Glenn Beck has reached a new nadir in his attempt to be a pig.
Meghan McCain made a commercial alerting people to the dangers of skin cancer. Both of her parents are skin cancer survivors. Glenn reacts on his radio show.
What I don’t understand is how Beck can go on Faux News at 5 almost as the Reverend Mr. Beck and talk about honor and humility, then have a radio show where this type of behavior is often the order of the day. Why would he make fun of someone’s personal appearance (he should be so lucky!) or make fun of a serious message about a killer disease?
Mock vomiting over a person is simply adolescent. The sooner his business dries up, the better. He owes the McCain family an apology. Time to grow up, Glenny.
While John McCain continues to fight a repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, his wife, Cindy McCain, seems just as determined to help the other side. Of course John McCain has done a flip flop on this issue, like many others when he decided he wasn’t quite conservative enough to win re-election to his senate seat without a major make-over.
“Our government treats the LGBT community like second class citizens,” the senator’s wife says later in the video.
Though Cindy McCain has spoken out on behalf of gay rights in the past, the video still came as a surprise to some gay rights activists.
“I’m astonished and impressed as hell,” John Aravosis wrote on Americablog Gay. “The woman basically accused her husband of sharing the blame for gay kids killing themselves.”
Cindy McCain previously appeared in the NOH8 campaign, which opposed California’s gay-marriage ban.
John McCain is traveling overseas this week and his press secretary could not be reached immediately for comment.
What must it be like at the McCain dinner table these days? Cindy works for equality for gals and young Ms. Meghan McCain works for The Daily Beast and is about as moderate of a Republican as one can get and still be considered a Republican.
Young gays have the highest rate of suicide in the nation. It is easy to understand why when one considers the messages they hear from our churches and politicians. Do these messages increase the bullying that happens to these young people?
