Powerful Lesbian Celebrity Ellen DeGeneres Hosting Oscars to Appease Women, Gays

MRC.org:

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will host the 86^th Academy Awards next year on March 2, 2014. The pick is a natural fit. DeGeneres is popular, likeable and experienced, having previously hosted the ceremony in 2007. 

But more important, her presence will appease women and gays while dousing the Academy’s reputation as “an old white man’s club.” And that’s not the opinion of some stodgy conservative group – it comes right from the The Hollywood Reporter’s awards analyst.

According to Scott Feinberg of Hollywood Reporter (THR) the Academy’s going back to DeGeneres is calculated: “What better way could there be for the Academy to distance itself from offensive comments about women and gays than to hire the world's most famous and popular lesbian entertainer to be its public face to millions of people around the world?” 

DeGeneres rose as an attractive pick not only because she comes across as “funny,” “safe,” “familiar,” and “savvy” but also because she, “helps to counter the perception,” The Hollywood Reporter noted, “that the Academy is a club of old white men.” 

In other words, Seth Macfarlane fell short of an ideal host last year. As  Feinberg wrote, Macfarlane “behaved in a way that many felt was misogynistic,” from chanting about Oscar-nominated actresses in a “We Saw Your Boobs” song to suggesting that 9-year-old best actress nominee Quvenzhane Wallis would one day have sex with George Clooney. 
 
Just a year before that, Oscars producer Brett Ratner ran afoul of Hollywood sensibilities when he resigned from the production of the 85th Academy Awards after making inappropriate gay remarks.

Endorsing Homosexuality Hurts JCPenney

It wasn't too long ago that major retail outlet JCPenney caused a bit of a stir in conservative circles by not only featuring powerful lesbian talk show host Ellen Degeneres in one of their commercials, but further endorsing homosexuality as a normal lifestyle choice by featuring two gay "dads" in a Father's Day ad.

One Million Moms, a conservative watchdog group, was mocked and met with scorn from the liberal media for having the audacity to stand up to JCPenney for promoting sin while pushing homosexuality onto consumers who don't care about the political views of morally bankrupt, rich, white liberals and just want to shop. But after what seemed to be a victory for anti-God Left, what with calls to boycott JCPenney being met with laughs and the store defending its in-your-face, radically-leftist agenda, One Million Moms may be getting the final laugh as thanks in part to going gay we may be soon the last days of JCPenney:

J.C. Penney (JCP: 22.67, -0.73, -3.12%) swung to a loss after reporting a sharp 23% decline in second-quarter sales, but CEO Ron Johnson said the retailer’s transformation is “on track.”

The company has had a series of disappointing quarters despite undergoing a massive overhaul that is supposed to fix its price strategy and revamp the department store’s image.

In June, J.C. Penney’s highly-coveted president, Michael Francis, who was poached from Target (TGT: 62.51, -0.33, -0.53%) to help lead the retailer’s turnaround efforts, left after just eight months.

The Plano, Texas-based company reported net loss of $147 million, or 67 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $14 million, or 7 cents.

Excluding one-time items, the company lost 37 cents a share, worse than the 25-cent loss forecast by analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll.  

Revenue for the three months ended July 28 was $3.02 billion, down 22.6% from $3.91 billion, narrowly below the Street’s view of $3.2 billion. Comparable-store sales – a highly-watched growth metric for retailers – fell by 21.7%, while online sales dipped 32.6%.

J.C. Penney also said it “no longer anticipates achieving the previously issued non-GAAP earnings guidance” for fiscal 2012, but said the company expects to end the year with at least $1 billion of cash on the balance sheet even after spending $800 million on the restructuring.

