So, you object to a statue of Jesus on the wall, but you are OK with using sex to publicize your interview. In the least, you could have sent the news of your interview without the cover photo. But, you didn’t see the problem.
DO NOT REPLY: this is not a discussion, or a debate, or a forum. I am disgusted beyond speaking, and only hope that you are inundated with “unsubscribe” and angry responses from former supporters, which—after this—includes me.
I am grieving that you would compromise the integrity I thought you had in such a callous manner. Surely you have no idea. Whatever good you believe you have done in the past, just unravelled. So, so unnecessary.
Only Mikey would be proud to have an article in Hustler.
As a woman and a mother of two daughters, I fully support Mikey’s decision to do this interview. I understand why Hustler may not be a platform everyone agrees with, but advocacy was never about only speaking in spaces where people already agree with you and it’s comfortable. It’s about reaching the people who need to hear the message.
Sometimes meaningful advocacy requires taking the message into unconventional spaces, and I support Mikey and MRFF for being willing to do so.
Well, imagine my surprise today when the latest post is one from Hustler! OK – way to go to your audience Mikey. Huzzah. I totally support you in getting your most important message to the service critters who need it the most.
Carol – Carol, Carol, Carol. I’d give you a comforting hug but I suspect you’d respond like my cat does when his gruntled is totally dissed.
Look, I know you have your pearls in a clutch but this is war in which WeThePeople are fighting for our very existence. You know that correct? I get you are offended and I even understand why you are offended but you need to take a minute to breathe. Do not reply you state with your full chest. Well, I’m not Mikey, I’m Grey One and I find your lack of grace to be problematic.
See it sounds like you only support Mikey when he says things the way YOU want him to say them, or am I misunderstanding your dismay. Again, we are in an all out war against theocrats and fascists who are doing their dead level best to destroy our country (and if you’ve been keeping track via the Project 2025 handy read along script they just punched down via Chapter 13 – food insecurity) and your hard line in the sand is an article in a sexy magazine? I’m confident you’ve lost the plot, just saying.
I can’t tell you what to do. You’re an adult but if you fluff off in a snit you are admitting to all and sundry that you weren’t really in this to win this.
Ah, Old fart (refuse to call you soldier until I read your full and hearty apology to Board Member John Compere. You know what you said. You know what you need to do. Too bad you lack the courage and fortitude to admit you are incorrect.
As for your statement “Only Mikey would be proud to have an article in Hustler.”
I will NEVER tire of proving you wrong old fart.
I guess “Paul McCartney • Oliver Stone • Kathy Griffin • Nikki Glaser • James Cromwell • Gilbert Gottfried • William Shatner • Dave Attell • Danny Trejo • Steven Seagal • Woody Harrelson • Edward Norton • Eddie Van Halen • Vincent Bugliosi • Ice Cube • John Cusack • Noam Chomsky • Rodney Dangerfield • G. Gordon Liddy • Merle Haggard • Dennis Hopper • John Carpenter & Sandy King Carpenter • Margaret Cho • Chuck Palahniuk • Kevin Smith • Dave Chappelle” are humans of no consequence?
Oh, yeah, lets go to the Social Justice / Religious / Political Figure Interviews:
Lev Parnas • Ben Wizner (ACLU) • Paul Krassner • Avi Loeb
Lucien Greaves • Bob Baer • Dick Gregory • David Cole • Richard Wolffe
Huh, looks like there are a few more folks who saw an avenue to reach a population they’ve not previously touched and thought the Hustler venue was an appropriate path.
Do better both of you. We are at war. Look sharp because right now you remind me more of sad sacks than warriors for the Constitution.
Tatyana, Hello. I’m Grey One, haven’t read you on the pages before. I didn’t mention you in my comment above because I prefer to separate my spankings from my conversations and comments of support.
What you said! 100% – no notes.
I am reminded of a lesson I learned when I was a young thing going through Confirmation at my families church.
We were talking about money and some politician took a campaign contribution from Playboy. Scandal!!! It certainly got us young teenagers into a frenzy but the pastor told us – it’s just money. The models in the magazines are all of consenting age, they all get paid. And how is money from sex any better or worse than money from a cigarette manufacturer or oil baron?
