Gay Marriage.

In advance alot of my opinions on the issue of gay marriage were already voiced by Keith Olbermann in his brilliant "Special Comment" he did a while back, but here goes anyway. Why should it matter to straight people if gay people want the same right to marry???? They think it somehow de-values their marriage if gay people have the right to get married? I really don't undersatnd this one at all, gay americans want the same thing as us straight americans do, the cahnce to be with someone they love till death do them part. Self righteous right wing social conservatives want to say that marriage should ONLY be between a man and a woman, and a same sex marriage is an offense to god or something. But look at the divorce rate, and granted I don't have any data at the moment, but from my own experience people get married and divorced at the drop of a hat. Gay people want the right to get married to show the world that they love this one person and want to be with them for the rest of their lives, risking scorn and public ridicule. Now THAT sounds like real committment to me...how can THAT be an abomination to god???

ED SCHULTZ.

So Ed Schultz is the latest MSNBC host to be suspended, following in the footsteps of Joe Scarborough, and former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. On his nationally syndicated radio show yesterday Ed referred to conservative talker Laura Ingraham.as a "right wing slut"....he has since apologized for that remark. While the use of the word slut was not a great thing to do, Ed is someone who gets wound up about things he believes in with a passion....so cut him some slack. I never did hear Laura Ingraham apologize to Meghan McCain for making derogatory comments about her weight (BTW I think Meghan is gorgeous). Slut is not a word I would have used personally, although right now the only other term that comes to mind is "Right Wing media whore"....and that really isn't any better. I don't fault Ed for his passion, I just think it was a lapse in judgement on Ed's part....we're all human! My only REAL fault with Ed is that he gave the assclowns of the right wing media machine another excuse for mock outrage at the "Liberal Media!!!!!!!". I just hope that when Ed does come back he does not lose the passion...you're a real voice for the middle class and the working people Ed!!!! We love ya and we need ya!!!!
