Bigotry Continues at NECN

Bigotry Continues at NECN

Angus McQuilken said on Tuesday April 17, 2007, on NECN's NewsNight with
Jim Braude that we need to "keep guns out of the hands of people with a history
of mental illness." Here is one more example of civil rights activists for
homosexuals who indicate their bigoted hateful feelings toward persons with
disabilities. Upon what rational basis does McQuilken deny persons with a
history of mental illness the right to carry a gun? It appears that he shares
the NECN host's negative opinion of persons with disabilities.
McQuilken also said that mental illness needs to be considered for a gun
license. Why not consider homosexuality for a gun license? Homosexuals are more
violent than mental patients. Homosexuals are more likely to kill others than
persons with a history of mental illness. Typically we scrutinize the peaceful
citizens and ignore the violent ones.
The Constitution does not deny rights to persons with a history of mental
illness. Having a disability does not carry with it a constitutional prohibition
on exercising rights. Unlike homosexuals persons with disabilities do not have
wealthy politically connected TV and political spokesmen defending their rights
and corrupting the law and the courts. Why do homosexual leaders deny equal
rights to persons with disabilities?
Mr. Braude and NECN management continue to ignore my emails about his
bigoted views on persons with disabilities. Jim's current love object, Cadillac
Deval said he was "sick of the careless insults." But neither Deval nor Braude
believe that persons with disabilities have the same feelings as black people,
homosexuals and women. Persons with disabilites are as hurt by Braude's and
McQuilkjen's hate speech as black people are hurt by Imus' speech. This is the
dictionary definition of bigotry. When will it end?
McQuilken is a limousine liberal failed candidate for state office. He
reflects the unlawful liberal position on persons with disabilities, i.e., only
homosexuals, women and blacks are victims of discrimination. That is the
underlying assumption of their fatuous policies.
