The GOP: Where Intolerance Happens

The NBA likes its current tagline, "Where Amazing Happens." Well, the Republican Party got another taste of honesty from its newly elected chairman, Michael Steele. Apparently, the GOP is not where honestly happens. Well, you can be honest, but it better agree with GOP guidelines.

To make things quick and easy, Steele said in this interview that abortion is an individual choice and that being gay isn't something you choose to do. Both are HUGE no-nos for republicans, and while they are just fine for a person to have as an opinion, they don't like it coming from their de facto leader. Damn your personal opinions, sir, just spout the party mantra of hate and intolerance and be done.

Nevermind that it was republicans who voted to let this man be their leader. Whatever. He tried bringing a hip-hop style to the GOP, and it looks like his career is about to be 187'd.

i think you meant either '86'd' (which is barspeak for getting cut off) or '187'd', which is Eazy-E speak for getting murdered.

No better feeling than correcting a (former) copy editor.

Enjoy the limelight while you can. I corrected myself shortly thereafter, you just beat me to the punch. But kudos to you, sir.
