Thread: May you burn in hell

Would you continue to support a celebrity, journalist, political pundit that repeatedly uttered the words 'may you burn in hell' when talking about someone who had different political views?

Would you complain? Demand they be taken off the air? Would you expect that the media would pick this up and have a field day with it?

Or is it their right to say it and you wouldn't bat an eye if you were listening to someone and they said this?

I give up. Who's saying this?

Does it matter?
Let's just say Glenn Beck when talking about John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and JFK.

Oh come on Davo. Some one as smart as the dude in your pic wouldn't give up that easy!

I wouldn't demand that they be taken off the air, but I would be yelling back at the TV or radio, saying how much of a pussy that commentator was and pointing out his faults.

They can say whatever they want. Hell, if they came on TV and said that my Mom wears army boots, I wouldn't care. I'm not ultra-sensitive like that.

Let's say it was regarding a person who just died and he was reporting it.

It depends. If he/she were a comedian and that was their catch phrase it may or may not be funny, depending on how good of a comedian they are. If he/she was a serious journalist, I might question their integrity.

It's not terribly objective is it?

A political pundit on a public nationally syndicated show. Like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. Would you call this person a hate monger?

Was it me Freckles? Yesterday I said I hoped that lady who caused that teenage girl to committ suicide would burn in hell.
