When is it way out of bounds to make fun of someone’s untimely death?
When it’s homophobic.ÂÂ
This, on the other hand, is truly f*cked.

Because of teh hate.
I’m guessing Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson just haven’t gotten word of this yet, or surely they would be outraged and calling for someone to be fired.
Right?
I thought you were behind the sofa.
No matter – it still shows a lack of class. Almost Pon Raulian new*letter lack of class.
gah! there’s a comment eating the pages….
one more should do it….
Mikey,
I’m not excusing it. I’m just fascinated that Think Progress, where one can find all sorts of comments wishing all sorts of conservative demons (including military men and women in harm’s way) ill, and deranged celebrations of their personal misfortunes, finds it so outrageous that someone would make an off-key and unkind joke about someone’s demise . . . not because it’s not funny, not because it mocks a death that is sad and tragic, but because . . . it references a movie character played by the departed who was gay. It’s the insult to the fictional character that’s the cause of the consternation.
That’s the part that is sick.
I think I’ve finally determined where the cosmologists need to look to find the source of the dark matter and dark energy they claim has to be in the universe to explain various observed anomalies.
I think the ThinkProggs opened up a rift in the space-time continuum by grafting the word “Think” onto their ideology.
Dan – we don’t disagree on this or ThinkProgress. I got you were pulling a comparison; sorry about the confusion – that’s my fault. Just for the record.
Dan, you ought to have figured out by now that proggs have no concept of the difference between the real and the imagined. That’s why they call themselves “reality-based” with no hint of irony.
Dogma and Think are not exactly compatible, are they McGehee?
But ThinkDogma has a nice ring to it.
Ha ha ha, well I’m still breathing. There’s the difference right there.
That heartless bastard. That’s just stone cold, that breathing thing.
I’d say the man clearly hates fags. But if one sets out to be the biggest, baddeset fag-hater on the planet, at least you have that chase-a-rainbow I-have-a-dream thing to get you up and motivated each and every morning. That counts for something, as the charge goes.
Oddly, dare I say, his cause requires superior blind motivation, similar in many ways to those heavily deranged by BDS. Yes, an intentioned parallel.
Fag-haters to the left of me, BDS to my right, here I am, stuck in the middle with McCain. Hehehe.
I would consider the remarks tasteless. Banal, even. But when the screaming mimis start in, I’ll find myself circling the wagons with Gibson, who has the right to be tasteless and banal.
Also, and forgive me if I dont see this, but how exactly was the gag homophobic? Just because it references Sully’s favorite gay romance movie doesn’t mean, Q.E.D. that it says “Gays are evil, and gross, and they should DIE DIE DIE.” If you can’t see the difference between this and the Westboro Closet Brigade, then Jonah Goldber has a book you should read.
Andrew, if you reference homosexuality in any way whatsoever without a cock in one of your orifices, you’ve got teh homophobia.
I would say f*ck ’em if they can’t take a joke, but they’d probably enjoy it.
As for Sully, I wrote him off to AIDS-related dementia years ago. Diagnosis unchanged.
“It’s the insult to the fictional character that’s the cause of the consternation.”
Why not? It worked with Murphy Brown.
