On Tuesday the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony on SB 6417, “Prohibiting sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal.”
Yeah, I know… it’s not really all that much of a news story, but hell, why should the Seattle Times get all the traffic from people lasciviously Googling “bestiality,” “perforated colon,” and “sex with horses”…?
Anyway… nobody ever accused the GOP of being soft on mule-shtupping (so to speak,) and so it comes as no surprise that this bill was introduced by longtime animal welfare champion, Sen. Pam Roach, who told the AP:
“If these animals don’t have the cognitive ability to consent, and that’s the case, then we have to be protecting them,” Roach said.
“That’s one of the reasons we protect children; and while this is lower, it will still protect innocence from sex predators.”
Yeah. Sure. Though one could argue that if they don’t have the cognitive ability to consent (and it should be noted that it was the man, not the stallion who ended up with a perforated colon,) then animals really don’t have the cognitive ability to have a sense of innocence either. I do find it somewhat curious that it would violate the innocence of an animal to have sex with it, but apparently not to murder and eat it.
Whatever. Like most people, I’m all for protecting animals from cruelty, be it hunting bears and cougars with bait and dogs, or forced anal intercourse with perverted morons. I suppose that’s why Roach’s bill received such broad bipartisan support.
The quest for animal protection has made for curious partnerships — it’s bringing together Roach, a rural conservative, and animal rights groups around the state.
The Washington Farm Bureau, Washington State Grange and state veterinarians also have backed the bill. Nobody testified against it Tuesday.
Though man… I would have loved to hear the con testimony.
The bill is likely to sail through both houses with no opposition. But if it doesn’t, we can only imagine what kind of postcards the GOP might mail out this time.
Somewhere, the HA trolls are crying, as their dreams of goat-fucking fade away.
If barn yard animal sex is illegal, Don, Mr. X, and Bill could be jailed for life! [But could they still vote Democrat?]
How many of the fruits at “Drinking Liberally” prefer goats, cows, and sheep to say, actually getting a gal to go on a date? Half? Most? ALL?
W, Could you explain how AIDS from African monkeys got passed to Democrat fruits and queers in San Francisco? Was George Bush responsible?
Why don’t you tell us, JCH? You really came off as a beacon of humanity the last time you brought this one up …
JCH…
Do you like goats too, or do you sticking to fucking 12 year old Japanese tourists?
Beltowner, Does Goldy get you the “anal Tookie Williams love” than you so enjoy? Do you feel “warm and fulfilled” watching “Bareback Mounting” for the 5th time? [No wonder Ann Coulter thinks liberal Democrat men are pussies!]
Is it any surprise that conservatives are the biggest producers and consumers of pornography?
I think it’s great that Pam Roach is protecting the farm animals of this state from the residents of Fremont….
Goldy doesn’t. Tim Eyman does!
Where’s Tim Eyman with his initiative to “let the people decide?”
Goldy, PLEASE get rid of JCH. PLEASE! We don’t need this asshole mucking up the HA comment threads. The pixels JCH creates are worthless. His comments are off topic, derogatory, and unneeded. Please ban JCH.
@ 11
To decide what? Whether he’s gay or not?
Is Sen. Roach’s bill trying to accomplish what the President was talking about in the SOTU, about banning creation of human-animal hybrids?
So if you scratch your cat on the spine just above the tail and the get gets into it, will this be a crime?
MOH, This thread is about “animal sex”. My posts are germaine and “on subject”. But yours……?
how many miles per gallon can you get with a human-animal hybrid? More than a Prius?
JCH:
A Penn State educated dunce; barnyard is one word. Look it up sometime between your bukkakes.
Turns out the guy from Freemont was a registered Republican!!
Nice! Way to go you morons.
Ann Coulter is a transvestite. She/he was born Andy Coulter. Sean Hannity had an affair with him/her.
GBS, You are correct. I would expect you to use the “bardyard” word often with your wife as well as in your family environment.
Goldy,
Please, please do NOT ban JCH from HA blog. It’s fun to watch the morons on the right flame out and die like:

