3. Good stuff there Lawrence, BUT...

Just a couple of things- Don't reach for stuff that isn't there. He's given you plenty to work with without having to resort to right wing tactics.

Viz:
The "squashed" comment: It was plain to me that he wasn't saying you should squash your kids. He was saying you should squash the 'aberrant' behavior & nip it in the bud.

The "smell like a girl" comment: Again, taken in context, he's talking about girls who play sports and who are getting too "butch". He's saying you should force them to be more 'feminine' (Obviously his definition of feminine) I understood the "smell like a girl" remark to mean don't be all sweaty from playing sports and wear perfume.

This guy's comments were plenty appalling without resorting to inventing things. We've spent the last couple of months in this forum bashing Rush Limbaugh for doing exactly that. Don't fall into that trap.

On the plus side, this is the first time I've heard that last clip where he's injecting politics into the sermon. Kudos for leaving that in. It takes this thing to a whole new level.

Lastly- everybody listen to the the murmurs of approval from the audience when this clown is giving his sermon. That is maybe as disturbing as anything else in the clip.
