Last week after the Miss USA pageant, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton made headlines trashing Miss California Carrie Prejean. Her crime? Disagreeing with Mr. Hilton -- a judge at the pageant -- on whether states should follow Vermont and legalize same-sex marriage.
When asked this question on national television, she responded: "I think that I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's just how I was raised." She then received boos from the audience (mixed in with some cheers), and an irate Hilton turned to his blog, calling Prejean a "dumb bitch." In an interview later, he also eluded to a certain "c-word" to define her.
Most Americans are smart enough to realize where the real hate and intolerance came from. Carrie Prejean was calm and collected -- speaking her mind under serious pressure. Perez Hilton couldn't have been more vile. Prejean later told Fox News: ""By having to answer that (Hilton) question in front of a national audience, God was testing my character and faith. I'm glad I stayed true to myself." Amen.
Well, Mr. Hilton got what he deserved a few days ago in the form of a beat-down by columnist Dennis Prager on Larry King Live. Here's the video for your viewing pleasure.
Isn't it interesting how those who preach tolerance the loudest tend to be the most intolerant of all?

Oh, the irony... Great article. Miss California's question may have cost her the crown but didn't cost her integrity.

Yeah, that whole situation drips with irony; when liberals preach "tolerance," they just want everyone to agree with them -- and those who don't get labeled as "intolerant," "bigots," "homophobes," etc.
