaranteed (at least for the left) is the right for others to disagree.

It is offensive to Christians, it is also a stupid thing to say unless Foxx likes the idea of claiming such a position for a politician.

Politicians continue their careers by saying whatever they think will get them elected, whether correct, true, helpful, incorrect, false, deadly, or just plain stupid. Not my idea of a lord or savior -- whether that is capitalized or lower-case.

Panhandling is one thing, posing like a defender of the faith to bring in the bucks is another thing. I doubt the Clinton's are going around asking people to help them help Jesus.

I'm not sure how a remark about Jesus becomes "a problem facing our country," but if Todd Akin thinks that Jamie Foxx presents a clear and present danger to either the Chrisitian faith or the American republic, then the Mr. Akin must think our faith and nation are made of tissue paper.

Anybody ever heard of Freedom of Religion or Speech. If a person doesn't believe in Jesus then it is not a problem in this country. Granted people like Graceful and the rest of you talk about Obama being a tyrant and all of that but the beauty of this country is that everybody can be different and not be persecuted for the beliefs that they hold. That is unless it contradicts dis-Gracefuls opinions then everybody is going to hell in a handbasket because you disagree but thats okay because in the country she is entitled to her opinion and to espouse it from the highest mountain on the loudest speaker if she so chooses but she is still a hypocrite because she doesn't feel that anybody else has that right. Its as if she feels that she is the right hand of god and everything she says is right but in my opinion as much as she complains about this country dying and all that melarchy that she says. You would think she would be packing up to move somewhere else but we all know that there is no place on Earth better than the USA. But get over yourself because you are not he great Prophet that is going to lead us to the promised land just another person espousing their views and insulting anyone that doesn't agree. Kind of like the Frightside does to everything it touches. But some of them are coming around and dropping Mr Norquist who is a nobody anyway. Just a rich man that wants to control everyone's pocketbooks by showering Refuglicans with money like the rest of the lobbyists.
