Slog - Comments on Pardon Me... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/pardon_me ...But did Al Sharpton just call Anderson Cooper a big huge fag or something? The transcript: SHARPTON:..I think Senator Obama is right. None of us leave our personal convictions or religious feelings at the door. But we also respect the fact that everyone doesn't have to have those same convictions in the public marketplace. So, I may have some very conservative personal feelings, but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I might think what you do, Anderson, is going to put you in hell, but I'm going to defend your right to get there. So,...

He doesn't respect homosexuality, so why would he respect Cooper's privacy?

I mean, granted Anderson's a closeted queer, but I'm sure he's got some skeletons in there with him, as well. The phrase "what you do" just means sin in general, not just bumtouching.

But, then, I have no idea about AC's sexuality - or care about it.

It's just not the "out" the majority of 'mos think he should be. Why they think we all need to announce our homosexuality to everyone, I don't know.

Perkins wants to put up barricades on the Road to Hell. They're about to arm-wrestle over who gets to convert him.

Sadly, the video clip ends before the door opens and the Spanish Inquisition sweeps into the room.