Soon, we’ll add JCH to the list of the Republicans who couldn’t hack the truth any longer and got tired of being punched in their beaks every time a Republican is investigated, indicted or convicted of crimes or destroys our civil liberties.
Sorry, MOH, I know how much you’d like to see JCH gone, but his presence, believe it or not, serves our purposes. There is a difference between being “right” and being accurate. We’re accurate, JCH is, well, not accurate.
JCH @ 21
You’re the Penn State educated man, did you honestly think I wouldn’t catch your mistake at 21??
Baaa haaa haaaa haaa. Man, you sure wasted your money getting an education at Penn State.
Baaaaa haaaa haaaa. You have a tough time with spelling and grammar don’t you?
Baaaa haaaa haaaa.
Were you actually the fastest and best swimmer out of the millions of sperm cells your daddy shot?
How shallow is your family’s gene pool??
Or, are you some “human-animal hybrid?”

What’s a “bardyard?”
Never heard of that word before and I couldn’t find it in my MSN dictionary.
Can you please define the word.
Thanks.

HOW TO BE A GOOD REPUBLICAN
1. You have to believe that the nation’s 8-year prosperity inherited by Bush was due to the work of Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr., but yesterday’s gasoline prices are still Clinton’s fault.
2. You have to believe that those privileged from birth achieve success all on their own.
3. You have to be against all government programs, but expect Social Security checks on time.
4. You have to believe that AIDS victims deserve their disease, but smokers with lung cancer and overweight individuals with heart disease don’t deserve theirs.
5. You have to appreciate the power rush that comes with sporting a gun.
6. You have to believe everything Rush Limbaugh says.
7. You have to believe that the agricultural, restaurant, housing and hotel industries can survive without immigrant labor.
8. You have to believe God hates homosexuality, but loves the death penalty.
9. You have to believe society is color-blind and growing up black in America doesn’t diminish your opportunities, but you still won’t vote for Alan Keyes.
10. You have to believe that pollution is OK as long as it makes a profit.
11. You have to believe in prayer in schools, as long as you don’t pray to Allah or Buddha.
12. You have to believe Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde were really faithful husbands.
13. You have to believe speaking a few Spanish phrases makes you instantly popular in the barrio.
14. You have to believe that only your own teenagers are still virgins.
15. You have to be against government interference in business, until your oil company, corporation or Savings and Loan is about to go broke and you beg for a government bail out.
16. You love Jesus and Jesus loves you and, by the way, Jesus shares your hatred for AIDS victims, homosexuals, and President Clinton.
17. You have to believe government has nothing to do with providing police protection, national defense, and building roads.
18. You have to believe a poor, minority student with a disciplinary history and failing grades will be admitted into an elite private school with a $1,000 voucher.
JCH:
Barn yard. What a fucking dolt. You embarrass anyone who attended Penn State and Naval officers every where.
It’s not as if you misspelled it once. You did it over and over and over again.
Do compound words perplex you?
Baaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaa. Hey, isn’t it time for you to get saltwater in your eyes again? Speaking of saltwater, that’s another compound word you misspelled when you said you just got back from your swim and still had salt water in your eyes.
Tell us honestly, how does someone with a college degree have so much trouble with spelling?
JCH are you really Mr. Cynical still living in your mother’s basement, but just using a new pen name.
Hey, how you doin’ Ms Chickenhawk?
You loser.
Roach was named Roach because she has the intelligence of a roach. Truth in naming.

Do you have some facts to back this up?

who seem to be very overlly concerned about the sex lives of Democrats/liberals, please let us know your thoughts on all the Republicans listed on this web page who have been convicted of having sex with children. http://www.armchairsubversive.com/

I’ll have to dig the study up tonight … it’s fascinating reading.
Someone may want to get JCH some handy-wipes to clean his keyboard off once he’s through with it.

