WTF?
Republicans interrupt ceaselessly when Dems start to call them on their BS, or state a winning fact.
These pansies can't stand the taste of their own medicine. I've watched Dems tuck nuts and cluck for decades.
Now I get to see the liberal media whine when Biden doesn't sit with hands folded on his lap.
Great.
I love MHP's show on MSNBC, don't get me wrong. But we don't need balance on MSNBC. It IS the balance!

Okay, now we can relax together. I have supported LGBT rights in every way - for probably longer than you have been alive.

(115,677 posts)How about calling them just assholes rather than offensive slang for gays or women?
this is what you worry about? life must frustrate you endlessly!
no worries.

(115,677 posts)I do not understand insulting someone by calling them gay or female. Or of a particular skin color or ethnicity. There are many other ways to insult them, find those who fall to those ones are generally lacking in imagination and/or empathy.
Thanks.
Sometimes unbiased, or otherwise, people don't understand how their words can hurt others. Or, how their words make them look to others.
DU is good about teaching this lesson.

If it's someone who really thought it, then I want to hear them, otherwise I agree with you there is no use for it.
Who was the pundit?

This does not surprise me, as you also totally misunderstand MSNBC and expect things of them that only a sap would expect. They are not the balance to anything, they are the competition to other cable chatter punditry outlets, that's it. They employ some of the most right wing talkers on TV and some of the most vapid, home of 'Morning Joe' and of 'Sippy Cup's Four Hand Follies'.....

(16,854 posts)Not sexist, nor homophobic. This hypersensitivity lends to out being discounted by most. It's an unreasoned leap - reactionary and misplaced.
I'm not a sap. Name-calling discredits you. I wonder why you went there?
You see things through the lens of modern history. A decidedly corporate book, writ by corporatists and seemingly purchased by you. For me, the 4th Estate is the only protected commercial industry BECAUSE it has a duty to question authority. We need to defend it when it exists, as in MSNBC, Democracy Now!, F.A.I.R. et al.
PBS used to, now we have such a starving demand that it has hit cable. If you think there are not well-moneyed forces trying to dilute the messages sneaking out of MSNBC then it's 'you' who needs a bit of research time.
Your premise does not support your conclusion. Failed logic argument. Many fallacies and I have to reject you if I demand our "leaders" do so against the rightwing propagandists.

(45,319 posts)And yet, you still have not managed to name the name of the pundit whose words so impacted your brain. Amazing.

For a funny explanation about the evolution of words try this south park episode, Big Gay AL is given a prominent role, not as much as his great song in the movie, but still good.

This post is not meant to offend anyone, I am 110% behind marriage right for everyone & every other type of equality for all.
NOT FOR H-D riders, I love Suzuki so I laffed even more
EDIT: On Balance on MSNBC, the evening shift is a-ok & afternoons are gettin better but I hate mourning joey & andrea mitchell. Current TV is my fav now & my DVR gets Bill Press, Stephanie MIller, Young Turks, Joy Behar, Viewpoint (Eliot Spitzer) and the War Room (Jennifer Granholm who I am in love with, she has a great laff & sense of humor aside from being at least 2x smarter than me). every day. AND John Fugelsang who is quick as a whip, well versed in christianity and know how to deal with fundy hate and very very funny too. end edit

(16,854 posts)I've marched and protested for decades.
I've donated money when I was doing well, and when on unemployment.
I've been a delegate to this, and to that.
I've done service work; from posting signs and posters, to civil disobedience.
But there are factors in life that preclude civil disobedience and arrest. A single parent with no familial support is not so free to get arrested or beaten. We all need to do what we can, and respect each others limitations too.

And that it's some kind of lock step thinking to ever support them even in the last month before the election.

(146,308 posts)homophobic slur. Since gay men have been called that by homophobes, it has a negative connotation. When you use it to describe people it calls up that negative description of gay men. That's where the homophobia comes in. If you could edit your post to remove that reference, it would be great, and many people will thank you for doing that.
