I can only conclude that Obama must be a closet racist,who also see’s the USA in a negative light.

There is no doubt that Wright is a racist and hates this country, his words are quite clear.

Obama should have left that church 19 years ago. He didn’t that tells me alot about his true feelings.

I wonder if the Obama supporters on this forum would feel the same way about a white republican who was a member of Aryan nation?

Something tells me they would not be so forgiving.

The fact is, most people in America ARE normal. White. Christian. Straight. Male.

I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but … most people in America, in the classic sense of the English word “most” = more than 50%, are FEMALE.

Can’t you righties get anything, er, right?

gbear: turns out one of the branches (unfortunately, not in the town I live in) of our county library has Hollywood Hall of Shame, so I’ve requested it and (assuming we haven’t totally moved on to other, easier targets) can check just what sort of jokes were made. It’s been long enough since I’ve read it that I could be mistaken, but I seem to remember there were more Hudson potshots than just the Andrews anecdote.

The stained glass windows at the church identify Jesus with the dark skin tone of sub-Saharan Africa

And a dick like a donkey. It was His Saving Grace.

Occupation forces are not the same as an ethnic majority.

Thanks, shoelimpy, for finally admitting our presence in Iraq is an occupation.

You know what really sucks?
You can’t get free drugs at drugfree.org.
Isn’t that false advertising or something?

You know what else? They ain’t got no babies at Babies “R” Us.

Miss Andrews repeatedly told her co-star, “Remember, I’m the leading lady,” To which Mr Hudson should have replied "as long as you remember that I'm the pretty one"

Is it just me, or in that picture of him, does it look like maybe Medved is… passing?

Hey kid, pull my finger!

Oh, that’s not what you meant…

I can’t remember those Medved books being crazy, although I am a straight Jew of Liberal Fascism.

Scribe, I’ve only read and only commented on the two books that the Medveds wrote before 1980. He may have gone off the rails by the time he wrote ‘HHofS’, but the only thing that I’ve read of that book is the line you quoted above, which only seems to relate a story that Julie Andrews teased Rock Hudson for being closeted, but Hudson wouldn’t tease her back. I guess I’m not feeling outraged.

That is an interesting excerpt, but I don’t see how it is homophobic, besides the conflation of “masculinity” with “homosexuality”. Julie Andrews deserves to be in the “Hollywood Hall of Shame” for that.

Oh wait, you mean he was trying to make fun of Rock Hudson there?

I’m gay and never felt offended by anything that was written in those books…

Really? So you’re OK with passages like this, from “The Hollywood Hall of Shame”:

[R]umors made the rounds describing merciless teasing by [Julie] Andrews and [Blake] Edwards concerning [Rock] Hudson’s somewhat ambiguous masculinity. Gossip columnist Joyce Haber reported that Miss Andrews repeatedly told her co-star, “Remember, I’m the leading lady,” and that Hudson, according to Haber, eventually became so frustrated by this treatment that he took a weekend break from the European location and flew to California for a visit to one of his favorite leather bars in San Francisco.

All I can tell you is, when Medved embarked on his second career as a right-wing shill, I was less than stunned.

I can hardly bear to listen to Air America anymore. Just Sam Seder, Rachel Maddow and sometimes Tom Hartmann (but God, can he sound like the most boring professor on campus sometimes).

But is Lionel getting his talking points directly from Hillary-lover and AA owner Mark Green?

He must bring up Pastor Wright about 300 times in his 3 hour gig. Saying how this is still going to be a problem and Hillary has a strong case that she is most electable.

News flash – Hillary has had huge leads going into the primaries. She has never expanded a lead, only had them diminish, each and every time. And yes, Lionel, that is even after the Pastor Wright dust-up.

I thought it was banned here as well, after a lot of “so-and-so is a motherfucker” naming and name-stealing. Or was that just a beautiful dream I had?

The pissant shoelimpy is banned for life from Jesus General. I think he is unique in that. The miserable prick is annoying even by troll standards.
