Anti-bullying leader bullies kids in audience

Wow. Talk about irony if not hyprocrisy. Sticking to the topic, sure, great but gettiing into a tirade and directing it towards a particular group in the audience? Bad mojo.

Quote:

As many as 100 high school students walked out of a national journalism conference after an anti-bullying speaker began cursing, attacked the Bible and reportedly called those who refused to listen to his rant “pansy asses.” …

Savage was supposed to be delivering a speech about anti-bullying at the National High School Journalism Conference sponsored by the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. But it turned into an episode of Christian-bashing.

Rick Tuttle, the journalism advisor for Sutter Union High School in California, was among several thousand people in the audience. He said they thought the speech was one thing – but it turned into something else.

“I thought this would be about anti-bullying,” Tuttle told Fox news. “It turned into a pointed attack on Christian beliefs.”

Tuttle said a number of his students were offended by Savage’s remarks – and some decided to leave the auditorium.

“It became hostile,” he said. “It felt hostile as we were sitting in the audience – especially towards Christians who espouse beliefs that he was literally taking on.”

That's Fox News -

GLBT people had been bullied for years so time for anti-gay Christians to pay it back.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Especially two unrelated wrongs.

Definitely. Savage was supposed stay on course instead going on a tirade. Who wants to hear a tirade at a national journalism conference?

Don't blame any of the students for walking out....in fact, they should have thrown Savage out!...by the seat of his pants.
