Was Cindy McCain Stoned During The Filming Of NOH8’s PSA?

The NOH8 Campaign is mostly known for providing thousands of people with professional Facebook profile pictures, but now they’ve joined the “It Gets Better”/bullying/DADT repeal movement. Here’s their new PSA, if you haven’t seen it:

 

 

 

 

Well, fine. I’ll do what I can? This ad isn’t for me (or you) though, right? It’s for straight people, who are bullies. Or it’s for people who know bullies or who are parents of bullies. Does the host of “Dancing With The Stars” hold influence over any of them? Let’s hope so.

But this isn’t about the ad’s effectiveness. It’s about Cindy McCain. People loved her so much, on Thursday, when this ad came out! And then, on Friday, Cindy McCain tweeted that she “st[ood] by [her] husband’s stance on DADT,” which made people hate her so much! John Aravosis wrote:

Did she lie today or lie yesterday?  Either way, she’s a liar, and she should be removed from the NOH8 video because, as of right now, Cindy McCain is a hater. Not to mention, great message she just sent to gay youth. If someone pressures you, cave and support hate. I can’t believe I defended this woman over the past 24 hours to people who tweeted me, and messaged me on Facebook, and said she was a fraud. I argued that she had a done a great thing. And now we see the real Cindy McCain: Hateful two-faced homophobic fraud. Her lying homophobic face needs to be yanked from that video immediately.

Yikes.

All that hyperbole, but he’s wrong. Cindy McCain never asked for the repeal of DADT. She only acknowledged its existence, at the :56 mark. You can put it in whatever context you want, I guess, but you can’t call her a liar. Watch again.

Watch Cindy McCain’s eyes, particularly at the 1:11 and 1:13 marks. She’s reading from a cue card, obviously. Did she even know what she was saying? Did she know what the other participants would be saying and how all of their lines would be cobbled together? Furthermore, was she high? She always looks high to me.

Instead of being angry with Cindy McCain, why not be angry with yourself for ever thinking that she mattered? Be angry at yourself for smugly implying that there was some sort of trouble in paradise between Cindy and her anti-DADT repeal “hubbie” John. These people, both of them, are nightmares. Why in the world would you ever put any stock into anything they had to say?

Why would you want someone who says things like this saying things for you?

Finally, why not be angry with the NOH8 Campaign for trying to use someone like this in the first place? This is what happens when you rely upon self-interested B-List celebrities and political spouses with a history of drug addiction to spread your message. Sometimes things backfire! Sorry.

  1. Gene Simmons was in the NOH8 campaign?

    Isn’t “Sit On My Tongue” Simmons the one who told Adam Lambert to “keep his mouth shut” about his sexuality?

  2. I have been out of the loop for a few days and seeing this video my first reaction wasn’t about Cindy McCain but rather WTF….GENE SIMMONS!? The giant turd is a raging homophobe and a proud misogynist. A year ago he was complaining that Adam Lambert didn’t need to be pushing his gayness and how it was going to hurt his career.

    And Chris – their is already a religious right version that tells gay kids that “It Gets Worse” promoting the idea that the isolation they feel is something we gay adults still feel and we just want them to be as miserable as we are- of course they offer a program that helps cure them.

  3. The moment that an organization that does more for getting narcissistic D-List celebrities’ (and Cindy McCain’s) names in the press than actually progressing the cause for gay rights in America attaches itself to the “It Gets Better” bandwagon is the moment that IGB jumped the shark in my book. Pretty soon you’ll seeing Sarah Palin and Fred Phelps doing their own videos that go “It gets better…when you find Jeebus and get reparative therapy.”

  4. well zach a few things if I may. I’m not sure if many, if not all of these celebs were reading off of something. The editing process which gives us the 2:26 video really doesn’t offer us how much of any or all of these words and thoughts were spoken by EACH person. It’s very possible they ALL read from the same script, then it was nicely edited down to include everyone in a short video.

    I think the DWTS host Tom Bergeron does connect with a whole lot of people on a multi-generational level and even if he didn’t, it’s not who you are but what you say and believe and how people listen and receive the message.

    Now to Cindy McCain. She is a repulsive example of how socialites don’t care about people like you, me or most anyone else who isn’t living a privileged life.

    I don’t blame the NOH8 campaign for using her. When a city is burning and people are dying you take any help you can from bordering fire departments to put the fire out. This was just sad however how suddenly the snake turned, to turn love and compassion back into venom.

    If we’re looking for a true hero and leader today – look no further than to Grame Taylor from Ann Arbor Michigan. Here’s his video: http://tiny.cc/bk0yl

      1. Point very well taken, Sir. Had only the NOH8 campaign had your crystal ball. And perhaps they should have.

        In other expected and anticipated Breaking News………

        Cindy McCain to hold a press conference early tomorrow morning on FoxNews to revel her misunderstanding of what the NOH8 campaign was, and is really about.

        Prior to her participation in this NOH8 video – as sources are now suggesting to me – Cindy McCain believed that the NOH8 campaign was actually about hating on privileged socialites who wear animal furs and other skins of precious animal species from the planet to further a fashion statement for the elite.

        This now coincides with Cindy McCain’s sudden turn around on DADT. She’s been wearing the skins of dead American gay soldiers on her back for years now and suddenly she wants to clear the air and divert her actions by distancing herself from that fact all together.

        Cindy McCain: If the dead animals in my cosmetics which I use to make me look young and more attractive don’t turn your stomach – Let me talk about NOH8. I’m probably walking around in a pair of shoes made from the skins of dead American gay soldiers. But their not H8ing on anyone else and they look so Fabulous! – so where’s the actual problem?

        John?

        Developing……….

        1. I’d like to see the footage of her interview because this sounds like you’re making a hyperbolic joke. If you’re being completely serious, I’m going to have to cry. Hard.
