  1. Yes, and 90 percent of Hezbollah's profits go to charity.

    Congrats.

    Doesn't change the fact that they actively advocate discrimination against a class of people.

    If the Tea Party becomes a viable third party, he may be with them.

    Tebow said in an interview about a year ago that he talked with Charlie Crist and expressed an interest in running for office someday, as a hardline Republican. If his career as an undrafted strong safety lasts the three years it is expected to, that will be sooner rather than later.

    If he runs for office someday, will he be running as a closeted gay pretending to be heterosexual? Or just as a hardline Republican?

    Sounds normal to me -- for the line of work he's in.

    Big, I think Crist played quarterback in college. When I worked for the leg there it was kind of an open joke -- that this guy played at a high level of athletics.

    If Tebow has political aspirations of any kind, it would make this move look more pointed than it already does. Not much guile here.

    Yes, this post really suggests you are a guy who is "tolerant" , "open minded" and "enlightened"..... ::)

    I mean, I could just imagine the stampede of people running to whine to the moderators about "bigots and racists" if Hondo or one of the right-wingers around here posted a similarly sarcastic and mocking paragraph about the Homosexual rights mafia or the Civil Rights mafia.......

    Tolerance is a two-way street and you and others of your ilk just don't get to decide when and with who it is OK to be intolerant.

    First of all, I don't run to the Moddy's.

    Homophobes are bigots. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Same as racists. They're bigots. Fact, not opiniion. I can't think why anybody who has an IQ above 60 should be tolerant of them.

    Once again, we live in an era where Idiot America wants to participate in the debate and believes that no how idiotic or offensive their views may be, they deserve equal billing.

    That's why we have people who want "intelligent design" to be taught alongside scientific theory because as the late great Fredo said, in his usual unintentionally hilarious way, "both sides of the debate should be heard".

    No, bigoted people who try to hide their bigotry behind religion are bigoted assholes.

    It's really not that hard.

    Well, he made a rookie mistake. It's the editor in me coming out. I'm only trying to make Waylon better.

    Forgive Timmy...allowing his name and image to be exploited by a coven of homophobes may just be a mistake of youth and inexperience.
    Also, think the NFL will air this ad, given that MoveOn.org and PETA have had recent Super Bowl ads rejected?
    I'd just as soon see this ad run. The last thing we need is Limbaugh Trevenge?), Hannity, Billo, etc. turning Timmy and the thugs into free speech martyrs.
