by Mike Dixon

If the media won't pick up the Gannon story, there's a simple way to get around this.

3. What's wrong with forcing Falwell et al to put their money...

...where their mouths are?

Who was that white racist asshole senator that died a couple of years ago, and it turned out he fathered a half-black child, again? If you're being consistent, you'd complain about race being brought into the spotlight if we were trying to push THAT scandal into the light of day.

The scandal I'm talking about is hypocrisy, and it has to be exposed. Apparently you're focusing on the catalyst. We'll just have to disagree, I guess.

Seems to be a common theme on DU these days.

4. Strom Thurmond who was the speaker of the house

and was the eldest member fathered that child.
She was in her 80's when she finally got recognition.

6. No, if YOU were being consistent

... you would have formed a post that decried the fact that he fathered a half black child like you are decrying the fact that Guckert is gay.

Still not sure what's wrong with making falwell put up or shut up.

How would YOU make them answer for their hypocrisy, or are you fine to let them be?
