Anderson Cooper Mocks Cindy Jacobs, 'Prophet' Who Blamed Bird Deaths On DADT Repeal

Anderson Cooper was clearly unimpressed with Cindy Jacobs, the woman who has gained attention in recent days for her declaration that the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" law is the cause of the death of thousands of birds in Arkansas, because he mocked her in his nightly "RidicuList" segment on Tuesday.

After summarizing Jacobs' views, Cooper said, "Not following the logic there? Maybe that's because, unlike Cindy Jacobs, you're not a self-proclaimed, quote, unquote, 'respected prophet.'"

He then played a video of Jacobs, who said that the bird deaths "could be because we have said it's okay for people who commit these kinds of acts to be recognized in our military for the first time in our history."

Cooper also mocked Jacobs' assertion that "nature itself will begin to talk to us" when God is unhappy with current events.

"When nature does begin to talk to us, let's hope it's more like from the movie 'Babe,'" Cooper said. He then played a clip from the movie.

Personally, I think a purple, faux jaguar-skin jacket is against God's principles.

I love AC- he has a very low BS quotient, and a very solid intellect. It's a charming combination. Also, he's funny. I'm glad we have someone we can count on to call out the liars- esp now that KO is gone from MSNBC, we need that.

Maybe nature has just had it with the moronic human race, and if they can't take our destruction of their world, then they just don't want to be a part of it. Hey, it makes more sense than this phony's ramblings.

And was was with the leopard skin coat or the bad wig? You think THOSE aren't an affront to God? Maybe it's people like HER that's killing the birds. And the fish.

I can't explain what is happening, but it's about time we took the whole climate change seriously, dontcha think?

OK, I'm gonna try one more time to say this and have it posted:

Cindy Jacobs is a narcissist of the worst kind.
Her comment on DADT is simply idiotic. Self proclaimed prophets are really in the preaching game for profits.
Now post this HP.

Seeing people like *this* Cindy Jacobs (not to malign the reputations of probably many thousands of other women who are also named 'Cindy Jacobs') makes me fearful for the survival of our species. The demise of human intellect seems to be an imminent threat...

I hadn't heard this insane declaration. Why isn't this woman in a padded room somewhere?

Everyone knows that we gay people are FAR to busy molesting children, creating hurricanes and destroying the sanctity of marriage to be involved in the random killing of birds. I mean ....creating earthquakes and events like 9/11 can be very time consuming. Not to mention the fact that we have to fit in having sex with each other.

LOL.....at least you have a sense of humor.....that woman is seriously deranged. But......in case she's not, can you rain rocks down on my neighbor with the barking dog???

Send me your neighbor's address and a check for $32.50 and it shall be done. You did mean on the neighbor didn't you, because I wouldn't do that to a dog?

I have been up all night checking with ALL they gays about your request.

They say we can do the rain rocking as soon as we destroy the military & get some gym time in.

So what is the time course on God's wrath? Like, why didn't those birds drop as soon as DADT was repealed? How do we know that their demise was not punishment for some other sin that America has committed? I have so many questions....

[Progressive IL]

Why is everyone blaming Real 'Merica for these bird killings? Who's to say that the BIRDS didn't commit a mortal sin, and bring on their own demise?

And another thing... isn't it interesting that nobody else is asking these questions?? What are they hiding? Who's the bird-brain now?

God hates birds more than man? I doubt it. I can think of other people I wish "He" would smite down besides birds. Ramen

If Gawd is punishing birds for what humans do .... does he also punish people for what birds do?

Should I keep a watchful eye out, and try to stop any behavior in little birdie's bedrooms that might displease Mr Wrathfulness?

OMFG .......... the penguins are soooo going to get us all smited!
