Mr. Smith Beats Crap Out Of Obama

Culture If Mr. Smith Went To Washington— Today

“ 12-year-old ChristianU2uber, whose video arguing same-sex marriage is morally wrong resulted in a stream of responses that called him a “fag in denial” and suggested he “kill Christianity, and then kill yourself.” The response was so vicious, WND reported, that Internet crime specialists in Texas tracked down the boy and his family and persuaded ChristianU2uber to remove the videos and receive counseling. 14-year-old girl from Ventura County, Calif.  has been forced off the site by the cruelty she faced for protesting the admission of transgender boys into the Girl Scouts. And this from the WSJ: The Secrets of Tebow Hatred  It's easy to see why legions of loyalists lavish love on 24-year-old Tim Tebow, who leads his underdog Denver Broncos in a crucial playoff game against the New England Patriots on Saturday night. Yet other fiercely focused fans feel no hesitation at expressing their contempt and loathing for a remarkable athlete whose behavior on field and off exemplifies the values of hard work, fearlessness and concern for the downtrodden. A popular website called TebowHaters.com serves as a clearinghouse for denunciations, while Jeff Darlington of NFL.com got a big response for a survey on what offended fans most about the Broncos quarterback. An Orlando, Fla., radio station (WJRR) used crude language promoting a public campaign to terminate Mr. Tebow's well-advertised virginity and to break his pledge to save himself for marriage. Bill Maher, acerbic tribune of "Real Time" on HBO, got into the holiday spirit last month by celebrating a Denver loss and tweeting: "Wow. Jesus just f---- #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve!" Novelist and blogger Drew Magary proudly declares on the sports website Deadspin.com: "Not only is it OK to root against Tim Tebow, it's practically your duty as cynical Americans." It is a cultural thing,  For me the acid test in these matters is—  if  Frank Capra were to make a movie about any of these three people, who would be the villain? The hero?  Which culture would moviegoers want to live in?  Tebow's, or one where the President of the United States gives a thumbs-up to an army of filthy, disease carrying anarchists?  KISS. ”