I learned a lot that year – about consent and intent. OK, learned more than perhaps either the pastor or my parents intended as that was the class which launched my search straight into paganism, but that is another story for another time.
I hope you stick around. I suspect your perspective will be a welcome addition to our regulars.
Carol – had to come back because this statement is sticking in places that are very uncomfortable:
“So, you object to a statue of Jesus on the wall….”
Tell me you know NOTHING about Mikey and the MRFF or the Constitution without saying the words.
It’s not “Jesus”, it’s “where” it’s displayed and if you don’t know that by now… How are you a follower all this time and missed this lesson?
For the record, even though you put a line down it is ok if you change your stance. I don’t expect you to ever accept anything sex related but I do hope you will apologize to Mikey. He’s on the front lines every minute of every day and in my opinion you just pooped all over his efforts to protect not only the Constitution but the service critters who took an oath to do the same.
Shame on you Carol. Again, the theocrats have decimated our sacred spaces, they’ve ignored our carefully balanced rules of law. Do you think they will stop? Ever?
Joel Webbon said on a podcast that women like me (well, I can’t color my hair but I do have the cat) who fall on hard times and fall through the governmental safety net won’t be fed by the church, in fact he said people like me need to starve.
People like me should starve. Is that what you think of me too Carol?
As the poem goes, who will stand up for you when folks like me are gone?
Just a thought.
wow, what an honor to be in such a highly regarded and sophisticated publication.😅🤦♂️. MRFF endorses objectifying women. Got it,!
Grey One youve never proven anyone wrong in you entire career of Earthing. Delulu land
Ah, the trolls. I’ve missed your special sauce of ignorance and rudeness.
And there it is “objectifying women”. Really? That’s what you are going with? Because I’m fairly certain that men are going to ogle women all over the place without their permission (Epstein files anyone?) At Hustler the women get paid. If they have the body and can make money by showing it off why shouldn’t they take that opportunity?
I notice you’ve said nothing about Kegseth’s firing and removing from the history as many women as he can. Stars and Stripes? Nope – all the higher ups who are women are gone. Women at the top? Gone.
Talk about “objectifying” women. But hey, a sexy magazine is the line too far for you. Because they get paid. Gotta drive you misogynists crazy
As always, I’m in awe of Mikey and MRFF’s dedication to protecting service members and their freedom of religion. There are no limits to how far Mikey and his team will go to reach the largest audience in order to have this vital message heard.
This definitely takes the cake for shock factor. Congrats and thanks for all you do!
T Moran,
As I understand the mindset of those who take the oath of office, there is no expiration date to their oath.
My late husband, the old Marine, taught me this lesson by his example. He showed me how the Constitution and Bill of Rights are our sacred documents. Are they perfect? Of course not but the ideals they embody urge all of us to do better, to be better not just for those we know but the stranger on the street who has to have the same rights as ourselves or it all means nothing.
I never took that oath – I’m a hippy and as our trolls have already claimed, de-lulu. Well, I didn’t take that oath officially but after watching my true love try to re-enlist after 9/11 even with stage four cancer… That level of dedication inspired me to make my own oath to defend the Constitution from those who believe all humans are created equal but some are more equal than others.
That’s my story though. I’m sure other commentators have their own reasons for battling our local trolls.
The article in Hustler will inform people about the theocrats in the military who wouldn’t otherwise hear about them and the problems they’re causing. That’s what the trolls are really upset about.
My question about this issue is: who contacted whom? I suspect that someone from Hustler contacted MRFF about the controversy over the “. . . tie you to a tree” remark. If that’s the case, I think it only right that Mikey responded to the request for an interview. The fact that the forum for the interview was Hustler magazine was, I admit, a bit surprising — I didn’t even know that Hustler was still a thing! Nonetheless, I think it wholly appropriate to conduct the interview — even if one doesn’t necessarily agree with the particular medium.
If the interview was initiated by MRFF, things might be different. But I think it would still be worth the effort, as long as it reaches and motivates people to action — particularly those inclined to support MRFF’s mission!
Wow! Look at the tits on that one!
