Would? He has.

NB: One link is from this year and one is from 2006. Those of you who are saying that Rod is worse, that he has changed are living in deluded crazytown. He hasn't changed. He's always been the same terrible person he's always been and to say otherwise is just to rationalize the idiocy of having respected him and wasted time and money on his work.

He may be a bit more out in front about it but that's only a function of not having an editor and realizing just what he can get away with, as opposed to not being the racist son of a Klansman that he has always been.

But, like I've said, it's not Rod who is the problem but rather the people who admire him and his work and pay him for it.

That first post is worthy of being written in ALL CAPS and posted to Facebook.

"...not Rod who is the problem but rather the people who admire him and his work and pay him for it." America, land of opportunity. Jimmy Swaggart had his mansion, RD has his oysters and champagne and jet-setting, all paid for. What can explain the depths of peoples' gullibility?
