Normally I wouldn't give a fuck about this, but the person on the left of the photo is Holly Fisher:

Family Values Shocker: pro-life, gun loving Tea Partier Holly Fisher admits cheating on husband

So much for family values. Remember Holly Fisher, the tea party star who found internet fame after several of her photos went viral?



There was the photo of her posed, gun in one hand, Bible in the other, in front of a flag (because "Who would Jesus Kill?&quot -- the photo that gained even more fame after it was juxtaposed beside an image of terrorist Sherafiyah Lewthwaite, in a strikingly similar pose. There was the photo of her at Hobby Lobby, wearing a "pro-life" t-shirt, to celebrate the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS ruling that allows companies to limit women's reproductive care options. And a slew of others to go along.

Eventually, this internet fame translated into real fame, and Holly's star seemed to be rising within conservative circles. And then the rumors started that this family values, god-and-guns-Merica-loving icon had actually been cheating on her military vet husband. With, of all people, another member of the patriotic, family-values crowd: Joel Frewa of Tea Party News Network.

Now, Frewa has stepped down from his post in TPNN, and Holly has issued a public statement on her Facebook page that details what she describes as "a loss of faith", leading to the affair.

1. Get thee to the greatest page

Just because

2. She had a "loss of faith".....so anyone without faith is doomed to infidelity? Very confusing.

Where did she lose it? Can she find it again? I am very concerned for her missing, lost faith.

Oh well, a couple of Hail Mary's and that faith will leap right back in there faster than you can leap into bed with someone not your husband.

All is Forgiven.

16. These folks use everything including religion

Two bit hypocrites would be a kind description.

3. Did she use birth control?

Or maybe she should be stoned, as the book in her hands says. How does it feel now Holly?

[Blue_Tires]

23. She probably told Frewa to PIITB

[ellie]

30. That is what I was going to ask

[Autumn]

5. Loss of faith? I love how their hornieness and lack of morals translate to "I lost my faith".

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. It's God's will that she got horny.

God, in his infinite wisdom, arranged a date with her with a similarly horny Tea Bagger who had lost faith. He had them screw so they could regain their faith.

It's all very simple if you look at in a Biblical way.

18. And now they return to the only thing that matters to these scumbags

Let us PREY on the gullible and enrich ourselves.

28. Now see, that makes sense.

27. Cause the evil Liburuls make it so hard for her to be a good Christian woman

[petronius]

6. Well, I'm sure this experience will leave her wiser and more thoughtful, with a deeper compassion

and understanding, less judgmental, and newly-aware that the real world is far more difficult and complicated than the simplistic nonsense spewed on RW radio and the tea-bagger internet...

9. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person!!!

I'm sure her congregants will forgive her weakness.


(yes, sarcasm)

10. I feel horrible when I'm gleeful over the stumbles of these hypocrites.

And if you believe that, I've got a crater I'll sell you in Arizona. I'm so sick of them always chortling about their Family Values and having their Values Summits and rating political candidates according to their Values Scorecard. And their definition of 'values' never seem to include helping the poor, justice, equality, promoting peace and a good environment. It all seems to center on their interpretation of sexuality.

11. Too bad god didn't make the union fruitful...

Getting pregnant by her lover would just have been the icing on the cake.

20. The heart will go where it, uh... Will go..

Sheesh, who am I foolin'?

Of course, she did!

[47of74]

21. And of course since it didn't involve bathroom stalls or the like...

...Holly and Frewa will just have to make the correct noises and all will be forgiven by their teabag friends.

22. I don't see the issue, frankly. From the DKOS article:

Now, to be fair, I don't care who Fisher sleeps with; it's her business. The only person who really has a right to be pissed at her is her husband, and he is standing by her. But the hypocrisy is pretty colossal, coming from a woman who has been so very vocal in trying to push her brand of morality, who has crowed loudly over the loss of women's rights because she sees those rights as contrary to her beliefs...and yet who acts in a fashion that is completely at odds with that moral code that she wants to foist on the rest of us.


Well, clearly the DKOS author does care, because they wrote the article. If her husband is standing by her, whose business is this, exactly?

Oh, wait, I'm about to be told that she's a hypocrite. Well, that's not exactly clear, first of all, and if it's true, does that mean that hypocrisy should be met with hypocrisy? I thought we learned from all Dem affairs that what happens between men and women is private.
