Lady Gaga achieves Madonna-hood: Conservatives want “Telephone” video banned, illegal [video]

”This time we have to speculate whether she has a male member or not. And whether it’s been cut off or not…. And then we’ve got Beyonce and Gaga — gay, lesbian lovers! I mean, it’s disgusting Megan…. This is just poison for the minds of our kids. And for our minds for that matter…. Our world if filled with sexual predators…. Something like 85% of [sexual predators] are involved in some sort of porn. So, you may not watch it. Your kids may not watch it. But I’m telling you, the man next door who’s a sexual predator probably does watch it, and it has an effect on all of us. This should be outlawed. It should be banned. There is a limit to what we should tolerate.”

Sandy Rios, President of something called the Culture Campaign, speaking to Fox News about pop star Lady Gaga‘s new music video. The Culture Campaign’s website says it “exists to help reenlist believers into the culture war one believer at a time.” Basically, another bunch of religious social conservatives who want to tell America what they can and cannot watch — a child of so many similar groups from the 1980s-90s whose leaders have aged into their rightfully irrelevant status. Though her site primarily mentions abortion, there’s a link to a blog of the same name which is obsessed with “homosexualist” activities. (Fox News via Young Turks)
