Aren't you from Texas? Oh yeah...I get it now.
Real suspect of what? Your stupidity or homophobia?

I brought up his wife's race because he has brought it up a few times in his show on CNN, I can't understand how this whole subject would upset you but don't let it get to you man.

He wasn't kidding and his show on CNN isn't a comedy show. Doubt all you want, you're wrong.

How is this man's wife even germane to the topic? And why is her race so important to you?

You brought that up because you don't like it. Dude...just come clean. Damn!

Jesus dude, can you not read?

"I brought up his wife's race because he has brought it up a few times in his show on CNN"

The guy only has 1 claim to fame in his entire life, he's got a show on CNN where he travels the country and points out how terrible white conservatives are. He never fails to mention his white PHD wife as if she's some get out of jail free card that excuses him from being a ignorant bigot.

He's just like you except he's somewhat wealthy and he doesn't lie all the time.

He's just like me how? And what did I lie about? That take my guns to work everyday and my job approves it?

Yeah...careful who you call a liar. I most certainly remember that oldie but goodie!

You didn't bring up his wife because he mentions it on his show. You really got butthurt over it! Why won't you just tell the truth?

Well, given that there's a lot of Islamophobia around in society - I think it's great that she speaks out on it and calls out people who choose to denigrate and stereotype Muslims.

Unfortunately, the way your words come out is like asking a gay person to stay in the closet. Why CAN'T she say she's a Muslim?

Well at least I know who Bell is now thanks to the OP for digging this out, one nutty writer asks Phelps to give up his spot and it's the "Liburals".


Fantastic story for those that never heard this major story for the last 3 days, who knew. Get it all out of your system now.

Michael Phelps made a fine US standard bearer.
