Jerry Jerry Jerry, love ya man, but there was no need to apologize.

[chaos_5]

GLAAD urged Lewis to apologise for the comment and asked the entertainer to meet with members of the group "to help him understand why these words are so hurtful".

Since when did we have the right not to be offended?

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE FRIGGIN PROFECIONALY OFFENDED HOMOSEXUALS.

k, deep breath...

[Stoat]

This sort of apology will likely not be enough to appease the homo-Nazis. He will most likely be required to go into rehab and ‘donate’ a huge sum of money to a ‘gay cause’.

Good luck Jerry, you’ll need it.

[Lijahsbubbe]

“Gay”? What does the word “gay” mean? A totally innocuous word snatched by homosexuals who have anal sex.

[xzins]

I always understood that “faggot” came from “flaming” which came from “flamboyent.”

My wife and I were discussing “faggot” in terms of the movie “Birdcage.” Wasn’t “faggot” used in that movie without repercussion....and as an acceptable description of Robin William’s character?

[wastedyears]

Dean Martin would smack them around.

C’mon Jerry, we’re rooting for ya.

[weegee]

GLAAD must’ve been on vacation when Chrissy Matthews called Senator Craig a sexual deviant.

[Lijahsbubbe]

And Jerry, don’t let them confuse you with associating skin color with sexual activity, as in riding on the civil rights movement coattails.

Remember, sex = behavior
Skin color = ethnicity

"Jerry Lewis' on-air use of this kind of anti-gay slur is simply unacceptable," GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said, adding that the comic's remark "feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance" that could incite anti-gay violence.

I was just going to relax for a while before going to bed, but now that I heard Jerry say "illiterate fag," I'm going to go out and beat a queer! /sarcasm

[beaversmom]

Kill him!

“”Jerry Lewis’ on-air use of this kind of anti-gay slur is simply unacceptable,” GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said, adding that the comic’s remark “feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance” that could incite anti-gay violence.”

Bull. Queer men use “fag” all the time.

[fish hawk]

Hey Jerry! be careful when you are down there kissing their ass that they don’t turn around.

[wardaddy]

I’ve been mad at Jerry Lewis for dumping on my state 43 years ago on Carson...that said....he does good things and he shouldn’t worry about the queer mafia.

[ran20]

Another reason the mainstream media/entertainment industry is dying. Men all around the world like jokes that involve insults of groups or individuals. But you can’t do that because somebody is going to get offended and sue or boycott and the execs cave in.

On the other hand in the online media one of the pleasures is really brutal jokes and insults. That would horribly offend some people.

Yeah, except that it wasn't funny. I don't know that it demanded a public apology, but a private apology to the family certainly would not be out of line.

After 18 hours working with little or no sleep, even without the hot lights and the unblinking cameras, I get punchy. And I'm not even half of Jerry's age. I think most people accept that, and this will go away as quickly as it popped up. GLAAD knows better, from a PR perspective, than to pick on an old man, and Jerry doesn't make many public appearances other than on Labor Day Weekend.

When Jerry started doing telethons, the 'faggots' were still in the closet...

...the good old days, imho.

Ann Coulter is deeply saddened, lol

[restornu]

…and of course they glaad folks don’t’ set around at their office making straight jokes or condemnation do they?

[azhenfud]

Damned twisty britches over-sensitive faggots.
