No. You're missing what I'm saying. I don't reasonably expect Donahue to care about what Hardaway said (except for possibly loving it so much that he has elevated Hardaway to #2 on his People I Love list, comfortably sandwiched between Jesus and the Virgin Mary.).

Of course he doesn't care, he has said just as many hateful, disgusting things. You asked why a group like GLAAD wouldn't condemn the statements. I said, because it wasn't a big deal -- it was something out of nothing.

The big point, is that Donahue is a ****head extraordinaire. He is so angry about someone using trashy language to attack Catholic positions on different issues, but he attacks people in the same way, and we're supposed to care what he says? Like he should hold weight in any public discourse about comments targeted at anything?
