Had to explain to a RWer what the American Taliban, he thought it was liberals, told him they need to stay out of my bedroom and my doctors office, I don't think forced births are at their will.

10. Have the media publicize his racist comments

Those were lost in the news surrounding his homophobic remarks. Racism will cause a television star to be fired (Paula Deen). Homophobia, unfortunately, is still acceptable because the right wing shrouds it in 1st Amendment protections. Even the right wing nutjobs don't defend racist speech, unless it's against President Obama, of course.

Back in the 1930s one of my aunts got married when she was 14.
She and my uncle were happily married for over 60 years.

Btw, it is still legal in some states for a girl under the age of eighteen to marry.

If the majority of Americans agree with what he said he keeps his job. If the majority of Americans disagree he looses his job. It is all about the ratings.

A hell of a team, she don't know what he says but it must be the gospel. They need heroes though most if us look at the heroes as zeroes.