Ellen Degeneres-Led Gay Mafia Sentences Dharun Ravi To 30 Days In Jail For Tyler Clementi's Suicide

Unable to battle his rising demons, morally bankrupt, gay, alternative lifestyle-choosing Rutgers student Tyler Clementi killed himself by jumping from the George Washington Bridge in September 2010. Always on the lookout for a martyr to use and advance their anti-Christian agenda, the powerful Gay Mafia pounced on the story, exploited it to the fullest extent and pinned the blame for Clementi's suicide on his roommate Dharun Ravi after learning that he had secretly videotaped Clementi in their room with a male date. The "OUTRAGE!!!" from this story, backed wholeheartedly by the liberal MSM claims of "bullying" and "anti-gay bigotry", had reached such huge proportions that even the most powerful gay advocate in the world, Ellen Degeneres, weighed in on the matter on her daily show and declared that “Something must be done."

Of course, despite the lies that the liberal media told, when the facts came to light it was found that Ravi didn't watch Clemento taking part in gay sex or even "out" Clementi's homosexual behavior. Ravi used a webcam to spy on his gay roommate kissing another man, a dumb prank that shouldn't have gotten him nothing more than a slap on the wrist from his school. But when the powerful Gay Mafia gets involved...well it's a different story. I mean, 30 days for "bias intimidation?!? Yes, folks that's the world we live in today:

A New Jersey judge on Monday sentenced Dharun Ravi to 30 days in jail for spying on and intimidating his gay Rutgers University roommate, Tyler Clementi, who then killed himself by jumping off New York's George Washington Bridge in September 2010.

Ravi will serve three years of probation and must complete community service aimed at assisting victims of bias crimes, according to Superior Judge Glenn Berman. He also must pay more than $11,000 in restitution.

Berman stayed the jail sentence for 10 days in case of an appeal. If no appeal is filed, Ravi must report to the jail on May 31. However, both prosecutors and defense said they would appeal.

The September 2010 death of Tyler Clementi, and Ravi's trial this year, thrust the issue of cyberbullying and prejudices against homosexuals into the national spotlight.

Clementi, an 18-year-old freshman, plunged to his death in the Hudson River after learning that Ravi had secretly spied via a webcam as Clementi kissed another man.

"I haven't heard you apologize once," Berman told Ravi, 20. He said Clementi "placed his trust in you without any conditions, and you violated it."

Ravi, he said, acted out of "colossal insensitivity."

Ellen Degeneres "Inspires" Soap Actress Joanna Johnson To Be A Lesbian

Sexually speaking there is nothing a woman can do for a woman that a man can't. Nothing. But putting aside one of the faux-facade's used by morally-bankrupt, alternative lifestyle-choosing homosexuals to excuse their amoral behavior, God made our bodies the way he did for many reasons including procreation. And the body is as much a temple of God as is the mind and spirit. That said, in a world that grows more and more perverse by the minute, the mere presence, acceptance and popularity of the world's most pwerful gay advocate, Ellen Degeneres, continues to do wonders on women who already live life without a moral compass:

“The Bold and the Beautiful” actress Joanna Johnson has come out of the closet.

The 50-year-old Johnson, who was first introduced to viewers as Caroline Spencer on the CBS soap in 1987 before going on to play Caroline’s twin sister Karen, told TV Guide that she is married to a female club promoter and has two adopted children.

Johnson said she was reluctant to reveal her sexuality in the past. “I was so worried I wouldn’t be employable as an actress if people knew I was a lesbian,” she said, “or that I wouldn’t be believable in romance stories. I had to deal with a lot of self-loathing.”

Johnson said she realized she was gay in her early twenties, but she didn’t have celebrity role models like Ellen DeGeneres to look up to. She said, “I guess it’s my turn to do my little part. It’s time to live a fully authentic life.”

Johnson’s “Bold and the Beautiful” character is currently involved in a lesbian relationship. She took a break from the show to work on the ABC sitcom “Hope & Faith” and returned to the soap in 2009.

I'm amazed that I'm writing this, but I actually agree with Andrew Sullivan and Bill Maher here and I couldn't have explained this better myself. Maybe someone out there should send this piece to No. 1 far-Left gay advocate Ellen Degerenes (who is the person who made Tyler Clementi out to be a martyr in the first place) so she could see two far-Left loons state passionately that being stupid and mean doesn't mean you deserve 10 years in prison:

On tonight’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the host and gay columnist Andrew Sullivan spoke out strongly against hate crimes legislation, branding it as the government trying to regulate people’s thoughts. Sullivan argued that in an ideal society based on the rule of law, a person should be judged on their actions, not their thoughts. Maher and Sullivan also agreed that the roommate of Tyler Clementi, the gay Rutgers student who committed suicide after said roommate pranked him, should not be charged with bias intimidation.


