Proof positive that, as Carville said, "they don't know the difference between a football bat and a hockey court"!

3. I used to play softball fanatically. I am not a lesbian. You can ask my husband
and he will correct this myth. I stopped playing long before Kagan.

Playing softball may mean that your dad was a baseball fan. Kagan does not look like a very athletic person. This is utter nonsense.

4. I bet they bring it up in the hearings - it'll signal how stupid the far right is now


I'm sure she'll have a very smart and biting reply to anyone who even goes there.

11. I have no doubt they will
bring it up. They will be 'playing to their base'. Of course we know the nature of their base-bigotry.

6. Men that go to ballet are homosexuals??
Just following their line of reasoning........they should be asked if they ever went to a ballet and it does not count if their wife or lover asked them to go, they could have refused.

10. that's why I was so pleased to see some well known NFL folks at the Mens oly. figure skating finals
Tony Dungy, Colts coach, was there... and I don't care what was going through his mind when Johnny Weir performed, because Johnny rocks, but Tony is known for his unfortunate opinion about people being Gay, so I found it interesting he was there in the stands smiling. Another footballer was there too.

I'm sure there's plenty of right wing nuts that would say "Tony's a closet-homosexual" because he went to watch the figure skating.

How sad...

7. A guy I worked with
once told me to watch out for my niece because she played high school basketball. He had the idea that girl's high school basketball was all about being lesbian. Of course this guy was one of those weirdo fundies.

9. yep, as if it matter what sexuality the basketball players are. Sure it's probably a significant
amount, but it shows how WACKY someone is when they tell a parent to watch for their daughter because of the sport she plays! Sheesh.

14. One other thing...I wonder if men that bar-b-q
are just letting their feminine side out. Because we all know that it is the woman's place to do all the cooking. They all could be latent homosexuals. Just a thought to help the right out. A lot of bar-b-qs down south.

8. What if she is lesbian?
That certainly does not disqualify her from being a justice. Well, it might in the minds of the religious right freakoids. But we don't care what they think.

13. What does it matter if she happens to be gay?
If they ask her during confirmations if she is gay,and she says "yes", she should threaten them with discrimination if she doesn't get it based on her answer. I wish these people would just get out of the dark ages.

18. yep, use it against them if she is asked and says yes. I agree! time to tell the bigots to stop
the abuse of fellow citizens. Plus, every bigot either has a gay family member or close friend, or they are themselves. It's just that prevalent (the amount of GLBT citizens)

15. They are INSANE homophobes.
As a father and member of our local softball board for 5 years, I am disgusted. I helped raise 3 of the best female softball players in our area and I coached hundreds of other young ladies. The propensity of the girls to become gay, no matter how aggressively they played, was no more than the average young lady.
Besides all of that bullshit, what about the "Log Cabin Republicans." Cheneys daughter? Personally, I wish Ms. Kagan had progressive credentials. Even if she were gay, that sure as hell would not change anything. Idiots.........
