MoveOn.org has started a petition to get ESPN reporter Chris Broussard immediately suspended from the network for comments he made regarding Jason Collins's homosexuality, which Broussard said was a sin according to his personal Christian beliefs. The group said Broussard was engaging in "gay bashing."

The petition reads:

Chris Broussard's hateful attack on Jason Collins for being gay was an unacceptable misrepresentation of the Christian faith. ESPN must immediately suspend Chris Broussard and guarantee that their network will never again be used for gay bashing.

In its "petition background" statement, the left-wing organization says that after Jason Collins "emphasized the importance of his Christian faith in accepting himself and deciding to come out," ESPN's Broussard "attacked" Collins.

"Shockingly, so far ESPN is standing by Broussard, describing his tirade as 'a respectful discussion of personal viewpoints,'" they write....

So the slimy little whining troll came out of hiding after 13 years. He could have saved himself the time and trouble if he'd read and remembered what Free Republic is all about and has been repeated often.

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, etc.

Good riddance and thanks for the ping, TOL.

You've been busy lately keeping up with the ZOTs, many others have been showing their true colors.

I would like to assist Ursula in the hygiene needed to remove the scum of liberal spittle from the bow of her longboat. She may ping me if assistance is needed.

It’s the Viking thing to do.

They coast along under the radar, but when their panties get in a twist about their favorite issue, their “right to love whomever they please,” they tend to get abusive and flame out.

“After all, I’ve been here for XX years! They can’t possibly zot ME!”

You’re welcome for the ping. [smiles]

Oh hell between the ‘we gotta moderates’ the ‘purists are killing the party’ idiots and the Homophiles, there’s plenty to go around. The Christbashers are just one of the many ‘conservatives’ that insist on making it more liberal by the day.

Jim is dealing with one now on another thread.
