I have to disagree with Bill Maher about boycotts and free speech

7. Since you leapt to gay issues, I will say that the Rush Boycott strikes me as a tad much out of a

bunch of people who were perfectly happy to have denigrating hate preachers all over Obama's campaign right up to the Inaugural. I mean, Rick Warren called gay people pedophiles, criminals and compared our relationships to incest three weeks before Democrats honored the fuck out of him in front of the entire bloody world on live TV.
So while Rush sucks, people who invite a guy who calls me terrible names are a bit hypocritical when they claim to always stand against denigrating speech.
Last week I watched DUers empathize with the killers in Paris 'they had been denigrated, what did the cartoonists expect to happen' they asked. But they also casually demanded that LGBT people fully accept and watch honors be given to a man who denigrated us.

So boycott if you want, but don't think that those who are attacked by the hate speech you do not stand against don't notice the hypocrisy and lack of concern in our direction.
