Roger Ebert on Ron Paul

[A. Havnes]

I don't think Robert Ebert should be subject to ridicule because he's uninformed. However, Ron Paul is not a homophobe by any stretch of the imagination. Why wouldn't he use the word "queer?" People used to use it all the time! Ever read The Lord of the Rings? Those little Hobbits use the word quite frequently in their conversations. An older man like Ron Paul is definately not going to find anything wrong with the word because he knows the actual meaning of it.

Besides, if it had been me, the language I would've used would have been a lot worse. Not to mention, I may have been arrested for assault.

Also, does anyone but me find it weird that when a guy dupes an older man into entering a private room and then proceedes to drop his pants and make sexual advances on the older guy (who has no idea that it's not real), and the older man walks out with the words, "Queerer than blazes!" that the audience shriekes because the victim used such offensive language? We have potential rapist vs. the guy who reacts with the word "queer". Which is more offensive to you?

Main issue is why Bruno setup RP? It looks like he wanted to ridicule RP, because a man dropping his pants in front of another man invited under a false pretence is probably more creepy than anything else. It does not help homosexuality in America in anyway.

Ebert rants are a fuss about nothing, Bruno probably wears the said term as a badge of honor considering his youth training in holy land.

Apparently not, or he wouldn't have made the comments about Dr. Paul that he did.

Yep. He's a great reviewer, but just check out his reviews of political films. He seems to lose his objectivitiy when he's fawning all over the likes of Gore and Michael Moore.