Fellow panelist Wendy Schiller disagreed with Maher and Sullivan’s arguments, saying that “an inclination to hate causes destruction,” and said that certain mental states may lead a person to commit a violent crime in the future. Sullivan shot back that people hate and resent other people for a number of reasons, including class resentment or personal animosity, and there are no hate crimes laws that encompass those mindsets.


On the other hand, Maher also brought up crimes of passion, where people tend to get lesser sentences because of their emotional state, and said that the law should just tell people it’s not okay to kill someone no matter your personal emotional state. Sullivan made it clear that neither he nor Maher are “standing up for hate,” but that they were trying to be intellectually consistent when it comes to defending the rights of all people, including homophobes.


“The right of a bigot to walk down the street is the same right of a drag queen to walk down the street. You attack it for one group, every group will suffer.”


Maher shifted the discussion to Dharun Ravi, the roommate of Tyler Clemente, who was found guilty of all charges and may face 10 years in prison. Ravi did spy on Clemente, and Maher didn’t doubt “he was a mean kid” but he said that Ravi shouldn’t face that much jail time for being “mean.” Sullivan agreed, saying that most people who are the subject of pranks that border on horrible don’t end up committing suicide, and said that if everyone who’s ever pulled a prank on someone and hurt them, whether homosexuality was an issue or not, “half the country would be locked up.”


Schiller tried to argue that Ravi specifically targeted Clementi because he was gay, but Maher disputed that notion, calling him a “kid in a dorm” who did something stupid, and said that pushing for hate crimes legislation “gives liberals a bad name.” Sullivan pointed out that Ravi vigorously denied that he was homophobic, and argued that the justice system was trying to decide what was inside his mind and his heart for him.

Victory For Ellen Degerenes-Led Gay Mafia: Dharun Ravi Convicted Of "Hate Crimes", Alternate Juror in Rutgers Spy Case Disagrees With Guilty Verdict

Remember it was satanist and gay activist Ellen Degeneres who brought national attention to innocent Rutgers student Dhuran Ravi in the first place by attempting to make fellow student Tyler Clementi into a martyr for the morally bankrupt worldwide gay community and it's radical, anti-God leaders. Indeed, now just being accused of being "homophobic" can get you imprisoned, much less ruin your life:

What Dharun Ravi did was creepy and childish. He used a webcam to spy on his roommate, Tyler Clementi, kissing another man in their dorm at Rutgers. He invited other students to watch, and wrote about it on his Twitter feed. He was a geeky freshman trying to show off.


But that’s not enough to put him behind bars, in the company of rapists, muggers and killers — as allowed under the state’s sloppy hate crimes law. We hope the judge makes the exceptional call not to give him jail time — a decision that’s within his power.


Ravi wasn’t charged in Clementi’s death, though the gay student’s suicide was what poured gasoline on this fire. We’ll never know why Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge, so it’s unfair to pin that on Ravi.


He deserves the same type of punishment as Molly Wei, the other student charged with spying on Clementi: counseling and community service. Chances are, Ravi didn’t take a plea deal like she did because he was afraid he’d be deported to India. He’s here on a student visa.


Now, he’s looking at possible deportation and a state prison sentence. He’s certain to appeal, and the appellate judges should find this vague, confusing bias law unconstitutional. It’s a huge overreach in this case. What Ravi and Wei did was beyond mean. But it’s not clear they did it specifically because Clementi was gay.


Yes, they treated him like a sideshow curiosity. But lascivious pranks aren’t uncommon in a freshman dorm, and you get the impression the same might have happened if the shy violinist had brought home an extremely obese or particularly unattractive woman he met online. How uncool — easy target.


