Rick Perry Compares Gays In Military To Celebrating Christmas. I'm now going to compare divorce to children trick-or-treating...
Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry has caused quite the stir in recent days due to a new ad of his. In this add, Perry says the following: "I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Christian, but you don’t need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school." http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/12/09/rick-perrys-strong-campaign-ad-gets-the-web-angry-and-laughing/ A classic satire of the ad was displayed on "The Colbert Report" a couple days ago. That can be seen here - http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/403958/december-08-2011/rick-perry-s-pro-christmas-ad This ad made me a bit speechless. It was reminiscent of the Herman Cain smoking ad, where I couldn't tell if the ad was legitimate or a parody. Honestly, since the ads were indeed genuine, comics didn't have to parody them...
