Before you turn up your nose and huff "He's so disgusting!" you need to listen to this, but first I'll set the stage... In the final segment of each show Robin Quivers reads the news. On this particular day one of the articles she shared was about the anti-gay group One Million Moms demanding that JCPenney fire Ellen DeGeneres as their new spokesperson because she's openly gay, which set Howard off. He talks about why Rosie O'Donnell was upset with David Letterman's remarks about how she met her fiance, about One Million Moms and then why Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann are "the worst people on the planet."
For the record, One Million Moms is an arm of the American Family Association. In 2010 the Southern Poverty Law Center listed the AFA as a hate group because of the "propagation of known falsehoods" and "demonizing propaganda" about homosexuality.
The clip is about twelve minutes long, but worth listening to. As a warning, the language is colorful, so this is not safe for work or around little ears.
I also recommend that you listen to Ellen's response to One Million Moms after they attacked her as not sharing their values. "Here are the values I stand for: I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you'd want to be treated and helping those in need," she said. "To me, those are traditional values. That's what I stand for."
