I love this site. There are a lot of smart people who post here. Plus, you guys all understand the political philosophies of both the right and left...even though we all lean right....for the most part. I expect smart snappy and informative remarks when I come to this site and I usually get them.
With that said, I will never understand some of the homophobic snark that gets posted. Are you all in seventh grade? Besides making you look silly and small and irrelevant amongst serious people, your remarks paint us all in a bad light....and therefore conservatism in a bad light. I have no freakin clue what Shep Smith does in his private life....nor do I care. Its not relevant to anything. Now grow up!!!!!!
I’m upset that he’s starting to sound like Paul Harvey!
Thank you. I coulda wrote what you did, word for word. Could it possibly matter less if Shep is really gay? It’s a little funny if he really is, the irony of him being a “Faux” guy, but who cares!?
It most certainly is relevant as it colors his opinion and his reporting.
So what’s wrong with homophobic? It’s a made up word combining slang & Greek. A literal parsing of `homophobic’ means “irrationally fearing those who are the same as oneself”.
Me, I’m not afraid of other conservative heterosexual God-fearing gun owners. Not a bit.
BTW, being homosexual is supposed to mean being immune to criticism, in today’s PC world. That don’t fly here at FR.
“” Thanks wish I saw this b4 I posted
Fooey on you, Mister Meany!
I sense an opus coming on.

To you this issue may not be relevant, but clearly not everyone shares your opinion.
Adults are able to intelligently discuss issues with which they may not agree.
You are identifying yourself as a GOP-e "moderate" showing contempt for the social conservatives who (used to be) in your party.
Why does it bother you? Who cares what a bunch of commie fudge packers think of us anyway.they need to be ridiculed and made fun of at every turn. They’re bent remember?
The only time I care about Homo’s is when they push their agenda.
I haven’t heard Smith pushing his agenda, and he dresses like a man.
Maddow tries to look like a man pushing her agenda./
I’ve noticed the usual suspects reply to these threads just so they can write fag, queer, faggot, homo etc. The comments are never thoughtful or informative. Just want to get their hate on. Sad.
I will go along with that.......And as a side note, I liked his delivery of the news. While most folks label him a libtard due to his commmentary, they fail to realize that he has nothing to do with what he says on air, he's simply reading a teleprompter.........
1) “Homophobic” is a nonsense word, made up by liberals to try and demonize those who don’t slobber over queers. It has nothing to do with being phobic/fearful of them.
2) If homosexuals stayed in the closet where they belong, and ashamed of their actions as is proper, I wouldn’t care what they do in private. But they shove it in our faces every day, harder and harder, demanding it be normalized and celebrated.
3) It’s natural to be disgusted by homosexuality. Two men messing with each other’s filthy anal area and calling it “love” or “marriage” is outrageous, and a sick joke. Homosexuality is pure perversion.
If telling the truth about feces-obsessed deviants makes me look “small” or “silly”, well....I don’t give a damn. I’m not going to shut up about it. I would say conservatism is put into a bad light by those who see nothing wrong with such sickness.
Oh, so you like faggotry.
Good to know where people stand.
Some on solid ground, some in the cesspit.
Thank you very much. This is the subject I disagree most with on free republic. I suppose all the freepers who just love to call gay people fudge packers and the like have no flaws themselves and no sins at all, otherwise why be so full of hate for people not doing anything to harm them?
I do not like the agenda to push gay marriage or sex Ed to young children, but every individual is a child of Gd and we are not talking about a political opponent here. Shep works for Fox and he doesn’t seem like a leftist. He is incredibly effeminate but that isn’t his fault. It’s just who he is. I can handle that people have differences. Kraut has his chair; Shep has his mascara. I really don’t care.
