Bully, heal thyself: Backlash for 'anti-bullying' speaker Dan Savage

Lori Ziganto | 2:18 PM on April 29, 2012

“It gets better” project head Dan Savage rightly drew fire for his latest display of reprehensible behavior yesterday. This may be the straw that breaks the hypocritical camel’s back and it has sparked the #FireDanSavage hashtag on Twitter.

Others don’t want him fired; they want him to keep talking. Exposure is the best way to handle the contemptible sometimes.

People are also asking why their senators support this reprehensible bully.

Of course not. He’s special, you see. It’s totally okay to threaten someone’s life if you think he is icky. It’s also totally okay to call the bible “bullshit” because only the bitter are clinging to their bibles. Plus, gay! That gives him a free pass in the eyes of the media.

Wait, what? That’s right. The White House supports and fund-raises for the despicable Dan Savage’s project.

The Obama Administration has placed significant support behind the so-called It Gets Better Project. The White House has devoted a specific section of the WhiteHouse.gov website to the Project. President Obama, Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, and many other administration officials have cut videos on behalf of the Project.

The White House supports Dan Savage and his bigotry as does any senator or group who supports Savage’s “It gets better” program.

Call him out indeed. The one thing bullies can’t handle is being confronted. Because most bullies are, in fact, cowards. Dan Savage is no exception.

Let’s see if President Obama’s support for the disgusting Dan Savage “evolves.” If he throws him under the bus, will Dan Savage then call Obama a “pansy ass?”
