Responding to a caller who said, "I had to explain to my young son why these two men were holding hands the other day," radio host Michael Savage stated, during the June 16 broadcast of The Savage Nation, "You've got to explain to the children ... why God told people this was wrong." He went on to say, "You have to explain this to them in this time of mental rape that's going on. The children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."
... He went on to say of gay marriage, "It's a very important story. The children don't know what to make of it. Children nine, 10 are saying, 'I'm gay.' They don't know what it even means." He added: "It's a giant propaganda machine trying to pervert children"

The children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia..
Alrighty, time for my brain to shut down.
"You've got to explain to the children ... why God told people this was wrong." He went on to say, "You have to explain this to them in this time of mental rape that's going on. The children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds."
How are you supposed to explain to a child how two men holding hands is mind rape? If that's what you think rape is, then what do you call unconsensual sex with someone?
"It's a very important story. The children don't know what to make of it."
I'm an adult, and I don't really know what to make of it. I just hope your kids don't get done for rape when they are spotted holding hands with someone.
When spoken, Michael Savage's retarded comments rape my ears; and when written, my eyes. IOW, I've been skull-fucked by the Savage Wiener.
What did you have to explain? That the two guys liked each other a lot and that even though this world needs love a hell of a lot more than it needs hate, that was wrong because they both had the same equipment? You're a despicable excuse for a human being and if I ever raise children I will use you as an example of what NOT to do.
Were those two men Bush and the King of Saudi Arabia, by any chance? I don't see fundies ranting and raving about that.
Little boys hold hands all the time, just like little girls do. It's harmless and innocent. And yet two grown men doing the exact same thing is "raping their minds." A grown man and grown woman holding hands is adorable, but if it's a homosexual couple? No, it's disgusting, it's perverted, it's abominable. Double standards much?
Michael Savage is a bigoted waste of oxygen, so anything he says is automatically tripe. And as for his comment regarding ten-year-olds saying they're gay and not knowing what it means, is it any different from people using the word "gay" as a random insult? What about kids using insults they learned from their parents and peers, do you think they know what it means, half the time? Just shut up, Savage, you're giving us all a headache.
Homosexual Mafia? Mind rape? Who the hell is perverting children?
You know I've never had to explain why two men are holding hands to a child, because it was never a big deal. The most I would say is because they love each other. It's fairly easy to explain things honestly to children. It only becomes complicated when you try to turn it into a brain washing course.
As far as boys saying their gay. Hmmm..... would it be the 'that's so gay' or 'you're gay' statements? If so, why are you making such a big deal about it?
And since others brought it up....

Children nine, 10 are saying, 'I'm gay.' They don't know what it even means.
Children of nine and ten also say "I love you" to their friends. No-one is suggesting they're entering an adult relationship. Most of the time it's playing at real life and wondering about what it's like to be an adult.
I'm going to use "mental rape" and "homosexual mafia" in my everyday speech as often as possible. That's funny as hell.
Come to think of it, "homosexual mafia" would be a great name for a gay Italian death metal band.
Ah, the Savage Weiner. He's no fund-tard, he's your typical raving neocon-tard with the exceptionally rare moderate stance that he thinks allows him to claim to be "independent." Basically a shock-jock with a talk show and a strong desire to hide his family name from his listeners (seriously - if you refer to his family name on the air he'll dump you) as most of them are fund-tards.
(fund-tards - the lowest of the fundie "kinds" - they are unabashed in their bigotry and thinks it makes them cool and edgy and intelligent)
"The children don't know what to make of it. Children nine, 10 are saying, 'I'm gay.' They don't know what it even means."
These are the same kind of people who will drag their little kids to a Planned Parenthood center, stick an "Abortion is Murder" sign in their hands, and try to make people think that the kids really know what it's about.
Wait, is his name actually M. Savage Wiener?
I suppose you'd be bound to protest volubly against any form of alternative sexuality if your surname sounds like a BDSM sex toy...
But explaining to the kid why two men were fighting and staggering around due to drunkenness, that's a piece of cake, right?
What are they perverting children into? Seeing reality? Teh HORROR!!!
To me, violence towards a living being is much more perverted than loving someone. But, what do I know...
Oh, shut the fuck up, you ignorant bigot. Being gay is not a choice, so children can't be perverted into it. Also, who cares what your fictional god has to say? This is the same god that commands his followers to kill nonbelievers and stone disobedient children. The Bible never even gives a real reason as to why homosexuality is wrong besides " god says so" anyway.
"The children's minds are being raped by the homosexual mafia, that's my position. They're raping our children's minds." [...] "It's a giant propaganda machine trying to pervert children"
When I remember my childhood, I didn't feel being "raped" at all when I first saw two homosexuals holding hands at a street cafe. I asked my mother, and she simply told me that they are in love with each other. Was completely okay for me, I continued with my cup of ice cream, which was more interesting.
I rather felt mentally raped in my childhood by the theistic religionist mafia, their ruthless indoctrination and their giant propaganda machine.
So since gay children don't know why they're attracted to the same gender, you want to brainwash them into thinking it's unnatural. How very "thoughtful" of you. However, it's doomed to fail, and will only lead to discrimination.
Ah yes, the homosexual mafia. They do much worse than make you wear cement overshoes if you cross 'em! They'll make you wear white Ugg boots... after Labor Day! When they say "It's curtains for you!" you can bet they'll match your carpet! If you come to the Don on the day of his nephew's "Civil Union Party", he'll fulfill any request, though he'll bitch about how you never invite him to brunch.
Did you ever think of the possible consequences, like pushing your kid into bigotry, who may then harm others or get harmed as a result, or perhaps eventually know better, become ashamed, including for you? Or what if it turns out that them, or one of their children, turn out to be gay? Or if one becomes a victim of actual sexual abuse, then discovers how trivializing mentions of rape, when it's not to discuss the actual topic, is harmful? If you were careful against perpetuating victim shaming, why would you ever use this word is vain? Why is it necessary for a stranger on the internet to scold you for being a bad parent?
Confused?
