Use The Word Faggot, Go Directly to Rehab

According to news sources:

Life & Style EXCLUSIVE: Isaiah Washington Enters Treatment Facility! http://lifeandstylemag.hollywood.com/2007/01/life_style_exclusive_isaiah_wa.php

When I first read this, I thought, "Rehab. Well, maybe he has a drug or alcohol problem that caused him to blurt out the word "faggot" on the set of "Grey's Anatomy", and again live on the Golden Globes stage.

Turns out his comments were not driven by alcohol or drugs. The article states (rather unabashedly, I might add):

According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC executives.

A "Psychological Assessment."

For using the word "faggot."

Washington is going into Rehab for using a word.

Now, let's be very clear about this. In the wacky world of the left - in particular, the world of homosexual militancy - anything that is spoken against gay behavior is considered "hate speech." Remember how Rosie got her panties all in a jam after Kellie Rippa told a country singer not to touch her mouth, because "I don't know where that hand has been"?

After Rosie accused her comment as being "homophobic" on The View, Rippa called in and ripped Rosie a new one for interpreting her comment through Rosies obsession with her own lesbianism.

Rippa was right.

It seems that any speech deemed offensive by the gay rights groups is considered "homophobic." They have been SO successful at this ploy of turning a moral opinion into a disease - by adding the clinical term "phobic" to the word "homo" - that those who engage in ANY speech against homosexuality are automatically guilty of a mental disorder, and therefore need to be treated CLINICALLY for that disorder.

Hence, Washington's dilemma:

“ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he would say such hateful words,” the insider says.

Now, the issue isn't just hateful words. If this were so, much of the Left in America would be in therapy right now for its hatred of George Bush.

No, the issue is the thoughts of those who stand for ideals that differ from the Left's hard-won mainstreaming of their non-morality. Only THEN is speech considered hate-speech. Classifying it as such, and throwing it into the category of a mental disorder - a "phobia" - justifies the Left's penchant for engaging in thought control.

And, through this, speech control.

Censorship, in other words.

So, use the word "Faggot," and you are guilty of offending, you are guilty of hate speech, and you are diagnosed with a mental disorder.

Your punishment?

Go directly to Therapy - do not pass the Constitution, do not collect your First Amendment rights.
