I'm sorry - he gets a lot of leeway from me for now. ANSWER member or not, this was his son and I'll give him a period of time to say ridiculous things without criticizing him. If, however, he's still spouting the same nonsense, and the media is still quoting him, a few months from now, I too will call him a maggot.
Then he will be in the same category as Kristen butt-wiper or whatever her name is from Peaceful tomorrows.
Yes, you are correct..I should wait. Loosing a son that way is horrible.
