Brzezinski would be ‘banned’ from TV over homophobic slur if she were conservative

[countryboy]

She referred to Pompeo as Trump's "butt buddy" She's completely off the rails -more then just unhinged- every day.

I've often wondered why the LGBT community isn't up in arms over the constant use of gay sexual innuendo, by liberals, as a slur against political opponents. The libs on this board do this all day every day. Some have homo-erotic images intended as slurs, right in their signatures. Why is this considered acceptable behavior from people who claim to support the LGBT community? I think we all know the answer.

"NO TRUE SCOTSMAN" Alert!

no idea what you are talking about. but if it's a partisan reference, you can add Hillary into the list of neocons.
Obama/McCain as well when it comes to Libya and meddling in the Euromaidan

YET, lesbian, gay, LGBT, and bisexual voters all vote OVERWHELMINGLY for democrats. Somewhere around 90%.

Your smattering of 'LOG' Cabin republicans are treated like they have AIDS within their own party. Nobody there really wants them around.

YET, here you are talking about how mean democrats are to them.

... good luck with that.

Just because I am against the sexualization and homosexual grooming of children by our institutions and media, doesn't mean I'm intolerant of homosexuals.

I am talking about the double standards that Authoritarians, like Mika, preach. A 'do as I say, not as I do' narrative, to anyone that disagrees with their 'free speech for some' socialism. Liberals demand PC speech from everyone, ... but themselves.

She got angry, and exposed her true self.

The Evangelicals back Trump and are proudly Trumpsters. I still cant quite get my head around that one.

Well, JC wasn't on the ballot.

The point is that you don't speak for them. They wouldn't want you to, nor do they agree with you assertions, like the 'sexualization and homosexual grooming of children.'

Brezinski is FAR more aligned with gays and their positions than you are .. and I don't see a whole lot of gays and their groups attacking her for what she said.

I'm not sure 'Butt-buddy' is a slur in the gay community? I think it just means "Friends with Benefits".

And besides...it's true

You may think ALL homosexuals are bigots that believe in a socialist two class system, but I don't.

Gay postions?

Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Moving the bar on "Conservatism" so you don't have to answer for the failures of the policy and people you supported this whole time.

Your lifeboat's been set ablaze.

I don't think ALL of anybody hold the same positions .. which is why I never said it.

In fact, I mentioned 'LOG' Cabin republicans .. who are still closer to the thoughts of Mika and democrats than they are to you.

[cawacko]

Actually, your opinion means nothing on this.

You do not have a record of defending gay rights, and you vote for candidates who are either homophobic, or do everything in their power to undermine the LGBT community.

So you, and your voting record, are actually an existential threat to the LGBT community. You have no standing - none - to pontificate on this.

Your opinion on this issue is not worth more that a bucket of warm piss, and your only interest is in weaponizing it against a journalist you don't like. There is zero chance you actually have any genuine concern about harm caused to the LFBT community.

The only people who's opinions matter are those of have a record of genuine solidarity with the LGBT community.

Who do you define as having a genuine solidarity with the LGBT community? And don't tell me national Democratic politicians who all ran against gay marriage including Obama in '08. What's ironic is Libertarians have a far better record than Democrats on LGBT issues. And we can go back to 2004 when Democrats were pissed at Gavin Newsom for allowing gay marriage in SF thinking that it hurt John Kerry on a national level.

So who would you say qualifies as having "genuine solidarity"?

How about the party they vote for .. which isn't the powerless libertarians, nor the hapless republicans.

Their votes speak much louder on the question than your opinions.

Shorter version:

You have no concern whatsoever if this caused any harm to the LGBT community. None whatsoever.
You only wanted to weaponizd it against a journalist you dislike.

Your voting record for anti-gay, homophobic, intolerant Republicans does far more harm and damage to the LGBT community than this one ill-advised comment by Ms. Brzezinski. You need to look in the mirror long before you demand some random journalist be taken to the woodshed.

I wouldn't know one way or another ... so I'll bow to your expertise
