i am so over all of the hate that gets directed at angie harmon. it seriously makes me mad. yes, she is a republican. but you know what she's not? a racist. you know what else she's not? a homophobe. republican is not synonymous with racist/homophobe. are there a lot of racist and homophobic republicans? sure. but you know what? there are a lot of racist and homophobic democrats, as well. hatred of that magnitude, where you hate entire groups of people who were born that way... that goes far beyond the scope of politics. i hate it when people from either party try and lump all members of the "opposing" party into the same one-dimensional category. we are all human beings before we're anything else and both sides need to start seeing that. the whole mudslinging aspect of politics (in candidates, and in the population as a whole) is disgusting.
this rant brought to you by...
1. watching a "crime fighters" panel video with actors from various crime shows, and hearing angie harmon say, "i'm sure if you've ever heard my name, you've heard 'eww' after it."
2. making the mistake of getting sucked into the comments section of a random rizzoli & isles forum.
blahhhhh i need sleep.
angie harmon,
venting,
politics
