That's pretty hateful.
No kidding.
I would like to see some in context quotes also.
That's pretty hateful.
If it's true, maybe. How verifiable is the story?
Is that all you have? Something years back, when she was a college student? How about something more modern. Something that fits "hate" in any of her shows.
Surely, it's well do ented by liberals.
If the article is true, it goes on to say, immediately after the point you stopped quoting:
People change. Again, have an example that's not 23+ years old?In the magazine she called association members "cheerleaders for latent campus sodomites." (In 1997, more than a decade later, she wrote an article in the Washington Post detailing how she had changed her views in light of her brother Curtis' coming out as gay.)
Is that all I have? I guess. It took me all of 5 seconds to find that. You all didn't ask for a specific number of examples. I suppose I could find more if I felt it necessary.
Why do you have such a hard-on about defending her? I already said I didn't think she was any worse than any of the rest. These people aren't infallible just because the espouse certain viewpoints. They're talking heads who get paid to create controversy and rile up listeners.
I have listened to her from time to time. I don't see the stated hate in her, at least not anymore than how political in differences get expressed.
In an attempt to find the validity of your quote, even wikipedia has a remark to the effect, without naming her. However, it was marked "citation needed." I went to the Dartmouth Review website and found nothing on an archive search. This is apparently nothing more than vicious rumor.
It would be nice to see anything that propels this past expressing anger for the truth of others actions.
I made some progress. The 1997 Washing Post article is led “Test of Devotion; What My Gay Brother Taught Me About Tolerance,” February 23, 1997. It is a copywriter article requiring a subscription or payment, which I don't have. Here is an excerpt I could find:
Does this sound like the voice of hate?But at the same time, in the 10 years since I learned my brother Curtis was gay, my views and rhetoric about sexuality have been tempered — not because Curtis proselytizes on gay rights, but because I have seen him and his companion, Richard, lead their lives with dignity, fidelity and courage. By refusing to give in to bitterness or defeat in the face of a relentless disease, they have shown me what C.S. Lewis meant when he wrote that our ideology and faith must leave room for tolerance and empathy. I now regret that at Dartmouth we didn’t consider how callous rhetoric can wound — how someone like Barney Frank must have felt — not to mention how it undermined our political point…
…Where 10 years ago my reaction to the idea of gay marriage was a reflexive, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I am now less dismissive. Without a legal marriage, Curtis and Richard not only miss out on tax advantages and employer health and pension benefits (outside of San Francisco), there is undeniable emotional strain as well. “I’m his caretaker,” Curtis told the emergency room nurse as we registered Richard in the hospital. Although I understood the word had become part of the AIDS lexicon by necessity, knowing what they had been through together made it sound antiseptic, almost an insult.
she looks rather mannish, imo.
At quick glance, she's ok looking. Then you look at her more closely and gross.
Here, on her wikipedia page, she looks manish. Not hot.
I'd JO all over her T's but she isn't as hot as conservative writers try to make it sound she is.
She's like a 6.7
women's makeup and photoshop airbrushing are amazing tools
Would that be because she is comfortable in her own skin, and no excess makeup?
I guess because she doesn't rely on heavy makeup like your hooker girlfriend, you know what a woman should look like. The most makeup I have seen her wear is the fourth photo I linked, when she was on "The View." Bet that was their idea, not hers.
What a big solid "MEH"
I'd rather have that stuck up conservative that wears those intentionally ugly glasses and goes by initials. She probably isn't as tore up as Ingraham too. Someone here on Spurstalk used to have this chick in his sig...it's like C.W. Sweet s or something like that.
I know what a man looks like. In this photo, she looks like a man wearing lipstick and sporting a beauty shop hair cut, imo.Would that be because she is comfortable in her own skin, and no excess makeup?
I guess because she doesn't rely on heavy makeup like your hooker girlfriend, you know what a woman should look like.
To each his own though.
I take it you have a transves e girlfriend then?
No.
I take it you've never seen a transves e "girl"?
Oh, they are prominent enough in downtown Portland. She doesn't look anything like even a good female impersonator, or T-Girl. I take it your inexperience with women keeps you from seeing what they look like without makeup.
So you know what a good T-girl looks like in downtown Portland?
I dont know what you are looking at in these pictures.....Laura clearly has makeup on.
So she hated gay people until she watched her brother be one. That does not make her tolerant.
I dunno bout Transves es, but that gal has alot of horse in that face.
Tolerance is not always initiated internally. It is possible to develop as events dictate.
Oh yeah...whats her name? She's freaking hot in that nasty schoolgirl way.
Oh yeah...S E Cupp...
Hey lefties...
Why is it OK for Shirley Sherrod to change her mind about whites, and be thought of in a good light, but not OK for Lara to change her stance on gays without the criticism?
Would you want to be held accountable for your past mistakes, that you don't have different perspectives on today?
I see no indication that the experience has made her more tolerant towards any other groups.
