If you want to stick up for a person who televises how he equates the mass murder of over a hundred thousand people as spreading the love, ok. I'm just leaning further towards treating him with the same standards he treats others.

I guess I'm the only one who didn't know Shep Smith was gay, news to me.
As for the 'looks' he does look a little gaunt. Some diseases/ailments are known to show on the face and neck first.
HEP C
AIDS
CANCER
And some other 'wasting' diseases. Sorry to say but it looks like he's not well. It was not long ago he looked healthy, and age doesn't creep up that fast unless he hit a wall or drug abuse. I don't think he's the type to turn to meth or crack.

Hannity is openly anti-gay, but that does not mean that the entire network is.

Unfortunately some people lack the capability or willingness to exert the level of empathy required to put themselves into the shoes of others, so to speak. Some people are not cognizant of how their actions, behaviors, and words do effect people.
In some cases it takes them becoming the recipient of the same standards they apply to how their interpersonal relationship skills are applied to others. No, not permanently. Just long enough to plant the seed of doubt and question their own expectations of others especially if their expectations are unattainable.
For them to exert their will and have expectations of others, first they should make sure they themselves can live up to the expectations they place on others.
You used a quote from Ghandi when you said "An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind".
My counterpoint is a quote from Ghandi: "Be the change you want to see in the world".
Everything I was talking about in the first paragraph of this post were issues discussed in a pretty well known book:

Please learn how to read. I can't even respond to some of your stupid ignorant questions. I seriously think people here just look at the title of threads and then post without reading them.
1. There are already internet rumors that he has AIDS.
2. I care cause I like Shep and want him to get well with whatever he has.
3. Fox News wouldn't advertise that one of their anchors has AIDS. Now, would they?edit on 29-2-2012 by jjf3rd77 because: (no reason given)
