Bad choice of words to SLAM people with Lupus. What is wrong with you. Apology is needed.

Oh joy, faux outrage on the first comment.
Fox really is the lupus of news. I’d liken them a bit more to leukemia, myself.

I know, Fox is waay worse than lupus!

Fox is awful; lupus is awful. What’s the problem?

Ah, got it, typical Fox technique from Linda P., akin to this broken wingnut syllogism:
You say Dick Cheney is a war criminal.
Dick Cheney has (had, thank goodness) national security responsibilities.
Therefore, you hate the troops.

I have lupus
and I thought this was BRILLIANT! (Plus he described lupus pretty well — and public awareness is always a good thing.)
Very funny
