gawker.com = hatecriminals
Today is Thursday, 7 September 2006.
There’s a pretentious very minor blot, er . . . blog, “gawker.com”, which purports to purvey “daily Manhattan media news and gossip, Reporting live from the center of the universe”. Mainly gossip and fluff, mainly sophomoric sub-frat boy. Definitely homophobic.
I often browse gawker.merde, because there is an occasional nugget of news. So I couldn’t help but notice repeated homophobic mocking of Anderson Cooper of CNN. I’ve been tempted to write a column on this, but I hate to give publicity to KKKluxers like Coulter and gawker.bigots. But, as with Coulter, there are lines which can be crossed.
In a post yesterday, gawker.himmler wrote about Mr. Cooper’s “… post-Yale stint "studying Vietnamese" at the University of Hanoi. Nothing wrong with disclosing your closeted anchor's proximity to a hotbed of child sex slaves.”
Don’t ya just love that sophisticated, I-just-moved-to-NYC-from-a-“Christian”-white-Right-death-squad-training-camp-in-Mississippi-where-we-castrated-ten-of-‘em-before-breakfast-every-mornin' logic: gay = pedophile.
This sort of casual, causal homophobia furnishes the patina of respectability for the thugs who take the cue, and take this attitude to the next “logical” step: physical assaults against lesbians and gays, and then all the way to murder.
Would that “gawker.com” had the common decency to come clean, as it were, and re-name itself “gawker.hatecriminals”.
