    the left is a strange breed of duck. I thought they said that adoption wasn't a viable alternative to abortion because whites would not adopt children of color. Then when they find an example of where it's happened ,they mock it. Imagine if Rush had sang the Sesame Street song .'One of these things is not like the other' in response to the photo.

    At least we have the courage to apologize for the stupid stuff we say, unlike the right who never apologizes for their stupid stuff.

    First, that's another lie and second, it takes no courage to tweet.

    Rush and Phil don't even tweet an apology, and Sarah never will. Self righteous bigots never do. That's no lie.

    What are they supposed to be apologizing for? If anything, MSNBC should apologize for their idiotic attempt at bashing Palin with the Bible they don't understand and you Robertson critics should apologize for accusing him of wanting a return to Jim Crow. He said no such thing and he is still entitled to his religious beliefs whether you agree with them or not. You'll notice A&E did not demand an apology because he has nothing to apologize for.

    Hello again, Steve:

    I've not called for him to apologize. I've not called for A&E to fire him. I've simply pointed out that he's a bigot, and I'm sticking with that story.

    I have never questioned the right of Rush and Sarah or Phil to say stupid stuff. Or make money doing it. I have a right to say they are stupid, whether you agree or NOT.

    See everybody is exercising their rights. That's freedom right? Don't care what A&E does to make money, and DD won't get mine. Discover Channels 'Alaska" series is better any way... with out Sarah in it!

    You're entitled to that opinion however wrong it may be, ex. I don't think you libs even know the definition of bigot, if you did you'd be calling GLAAD out for being major purveyors of bigotry and intolerance.

    In others they don't have anything to apologize for after all. Thank you.

    Personally I like it when wingers say stupid stuff and don't apologize. Proves my point on how stupid they are.

    Thanks.

    And again you make the accusation but offer no examples, while insulting them by calling them stupid. HELLO!

    Lets review, shall we?

    I MYSELF, PERSONALLY was sent to the deep south in 1962. That was when Phil was picking cotton in Louisiana with black people who NEVER complained.. There were TWO sets of drinking fountains where HE lived, and HE KNEW about them.. He KNEW why they were there. It didn't bother him.. If it did, he didn't say so.

    So, the question ISN'T what black people said to him... It's what he DID when he SAW the blatant WRONGNESS all around him. He did NOTHING. He is NOT relieved of his guilt for NOT noticing the WRONGNESS.

    The German people said NOTHING. They KNEW what was going on. Were they guilty because they did NOTHING???? You BETCHA!!

    First, you don't know what he did and second, the world is not a reflection of the big city culture warriors. Things are different all over so for you to criticize the life experience of those who lived it for not meeting your standards is to me just as much bigotry. You didn't live Phil's life, Mississippi ain't Boston. What do you suppose made him view himself as white trash? Is that the sort of self identification that really indicates he thought he was better than others? Here's a hint, no it isn't so save your pontifications for the elitists that sneer down their noses at Hicks like Phil, who in spite of his obvious flaws still preaches love for everyone. They might learn a thing or two about differentiating between loving people and endorsing their every behavior.

    You and Phil preach about love but show no understanding of anyone but yourselves. Go ahead prove me right, without preaching about YOUR rights.

    Dude, I have an HIV positive, bisexual stepdaughter that just got out of prison a year ago who is presently in the hospital with 3 broken ribs and pneumonia who I just helped take a pee and pull her panties up, living with me. Do you really want to go there with ME? Why don't you ask her about that, I'm sure you just might be surprised I have a heart.

    I never said you don't have a heart. I specifically said but show no understanding of anyone but yourselves. Never mind, I would be stupid to expect subtle nuance from a closed mind that is both subjective and conditional.

    No wonder you don't see the insult Phil has cast.

    Dude, you really have the balls to tell me I have no understanding of others after describing my daughter? You don't think I knew her partners, never visited her home, just sneered down my nose at them from afar? Not to mention the fact I live in the Hispanic neighborhood I grew up in.

    I've lived diversity every day of my life, I've seen enough to make you blush so save your pontificating for someone else. I walk the walk every damn day, I've earned the right to be critical of intolerant bigots like GLAAD, I have nothing to prove.
