A place to rant about politics, the media, and especially the electorate. Much like alcohol, the electorate is both the cause of, and the solution to, all of America's problems.

I'll kill the next faggot.... hahah - just kidding....

You gotta love Jimmy Swaggart.....

You gotta love the media even more - dutifully doing nothing but repeating such asinine apologies.

In case anyone is confused: when people make racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks, get caught, then claim that they were only kidding, THEY'RE LYING. Everytime. Without exception.

And BTW - "homophobia" is an unfortunate misnomer the bulk of the time. Racists don't have negrophobia, nor sexists gynophobia. Gay-haters don't say and do what they say and do out of fear, they act out of dislike, anger, and hatred.

This is one small way in which the PC crowd has shot itself in its own foot. They refuse to characterize people as mean or hateful, or bad or evil - choosing instead to describe them as uniformed or fearful, in need of education or sensitivity training.

There is a difference between remarks made out of fear/ignorance, and remarks made out of hatred/evil. And while in some cases it may be hard to decide which category a remark might fall into, most times it's pretty clear. In Swaggart's case (the most recent, that is) it's perfectly clear.

Let us recall what he said:

"And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died"


Joke? The only joke is Swaggart himself. He's a joke of a human being. Of Dice-man quality.
