I wonder why the court docs were released in the first place; they are not always public. The extent to which you folks will go, and encourage others to go, to hurt people is shameless. How dare you find glee in some jerk writer who tries to leverage a personal family tragedy into a manufactured slur against this person? And then passively accept some miserably lame attempt at psychoanalysis? If this forum was a business, the posts that so casually degrade Prejean would be an entire course in diversity training classes to demonstrate how hate is a tangled web of liberal bigotry.

Umm, Did I dig those files up in my sleep or something? Cos I can't remeber doing that!
But its an interesting case you're making here. That reporters shouldn't dig up fact and figures to add to a story? I think thats a double standard there becasue yo have provided plenty of facts and figures to back up your stories, why not here?

she is :
1) an attractive woman, therefore she is not disabled by homeliness - how dare she!
2) a white woman, therefore not enabled by a minority status - You chose your parents unwisely didn't ya Prejean?
3) bold about expressing a "conservative" POV, therefore she can be attacked by the left for an opinion that is identical to THE ONE, who can not be attacked by the left.
4) a hetero therefore she can not have an opinion about same sex marriage anyway.
if nothing else, this whole increasingly tiresome episode does ONCE again illustrate the duplicity and double standards of the left and the media in the US. so for some it is a "teachable moment" - to use a Hillary phrase. ;)

and dont forget...
5) because she showed a very un PC attitude which people have called her on.
injest:
and YOUR attitude IS PC? oh I guess so, since liberals think only OTHER people are to be held to standards...
it is quite an education to see the jeaousy and vitriol poured on someone for speaking their mind, forging a chain for one person allows that chain to be used on you. Liberals dont' want equality, they want their feet on the throats of anyone that dares speak up. Nasty nasty nasty attitudes....gleeful at the thought of someone else hurt.
Freedom can't be for just a few select people.
Animal Farm was more true than I realized...some ARE more equal than others.

Well I believe in gay rights - so against her viewpoints I would saymy attitude here is more PC on this issue.
With regard to the bit I've coloured in red... Exactly, that's why I believe she was un PC in this situation. She has the freedom to say what she wants but I believe she is wrong, and I ahve the freedom to say that too.
I have not shown any jealousy or anger. I have only said that i think a) she was wrong in what she said and explained why I think this and alsio mentioned that b) as a beauty queen she should have had more common sense than to word what she said in the way she did. She was swimming in waters full of gays. Ie The beauty pagent world is full of gay men - why did she think that her words wouldn't cause a storm?

stereotyping much?