Quite frankly, you’re such an idiot, you’re a target rich environment.
Amazed @ 29:
Nice link, I was trying to think of Neal Horsley earlier. I heard his interview on the radio before. I’ve never lived on a farm, but according to him, animal sex is a certainty if you grow up on a farm.
Know what else?
95% of the farms in this country are in RED states. Seems to me that if you’re a farmer the odds are you’re a Republican. And if you’re a Republican farmer, according to Neal Horsley, you’re an animal fucker, too.
JCH, have you ever done any farming?
No?
You still fuck animals.
Baaa Baaa who’s your daaa-ddy? Whoooo ooo’s you’re daaaa-ddy? Is that how you talk to the animals?
33. I think 95% of black looting Democrats live in blue states, or at least in blue cities. GBS, where do you live? Did you pay for your 52 inch Sony plasma, or did you steal from Best Buy in New Orleans?
JC “I can’t spell” H:
Stay on topic!!
The topic isn’t about looters, it’s about animal sex. My post at 33 is relevant. Yours is not.
95% of farming Republicans fuck farm animals. Period
JCH:
I love the fact you didn’t deny you fuck animals. Now we know: JCH FUCKS ANIMALS.
Nice family values you guys have.
Whooo-oooo’s yer daaaa-ddy?
LT, huh? So what’s the LT really stand for? Latrine?
Baaa haaa haaaa.
You’re such a dumbass I’m sure that’s all you could be in charge of. Officer of the Potty.
Good God, man, have you no dignity?
-W, Could you explain how AIDS from African monkeys got passed to Democrat fruits and queers in San Francisco? Was George Bush responsible? –
I, for one, am happy to have JCH here to carry to torch for the racist and homophobic Republican party. He says what most conservatives are afraid to let out of their twisted little minds.
And as for Roach’s bill: the right wingers said that the anti-discrimination bill was not needed, since only a few instances of discrimination had been identified. Yet Pam Roach – Queen of the GOP Talibangelist wing – is running this bill because of a single incident in a state of 6 million people.
Statistics have shown that nearly a quarter of all young boys in rural areas have their first sexual experience with an animal. I fully expect this legislation to put a stop to that!
@ 37 and I thought it stood for ‘loose tookie’ as that is where his goats do his biding.

I, for one, am happy to have JCH here to carry to torch for the racist and homophobic Republican party. He says what most conservatives are afraid to let out of their twisted little minds.
So you must be real happy about Joel Stein’s article a few days past. Do you adhere to Joel’s mindset? He has a liberal view that is worth due consideration since it was published by the LA Times…
And before you make a fatal mistake by going there, I have always been a JCH detractor…
Just when Goldy was about to mount the Rabbit from behind