Remember, while Ravi made fun of Clementi for being gay, Clementi made fun of Ravi for his Indian heritage. Both accused the other of being poor. These were two roommates who didn’t know how to talk to each other, so they wrote petty jibes online. They were immature, not trying to instill fear. As Star-Ledger columnist Kathleen O’Brien pointed out, the other kids in the dorm, who said nothing and did nothing to stop Ravi’s scheme, are culpable, too.


Having a bias law is a legitimate way to highlight the threat of hate crimes, which are an attempt to instill fear in an entire community. If someone goes around burning crosses on lawns, it would seem odd to charge him simply with trespassing or damaging private property.


But here, there was no evidence that Ravi was trying to instill fear. None of the students who testified said they saw any evidence that he was bigoted toward gay people.


This case shows the danger of having such a broad statute. Legislators need to rethink this law, and tailor the punishments to fit the severity of the crime and the clarity of the threat.


We searched for proof of homophobia in Ravi, but we should focus that scrutiny on ourselves. Do we tell our kids it’s okay to be gay? Why don’t we accept soldiers and teachers and athletes who are openly gay? Or allow gay people to marry whom they love, like everyone else?


What kind of despair prompted Clementi to step off that bridge? Maybe it’s something he internalized, that we as a society have taught.

Led By Lesbian Gay Activist Ellen Degeneres, Liberals Try To Imprison Innocent Rutgers College Student Dharun Ravi

Oftentimes Ellen Degeneres reminds me of the famous line from the movie "The Usual Suspects": 'The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist'. That the oft-branded "Nicest Person In The World" (and apolitical too!) Degeneres can continue to get away with being the most powerful gay activist in the world without anyone actually saying it is a testament to her character and her shrewdness. If only poor Dharun Ravi had a clue:

Prosecutors in New Jersey have pulled off a neat trick: They have made a victim out of an immature jerk loathed by much of the country when he came to its attention two years ago.

Dharun Ravi is the Rutgers University student who used a webcam to spy on his gay roommate, Tyler Clementi. When Clementi committed suicide by throwing himself off the George Washington Bridge, the tragedy became a morality play.

It was widely reported that Ravi had posted a video of the closeted Clementi having sex, and thus outed him and drove him to take his own life.

Shy and a talented violinist, Clementi became a national symbol of anti-gay bullying. “Something must be done,” declared Ellen DeGeneres.

The prosecutors have duly done something: After he refused to admit guilt in a plea deal, they’ve thrown the book at Ravi, who could face 10 years in prison if convicted in a trial that has just begun.

They are pursuing Ravi to the utmost despite the unraveling of the tidy black-and-white story that rightly outraged people at the time of Clementi’s death.

In a long, nuanced account of the case in The New Yorker, Ian Parker reports that the initial narrative about the tragedy was entirely erroneous: “There was no posting, no observed sex and no closet.”

Parker’s piece won’t make anyone warm up to Dharun Ravi. He is portrayed as an arrogant showoff, desperate to cover his tracks with authorities once he finds out about Clementi’s awful fate.

But he isn’t worthy of prison time, either. It can only be misplaced zeal on the part of New Jersey’s prosecutors that makes them so determined to define Ravi’s conduct as criminal spying and (in the charge that brings the most jail time) “bias intimidation.”

Ravi and Clementi agreed to become roommates their freshman year after finding one another online. Ravi quickly discovered that Clementi was gay, because his prospective roommate was posting on a gay Web site. (Clementi came out to his parents shortly before leaving for school.)

Ravi and a friend engaged in juvenile banter, making fun of Clementi for being gay, “poor” and uncool.

It’s painful to read, but no different than what high-school students say about one another all the time.

Clementi and Ravi barely talked when they lived together. One night, Clementi asked Ravi to leave him alone with a nonstudent in his mid-20s for what turned out to be an assignation. From a friend’s room across the hall, Ravi briefly turned on his webcam and saw the two in an embrace. He derisively tweeted that he saw his roommate “making out with a dude.”

Clementi later saw Ravi’s tweet and agonized about what to do. In the meantime, he asked for the room again for another tryst, and this time Ravi tweeted that people should tap into his webcam for a show. But Clementi turned off Ravi’s computer, and the viewing never happened.

