What you should be is outraged that Rush would make such a statement which, even in jest, is an very ugly insult to all women. To even suggest that a man marrying another man is marrying up, even in jest as I said, is a total insult to you and all other women.
In his heart of hearts I believe that Rush meant what he said. If he did not secretly believe it I do not believe he would have made the statement ... unless he is really stupid. He is very mean spirited. If you do not believe me I can give you other quotes that are in very bad taste and show his complete lack of regard or respect for others. He is anything, in his comments, but Christian.
If Obama made the reverse statement in jest what would your reaction be?
