I have just finished digesting the article and the reactions here on this thread. I had to draw an obvious parallel.

This reminds me of when RUN DMC deejay Jam Master J was shot outside of a concert hall. Folks who would sooner dig out their eardrums with a crochet needle than listen to his music wrote it off as "yet another gangsta shooting" and bid him good riddance. The on-air cretin Mike Gallagher led the charge. His ignorance was so amazing that I felt like reaching through the radio, grabbing him by the ears and shaking him like a cocktail.

As the tired canard says, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. This phrase has a particular meaning when the "sayers", namely conservatives, have every syllable analyzed for fodder in the ongoing culture wars.

So commentators and on-air personalities (and I know some of you talking heads and online political scribes are reading this) get your collective heads out of your rears and learn something about which you speak or type. At this stage in American politics, conservatives need not only to be right, but to be correct. Do no harm. Ignorance of some subjects is OK and you don't need to have an opinion on everything. And most of all, take a trip to the land of "shut the eff up" if you are about to communicate something stupid.

Yeah.

And if people have nothing good to sing, they shouldn't sing it, either.
