She has just as much of a right to free speech, as "HE" now has to free expression of immoral behavior!

In some counties/cities/states, it's still against the laws to show expressions of love to your spouse,
but IF YOU ARE GAY/LESBIAN you have every right, and everyone else has to just put up with it?

BAH!

It's a pretty pathetic reporter that can't handle or take the truth," he said. "Maybe she ought to limit herself to covering Girl Scout cookie sales and bake sales - as long as she can control her emotions over the brownies."

If a conservative said this about and NPR reporter or Barbara Walters? All hell would break lose.

" His entry was, "My memory of President Ronald Reagan: Thousands of American men, women and children were dying from HIV and AIDS during his administration. The president did nothing. The president said nothing. Not until the very end of his second term was he even able to utter the word AIDS. Reagan's silence and his administration's policies contributed to the suffering and dying of thousands of men, women and children. I mourn the president the way he mourned these men, women and children - with silence. May God forgive him, I can't. Rick Garcia."

So it had absolutely nothing to do with gay activists treating AIDS as a political tool? It had nothing to do with continued use of dirty needles and risky sexual practices even after those activites were known to spread AIDS?

both Staley and Garcia should be free to express their opinions.

And there's no appropriate time and place for that expression? No, it was not illegal for the poof to make his comments. But it was, as Staley said, tasteless, classless, and the mark of a self-absorbed loser.

"... Reagan's silence and his administration's policies contributed to the suffering and dying of thousands of men, women and children.

Not nearly as much as the actions of those men. Women and children are infrequent victims of AIDS, unless it's passed to them by perverted men. Where's the blame for the CAUSE of the suffering? Oh, I see. Easier to blame the president than your own immorality.

May God forgive him, I can't.

I don't know that God has anything to forgive from Ronald Reagan on that score, (p)Rick. But I reckon YOU'LL have some 'splain' to do.

garcia is 1/3 right. 1000s of gay men were dying. only a very few weman and children died and they did thanks to the gay men.

The other point that he is incorrect about is that Reagan did nothing about AIDS.

The virus was discovered during his administration. His administration was the first to spend tens-of-thousands of dollars on research for the cause and cure.

As usual, gay activists ignore the facts and use the issue for political gain.

The story since has been retold in the Chicago Reader, an alternative weekly publication, as well as on the journalism-related Web site www.Poynter.org, which has a media gossip column where Staley's actions have been harshly criticized.

The media scumbags get the vapors over someone who actually has some decency and class.

Garcia should properly place blame where it rightly belongs. A simple modification of his comments will help him come face-to-face with the REAL TRUTH!
Thousands of American men, women and children were dying from HIV and AIDS during during the decade of the 80s yet the homosexuals, like me, continued with their wreckless, unhealthy, deviant lifestyle to spread the virus. The President did nothing to spread the virus. It was us but we need someone to blame. Could he have said or done anything that would cause us to change our behavior? No, just like nothing any other president has said or done since has stopped us or prevented AIDS. Reagan's silence and his administration's policies was not the cause, it was us. We just don't want to admit the truth as doing so might paint "the alternative lifestyle" in the negative light that it so rightly deserves."

From the title of the article posted I thought that the journalist took a stand agains HIV virus, for what other meaning could one assign to "venom of gay activist"?

"She has just as much of a right to free speech, as "HE" now has to free expression of immoral behavior!"

But it's to our advantage when the looney left keep exposing their flagrant hypocrisy. Let the tinpot tyrants continue to prove to the world their double standards ie., allow them to wallow in their own misery.

Tens of thousands of dollars?

Try $5.7 billion.

Of course, it goes against their deviant core belief system.

Radical militant gays are compulsive about drinking from the river of denial and the HIV positive sperm from the tricks they pick up in darkened parks and restrooms.

Pity the souless ghouls.

Not a pretty picture. It's much easier to blame someone else than be responsible for the consequenses of perversion.

What else would you expect from garcia--he believes that if it feels good, do it. No sense of decorum or self control.
