How is it that Christians often offend gay people? By citing religious or moral beliefs? Is that it for you?

Of course the image is offensive. It’s much more than that especially in light of the fact that Stewart repeatedly reserves his most vile and sickening comments for Christians only. Not muslims, not Jews, not gays.

Tyranny of the oversensitive or tyranny of the desensitized?

I’m the wrong guy to ask that question. Ask a gay guy.

“Offensive” is not “hate speech”. It is merely offensive. Stewart was offensive.

I’m quite sure it is tyranny of the oversensitive. The “desensitized” get regularly overrun by the whiners and complainers. There is an entire industry set-up around being oversensitive. Gay activists, feminists, race activists, etc., etc. Why Christians want on board with that kind of activism, I don’t know.

Every statement deemed “offensive” by any group is called “hate speech” and generates a half-assed boycott that never works. They’re trying to drive Limbaugh off the air for “hate speech” toward women.

Its all rooted in the same problem. “Offensive” is not “hate” ... and when “offensive” is deemed “hate”, that’s when you get lynch mobs over mere words. That’s when you get “political correctness”.
