Rick Perry is described as blessed with
“special a-hole privileges” for hating on gays in new video
spoof.
Perry's campaign on Tuesday released
a decidedly anti-gay ad titled Strong in Iowa. In the ad,
Perry linked faith to anti-gay sentiment.
In the 50-second parody of the ad by
Andy Cobb of The Partisans on The Second City Network, Cobb pokes fun
at Perry's abrupt and hard shift to the right.
“I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm an
atheist,” Cobb says as he walks in a forest. “But you know
there's something wrong with this country when politicians think it's
okay to hate on gays and non-believers in ads.”
“As if their magic spirit guide, or
whatever, blessed them with special a-hole privileges.”
“Perhaps this is a good time to
remember that gay and atheist presidents didn't get us into the war
in Iraq, the financial crisis, or turn your mortgage into toilet
paper. It took some God-fearing, vagina penetrators to pull that
off.” (The video is embedded in the right panel of this page.

In introducing the ad on YouTube, Cobb
wrote: “Honestly, if kids 'observed' Christmas any harder in
schools than they already do, they would be elves. And liberals
don't hate religion, we're just too busy drum circling, same-sex
marrying, and not owning guns to bother.”
