Chaz Bono Gets Protection From "Crazies"

ABC believes there are "crazies" out there who have a thing against Chaz Bono ... and network execs have taken precautions by ordering security for Chaz both on and off the "Dancing with the Stars" set.

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ ... there have not been any specific threats against Chaz, but the honchos know there's an element of hatred out there and they feel it's necessary to block Chaz from harm.

As a result, we're told Chaz will get security while he's on the CBS Television City lot -- where the show is filmed -- and off the premises as well.

This isn't the first time DWTS has had to deal with security issues. The show provided security for Bristol Palin after an anthrax scare last year.

I will tolerate gays. I will not celebrate them.

"ABC publicity stunt - set up something weird with a useful idiot, define it as multicultural, then pretend to be victimized."

This.

I didn’t know that any left wingers had guns. I thought they were against them.

The chick mutilated herself and parades around as a man. The only “crazy” she needed protection from was herself, and society failed her completely.

I didn’t realize there were people against sex change anymore.

It's not a "sex change", it's a self mutilation with the additional trauma to the body of an unnatural introduction of the wrong hormones, producing the likeness of a man or a woman without ever actually "being" one.

It's the height of mental illness and the result of a sick in individual and a less than worthy society.

Oh. I thought they were talking about some of the contestants. No?

Well, as I posted earlier, I feel sorry for this person. I am kind of relieved in an odd way that I stumbled upon the following info: She told an interviewer, she decided not to go through with the “bottom surgery”. Well, I know, ewwww. But that is just so horrible to think about, glad she didn't do that. Took hormones and had her breasts removed. Very, very sad. I'll pray for her.

This said, it's weird they are calling her “him”...I mean even with ALL that surgery, she would still genetically be a woman, but SHE'S STILL A WOMAN NOW ANYWAY.

Oh, she seems like such a tender soul, I can't help but feel for her...I just wish she wouldn't have shoved all this in everyone’s face...Certainly not on a show that so many young kids love. Dumb.
