Anti-gay comments condemned

BROWARD SCHOOL BOARD

Anti-gay comments condemned

Tuesday's board meeting attracted dozens of supporters of the We Are Family DVD, but the cartoon's future in classrooms remains uncertain.

Barney and Big Bird didn't make much progress toward appearing in Broward public schools at a School Board meeting Tuesday.
But many who support the diversity DVD starring those beloved children's characters left the meeting with a sense of victory anyway.

The reason: School Board members condemned anti-gay comments made by some diversity committee members, who are appointed by the board.

''There were unfortunate things said at the meeting. I repudiate those,'' said School Board member Marty Rubinstein. ``Any attack on the gay community I liken to the Nazi attack on Jews during World War II.''
(snip)

During the diversity committee's discussion, Steve Kane, a radio talk show host and member of the committee, said, 'Even in the liberal group, they understand that these people are trying to mess with our kids' minds and introduce all kinds of activities in the name of tolerance.''

Unless there are two Steve Kane radio hosts in South Florida, this is the genius who shot off his mout', imagining everyone wanted to hear his views.

I am sure you are an inspiration to all your mouth breathing followers.

2. How do anti-gay people get appointed to a "Diversity Board?"
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 06:13 AM by IanDB1
The same way a War Criminal gets appointed Attorney General?

3. Oh, yes. You got the right son of a bitch...

... Kane is and has always been a no-talent hack. His presence in South Florida goes back some twenty plus years where his one consistency has been: mediocrity.

Where others who either came up (Randi Rhodes) or were a presence (Neil Rogers) at the same time as Steve have progressed in presence, station penetration, and salary, dear old Steve now finds himself on some low watt AM band station for which he barely registers on any of the monthly radio audience surveys.

He's a blow-hard who sometimes in the way distant past trended left but since his professional decline now has completely gone to the dark side.

....which is good because frankly he's consistently over the years such an imbecile that any decent progressive would never want this pile of shit on their side to begin with.

Whatever "glory" days Steve had are long, long past. He's the dictionary definition of a "has been."

5. Did you ever notice they got that vacant stare nailed?
How many hours do they spend practicing that or does it come naturally?
