You want to point to where Glaad or any of the other militant gay groups have called out their crusader and Obamas "anti-bully" campaign head Dan Savage for the things he has said and done?
What exactly did this man say to offend you? Honestly.
I'm not offended...I have no idea who Glaad dislikes...I've said over and over I consider Savage nothing more than a shock jock looking for attention.
I simply feel that he signed a contract...AE is his employer...and if he starts babbling off at the mouth and pisses off his bosses...it's their right to suspend him.
Any more questions?
So add shock jock to comedian in my other post.
So Obama bequeathed his blessing on an outrageous shock jock to lead a national anti-bully campaign? Quality leadership

RE: GLADD unleashes vile remarks after Phil Robertson speaks Biblical Truth
I don't know why anybody cares what Phil Robertson has to say about controversial social or political issues. If he's talking about hunting, trucks, growing beards, gutting an animal, or something along those lines, then listen. Otherwise, realize that guys from that part of the country and of that generation are likely to say nothing but offensive things about sensitive social issues.

Like someone said, he should have pitched the show to Fox News.

RE: GLADD unleashes vile remarks after Phil Robertson speaks Biblical Truth
That's it grad..
Quote:I don't know why anybody cares what Phil Robertson has to say about controversial social or political issues.
If they just let the interview go without taking any action, or just made a statement that said that Mr. Robertson's opinions do not necessarily represent those of A&E or their employees, i don't think the backlash would have happened.
But the moment they censured him (which is basically what this is), they walked into a $#!Tstorm that is going to hurt the network in the immediate and near future.
Quote:he said something to upset the network...they are well within their rights to suspend him.
And they tried to get him to drop the use of the word Jesus from the show.. he refused and they didn't suspend him after that one. Like the other examples I listed, this is a mistake on the network's part.

Yes...when I watch a comedian I expect to hear curse words, racy comments, and outrageous statements...their networks expect it and are OK with it.

what the hell does this mean? Red Lobster and the people that eat there? wha?!?
Eating shellfish is a sin according to the Bible.
Only if you stick to the Old Testament....i.e. are Jewish....Nice try though....
I love seeing people that are not Christians trying to stick it to Christians by picking one verse out of the Bible and not understanding who it was written to or even what it is about.

Really? I may be old-fashioned when it comes to comedy (the Bob Hopes, Milton berle's, even the Don Rickles of the world), but the only thing that curse words and racy comments to try to get a laugh is they know they're not funny and they have to go for shock-jock for reactions.

No, he upset a bunch of leftist homosexual groups who don't like to hear what he had to say and they started bitching like the ******* they are

Didn't know "leftist homosexual groups" were the ones that suspended him...I sure thought his bosses at AE did that.

I can agree with this. But at the same time, when a conservative group is mocked or offended will you sing the same tune? Some people were offended when Whoopi Goldberg mocked Bush. Others were offended when the Jews got blamed for 9/11. Conservatives are being blamed for wanting dirty air and water and our only health plan is to see people die. We're called terrorists, jihadist, and have suicide vests - don't these libs see that they're actually mocking Muslims when they say that? Why aren't they shitcanned?
Some people mock conservative groups all day long and don't think twice about who is offended; but say something to piss off the 3%, or whatever it is, and there's hell to pay. And to tell you the truth, I'm tired of being called a racist, homophobe, intolerant Klansman, but no one gets fired over it. And if the LGBT community wants to rub in my face their offensive lifestyles and I state my opinion on it, well, as the left always reminds us, they don't have a right not to be offended. Embrace the suck.
