When the badguys say things in all seriousness, that seems to be quite acceptable. We we say something with humor all hell breaks loose. Sigh…

Republicans have been doing the same for years. They act like the own God.

Of course, tehse kinds of comments are in poor taste at all times – but largely, like most things – if they are to be dissected – they the INTENT is what matters.

Well he should apologize. Everybody knows that it is Hurricane Hannah that is bearing down with God’s wrath; not poor old Gustav. I mean…really!

Funny about the whole Katrina thing being blamed on the GLBTI crowd. The least damaged part of New Orleans was the Gay section of town. Also after Kathleen Harris gave the vote to the shrub in 2004 Fla. was hit with 4 hurricanes the next year and has had at least one every year since.

Now thats what I call divine retribution! Leave God’s children alone, all of us.

You know this country has gone too far to the politically correct side of life when someone makes a comment and right away, everybody and their brother jump on them for saying it. It’s too bad this country no longer really has freedom of speech. A show like All In The Family would never get on the air in today’s climate. But it was that show that was so groundbreaking because they said what they felt. Sad. Just sad.

And, of course, fat reverend Hagee said (in a SERMON) that Katrina was retribution for Southern Decadence in 2005.

Funny how repugs think that’s fine, but a private conversation between democrats that gets media attention is “disappointing and despicable” when it pretty much says the same thing…

“Some stupid mythological imaginary being is on our side and this storm proves it!”

OH! How despicable!

Someone quite consciously making a satirical comment, and Jerry Falwell and Focus on the Family really meaning what they said, are basically at opposite ends of a moral continuum: The latter = bullsh*t; the former = someone calling Falwell and Focus on their bullsh*t.

It’s the difference between people being evil, and productive, useful, pro-social satire of people being evil.

Two Wrongs Do Not A Right Make.

I’m stunned when people make such insensitive comments. If they would actually step back and think that as a result of these storms, people lose their homes and sometimes lives.

It’s very sad but not very surprising.
