2. I know.
The rest of the family seemed to like her. I wonder what the conversation between them was like after the show.

3. How sad that so many people have to express their patriotism thru denying it to others.
Ellen's classy, of course, offering to have them on her show to play a game on her show. Of course that poor dad may think flying out to California means he'd be leaving the country.

12. Spot on. They build themselves up by putting others down.
Something people should learn is wrong by about age 6.

31. Isn't that the game where they get dropped down in the water or a hole if they're wrong?
I would love to see him play that.

Ellen I wouldn't take them to heart there are plenty of folks that wouldn't question your patriotism for a second. Things are going through changes it's just a little to dramatic for some folks but they'll come around, it's the only way forward. No-one can cling to the past forever, they'll adapt to their new environment, it's ... evolution.

10. I would bet a fortune that this guy is a Faux news consumer. Ignorant, mis-informed and detatched
from reality.

I like your responce however, which was compasionate and in the final analysis, how we are going to win over these folks hearts and minds.

Too often I find myself hating the hater, which will never change them, but will only create a counter force and continue the cycle.

I guess they have been taught that gays hate America or something. What kind of a world do these people want to live in?

Urbanhip123 There is a difference between being "Gay" and being a "Lesbian". Does she really think of herself as being "Gay"?

27. I am curious too. But I would guess that this person thinks 2 girls is OK
No even better than OK - exciting. Bring it on.
My feeling is that almost all the hate about homosexuals is aimed at men.

33. She probably made his point, at least in his mind and the mind of conservatives.
For most conservatives it isn't enough to love your own country, it is also necessary to hate others for being different.

18. Taking this a step further, American Idol hired Ellen, so they must love her. If they love Ellen
and Ellen hates America, then American Idol must hate America.

20. So daddy was a teabagger...
It seems like Family Feud would draw a lot of teabaggers:
-It's one of the stupidest shows on television.
-The contestants are families(check) of very enthusiastic(check) but usually not very bright people(check!).
It's a show I just can't watch because the stupid just burns too much. One of the family members will give the stupidest answer you could possibly imagine, and all the others will start clapping and shouting "Good answer! Good answer!" like that will somehow make the answer less stupid.

What a teabagger Mecca this show must be. I imagine they get a lot of them on, they are probably just discouraged from giving politicized answers in the pre-show orientation.

40. I loved the old Family Feud
John O'Hurley is, I guess, funny in his own way, but Richard Dawson was a gas. The getting to kiss all the girls, and the sheer disbelief on his face when someone said something really, really stupid.... He pretty much pwned all the idiots on the show.

She doesn't like "our" rather than "her" country, as if she doesn't belong.

25. I've given this some thought...
I think the old duffer is confused about famous Lesbians. I think he was thinking of Rosie O'Donnell. Ellen is never controversial, unlike Rosie. And some old white farts don't like women who are outspoken.

26. Well you know what they say
You've seen one lesbian you've seen them all.
It has to suck to wake up every day feeling weak,and useless. I get the feeling Dad must have spent some time wearing a dunce cap when they got home.

I had no clue and could not comprehend it.

29. In all fairness, regarding the comment Ellen made about the clapping family.
I would suspect the families are instructed by the show's producer(s) to clap after every answer, no matter how bizarre. This helps keep the energy going and creates excitement.

In this case I saw one member of the family refrain for a noticeable moment as she was thrown-off by the response, as if she was thinking about whether or not she should applaud.

But "Family Feud" has never been the same without...

32. I agree, it is hard to know what was going through their minds at the time.
Sometimes people react in excitement out of shear embarrassment. You couldn't really see their reactions at the time he said it, only at the time they showed that nobody had gotten the answer.

I would have loved to hear the conversation between family members later on--obviously at least one person in the family had a fairly positive attitude toward her.

37. Ellen DeGeneres loves America (and other countries!) and I love her.
The world needs more Ellens and a hell of a lot fewer Mr. Suttons.

39. that video is so crazy
it's like a parody of what a RWer might say, like a random "why do you hate America", but he actually said it.

And the perkiness of the rest of the family is just too funny. Maybe they have driven him insane over the years.
