I just find it strange that the conservative contingent here, not you necessarily, was so quick to defend Savage on that other thread, despite him being one of the biggest public homophobes in the country. Hilton insults one brainless bigoted beauty queen and he is positively reviled.
Am I the only one who finds this disturbing?

I dont' see the contradictions at all...I have defended both Prejean and Savage based on free speech, I haven't advocated Perez be fired or sanctioned in any way, he is free to say what he wants to. I have a right to point out he is shooting himself in the foot.

Why is it that Perez Hilton's insults to a hetero Xian hypocrite makes him a 'Repulsive & Annoying Bitchy Queen who should find something useful to do with his miserable life' while Michael Savage's rabid homophobic rantings make him a 'Free Speech Avocate'? ???
It's so confuuuusing! ;D

this is not really funny but somehow it strikes me very funny. The silver lining for Mario here is that for him, trucking as he does in the lowbrow end of media, there is no such thing as bad publicity. A man who will go out in public in a Hello Kitty showercap has absolutely no fear of the Christian right.

You have it somewhat mixed up. It wasn't Hilton's treatment of Prejean that pissed people off. The Prejean incident was just the latest insult to our sensibilities. Hilton's reputation as an obnoxious bottom-feeder goes further back than that.

A man who will go out in public in a Hello Kitty showercap ain't nothin' but a clown. A screaming queen who goes out in public in a Hello Kitty shower cap is just a pathetic attention hog. Christian right or no Christian right. Unfortunately for Mario, the only way he can hold onto his position in the entertainment industry is by constantly debasing himself and being ever the provocateur.
