The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Tuesday denounced comedian Jerry Lewis' use of the word "fag" on Lewis' annual Labor Day Telethon for Muscular Dystrophy and called on him to apologize.
Sorry, LAAAAAAAADIEEEEES ...

MSM probably will not let it die....

I wish Jerry would come out and blast the msm. Some ones' gotta do it - and he's the man for the job.

Yet “QUEER”, a term that generally means “weird”, is embraced by the homo’s as somehow cool.

I did think he said “illiterate faggot”. But he looked drunk or stoned. I think the audience thought he said it too, because they seemed to gasp.

Hey GLAAD, get away from our kids in schools, stop brainwashing them, and keep your sexual behavior in your bedroom! You haven’t done that, so your apology, to America is long overdue!

“Sorry, at 81 he earned the right to talk any d*mn way he wants, and the PC crowd can kiss his butt or change the channel”

Mr. Lewis also went on a rant against George Bush.

I don’t care if they appologize, but I do care if we’re giving them access. Put an end to it now.

I don’t care if they stay in the closet or not either, just turn of their damned mic.

"Luckily for Mr. Lewis, the illiterates haven’t composed a complaint yet."

LoL! That's because they can't read all the hype media is trying to build on the issue.

Fag isn't a slur as far as I know. Fags call themselves fags all the time. Not once have I heard fags complaining about the "Will and Grace" show, where the word is used several times every single skit.

As usual, fags are trying to draw attention to themselves, anything to stick their deviant, filthy, sexual perversions in everyones face.

Maybe the Gerbil owners association of America should stand up and throw one back at the fags, have them charged with cruelty to animals for using these poor things in their disgusting anal fascination.

They have, but no one can read it.

Never, ever, offer your anus to a buggery addict.

Clearly he was using this form of the word ;-)

“AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY”
n.
1. British Informal. a younger pupil in a British public school required to perform certain menial tasks for, and submit to the hazing of, an older pupil.

But since the homosexual community clearly has sole use of the word, everyone must appologize. Maybe they need to skip over to the other side of the pond and attack all those using the F word in many other contexts.

What are these queers and homos getting upset about? Don’t they know that ‘fag’ is just ‘gay’ backwards with the ‘y’ rotated 90 degrees?

Geez, this is bad reporting!

"Fatty" or "faggot"? Lewis didn't say "fag."

BTW, I hope this doesn't mean his losing the comic book deal:

What? Not published since 1971! How time flies!

And since the word queer has been in the dictionary much longer meaning weird than homosexual who are they to hijack a word anyway. We should all pick a word from the dictionary to describe ourselves and dare anyone to use it or a lawsuit will ensue. We would be using three word sentences. That’s how rediculous the PC @rap has become!
