1. The anchor had or has considered having a gay sexual encounter.

No doubt about it.

4. Threats are not cool. His bosses need to hand down some sort of punishment.

7. This is the first time

I have ever emailed a network and demanded someone be fired, but I did that after seeing this.

3. My thoughts exactly.

He's probably afraid for the career of a GOPer boyfriend.

20. have I told you how much I love seeing

your beautiful pitcher on the mound? He makes my 'sexual behavior' tick up a notch. lol... He's really dreamy, just wanted to say that, and I'm envious he's not on my Reds. We got Bronson Arroyo. He's pretty cool.

9. The anchor sent my gaydar out of the stratosphere

That's why he's pissed. He sees a trend that is going to put him "out".

If you can't tell immediately that this anchor is forgetting to give someone a good reach around, then you haven't lived.

Gaydar rating: +10

10. Me thinks he doth protest too much.

And then by the end of the "interview" the host gives out locations for the local premiere. Where did that outrage go? As if it was never there.

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

11. Not only does he protest too much, but .....

.....he does the typical GOP thing, talking over the other person's point, not letting them have their say. If you talk over them, then the true message does not get heard, properly.
Pathetic, typical bigot!

13. Update to this.... McKelway refuses to apologies

http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/05/08/11253

After receiving numerous complaints, McKelway addressed calls for an apology for his behavior. McKelway�s response? �Mike Rogers, you�re not getting one!�

14. He should be fired.

Who wants to come on a show where the producers let the bingo-callers threaten the guests? If I were a publicist, I would tell them to go to hell. He even agreed with the host on outing homosexuals who pass laws against homosexuality!

Like so many have said before me, the anchor seems to protest a bit to much.

15. I love

How one of Mekelway's defenses is the harm that might occur to the outed peoples' families. How is that any different than anyone else who has an affair, and we know that the "family first" crowd loves exposing other peoples' affairs.

17. I'm so sick of talking head hosts who interrupt and talk over their guests.

This clip eventually became a bit more of a dialogue but initially the male host interrupted the guest repeatedly. That plays on Faux and plays for people who want that kind of punch and judy show. It doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't interest me, it doesn't persuade me, it makes me mad.

I also agree the gentleman protests too much and the quip at the end of them having a date is right on.

19. LOLOLOL - take it back - or I'll do more than point my finger at you - I'll give you a tongue lashin

outside! er, I mean I'll punch you across the face!

Thou doth protest too much!

Sheesh... these wackjob closeted self-haters are the RAGE in their churches who are 'protecting their parents from being hurt' - if you want to go a step further, check out the ex-gays! Go youtube Sy Rogers if you want a laugh - he preaches against being gay, find the one of him in Colorado, oh my... you'd think it's a lady if you closed your eyes - and that'd be fine if he weren't a self-hater preaching against the 'sin' of homosexuality they twisted into something to rally against in these churches of hate!

21. "I'm a huge opponent of this process of 'outing'"

Pretty much tells you what you need to know, right there