@ 41 you made another mistake mark, isn’t your handle ‘lower class mark’?
lower case mark,
Uhh, hmmm…what the hell? I admit, I have not been paying attention of late, but your post seems incongruous to any topic in this thread…
Hey Rujax – Tell me more about #2. Tell me what fucking “privileges” I have? Make a list.
GBS,
JCH cannot help spelling it “bardyard”.
He has a cold—and is still “hooked on phonics.”
Hey MtR-My FAVORITE asshole!!!!
Weeeeeelllllll,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Let’s see. Privleged from birth.
It’s like what Molly Ivins said about Chimpy…
“Born on third base and thought he hit a triple.”
So in other words, you can’t make a list. You’re full of shit. As usual. Full of moveon talking points, but short on specifics.
Bullshit. You made the statement. Back it up. Asshole. Back it up. Make a list.
Asshole…
38, Statistics have shown that nearly a quarter of all young boys in rural areas have their first sexual experience with an animal. I fully expect this legislation to put a stop to that! [Liberal Redneck]……………..Although 25% in rural areas, closer to 100% in San Francisco, Detroit, and Harare, Zimbabwe. All, yes, George Bush is responsible!! [hehe]
37, 38, GBS, Mrs. GBS and you have animal “issues” that should not be addressed here. May I suggest 8 inches of “dead Tookie Williams love” for Mrs. GBS? She will finally be satisfied, and dead Tookie will always be rock hard. Quite a change for Mrs. GBS, and you can watch her pleasure!
Great comment as usual Mr L(oose)T(ookie)B>H
FROM A RURAL COUSIN – told at family gatherings after many drinks. Years ago, not recently, and no I will not testify.
Calves, espeically when about 4 weeks are really aggressive suckers. Love fingers, bottles with large ruber nipples. etc.
Well cousin Mark said — this — when he was 14, he thought he might try something. Making sure there was privacy, he dropped his pants to see what the calf might do. And indeed the calf went right for it – his dick – with
gusto.
Cousin Mark for a moment though he had found his true love – so to speak. But within 10 seconds he was hit with searing pain – indeed penis survial was the only issue. He rescued himself with great effort as the calf like being the sucker – bruised and chewed and bleeding.
Calves have no teeth, but a very strong grip and very rough and prickly strong tongues. Mark tells the funny story better than I.
Will this now be illegal, even when the calf wins?
By the way farm animal bestiality is rural — large dogs and urban horny women – not my sisters.. Will ask cousin Mark about that. Just occured to me, all the old jokes you hear.
Goldy, any testimony about male dogs and horny women in Bellevue and Kirkland condos? Pam can get the Eastside cop shop to patrol.
The calf story is true and funny when you are drunk and there are sound effects.
Goldy,
Damn, you do still have a filter…
Goldy, any testimony about male dogs and horny women in Bellevue and Kirkland condos? Pam can get the Eastside cop shop to patrol. [Bob, great story. I’m sure many dike Democrat women enjoy getting “pleasure” from their German “Short Hair” [get it?] Pointers. BTW, This story reminds me of Democrat “Headless Lucy”.
Marks – Here’s how to get through the filter.
Shit, piss, cock, cunt, motherfucker, screw, tits. You can call Goldy a cocksucking hymie if you want. Or call him a kike. Hell, you can even say nigger. But DO NOT say “grouchoandharpoist”… that is bad…
Marks -And also throw in the words “nazi” and “fascist”. Works every time…
MTR –
Sorry, still laughing :)
off topic but with the current missadministration anything is possible:
At New York’s Kennedy airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, the attorney general said he believes the man is a
member of the notorious “Al-Gebra” movement.
He is being charged by the FBI with
carrying weapons of “Math Instruction”.
“Al-Gebra” is a fearsome cult,” a Justice Department spokesman said. “They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.
As the Greek “Philanderer Isosceles ” used to say, ‘there are 3 sides to every triangle’.”
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes”…!!

you mean playing ‘with yourself’ after all that is what wingnuts do best.
off topic but… speaking of the RepubliCONS, appropriate that they call, whine, stammer and ‘beg’ for someone to help them with THEIR corruption problems and K Street. Then when presented with a real alternative to the current corruption crowd the do not choose Shadegg but stick with a wingnut that has his nose so far up big business ass’s that he cannot breath. Tobacco, Student Loans, etc, etc. Nice Job CONS
You got to love RUFUS. In post 65 he admits that the ‘horse’ in Enumclaw already hit his g-spot. How did it feel RUFUS? Or were you too loose for the horse to have any fun? Wingnuts, everyone should own one just for the commedy of their errors.
The only Gspot rujaX ever hit was with that horse. It makes sense doesnt it. I mean liberal, Seattle, ass fucking all add up to liberal fun.
lol, and it was a Republican that got his colon ‘tore’. Was that you RUFUS?
I guess the bigger question would be if your inlaws paid for the surgery or if you mooched off of the state?
Hey RUFUS, rumor has it that your favorite TV star (or his estate) Mr. ED has plenty of money to help people with your infliction. (even if they are by choice)

