As for what we should do? I say: the more we pick at the scab the longer it festers. Ignore these media hounds. They’re in it for the money and any publicity garners them more.

The trick is to somehow get something overwhelming negative associated with Huckabee or Coulter…the likes of what Don Imus had when he made sexist/racist statements on air. Maybe Coulter’s comment about single mothers will do it. And I do think Coulter is dangerously close to the edge of falling out of the public’s favor. The public’s need for Mike and Ann’s form of entertainment is finicky…

But, again, you have to steer away from giving these people any more publicity. They THRIVE on it. Once they have had a taste of notoriety, they want more. It’s an addiction and perhaps we should pity them.

I’ll stick to PBS shows if I can get my digital to analog converter hooked up before next month.

Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but I think we live in times more dangerous than a lot of us are willing to admit. All over the gay blogosphere, I see these comments that the religious right is just “desperate” and that they’ll soon disappear because time is on our side. I don’t think it’s that simple; if it were, then we would have had full equality a long time ago, not 30 states where we are constitutionally forbidden from marrying.

It’s worth pointing out that even Mussolini dismissed Hitler as a “silly little monkey” after they met in 1934, but we all know what happened within a few years.

Maybe we ought to start trying to get Fox to fire Huckabee and/or get more newspapers to drop Coulter’s column. Pressuring companies that advertise during Huckabee’s show might be a start.

I do think the GOP will regroup and win elections in the future, but they have to push people like Coulter and Huckabee to the sidelines in order to do that. With the moderates completely disgusted with the party that might take some time.

Best thing for me was Huckabee raising his hand and saying “scout’s honor,” and couldn’t even give the scout salute right. What happened to that part in the Scout Oath “to help other people at all times…?”

I can’t just dismiss them as “nosy next-door neighbors.” Huckabee might run for president in 2012.

Where is this country going?
