Title: GOP Senator's Aide: Tell Little Boys That Porn Will Make Them Gay

Michael Schwartz, chief of staff to Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), has an interesting theory: If you tell little boys that looking at pornography will make them gay, maybe they won't want a copy of Playboy.

Schwartz attempted to explain this claim during a pep talk on "the new masculinity" at the Values Voter Conference last week, reported ThinkProgress. During his presentation, Schwartz asserted that all the pre-adolescent boys he has been associated with "speak badly" about homosexuality, which he implied to be somehow positive.

He added that a friend of his once claimed that all pornography is homosexual, because it turns one's sexual urges "inwards."

Here's an excerpt from The Washington Independent:

“Pornography is a blight... It is a disaster. It is one of those silent diseases in our society that we haven’t been able to overcome very well. Now, I may be getting politically incorrect here. And it’s been a few years, but not that many, since I was closely associated with pre-adolescent boys, boys around 10 years of age. But it is my observation that boys of that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people. They speak badly about homosexuality. And that’s because they don’t want to be that way. They don’t want to fall into it.”

Schwartz told the crowd about Jim Johnson, a friend of his who turned an old hotel into a hospice for gay men dying of AIDS. “One of the things he said to me,” said Schwartz, “that I think is an astonishingly insightful remark… he said ‘All pornography is homosexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.”

There were murmurs and gasps from the crowd. “Now, think about that,” said Schwartz. “And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he’s going to want to get a copy of Playboy? I’m pretty sure he’ll lose interest. That’s the last thing he wants! You know, that’s a good comment, it’s a good point, and it’s a good thing to teach young people.”

ThinkProgress added:

Schwartz is no stranger to extreme rhetoric about the gay community. In 2005, he denounced the Supreme Court for giving Americans “the right to commit buggery.” Later, he told Max Blumenthal, “”I’m a radical! I’m a real extremist. I don’t want to impeach judges. I want to impale them!” In 1987, Schwartz co-wrote Gays, AIDS, and You, which according to Blumenthal, alleged that the gay community was “using the AIDS crisis to pursue [their] political agenda.”

He can't be all bad if he says things like this.

Obviously this guy hasn't been following the Hal Turner indictment, eh?

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!

This is Sam Kass, Obama's boy toy who poses as a chef. He both tosses Barry's salad and makes Michelle, "the Queen of the Jungle" jealous at the same time.

Dr Tommie admits he proformed abortions in the past in his medical practice, claims he is 'pro-life,' yet wants to lynch and hang all those who do abortion.

His boyfriend really should get better control over him, he's a mess.

Your visits are all short, Mikey. As I've told you often, to cut and run is your MO. But I understand. Having leaped into the Obama tank, what's to defend?

And this has been the most fun summer for me in a long time, so forgive me of I just chose to enjoy your baits.

Rest assured, I won't play hooky much this Autumn and Winter, and hope your summer was enjoyable as well. ;-)

LOL yeah right.


"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute." --Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791

You'd think the dumb Shiite would stick to the hairy palm lie than to concoct this gem.

He strikes me as the Chester the Molester of the GOP. In fact, a character of him should be drawn up for hustler Magazine to replace that one time one panel cartoon character that created so much consternation in the 70s and 80s for Larry Flynt to enjoy.

Ah yes, being white...a concept Mikey shall never comprehend

Hey Weasel...why isn't your useless mulatto ass dodging bullets in Afghanistan?

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole a bike and asked him to forgive me.

Mikey thinks to celebrate our white European heritage is to be racist. OTOH, every other color and freak of nature can enjoy their uniqueness. It's a logical hook that sticks in the throats of libs.

I had no idea you were albino. Well, good for you.

As far as I care, people are people, and I don't consider any one grouping to be better or worse than another. I also consider all humans to have color to them, and don't suffer from the same obsessions you do. ;-)

First I heard of that. You are projecting erroneously here.

Be proud of your heritage, both human and European. I don't expect Barack Obama to be the only person with African heritage who will occupy the White House. And I don't expect them to all be from the Democratic party either.

I also know that after this century's assortment of different gender and ethnic background people in that office, people will be less obsessed with this sort of incidental aspect of those who will serve as POTUS.

In your case.... treasonous primate
