FAIR:
"In April 2003, Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly hosted a fundraiser for Best Friends, a charity benefiting inner-city schoolchildren. As reported in the Washington Post (4/15/03), O'Reilly was trying to fill the time before a singing group connected with the charity, called the Best Men, was set to perform, and quipped: "Does anyone know where the Best Men are? I hope they're not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps."
Plenty more examples where that came from.
(Somewhere out there is his deplorable behavior during the Katrina aftermath. Specifically, (as I recall) he duplicitously acted as if he could use his proported 'powers' to "get helecoptors down there" to pick up the stranded poor.)
You’re Next, Sean Hannity

And so on, and so forth.
I could always see right through Don Imus. He's the type of bigot that shuts doors before he rails on (random ethnicity here,) touting his 'accomplishments' in the service of his fellow-whatever in public. Too bad people just can't seem to keep it all wrapped up all the time.
The others above are a different breed of bigot. In my opinion, they are much worse as they have an overtness to their bigotry, which sings like a lovesong to the closed-door and wide open bigot masses alike.
I can't recall a time that "no offense, but" or "Is it just me, or..?" rhetoric had not resulted in a fist being hurled at a face were it at arm's length. Sadly, these people enjoy life isolated within a bubble of delusion: you can't easily avoid seeing them, nor can you ever touch them, but they don't even care you're out there. They couldn't possibly care less what your disagreements are (unless you're GM or some other massive conglomerate;) but you must live out here in the world that results from their perpetuation of the full gamut of bigotries.
Bigotry, including 'religiously sanctioned' bigotry, as with Homosexuals, is not politics. Nor is bigotry social commentary. As plainly as I can say it, bigotry is bigotry. It is hatred and a quest toward institutional descrimination, despite the 'acceptability' advertisers seem to have for it when supporting a popular show.
To support the well-being of any radio or TV program, newspaper or other publication that (however it is spun as otherwise) perpetuates bigotry is bigotry in itself. It is a message of support and 'a job well done' for bigots and their bigoted agenda.
Until these gigantic, sloppy assed money cows realize that- until we come right out and 'lay the cards face up on the table,' as that bigot Glenn Beck used, they'll still be on the air, eating steaks and driving nice cars, signing autographs and whatever the fu*k rich bigots like to do with their dirty, dirty money.
Whew!

Thanks for listening. This crap really bothers me.
