Shut Up Fool! Awards-We Got Rights Edition

It was a good week for transpeople as far as civil rights goes. Tmpa expanded their civil rights ordinance to protect transpeople yesterday. The good citizens of Kalamazoo, MI handed the Force of Intolerance another crushing defeat Tuesday as they overwhelmingly approved Ordinance 1859. ENDA had a senate hearing yesterday.

While these are positive trends, we still have much work to do. Even if we achieve our main goals, the work will not be finished until conservatives stop jacking with people civil rights because they hate us, their misguided self perception they are morally superior to 'errbody' and have the right to do so for selfish political gain.

That being said, it's time for our weekly reminder as our awards mascot reminds us, fools are everywhere.

So what fol or group of fools distinguished themselves this week? Too numerous to choose from. Rush Limbaugh, Rep. Michele Bachman (R-MN), Orly Taitz, Michelle Malkin and Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) are probably locks for our Shut Up Fool of the Year competition along with this week's winner. I'm thinking about letting you loyal TransGriot readers add your own nominations for the Shut Up Fool of the Year Award.

But back to the 'bidness' at hand. Who earned our illustrious award this week?

Glenn Beck. For comparing health care reform to Osama Bin Laden 9-11.

Keith Olbermann says it best here.



Glenn Beck, shut the hell up, fool!
