Anyone think they are a little out of control? I'm all for organizations that help bring up and support a certain group of people. But, taking the comments from comedians literally and attacking them in public is a bit much don't you think? First Vince Vaughn and now Tracy Morgan.

If anyone can shine a light on something that I'm missing that would be great, or am I right to think GLAAD is getting out of hand?

I'm sure they are. Most special interest groups are extremely sensitive and defensive.

We as a society are way too sensitive. I wish people would stop apologizing when one of these groups goes after them. It's a comedy routine, I wish he would have told this group to go to hell.

agreed. Complaing about things like leaving out a part of the pledge in a tv spot is being too sensitive

These kinds of organizations are founded with the best of intentions, but once in existence they have a silly incentive system. The organization's survival and relevance is dependent on bigotry. If there's not enough of it, they have to go out and find it. They actually have an incentive system that makes them desire more bigotry (which is why they tend to make something out of nothing in many instances) otherwise their organization will go away. It's kind of like the anti-smoking league in Thank You for Smoking..."You guys need cancer boy."

This, of course, explains every action undertaken by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. If you can't find racism, make it up. If there's racism perpetrated by minorities or Democrats, ignore it.

The Southern Avenger says as soon as he hears someone cry "racist" about a politician, he assumes the politician is probably doing something right.