FROM THE SEATTLE TIMES – TODAY – RIGHT ON, THREE CHEERS ( Written by a Blethen, the Family which owns same)
The generational disconnect on homosexual rights
Leaders of the fight against civil rights need to give up their crusade. Their notions of sin and sexuality belong in another era, to decades past when women could not vote, black people drank from designated fountains and gays and lesbians were beaten into false lives.
This generational disconnect was on full display the past couple of weeks as gray-haired legislators and salt-and-pepper-bearded pastors tried to deny a law that granted gays and lesbians the rights heterosexuals and minorities have long enjoyed.
It was significant that the civil-rights law passed largely because of a Gen-X Republican’s vote. Sen. Bill Finkbeiner, R-Kirkland, was quoted from the Senate floor in The Seattle Times as saying, “We don’t choose who we love. The heart chooses who we love. I don’t believe it’s right for us to say … it’s acceptable to discriminate against people because of that. I cannot stand with that argument.”
The future of civil rights lies with Finkbeiner and other Gen-X and -Y politicians not yet elected. It will be important for this cohort to be active between now and November. That is when a misguided Tim Eyman referendum or initiative to undo what was done in Olympia could be on the ballot. No doubt the Eyman campaign will be loudly backed by the familiar faces of opposition, who will trot out the same tired reasons, too numerous and faulty to list here, to gain signatures.
One of the reasons used to try to tank any civil rights aimed at gays and lesbians is the claim that those rights will lead to same-sex marriage. On this point, the opposition is correct. Thank goodness. (Before moving on, let’s drop the labels. The weddings I attend this summer will not be called “heterosexual” weddings and the people involved will not be in “hetero-marriages.” So let’s not label marriage as gay. Call it what it is: marriage).
Now that gays and lesbians have legal safeguards that grant them the same rights as the rest of us, it only makes sense that our state give all its adult citizens the right to marry. To not address this inequity would be wrong and perpetuate dated discrimination. Adding momentum to the debate is an expected ruling by the state Supreme Court on marriage.
What the defenders of virtue do not understand is the role marriage has played in the lives of younger generations. The “sanctity of marriage” has become a meaningless slogan when used to perpetuate morals in an age of divorce. We either grew up in a divorced family or had numerous friends whose parents’ marriage habits were like those of dating, middle-school kids. Gays and lesbians certainly could do no worse.
Is the institution of marriage really going to suffer if gays and lesbians are allowed to make the decision to marry? Not a chance. Religious institutions, including the Roman Catholic Church, would not have to condone state-sanctioned marriage.
Not much has changed in heavily Catholic Massachusetts, where marriage was made legal for all by that state’s Supreme Court in 2003. According to the National Vital Statistics Reports put out by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, between the months of January and May in Massachusetts there were 6,753 divorces in 2003, 5,984 in 2004 and 5,137 in 2005. Marriages increased by about 1,000 during the same three years.
So what exactly is the threat? Seems to me the real threat to family is teaching intolerance. We are in an era of unrivaled global interaction that begs for understanding. If American children are taught that their friends and neighbors are a threat to the fiber of family, they cannot be expected to make the leap of comprehension needed to be a world citizen.
The disconnect is not excusable. What the gray-beards must realize is that my generation sees co-workers and friends in same-sex relationships. We watch sitcoms and movies with gay characters. We read novels where lesbians grace the pages. I was shocked by my first compact disc, not my first gay bar.
The elders need only to flip the issue and consider the future, a future of equality beyond them, but in the grasp of their children.
Ryan Blethen’s column appears regularly on editorial pages of The Times. His e-mail address is rblethen@seattletimes.com
“why should the Seattle Times get all the traffic from people lasciviously Googling ‘bestiality,’ ‘perforated colon,’ and ‘sex with horses’…?”
Hey Goldy, I thought what that wingnut got from fucking the horse was a perforated head, not a perforated colon? As in, getting kissed by a horseshoe??
So that is that funny scar across RUFUS’ face. I always wondered where he got it. Way to go MR. Ed.
JCH @ 48:
They keep farm animals in downtown Detroit and downtown SanFran? Keep flailing, pal.
-“Is it any surprise that conservatives are the biggest producers and consumers of pornography?” Do you have some facts to back this up? –
I recall an obscenity case in Salt Lake City, where a mini mart owner was arrested for selling a girly magazine to an undercover cop.
His defense lawyer basically subpoenaed all the sex channel subscription records from this conservative city, and illustrated that Salt Lake had a pretty healthy addiction to porn.
