It's one thing to have liberal guilt, but this is taking it way too far.

In a video posted to YouTube on Aug. 5, popular liberal talk host Thom Hartmann, identified what he considered was the appropriate way to cope with this guilt type, specifically that of which came with the issue of LGBT rights. Hartmann hails himself as "the 10th most important talk show host in America, and the No. 1 most important progressive host, in their ‘Heavy Hundred' ranking" according to Talkers Magazine,

Hartmann laid out the reasoning chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker used in an Aug. 4 ruling that overturn California's Proposition 8 gay marriage ban, a ballot initiative approved by over 7 million voters in 2008. Then he added his own unique solution.

Aww, let ‘em push the MSM talk to silly ultra proud extremes like that. Not even the Europeans could have dreamed up something this goofy. More rope, please! So they can hang themselves.

The most disdained and disrespected member of society today is the white male. How about some reparations there?

In Obama’s America, being white, straight, male, and Christian is like winning the “oh crap, this is gonna cost me a lot” lottery!

This posting is probably the most publicity this talk show host has gotten in many years.

We already HAVE reparations! it’s called a traitorous little U.S.Army private named Manning, and Wikileaks!

Sorry, they lost my support, vote, and since their silence on the little private man-wanna-be-girl, are now communists!

The homosexuals have won the war not by convincing the majority that they are in fact normal, but by infiltrating the medical community, entertainment community, educational community and the legal community.

I would say most Americans have a go along and get along attitude towards homosexuals. But this is not enough for them. They not only want acceptance they want indoctrination of our children, and now they want reparations.

They seem to forget, what the courts give, the courts can take away.

The “silent majority” of this nation has been pushed from all sides, they are taxed beyond their ability to pay, they have been cheated in their investments, they have been denied a good future by environmentalist, they have been called vile and disgusting names because they do not accept polictical correctness, they have their lives ruled by dictators in black robes, and they have laws enacted that they have expressed opposition to.

The “silent majority” is being pushed into a corner. Their life savings gone, their children's future is being destroyed for no good reason they can understand.

How far can the ruling class push before the citizens of this nation turn around and push back? That is a calculation the ruling class should ponder.

If you take away everything, then there is nothing else to lose. If I was a homosexuals the last thing I would be doing is poking the hornets nest with a stick, but this call for reparation is just that.

Well the methodology looks kind of like ask for the stars, settle for the moon, iterate as desired. As long as the “moral majority” permits itself to be gamed in this fashion, the gamers will game it. I don’t think most Americans yet want to be like Europe, a senescent society going into its silver years while young Moose eat more and more of its lunch.

Gays, more than any other class of men, think with the wrong head. It is the idolization of the goddess Venus (so to speak) that has helped get mainstream America so susceptible to the tail wagging the dog.

I agree. I never even heard of him before I read the article. He must have MSNBC type ratings.

If it wasn’t for the elections, there would be blood in the streets now. People are waiting to see what the next bunch will do. If they don’t reverse things and pay down the debt there won’t be other choices

Remember folks, the gays are told that it was Ronald Reagan’s fault for the Great Gay Death of the 80’s, not the gays inability to stop having unprotected sex. And that is why the largely gay MSM HATES Republicans.

IMHO, the GAYS should be paying reperations to the families of the hemopheliacs they killed when they tainted the US Blood Supply with AIDS.

That is how two of my friends died in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

I’d tell them to “shove it” but they might think I was flirting.

Hartmann is another example of a one trick pony - like the gay judge who overturned California’s Prop 8. These people identify themselves by their sexuality/race/ethnicity first. I think it is worth noting that those who do identify themselves by their “differences” are almost always lefties. With Kagan, there is a gay person on the USSC, now, who will push that agenda. Sotomayor will be pushing the Hispanic agenda. The saddest thing is that these people claim that their sexual orientation, race, ethnicity “informs” their decisions. A more accurate description would be that their differences “prejudice” them, and not in a good way.

You said the magic word “infiltrating” and the msm is blind to it.
