1. I don’t see the rascism.

And you didn’t see me accuse that comment of being “racist,” either.

I thought that was just a silly and longwinded way of asking “Does she think her shit doesn’t stink?” Our political discourse is getting a little thinned skinned. Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton had to put up with much worse than that. So did Condoleeza Rice for that matter.

And what was your reaction to it when Laura Bush was insulted? But now, it’s “thin-skinned” to think it’s over the top and wrong to post weird, ugly poems about Michelle Obama?

2. Those same people holding the signs are the same people who work in police departments, hospitals, and firestations all around the country. They have a right to political speech.

And I have a right to point out that they’re behaving like raging nutjobs.

3. IMHO people who revel in the fall of preachers when they sin, or act on perverted or self destructive impulses, have little compassion or empathy. Love the sinner hate the sin. Everyone one is failible, except maybe for some LGF posters who seem to take delight the failure of someone who tried to make the world a better place.

If you’re talking about Ted Haggard — oh yeah, that’s a guy who tried to make the world a better place, by ranting against gay people while secretly getting a whole lot of that same action for himself. And getting rich from it.

Many comments that i’ve read here lateley assign a “kook” or “racist” motivation to people they disagree with. (Glenn Beck is a perfect example of this). That is not neccessarily the case.

Glenn Beck is a Grade A prime kook, promoting ideas right out of the John Birch Society.
