Subject: RE: Pain in tha arse
But don't you see a sort of irony in fighting homophobia by saying anyone full of hate must be gay? What's your thinking? Or are you just assuming that calling someone gay would be a pithy insult. Either way don't you think you are belittling the very group you claim to defend. In essence you have become what you are attacking. You claim Clinton's mentioning of someone being effeminate or weak is an attack on gays and respond by saying he is a jerk and must be gay. Your generalization is neither more fair nor less offensive just be cause you are gay...maybe some of Clinton's best friends are gay, then his comment is no longer offensive....see what I'm saying. Kat, my stronger objection is to Peg's response that says since Clinton called somebody a sissy he is condoning the brutal slaughter of a human and in addition UB Dan is an asshole (?)
