BOYCOTT Kristin Chenoweth--she appears on The 700 Club? — Page 5

"I believe that during the next couple of years there will be a fierce struggle between the militant leftists, secular humanists, and atheists who have dominated the power centers of American culture for the past 50 years and the Evangelical Christians, pro-family Roman Catholics, and their conservative allies. The radical left will lose its hold, and by the end of this decade control of the major institutions of society will be firmly in the hands of those who share a pro-family, religious, traditional value perspective." (Pat Robertson's Perspective, July - August/1991) "...the acceptance of homosexuality is the last step in the decline of Gentile civilization." --Pat Robertson, of the Christian Broadcasting Network, warned that hurricanes could hit Orlando, Fla., because of gay events there. Time magazine, Oct 26, 1998

PAT ROBERTSON CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE!! Yikes that's scary! For the record, I feel this whole thread is discriminating against Christians and labeling us all the same. Can't we all get along??

Midtown,
Why don't you stop being so intolerant of Pat Robertson's views? Why is it OK for you to be intolerant and not him?

OK, they are paying her to come, not her paying them or putting money into them so she can be on the show. If you want to get to a community of people you go to there main source. There aren't many Christian shows out there so she doesn't get much choice. I personally feel as a human being, that a person doesn't have to agree with what a person is doing, but they don't have the room to condemn that person. The 700 club condemned people. They are wrong. But Kristin Chenoweth is looking past that. She is in no way condemning people by going on that show either way. She's not condemning gay people or the 700 club. I think you need to rethink this situation. To you Kristin made a mistake. Right now you are condemning her for it.

Think about that. I'm not saying you are a horrible person for what you are saying about Kristin. I can tell you that I agree, but I can't tell you that you have to change your opinion. But I feel you are telling us to change our opinion about someone.

This thread is absolutely ridiculous.
The hate and prejudice and immaturity on this board is truly depressing.
Rath and Littlefish, your thoughts and articulations are true, honest, and peaceful.
Honestly, people, lets stop the hate and leave Chenoweth alone. She is an amazing person and I think her motives are highly Christian spirited and she has a love for all people. I think the only hate that I can find is some closed minded biggots on the board. Pleas help stop the hate!!!

There is no hate from me. But i'm angry. Big difference. I never said hate, and don't hate her. I'm mad.

HOLY CRAP PEOPLE.....the girl is just pushing a cd..... I am a gay youth myself.....

when i found out she was supose to sing at The "inaguartion celebration" i lost it but i found out i was wrong....she was singing at a Bipartisain party thrown by both Democrats and Republicans.... Let's not cast stones or burn bridges till we know the whole truth....

why would she help at all the charity events if she didn't have an openess to gays....... I think this whole boycott thing is pathetic.....

Attention K-Mart shoppers:

Please throw out all your George Foreman grills. It seems Mr. Foreman's handlers mistakenly booked him for an appearance on The 700 Club and he actually went through with the interview.

Does anyone ever watch the 700 Club? It's the funniest hour of comedy on TV.

I know. I used to get angry with what they said, but a friend of mine told me to just treat them like you would treat a crazy man rambling on the streets. It was a lot more enjoyable after that. I think if you take Pat Robertson seriously, then you're already giving him what he wants.

Well, TRPGuyy, i guess it just depends on which Bible you are reading, doesn't it?

The 700 Club and Pat Robertson are bigots and homophobes promoting a hate-filled non-Christian agenda. And it is an agenda.

My two cents: After a performance of WICKED last May, my friend and i both waited outside the stage door, hoping to meet the pint-sized diva. We did. Kristin bypassed all of the screaming little girls and came up to two gay men, and chatted with us for about fifteen minutes...the nightlife in NYC, the fun to be had, and the entire time she was being nothing but real. This was my first encounter with Kristin. I do not believe she is homophobic in anyway. Perhaps her agent/manager's mistake was booking her on such a program that does align itself with such a strong message of hate and intolerance. And that is where the problem lies. It may be easier for her to sell some records, but the forum for which to do so was poorly chosen.

And it is so easy for so many of you who are not gay and/or a minority of any kind to understand the struggle of self and identity. Many of us are not preaching a message of intolerance in response to the 700 Club OR Ms. Chenoweth's appearance on said program, but rather responding to the line that has been drawn by such religious right wingers like Pat Robertson who abuse the name of Jesus Christ to give their argument and position weight and levity in a non-secular setting. The message of Christ that I have always heard is one of tolerance and acceptance, not shame and hate.

And for many of you who pose the question, "can't we all just get along," simply placates those of us who have been pushed on the outside for far too long.

DBillyP-As previously stated, i won't be buying her CD, and never would've. But when she opens her cabaret act at Joe's Pub, i won't be there and will ask friends to stay away. Let's see how many of her 700 Club fans from middle america make the schlep to the Village.

You're right Al Dente. I'm sorry. You just want her career and therefore her means of making a living to die. You want her alive so she can suffer through it.
