Sour Grapes

Clockwise from top:  Barry Noreen, John Hazlehurst, Ralph Routon and Rich Tosches

Click here to hear John Weiss whining for "healing" and asking the important questions...like why "Steve Bach won't walk in the Gay Pride Parade."


Quick -- somebody call the man a "waaahhhhmbulance."


SO WHAT?!?  Gay Pride was never one of Steve Bach's campaign platforms.   


Besides, WHO CARES?!?  Lots of people dislike parades like they dislike Ethel Merman's voice; like me, for instance.  I'll come right out and admit that I even dislike the Parade of Lights parade...and only watch if and when my kids' marching bands are in the line up. 

NEWSFLASH: 


Not to rain on anyone's parade, but while there are some who devote an entire year to planning their hella-tacky costumes, decorating their hella-ghetto floats, stenciling their poster-board protests, and practicing high-heel walks and falsetto talks, LET IT HEREBY BE KNOWN THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF US ARE WORRIED ABOUT FAR MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAN YOUR GAY PRIDE PARADE.
 

Listen:  I am tired of pussy-footing around this make-believe and manufactured issue, and refuse to do so any longer.  


The Colorado Springs Independent is a great big gay megaphone, with the Gazette increasingly following suit...allowed to shout down as "bigots" and "bullies" anyone who would disagree or dare to adhere to alternative points of view.


Well, those aren't the first or the worst "B" words I've been called, boys; bring it:  I can handle it -- hell, I'm used to it.  


Believe it or not -- more often than not -- that's what happens when one decides to roll with the punches, rather than tiptoe about on eggshells; one develops what is known as a "thick skin"...and learns to do other things besides nursing one's wounds, examining one's bruised ego, and rubbing salve on ones chapped ass.


I have had it with the constant crying about this and that perceived injustice; WHATEVER.  


WANNA KNOW WHAT'S UNFAIR, FOLKS?  THAT THE GAZETTE HIRES "OPINION" WRITERS LIKE BARRY NOREEN AND THE DEARLY-DEPARTED MARK BARNA...AND THE INDY EMPLOYS RICH TOSCHES AND JOHN HAZLEHURST...AND THESE SHAMELESS, UNAPOLOGETIC LEFTIST MOUTHPIECES OF DUBIOUS TALENT* ACTUALLY GET PAID FOR AND GET AWAY WITH SAYING WHATEVER DERISIVE THING THEY WANT ABOUT CONSERVATIVES...ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR OH-SO-TOLERANT AND ALL-ACCEPTING BLEEDING HEARTS.


But conservatives are all expected to keep their mouths shut.  


WELL, HERE'S ANOTHER NEWSFLASH:  


Conservatives can be tolerant too; we keep tolerating this kind of crap from the left, don't we?
 
I hope you understand what it is I'm about to say...but if the left has Dr. Tosches irreverently clobbering their funny bones with that little rubber hammer thing, then the right has Spydra...and my schtick is all mine and all free -- WHADDA BARGAIN, FRIENDS.


This conservative black woman considers Weiss' KKK crack to be ENTIRELY out of line, uncalled for, and indicative of the true, blue little bigot he really is -- a hella-wealthy, angry little hypocrite who doesn't give a damn about what kind of dishonest garbage he spews or whom might take offense.  I guarantee you, this was not the song Weiss was singing when the boat made out of black people happened to jerk *my* chain.


For more on this story -- including some withering commentary from Weiss' soul-brother and fellow raisinette, Barry Noreen -- click here.






*Unlike Noreen and Tosches, John Hazlehurst is an excellent writer...and so is Ralph Routon, though to a slightly lesser degree.  I liked them both a lot more when they *weren't* writing for the Independent -- now, back on the Indy's payroll, their mutual lopsidedness detract from their innate talent.
