Day Three - It All Blows Up in John Gibson's Face + New Video!

I want to leave a note here for the forensic cultural anthropologists that in the future will follow this thread looking for an interpretation of how the gay community viewed the haters in this stage of the game.

It is ridicules, these nobodies, where did they come from, the residue of some high school football announcers union, bitter and on blood thinners, cracking on a dead man to amuse himself and getting paid for it. Getting paid well because of all the other lonely dolts like him at home, behind the desk of some failing out mod-ed business, in some gas guzzling car headed for happy hour who listen to him and identify with what he says.

And what does he say exactly? He uses sound bites from the movie to illustrate a point he does not now in 2008 speak, that he is disgusted by fags and how they have sex, he knows it is a line he cannot cross because he cannot draw too much attention to himself, he has to let his gathered sound bites imply what he is thinking. (Burp, he says with the mic turned down).

And the words fail him. The words do not convey their going at it because "They never talked about the sex, let it happen". And some where someone listening to those soundbites someone will remember the next time it is on HBO and their curiosity will get the better of them.

So how does this fag view John Gibson and his ilk? Well to be honest I never heard of the guy before today. If I ever hear of him again I will probably not remember the connection if I don;t hear the name. How do I view these people? Twilight of the dumbasses.  ;)

I sent a little love note of my own to John Gibson.

Hooray.  I was out of my apartment for Countdown tonight, so I'm very glad to hear this report that Gibson ended up being the Worst person tonight.

I just caught the end of Dan Abrams a minute ago and he was also livid in denouncing Gibson and Phelps.  Abrams had a whole segment of his show that he said was all about not letting the "fringe right" "get away with" things like the horrible slander/attitude towards Heath's death.  Abrams seemed so horrified that he seemed to be almost sputtering as he spoke.  He also refused to call Phelps group by name because he said he didn't want to give "groups like that" any publicity.  But he kept referring to the un-named group as people who "want to picket at Ledger's funeral."  So, it was clear who he meant.

Thank goodness for good and reasonable people in the media like Keith and Dan... hopefully they go some way towards trying to mend at least some of the damage done by people like Gibson.

Wow, I didn't think anyone could top Rush Limbaugh mocking Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's, but apparently there's someone even more tasteless and insensitive out there.

Shuggy:
What you said, shakestheground. It's as though he thought Heath was Ennis.
