Please listen to Fox, bigotry.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

A major retailer decided to give a platform to a celebrity who is best known for being a lesbian. A parents' group organized a protest. For that, they were libelled as bigots , on fox News no less.

I have a problem with people who want to throw around terms like "bigot" when people are thinking about role models for their children, etc. Don't these parents have a right to say to a retailer, "We don't approve of this. We'll take our business elsewhere." Why is that bigotry? Every major religion teaches that homosexual conduct is a serious sin. Don't people who take their religion seriously have just as much right to be offended as homosexuals? By Golderg's logic, these parents could say Penny's is bigoted against religion, which is probably fairly close to the truth.

As a business, you have a choice. You can self-identify with various groups and risk offending your customers or you can try to appeal tpo the broadest possible segment of customers. To me, it looks like JCP is taking the former route. Maybe it works for them as well as it did for TGT.

People have a right to be offended and can vote with their wallet. But asking JC Penny's to fire another person because you don't approve of their private life is not capitalism. I have no problem with conservative groups saying we will never shop there again. And they can even publicly state to make sure they are heard. That is where it ends. We don't have people fired just because we don't like them. Can we see where this could go?

And being straight is not being a good role model nor more then being gay is being a bad role model. As far as labeling anyone a bigot, I don't think others should defame people who disagree with your lifestyle. So we are in agreement there. People can believe what they want to believe and leave it at that. Calling people bigots or racists just because we don't like someone is not kosher.

RCG, all you have to do is go read your posts. 90% of them are racist. You are either promoting black racists or you are calling white people racist. The other 10% you are just being racist. :D

Now, go create that poll and let's see what others here think rather than you just denying you are RCG Sharpton.

P.S. If the vote goes your way, I'll quit calling you a racist. But, if it doesn't we'll be free to monitor your posts and "call 'em as we see em."

I am not worried about you or anyone else calling me a racist, you cannot put a link up to a single post where I called someone racist without being destroyed on here by a process called logic, so it is wise to seek a popularity contest when you have no evidence.

So go ahead, post a statement I made that is racist. I dare ya:D

Let's make this simple. Why don't you start a thread with a poll so we can poll the ET crowd here to see if they think you are racist or not. Just a simple poll. What do you say? Go ahead make a poll.
 
Well its nice to see you finally admitting that your attempts to falsely accuse people of being racists have been decimated.... now if you simply quit falsely accusing people of racism maybe we can start having civilized debate....

Just so I know for sure...... im not talking to 2010 RCG am I?

I almost never defend a liberal but I must say that RCG has never uttered an *overt* racist epithet.

He does call others racist and he does call Lucrum a North Georgia toothless this and that but he has never used the word cracker or anything like it.

Calling someone a toothless Appalachian is right on the line but it isn't a racial epithet. My family immigrated from Scotland to Kentucky so I guess I'm qualifed to make a judgement call on "toothless Appalachian" because I am one by ancestry though I have all of my teeth due likely to the filthy Los Angeles tap water I drank as a kid, full of minerals don'tcha know. :D

Then RCG Sharpton already has your vote in his pocket! He should be happy to put up a poll about his racism (or lack there of) and put the accusations to rest if he is so noble.

He is calling people racist when it isn't called for so he is Sharpton-like in that regard. He has got a beef with Lucrum and directs alot of crap towards him, not sure why. I'm not defending those aspects just making it clear that he does not say overtly racist stuff.

How about you simply offer proof, any statement I posted at any time that can considered racist. See, when others make those statements I call them what they are, but you are full of shit, so you cannot make the assertion, you do not have the proof.

Again, the readers want your smoking gun, not a popularity contest, beta.
