FAGGOT

There seems to be a lot of folks calling a lot of other folks not-so-nice names these days. Michael Richards calls some audience members niggers. Mel Gibson goes on a drunken anti-semitic rant. Isaiah Washington calls T.R . Knight a faggot, not once but twice - and once on national television, and then goes to "rehab" for his homophobia. Now, Anne Coulter has called John Edwards, who is not gay as far as I know, a faggot during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Woooooweeee! That's a lot of name calling.

Of course, every single one of these folks has been attacked by the media and the PC-police. I say we applaud them. I say we encourage these "compassionate conservatives" - or not so compassionate in Ann Coulter's case - to truly speak their mind. You see, the religious right and the social conservatives have spent the past decade or so hiding their hateful, sexist, homophobic, racist attitudes behind their politically correct language. Not that the democrats are that much better.

Imagine if we heard our politicians and leaders say that they were against faggots and dykes getting married. Or that they wanted to make sure that no more spics illegally crossed the border. Or that they were tired of those niggers being on welfare. This is what they mean when they hide their hate-filled rhetoric behind homosexual, same-sex, illegal immigrant and African-American or Black labels. Why not just say what they really mean? Use those words that they won't say in "polite company." Let the truth ring out across the land. As evil as Fred Phelps and his followers are, at least they truly speak their minds when they have young children standing on fresh graves with signs that say "God hates fags." We are repulsed when we see those images and hear those words. I am repulsed when I see pundits and politicians on CNN and FOX News pretend to engage in legitimate debate about the sanctity of marriage and same-sex marriage. I hear them say that faggots and dykes shouldn't be allowed to get married and that faggots like to fuck little children. Nice, huh?

The next time you listen to one of these assholes on television or read interviews with them in the newspapers and magazines or online replace their polite PC-speak with the slang words they really mean and see how it sounds. And in the words of Sarah Silverman remember that we all "LOVE CHINKS!"
