Little old hatemonger me!
I am a hatemonger! I didn't realize it at first , but when one enters the public fray, one put's oneself at the discretion of the faceless and many times nameless, who courageously attack your character and point of view and then fade back into the void that is their writing desk which usually amounts to the lunch room at their factory day-job where they're constantly griping about forced overtime to complete an order. Let me first acknowledge in wondorous righteous indignation that if there was ever an overused, under substantiated word designed not to enlighten but instead to censor, it's the word hatemonger.Where I have up to this point received the most accusations about being part of this illustrious group of "mongers" is from a routine in my project "A Conservative Unleashed" about gay marriage that used the line "Guys want to marry guys?...COWARDS!!" Interestingly enough the writer of my New Yorker profile, Adam Green (who leans liberal minded) found the line one of his favorites, but then again he ACTUALLY SAW MY SHOW and so he perceived the sarcasm that essentially was commenting on how hard it is to be married to a member of the opposite sex. Actually when viewed in it's entirety I spend much more time lambasting heterosexual divorce than gay marriage but to know that would also mean that the liberal minded who accused me of hatemongering would have actually had to do research I.E. ( actually watch the show w/o taking lines out of context) which I believe is a little too much to expect from any liberal pseudo-journalist, don't ya think? Just ask Dan Rather, and he's a PRO! Sorry people but I'm just tired of the word. I simply find the word hatemonger insipid and useless in actually trying to accomplish something useful because usually it's applied not to people that actually hate others, but to people who want the right to disagree with what some others do and therein lies the rub. To say for example " I hate pygmies and wish they were dead" at least could substantiate the claim hatemonger. But to say " I hate the way some pygmies EAT people" would simply be making a social commentary about a behavior which has NOTHING to do with hate. Not that I believe pygmies actually eat people but it does make for a humorous sentence that is an attention grabber. Something about Pygmies that makes the rest of humanity stand up and take notice! If there is any one group in this country that has created the most nonsensical words to defend itself it's the gay lobby. Remember they are the ones that invented the word "homophobia" which from the root words "homo"-(same) and "phobia"-(irrational fear) , we have a word that literally means "irrational fear of the same".The same "what" you ask, sorry I'm at a loss. I guess you'll have to refer to the gay linguists who coin a phrase anytime their behavior is questioned. This I CAN say from my own mouth..or..er..fingers, I don"t hate anybody. Thus by American rule of law, if you now accuse me of hate the onus of proof is on you. If you are of the camp though that finds satisfaction in slandering someone who simply disagrees with certain human behavioral choices then you are instantly in effect disagreeing with my intellectual choice and since I'm straight, it's obvious you are a heterophobe. I figure one nonsense word deserves another. I don't know what circles one must run in that find intimidation an effective means to gag others , but as a comedian who is a professional rhetorician, I'm afraid it won't work on me.Not that the liberal minded PC brigades won't still try the technique but what would you expect from an Heterphobic, Christaphobic, Conservativaphobic, Theistiphobic, Dialougaphobic, Tolerantaphobic, Fairmindedaphobic, liberal minded bigot? I rest my case.

just read your last post.... but couldn't find in the Bible where it says, "they will know you're My disciples by your ability to ridicule and mock the oposite side, no matter how ignorant." Still looking though buddy!
But really, thanks for being the unofficial mouthpiece for us Christians... we really enjoy you being out there giving us an unforgiving, eye for an eye, name. I bet the non-christians that attend your shows are coming to Christ in droves!!!!!! ...... no really Bradly. Before you blast this, think about it. Re: Re: ha ha ha

Elijah's little repartee to the prophets of Baal is teeming with sarcasm.("Where is your god? perhaps he is asleep, or maybe walking around?" Theonly thing missing is a punctuating rim-shot) As is Isaiah's bit about how the idolaters take a piece of wood, cut it in half and call one half of it "God" while they heat their house with the other half of "God."

Mr. Forkfighter, you need to take a step back and really look at yourself. We just finished watching "Put a helmet On! Which was excellent by the way. If you haven't had a chance to watch it Mr Forkfighter I would strongly recommend it. By the way what kind of screen name is forkfighter, Oh I get it you were the person that Brad mentioned in the video that was offended by the whole chopstick bit....now I understand. But seriously, I want to understand were you are coming from, where does it say in the Bible that we can't poke fun at each other. You mention the opposite side, well you didn't actually put it that way, but I'll let you fiqure out what I mean by that....anyway. So you would be happy if Brad only mocked and ridiculed fellow Christians....like you did to Brad in your message. Only your sarcasm wasn't very clever....I thought sarcasm was suppose to be clever. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I would venture that more non-christians are looking deeply into their beliefs after watching Mr Stine, than they are from watching Eddie Murphy, or George Carlin. Thanks for the laughs, I just ordered your other DVD on CBD(Christian Book Distributors) for those not familiar with CBD. I think you've made the big time Brad, people are selling your wares on Ebay. Not your underwear....

Ta da, ta da, ta... Oh! Hey, what's up? Love this blog-happening. I just posted about you today on my blog (gratuitous self-promoting plug, insert here) http://blog.pscottcummins.com So let's see if that ping-counter of yours works! Keep telling it Brad, because (and this comment is for a couple of those other commenters) we can't all agree all the time, so... That's why God gave us the ability to laugh (he said, somberly). Brad, I would love to get you to Africa with us, because over there they know all about us (there is @#*! satellite t.v. even in the midst of malnutrition), but the folks there don't know about the REAL us. We have got to get in REAL connection with one another on this planet. Hmm, let's see here. I know! PK flies from Florida, to Uganda, for a quick stopover. As John Lovitz might add, 'Yeah, right - on the Space Shuttle...' 'Til then, though, keep at it with all that 'joie de vivre' you've got for the French! Your C.S. Lewis-quoting Seattle pal, -Scott Re: Little old hatemonger me!

Brad: Great analysis of those who would dismiss your thought provoking comments with a slur on your character, using (of all things) totally made-up monikers. Apparently one of your readers thinks you are mocking YOUR maladroit mockers. I think you are doing what you are gifted to do. You are seeing the humor of a real problem in our culture (passing judgment/dismissing people by name-calling when you disagree with them) and bringing it to the light of day with your special and funny insights! How cool is that? Thanks for the laughs. God bless you and yours.
