Rick and Bubba show smear gays.

[Archae]

I've never heard this "Rick and Bubba Show" on the radio, so I have no idea what it's like.

But Rick Burgess is a prize grade-A asshole.

Southern radio hosts mock Obama’s LGBT pride proclamation, condemn LGBT people

Rick Burgess and Bill “Bubba” Bussey, hosts of The Rick and Bubba Show which is syndicated throughout the south, went on what progressive blogger Pam Spaulding described as “incredible homophobic rant about sin, adultery, fornication and everything but the kitchen sink over the fact that the President declared June Pride month.”

1. No surprise! Bet Rick and Bubba have some skeletons in the

closet. Just a matter of time!

6. everyone who is anti-gay must be in the closet?

nice logic

or lack thereof

7. Not everyone, but a lot of them.

Just look at Larry Craig, George Rekers and Ted Haggard.

8. Or that one dude who's more in the barnyard than in the closet.

Suffice it to say, some bigots are just bigots, not repressed and/or self-hating homosexuals.

10. read what I typed again slowly

I did not imply they were gay you did. I said they have skeletons in the closet.....which can mean many things. People that are screaming at the top of their lungs expousing hate against another group of people usually have their own personal issues.

And that logic has born out to many truths has it not....

Do we need to go down the list of Republicans that have done the same think only to engage in the behavior they are bloviating about?

Newt Gingrinch - Contract with America leaves his sick wife on her potential deathbead for a younger mistriss...

Argentena

Rush and his 3 marriages...

Clinton....I did not sleep with that woman

gosh....we could go on

I didn't bring being gay up as the topic of converstation not that there is anyting wrong with being gay, I believe you did.

2. The article claims they are popular in the south, so......

3. Bubba? Rick? I can hear the banjo melody from Deliverance now.

Ding Da
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

Ding Ding Da Ding

Ding Ding Da Ding

Ding Da Ding Da Ding Da Ding Da Ding

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

Repeat real fast or I'll make you squeal like a pig!

4. From the article:

As Towleroad notes, Burgess has since released a statement about his remarks, though it was no apology:

To Whom It May Concern,

The comments that were made by me on the Rick and Bubba show concerning the president's proclamation for the month of June to be declared national gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender month were made from my Biblical world view and by no means was intended to offend or alienate anyone who doesn't share my point of view.

Sincerely,

Rick Burgess

Don't you love it when they use a centuries old book to justify their homophobia? :eyes:

9. Another it's not me it's the listener apology.

I'm not a bigot - you don't understand my religous 'world view'.
