Hilary Rosen's Ann Romney Comment

[Brittain33]

The N word is a common word amongst African-Americans. I dare you to go into a Golden Corral and shout "Hey there, n-ggers!" at the top of your lungs. It should be okay because it's "a common word."

Ma'am, don't confuse race with homosexuality.  One is not condemned, the other is.

That's got nothing to do with his point, which is that using a term positively and reclaiming a slur as a positive vs. a term negatively is a factor.

hate to clue you in, but homosexuality ain't exactly the embracement of human reproduction.

Many gays would love to be parents and achieve this by adoption or other biological means. Including Hilary Rosen. The desire to be a parent is not identical to sexual orientation.
