Joe.My.God. has a comparison of Maddow's coverage versus Anderson Cooper's:

NO MATCH: Maddow Vs Cooper On George Rekers Rentboy Scandal

What a disappointment CNN's coverage was tonight. But WOW, did Rachel Maddow ever hit it out of the park! JMG reader Curtis observed on Facebook: "The difference in reporting between the two is notable. Probably not coincidental that one is out and one is not."

1. Excellent summation.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

3. Yeap
he was pro gay until he was anti gay, before he was gay and/or bi sexual, but right after he rec'd $600,000 to be a expert witness in the anti-gay stuff down there in Florida, but only accepted the expert fee monies before or after he realized he was gay or like gay sex.

But actually, Obama is the evil one and he came into his dream and made him gay b/c really he was not gay, but Dodson, Robertson, et al., will send him to school and make him not gay.

Is that right ya right wingers?????

4. Right On Rachel!!!
"Being gay can't be cured. Being a contemptible hypocrite can be cured."



- But it ain't easy, because the first step is -- you have to admit that you're a contemptible hypocrite........

5. George Rekers is WAAY beyond hypocrital. He is Evil...a Sociopath
The states and organizations that paid this scum money...should sue him...or better yet, find a law he broke, prosecute him and throw his miserable ass in jail.

7. SO SADLY
Our society is run by and idolizes Evil, Sociopathic, men and women. We seem to have no capacity for truth and compassion. I think I should come out as a serf. Because I am. I would love to see the other 95% "come out." Because this IS a condition that should and can be "cured." I hope I have not offended anyone who is gay. I've known since birth, that I am a heterosexual and I have been okay with that. The realization that I am a serf has been much harder to deal with. Especially since I realize that the vast majority of humans are, and there is a cure. It is called civil rights and progressive taxation. That along with removing all money from the political process can cure many of us.

6. Being a contemptible pathetic hypocrite can be cured.
Awsum line in response to being gay can be cured and it needs to be paraphrased more often.

12. Best summation I've seen
It's not just the hypocrisy, it's also the active antagonism towards other gays by people who have the power to make life difficult for gays. I didn't have a problem with this outing before and I definitely don't now.

17. K & R for Rachel!
:applause:
I have great respect and admiration for that lady... :patriot:

It seemeth me (and this is pure OPINION, 'K?) that trying to compensate for self-hatred by stomping on others just makes the hating-of-self worse.
It not only doesn't deal with 'the problem' (whatever it is causing unhappiness), it adds a spiritual weight...karma, if you will...that just makes the person's entire life condition worse.

By 'life condition', I'm not talking money...Reker's probably rolling in it.

But can you imagine the desperate papering-over and denial going on in his head..."I'M not gay, I'm COUNSELING/CURING/SAVING this boy!"
Sorry, George...you've been busted...and be honest, even YOU don't believe that, do you?

As if you (or anybody) hates loud enough and long enough, then maybe your God won't notice that you're just as "guilty" as those whose lives you've been trying to ruin...er...save.
:sarcasm:



Very wise person told me once that if a somebody REALLY pisses you off, then maybe you need to look in the mirror. Chances are that the thing that angers you most about them is part of your OWN little bag of tricks...:blush:

18. then maybe your God won't notice
Which reminds me....
Is there any reason for hating The Gay except for Religion? Any at all?
