reasonable? Likening Whatcott's comments to gay pride parades and the tiny amount who go naked? Hardly.They did basically pull all support for him out from under him though. Connie: "yeah, he is out there..." ETA: And oh ya, Frank the Frank from over there, states a free country doe not need the human rights commission, unreal! [ 22 July 2007: Message edited by: remind ]

Well, clearly I posted before she said that, right? Coren corrected that right away, by saying that it's the vast minority of gay people who do this.Whereas my response would have been, "You say that like it's a bad thing." She did get a good line in. Coren asked her whether people were forced at gunpoint to visit her site, and she said something like, "No, I don't think we're the home page of the internet or anything." Ha! I'm sorry, what can I say? I really dislike their site (I've resolved once again to stop reading it now because I've wasted WAY too much time on it this weekend!) but heck, I'd take advantage of a left-wing show too if I wanted to get the word out about something like that. And also, I think if babblers knew I was going to be on a call-in show, they'd probably do their best to be the callers, right? Er...right? [ 22 July 2007: Message edited by: Michelle ]

Well, I do not know about correcting it actually, well then again with second thoughts relativity and all that I suppose. As I was going to say, Whatcott's hate Muslims Homosexuals words on the flyer and all the rest of that racist, sexist crap that goes on there is much worse than a Pride Parade and to compare the 2 is outrageous. But then I remembered they agree with him. errrrrrrrrr correct, not so much right, eh!

Michael Coren....Coren... Oh yeah, he's the guy who always complains about Christian voices being silenced in the media.Can't remember where he did that...in his Sun column? One of his many books? His radio show? His T.V. show? Poor Michael, can't get a word in edge-wise.

Shy? Not you Michelle. quote: Murray Dobbin says more lefties should listen to talk radio and read right-wing media and contribute so that the left-wing point of view comes through. So, I just held my breath and dialed.
Good idea, but am not phoning long distance to speak on Coren's show, and I am not sure we have any here in BC. Rutherford out of Edmonton may be the closest, and that is still long distance.