Clementi requested a change of roommates. With that, and disciplinary action against Ravi, it should have ended.

There are no laws against obnoxious disregard for the feelings of a sensitive young man. Parker writes that the indictment against Ravi “can be seen as a kind of regretful commentary about the absence of such statutes.”

The case against him for invasion of privacy is shaky since he apparently neither expected to see, nor actually saw, any “intimate parts” (as specified in the law) the first time around, and the second time no one saw anything.

The charges for “bias intimidation” — a scandalously amorphous category — are weaker. One gets the sense that Ravi may well have hit it off with Clementi if his roommate had been more gregarious. And one can imagine, as Parker notes, him being just as scornful if Clementi’s sexual partner had been an unattractive woman.

Trying to right a wrong that the law can’t reach, the prosecutors are guilty of perpetrating one themselves.

Failed "American Idol" Judge Ellen DeGeneres Hired As JCPenney Spokeswoman

It's no secret that morally bankrupt social liberals and gay activists love Ellen DeGeneres, a now "gay" woman who gets off on turning normally heterosexual women into lesbians (both ex-girlfriend Anne Heche, who has returned to having sex with men and current "wife" Portia de Rossi both had longterm relationship with men before hooking up with Ellen. DeGeneres, a longtime average-at-best comedian and actress, has used her chosen sexuality, love from the biased, liberal media and a passive-aggressive wit (that speaks to her narcissism) to achieve super-stardom despite having little talent to match it. And in a corrupt business where female comedians struggle mightily to achieve a quarter of the fame and fortune DeGeneres has, it's a shame that despite her many fails (including, most recently, a short stint on "American Idol" that the Left would like for everyone to forget about) that DeGeneres continues to sucker people into hiring her for major gigs:

Supporters are rallying to counter a conservative group's campaign urging JC Penney to fire Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman because she is openly gay.


They are showing their support for the popular talk show host, named spokeswoman for the department store chain last week, online and through social media.


Shortly after the American Family Association's One Million Moms group launched its campaign against DeGeneres, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination launched a "Stand Up for Ellen" website; within 17 hours, more than 10,000 people signed an online petition supporting DeGeneres and JC Penney's choice. An unscientific poll in the Los Angeles Times showed that 96 percent of readers support DeGeneres.


They also expressed their outrage on Twitter. A sample tweet on Thursday protesting the campaign reads: "Dear One Million Moms "a family values group", spend more time loving your families instead of perpetuating hate."

The AFA's "One Million Moms," a project made up of an undetermined number of mothers, is urging people to call JC Penney headquarters and demand that the Texas-based department store chain ditch DeGeneres because the Cover Girl model, former American Express spokeswoman, Peoples Choice Award winner and New York Times bestselling author is gay.


So far, it hasn't happened.


DeGeneres, incidentally, is a former JC Penney sales clerk.

Hypocrite CoverGirl Spokeswoman Ellen DeGeneres Says Women Shouldn't Be Worried About Outer Beauty

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Newsbusters.org:

During a web-only interview with CBS's Katie Couric to promote her new role on "American Idol," comedienne Ellen DeGeneres went on a rant about our sexist culture that demands women look more attractive than men.

There's just one problem: DeGeneres is the face of Proctor and Gamble's famous makeup line CoverGirl. In fact, she even appeared in a well known commercial saying, "Inner beauty is important -- but not nearly as important as outer beauty."

Too bad a serious journalist like Couric didn't think to ask if DeGeneres's fans might get confused. Then again, The Perky One would have had to confront her own complicity in flouting short skirts on network news programs and giving condescending interviews to women like Sarah Palin.

Without regard to the obvious hypocrisy, Couric teed up the subject by asking if DeGeneres was concerned for women who "are so obsessed and worried and spend so much time thinking about their bodies." DeGeneres used the question to accuse American culture of a sexist double standard.

Do liberal celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres ever think before they talk? I mean, with this being the YouTube age, you'd think she'd be a tad, bit smart enough to realize that she sound just a little hypocritical here.
