I see your parents have been letting you watch Glenn Beck. Go tell your ignorant tripe to somebody else you dirty Repiglican.

That statement, while hateful and uncalled for, wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Calling somebody a punk because you don't agree with their fiscal policies and saying that they're ruining this country isn't exactly flattering, why don't you jump down his throat too? You're the only hypocrite I see, Jack!

That's the dumbest thing I've read. It's hardly hate to call someone on the fact that they are spewing hateeven if you have to use some harsh words to do it. And it's not hate to call Republicans on the fact that they are uncaring, selfish, pigs. Not hate, just accuracy.

I can forgive Michael's racist rant, (as uncalled for as it was) because I genuinely believe he just really blew up his temper in the moment, realized he was wrong, and I'm sure that's not the way he normally is. It seems to have died down in recent years, and it doesn't take away from my enjoyment of UHF, Seinfeld, or other things he's been in that I grew up on, like Problem Child.
Victoria on the other hand, is harder to overlook because a crazy Teabagger seems to be her usual self now! Going on Faux News and complaining about gay kids on Glee and basically using the Bible and Christianity as a reason to inferiorize gays or anyone else she personally doesn't like and being just really mean-spirited, close-minded, and hateful while doing it too!
When I saw that last year, the crush I had on her when I was 10-12ish (from this movie and SNL) went out the window faster than you can snap a finger. Considering that she always played really sweet/cute girl next door types, she's totally not somebody you would've expected it from. Her extremist views run counter to what you expect from the entertainment industry. Even the select few of them who are conservatives, are probably more moderate conservatives.
I'm not sure if she always has been this way (and maybe just didn't express it as much back in the day, when she was a bigger star, for fear it could hurt her career), or if she's gotten more right-wing hateful in recent years. but she's so much more dislikable as a human being now because of that. -

LOL..everyone does. Its only a question of who can hide it better. Except Al the man is really good-hearted and genuine and keeps his life in perspective. But we all get angry. It is just that most of us arent heard or are so unknown, it doesnt make the news.

I know about Michael Richards and the n-word; but what "hate" sppech is Victoria Jackson supposed to spewed? I mean, is it real hate speech, like the n-word? Or "hate speech" as defined by "liberals" (and by "liberals" I mean "tax-happy, coercion-addicted State-fellators")? That is, "hate"="anything opposed to the Hive"? (The Orwellian subtext being "Hate="Anti-Statism" because "The State=Love.")

The same thing goes for him. For stand up comedians, hecklers are part of the package. Yes, they're annoying, but a good comedian knows how to skate around them. Obviously he's not one.
The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated. -

Who will be the next limp wristed overly politically correct doogooder to start spewing cow manure?
Agree with whoever said 'Kramer' just heckled back, the chick? Victoria is it? Good on her, freedom of speech and all that. I have no problems with gays, but Glee (and especially as it is aimed at kids) is a bit too over the top with shoving the whole gay agenda down peoples throats.
Grow a back bone morons and start reciprocating that whole tolerance and peoples rights bollocks you spew at everyone.
Just look at the double standards, calling people breeders these day is fine, 'white face' is acceptable. Yet we do not see Straight Caucasians running through the street crying foul on every little injustice.
Seriously everyone has a card they can play, I'm rather tall, people point it out all the time and make comments or call me names based on that, can I cry 'haters' and get some special rights and privileges? Maybe some free money, a get out of gaol free card, scholarships for my kids
IF you got freckles, brown eyes, are fat, short, black, asian, walk with a limp, have a speech impediment, someone you piss off will take it and use it to hurt you. It's not hate, it's just called being humans. We all do it, male female, black white, straight, gay, Christian or Jew. If you say you never have you're full of crap.
Now piss off and talk about movies and save your Political Correctness and sob stories for your facebook wall.
These kinds of posts have no relevance to the films whose boards they appear on and they should be removed and the posters permanently banned.
imdb, once for discussing movies, now a facebook substitute. Off topic and all drama. -

Hilarious! That's the whole mentality that says, "It's OK that kids bully other kids at school. It toughens them up." And yes, doomedmarine, White people have it so hard. You're right. Always being called "white face." (???) You're also right that minorities always have it so easy: getting their Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Cards and getting free scholarships. Life is made for them. (Can I put most that paragraph in Sarcasm font?)
And "Glee" is shoving the gay agenda down people's throats? No, it's called portraying gay characters on televisionsomething you seem threatened by. It's also funny that you say that you "have no problems with gays," yet you start you post off of "Who will be the next limp wristed?" And to even suggest that there is a "gay agenda" is ridiculous.
And being human is using what identity people have and using that as a weapon? What a misanthropic and xenophobic way of viewing life. That's one of the most dehumanizing definitions of
being human
that I've ever heard. You seem like a very bitter person.
doomedmarine? You sound more like Ann Coulter. (Or Victoria Jackson for that matter.) -

Ha, dude relax! I'm just trying to make a point that I think it's a pretty dismal view of the world to accept that throwing out racial epithets and putting down a whole cultural group is an OK thingthat we just need to "buck up" and throw bigoted comments back. I'm White, but that does not mean I'm OK with calling someone "white face" (which I completely believe is a derogatory termI've just never heard of it). I don't think living in a world in which we accept bullying as a tactic to sift out the "weak" in a survival-of-the-fittest mentality is OK. Yelling the loudest or saying the meanest things possible is no way to sort out problems.
I was not saying that White people don't have problems or live in poverty or experience racism. But I also believe that it is impossible to completely experience prejudice in the same way as a part of the majority.
Yes, the world of "Glee" is ridiculous. And yes, too many shows still portray gay characters extremely stereotypicallyincluding "Glee," "Modern Family," "Will & Grace," etc. What's offensive is not that these gay characters exist, but that there is a lack of gay characters who aren't limp-wristed, talking with a lisp, etc. And I completely agree with you that shows like "Glee" are ridiculously PC.
And just because those are words you don't know, doesn't mean
I
had to look them up; believe it or not, those are words I know. It's not called using a thesaurus; it's called using English. And I used the word
xenophobic
instead of
homophobic
because I was talking more generally about prejudice and fear of the unknown. And I have no problem admitting what I don't know: I have
no clue
who Derryn Hinch is. What's your point? Good job on purposely stating an obscure reference just to "one up" me.
Looks like you got me there!
Criticizing the "pretentious" words I used and trying your hardest to insult me is hardly "dissecting" my post. To me it looks like going on the defensive and throwing out insults. It did make me smile, though.
