Nothing is sacred. Nothing. Religion, race, sexual preference, whatever. It's all fair game. It's when people hate and hurt when it's a problem (could I sound like a bigger hippie right now?).

Chances are if Jay in fact read the letter and he is the bigot that the author says he is, he'd probably think, "Fucking queen.." and send it straight to his garbage. It wouldn't change his mind and it might give him great material (for a change).

If you don't like Jay's "gay-bashing" jokes, change the channel. If you hear the same insipid jokes on the street, don't listen and keep walking. Let the morons revel in their stupidity. It's not your job to enlighten idiots. Because they won't understand. You'd probably have better luck trying to convince a brick wall to have a three way with you and a blind puppy.

All I know is that it's hard to call Jay Leno, bigot or no, a comedian. Bugger ain't funny.

No bugger ain't.

Beyond that. Should the same 'change the channel' logic be applied to people like those at the Westboro Baptist Church, the 700 Club or the pre-1940s rhetoric of an Adolph Hitler for instance?

Changing Hitler's channel became impossible after a while.

No.. I disagree. 'Anything goes' is not legit.

If it were I could legtimately say "all white stragiht men are stupid fuckers without souls" and you'd have to condone the saying. It'd be 'fair game'. But I don't think it would float too well now would it?

And what, pray tell, do you think promotes people to 'hate and hurt' if not this very kind of verbiage?
