In Sacha Baron Cohen’s new mockumentary film, Bruno, where he plays as an Austrian homosexual fashion reporter, he managed to pull off a stunt on the former Ku Klux Klan leader, libertarian-conservative nutcase, and failed 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul. The results of the stunt, to say the least, were beyond lol. Now, we all know that libertarians are impervious to any kind of logic and scientific reasoning. And let us not forget to mention that their bigotry of all kinds, whether it is racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. is well known as well. But what occurred in the movie Bruno is just icing on the cake.
Cohen, playing as Bruno, invited Paul to an interview over Austrian economics and during it, one of the lights purposefully broke. As a result, Cohen took Paul into a back room which was designed as a bedroom. Paul sat down and Cohen turned on some music and began dancing, making Paul very uncomfortable. It got to the point where Paul got up and exploded, screaming at Cohen and calling him a queer in a most derogatory manner.
Remarking on the event after the fact, Paul said “I'm probably going to have to apologize to my supporters because I think most of them are going to figure out why in the world didn't I sock this guy in the nose?” Indeed, Mr. Paul, you will have to explain this to them. Your supporters are the lowest kind of bigoted filth known to man. I’m sure any one of them would love to lynch a poor homosexual if they had the chance and you can see them smile at the thought of revoking homosexuals of their civil rights such as marriage. Your failure to punch Cohen in the face when you think so lowly of homosexuals perhaps reflects the fact that your message of bigotry and hate is no more than empty words and that when the time comes, you will run away into a little corner and cry. Psh. Typical libertarian.
But oh wait, was Ron Paul’s performance even indicative of any kind of bigotry toward homosexuals, or homophobia? Some people would contend that Paul’s reaction is not to be blamed for he was simply only surprised. Well, to be blunt, that’s all a crock of shit. Why would Ron Paul be so offended at Cohen flaunting his character’s homosexuality a little bit? Why would it scare him to the point where he’s noticeably uncomfortable and actually ran out of the room? The answer is clear – because Ron Paul is a bigoted homophobe! He is clearly intolerant of homosexuals and would probably like to see them all hanged, just like in the “old days” he so hearkens back to during his speeches. Anyone who doesn’t see this is willfully blind to reality and probably a bigot themselves.
To be fair, though, this isn’t really any kind of news. This sort of thing has been well known and it’s pretty obvious that libertarians are among the most intolerant political parties in the US today, just after the conservatives, which they’re closely aligned to in any case. But it is an eye opener for this scene does expose Ron Paul for the fraud and bigot that he is.

What is There to Feel Patriotic For?
The 4th of July is today and you know what that means? All the flag waving conservative morons come out today and celebrate their prejudice. Oh? You’re confused? Allow me to explain.
The history of the United States has its roots in discrimination. Even before the Americas were discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492, white racists were busy raiding and capturing slaves in West Africa for plantations back home in Europe or on the Canary Islands. They justified their enslavement of them through the belief that these dark skinned individuals were racially inferior. With the Americas and genocide of the Native Americans underway, this accelerated this slavery of Africans and the practice was quite common by the 1700s when the British colonies in America were thriving.
As such, you can see that it was blacks working on these plantations who made America prosperous and blacks who fueled American industry at all stages of its development. But of course, don’t count on the white racists acknowledging this. Instead, the white racists give these black slaves nothing but their undying hatred and abuse. It wasn’t at all uncommon for the white racists to make an unreasonable demand for the amount of cotton they wanted picked for the day, and then when their slaves fail to meet their impossible demand, a few are chosen at random to be whipped to the brink of death. And of course, you know the white racists smiled and enjoyed themselves as they did this. To the white racist, nothing feels better than the feeling of empowerment by inflicting unimaginable suffering on another individual.
Perhaps their hatred was manifested best through the very document that makes up our nation – the United States constitution. In it, it was decided that blacks counted as only 3/5 a human. The white racists denied blacks of their humanity since the beginning and the fact that such a racist clause was written into our constitution makes it completely null and void in my eyes. The constitution, in short, is a tool of the white racists for the oppression of non-whites and needs to be completely abolished.
It is this sort of thing which makes me continually ashamed to be an American. Being American is not something to be celebrated – rather, it is something to vilify. The United States has done nothing but racist evil throughout its entire history and it is beyond redemption. The only individuals who would be proud of this country are the white racists, who are typically conservative and flag waving morons. Only they can proudly express their happiness for the oppression of non-whites by the lighting of fireworks tonight and chanting America is great. I, on the other hand, will remain inside for tonight and do as I usually do. I shall take no part in this disgusting celebration of prejudice and white supremacy.
