Devious Journal Entry

Nasty, Bad, Pagans....

So, yesterday, I was on my myspace, and I got a bulletin regarding something Kathy Lee Gifford stated on national television the other day. The clip was about origins of wedding traditions..and the question was, "What were the origins of wearing the wedding band on the left ring finger?"...one of the answers was that it was a tradition bourne out of Pagan origins..and Kathy referred to the Pagans as, "those nasty, bad pagans"....which had me in a complete uproar. I am Pagan, and the reason I am is because I found that they were most tolerant of other religious factions, nature cycle based, and that witches run in the family(being from England and all). I couldn't believe that she was allowed to make such a racist comment without reprimanding or repercussions of her actions. Don Eimus got fired over his comment of "Knappy headed hoes"...when his job description is to be a "shock jock"...but Kathy Lee attacks a religion, and nothing is done...Two months ago, Al Roker makes fun of epileptics on air, and all he does is make a half assed apology the next day durning some routine commentary....if this county insists on being so goddam politically correct, then go across the friggen board people, and make EVERYONE subject to the same dam rules...otherwise, recognize the constitutional right of Freedom of Speech, and don't attack anyone.....I could care less what Kathy Lee has to say about Pagans...because she's ignorant, so I just take what spews outta her mouth with a grain of salt, but if this country is going to attack people like Don Eimus, then EVERYONE should be held accountable as well across the board for racist remarks.

Whoa... I agree with you! I didn't know she said that, but being a Wiccan, that REALLY pisses me off! ESPECIALLY if she doesn't have to apologize for it! Goodness.... That is just ridiculous stupidity and ignorance on her part.... The worst part is that a young, impressionable kid might see that and feel bad about who they are or who their parents are now! :angered:

I thought it was stupid that they pulled Eimus off the air. He wasn't half bad, anyway. I would have made the remark too. Though, I don't really pay attention to Kathy Lee, mostly because she's not that funny. What jokes she makes are stupid. Comedians seem to never be held responsible as long as someone finds it funny. I want to know why, if you say something about a black person, you're INSTANTLY in trouble, while if you pick on anything, Pagans for this instance, nothing is done. Society is retarded. I swear.
Wow. I can't believe she is allowed to say something like that! Those other people got repremanded for things that weren't even as bad as that. And yet nothing happens to her? What is wrong with the world today? :disbelief:

Unfortunately, many african americans still like to pull the race card, but they won't comdem their own when they do it.

I did sign a petition that is being sent to Msnbc demanding that she make an on air apology, but I doubt it will be done....I just hate when things aren't held across the board the same for everyone....and the U.S wonder why people are infuriated all the time....we haven't been a true democracy in a looooooooooooooooong time.

That's why we have so many problems. You can't smack their hands sometimes, and don't do it others.
