Tim Hardaway - over covered in MSM - should have said he hated Republicans to earn MSM approval

I'm not defending Tim Hardaway, but can you imagine the MSM jumping on a celebrity who said he hates Republicans the way they've jumped on Hardaway? The Left says it favors diversity, and they do as long as everyone agrees with them! Otherwise, they're totally intolerant. Tim makes some crass remarks, and they pound him for it. Had he said he hated Bush or Republicans the MSM would be feting him for his courage. I don't post many vanity posts, but I really wanted to note this weird reaction. Hate speech, they call Tim's remarks, and they condemn him the harshes tones. But if someone on the Left says some thing vicious about Christians, Southerners, whites, or Republicans, he's defended as having the right to say anything thing he likes because of freedom of speech. Forevermore, the Left will now do its best to punish Hardaway for not sharing the Left's view of Gays and anal intercourse. Just once, I'd like to hear the MSM say of a Leftie that they crossed the line when they engage in hate speech.

I know many black Americans who cannot stand it when Gays compare their troubles to history blacks in America. If nothing else, few blacks could pass for whites, but most Gays can pass for not being a homosexual. So that in itself is a huge difference. And Gays, as a group, were never enslaved because they were Gay. Gays cannot look as their ancestry as a group that was persecuted. After all, their ancestors were heterosexuals. And blacks have never displayed a culture dedicated to arrested development the way Gays do.

True. Gay history year...every year.

Of course. A while back, Al Franken published a book called Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. Is there a publisher on the planet who would have touched a book called Rosie O'Donnell is a Big Fat Idiot? Or Madeline Albright is a Big Fat Idiot? Or Sandy Burger is a Big Fat Idiot?

You can only say that kind of stuff about certain classes of people: primarily white males and Republicans. Of course liberal white males are an exception to this rule.

True, but there is also the fact that Liberals don't speak the truth. Hence, they could never say that Rosie, Madeleine, and Sandy are big fat idiots.

Not that I'm keeping score, but at this point on the PC scale, it would appear that gays are held in higher esteem than blacks. Can you imagine if Rush has made such a statement? There would be a congressional investigation into his drug use, his mail would be opened by the FBI, he would be persecuted by editorials, even more than he is now, etc. There would be no end to the publicity. I think it is so interesting to see how the international press must try to pander to gays without loosing its influence with blacks.

Gay trumps black. Soon necrophiliacs will trump Gay. It's the Democrats Identity Politics gone wild with preferential treatment for the more aberrant ones available.
