I thought I was pretty informed, in fact, I often say that "nothing surprises me anymore". But to see that such obvious bigotry is still in the mainstream...it just turns my stomach. I was never a big fan of Bill Maher, but I could never explain why. There was just something...'off' about him. Now I understand why my gut was telling me to stay away. Shame on him, and the network, for spewing forth such vicious ideas.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171428636839043425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-15733413833960256592010-12-12T18:27:21.115-05:002010-12-12T18:27:21.115-05:00Sorry.

It's become fashionable among American liberals to make cheap jokes about fat powerchair users. Somehow people have got the idea that they're all in the Tea Party so that makes it okay.<br /><br />It's not okay. If we want to call ourselves progressives we should be fighting bigotry like this, not creating it.<br /><br />So thank you for your letter. I hope Maher, and some other lefties who need to see your message, pay attention.Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415989880473044852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-30535820116133399202010-12-12T10:13:03.535-05:002010-12-12T10:13:03.535-05:00Shocking that anyone with the responsibility of be...Shocking that anyone with the responsibility of being a public personality would stoop to such ignorance--but it shouldn't be.
