What are the odds that the LGBT human rights organization Egale or the NDP’s LGBT critic (whatever that is) Randall Garrison will be putting an official complaint against Macleans columnist Scott Feschuk for tweeting this:
If conditions are not safe on Wednesday for Trick or Treating, I will go out anyway and get all the candy, you nancies
nancy n. pl. nancies: Offensive Slang Used as a disparaging term for an effeminate man, especially a homosexual man
Slim to none right?
Also: See earlier post where Feschuk got away with posting a “hookers vs escorts” blog which was quietly pulled down by Macleans here
Update: It’s been reported that 10 people have died so far due to the hurricane yet Feschuk is busy trying to be funny about the disaster on Twitter:
When Ali Velshi ultimately drowns, at least we’ll know for certain that he was a witch
Ali Velshi is a CNN reporter covering the storm.
Update: After having his remark pointed out to him by blogger Alberta Ardvark, Feschuk doubles down:
Really? I thought it just mean “sissy.” That’s how we used it in school
Wait, we can’t call people sissies now?

I really don’t care too much about the whole nancies/sissies thing. It’s not that big of a deal for me. But you are right. There is no chance of an HRC complaint being even hinted at against him. He’s not Christian or conservative so he’s safe.
I just get sick of *HIM*. He is basically a prime example of what passes for political/social humour in the MSM. Snotty, sneering jerks who’s default setting is always “attack conservative/white/Christian/males”. Ooooh how cutting edge! How gutsy! What a rebel!
And please … puhlllleeeeze! Would these guys stay the F%%% off Twitter! & Facebook? Just because you write for a living doesn’t mean your every thought is worth reading. Shut up!
