25. Maybe it was his comments...
...that women aren't funny (his sexism against women comedians). He's not a nice person. Never has been. All these comments about his fund raising mean nothing. It has nothing to do with whether the man is a bigot, sexist or anything else. It's just people's way of being dismissive and of avoiding the real issue.

People come to these boards everyday to complain about gw and how horrible it is to live under his regime, as a middle class person, etc., etc. But when anyone reminds them that he declared war on an entire segment of our population(glbt) all we hear is,"lalalalala, I'm not listening." :shrug:
