I think the Dems here need to lighten up. He used the term "girlie men" as a joke, since he had connections to the SNL skit. I don't think he meant it as a serious derogatory statement towards gays, he just has a sense of humor.

I think anyone who is legitimately offended by the term "girlie man" is one.

I don't have a problem with it because it's "homophobic," but I have a problem with it because it reminds me that the Governor of California is Arnold Schwartzenegger.

Why should you have a problem with Arnold being the Governor? It should make you proud to be an American. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

What are you talking about, "homophobic"? It's not homophobic, it just means Arnold likes SNL. Hell, people need to lighten up, don't be so sensitive. Anyone who finds being called a "girlie man" offensive has the social skills of a first grader.

Learn to read. I wasn't saying it was homophobic.

Sounds to me like you were saying so, but if you say you weren't, my mistake.

Consider yourself mistaken.

Personally, I think Arnold was making fun of fat people. That bastard. We must submit him to the angry flames, whilst held by rope and chain to the stake of justice.
