    Anyhow, I don't care what a Robertson, or a Farrakhan, or a Bashir say. Their views are their views, and have literally zero impact on me, and minimal impact on society.

    Nowhere in the Bible does it say to start condemnation with the gays. And it was an anti-gay remark. No quotations needed. Also, slave owners used the Bible to support their acts of cruelty. Cruelty should not be allowed no matter what the Bible says..

    Most Christians? Do you have statistical proof? I know hundreds of Christians who don't believe homosexuality is a sin.

    Sheen's a pussycat.

    Biblethumpers have murdered many millions in the name of god.

    How about a cage match between them?

    Being a homosexual is not a sin to many people but they are likely not going to want to hear of
    homosexual acts. And even when they do, they may still wish to avoid passing judgement, but involuntary revulsion is sometime difficult to avoid as Leviticus suggests, abomination needs no words to express.

    Phil Robertson being attacked for attacking the homosexuals.

    The writer asked him “What, in your mind, is sinful?”

    Notice he doesn't attack the person, but the act. He has gone on to say he loves all men and women equally. It's a shame those casting stones on him don't have the same courtesy.

    He also said these hateful words in the article
    And of course, if there is perceived injustice anywhere in the world the NAACP jumps on the band wagon

    They go on to call him a racist for these comments

    he's denying there was black oppression under jim crow and implying modern black entitlement is responsible for abuse of the welfare system. his comments are extraordinarily ignorant and racist.

    No, he isn't, you are. He is not denying, he is stating his view on what he saw and lived through. Living in both Portland and Houston I have seen first hand the difference in both white and black people from different areas. I happened to grow up in an area with one black family. They seemed really happy to me, but doesn't make me a racist or ignorant for saying it. Here in Houston, things are much different. Areas predominantly black that are flat out dangerous. A child growing up there would have an entirely different viewthan I did. He stated its what he saw period

    you're completely missing (or willfully ignoring) the context and implication of the paragraph, just as you are with his statements about homosexuals. he is obviously not simply making an observation from experience in his younger days. he's making a political statement that happens to be completely ignorant of the facts and to have racist overtones. he may not be so much a willful racist as he is just a redneck ignoramus, but that paragraph absolutely is insulting to blacks.

    I don't know how the guy could have lived through the 1950s and 1960s in the deep south and not seen separate drinking fountains at the least.

    Even in retrospect, he has to know the history.

    There's no disputing that his statements were ignorant and racist.

    Liberals didn't invite Ahmajnindisnjob to speak.

    Liberals don't consider Farrakhan anything at all, and I doubt that Obama considers him anything. But it makes for a neat meme.


    We live in a nation (hell, a world) that puts more emphasis on women being attractive than smart, handy, self sufficient, or self reliant. We're better than we were in the past, but still not great. The "fix" to the problem has created a weird, perverse almost, impact on young boys though.

    Human beings have murdered many more than Biblethumpers in the name of human beings. How about a cage match between all human beings?

    So if you are asked about black people where you grew up and say you saw people singing and not complaining that would be racist?

    Wow, what a fucking crock of shit that is
