Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I found a list of sponsors for Denis Leary's show Rescue Me. I think at this point it's important to hit directly at the wallet without giving too much publicity to this man. I of course haven't read his book, in his statement he goes on about how this is only a sound bite and how it's taken out of context because it's about grown men who use this self diagnosis as an excuse for their failing careers...he also advises that taking one or 2 sentences out of context is ill advised and we should read the book before jumping to conclusions. How a paragraph ripping children and their parents can tie into that explanation is the spin of all spins, he says it right there, " read the book " ...there is that reason..it's a selling point. I however, don't have time to read his stupid book because I am too busy reading real books about how to help my son with autism, or as Mr. Leary would label him, " dumb ass " kid.. Here's the thing, this is not going to end until everyone and by everyone I mean everyone besides the Autism Community, gets as angry about comments like this as everyone gets about racist and anti Semitic comments. It is just as hateful. I did not see the same type of outrage in the general public towards Savage as I witnessed toward Don Imus. This has to stop. When you say something hateful, hurtful, derogatory and dismissive you should be held accountable. It was cowardly of Mr. Leary. It was low. It was a " dumb ass moronic stupid lazy thing " to say. But, quite frankly I am not surprised. A decade ago there were substantial allegations that he stole material from another comic, Bill Hicks, who was a friend of his. This comic unfortunately died way too young, at 32, but the similarities in the acts raised major questions. I wonder what disorders will he self diagnose himself with to fend off the question of plagiarism..especially when people who plagiarize could be viewed as too lazy, too stupid, and not creative enough to come up with their own ideas...lets see, could one of these men he supposedly wrote this chapter about really be him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucJ3M4mcetw <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucJ3M4mcetw & feature=related> & feature=related Here are the Sponsors http://www.parentstv.org/ptc/campaigns/rescueme/main.asp SPONSOR INFORMATION Current Sponsors of Rescue Me DaimlerChrysler Corp. 1000 Chrysler Drive Auburn Hills, MI 48326-2766 Phone: (248) 576-5741 or (800) 422-4797 Fax: (248) 512-1761 Burger King Holdings, Inc.
