I Don't Get It
EeeeeAaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!
Howard Dean wants an apology.
Howard Dean wants an apology from somebody he doesn't like.
Howard Dean wants an apology from somebody he doesn't like for something she said about someone else.
Ann Coulter insulted "The Breck Girl," John Edwards. Or not. It all depends on how you interpret it.
She is reported to have said, "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word "faggot," so I — so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."
At it's worst, she may have called him a homosexual. For this, Howard Dean thinks she should apologize and the rest of the conservative world should shun her.
From a liberal perspective, Ann Coulter lumped John Edwards into a group, differentiated by their choice of behavior, that the liberals tell us is the most wonderful and courageous behavior choice anyone could make.
Howard wants us to shun Ann Coulter for lumping John Edwards into that group, differentiated by their choice of behavior, that the liberals tell us is the most wonderful and courageous behavior choice anyone could make.
Confusingly**, Howard was outraged at Ann's comments. He said they were "hate-filled and bigoted." If I interpret Howard aright, for Ann to imply that John may be numbered among the most wonderful and courageous behavioral choice group in the world is to insult The Breck Girl, and Ann should, therefore, be shunned.
Look. Either homosexual behavior is good or it is bad. If it is good, then let us all agree that we should all aspire to be queer. If it is bad, then let us all agree that we should all aspire to rid our society of it. Homosexuality isn't just good if you long to be a choreographer or a designer. It has to be good if you want to be a football player or a surgeon -- or a President -- too.
On the other hand, if homosexual behavior is so repugnant that we have to castigate a pundit because she may have implied that a failed vice-presidential candidate may practice that behavior, then we have to conclude that, in some cases, homosexual behavior is bad.
The phrase, "in some cases," must be fully defined. This should not be interpreted to just mean "in some situations." Sometimes a situation makes things more offensive than others. It's wrong to fart during a wedding. That's a situational thing. (SBDs, on the other hand, can have some comical results. More on that maybe sometime a long time from now.)
When the phrase "in some cases" is used in this monologue it should be interpreted as "for some people."
If homosexual behavior is wrong for John Edwards, but right for Rock Hudson, then we are socially confused and we need to find a "controlling legal authority" regarding this matter and refer to it.
Oh, yeah. Our controlling legal authority -- the God of the Universe Who created these broken vessels -- is rejected by those broken vessels. I guess we're at an impasse. So we're back to using logic.
Either homosexual behavior is good and we should all aspire to it or it is bad and we should all find a way to rid our culture of it.
Howard Dean may be on to something. Even relying on Howard's response, it is most likely that homosexual behavior is repugnant and we should do everything we can to rid our culture of it. Ann is very perceptive. Ann should recognize what Howard is saying and welcome him to the majority who believes that homosexual behavior is wrong. If Howard will acknowledge that we need to rid our society of the homosexual evil in it, then we should be willing to write Ann and ask her to apologize.
That is, unless she actually has the incriminating grainy photographs and negatives of John and is willing to sell them to Weekly World News. At that point, we're well past words. We're into politics.
