Oy vey, Phil Labonte. First off, I want to congratulate you. Your idiotic statements from a few weeks ago about how homosexuals don't have it as bad as blacks so they should stop complaining (I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically exactly what he said) got you on MSNBC.
Phil recently appeared on MSNBC's The Docket and finally somebody tried to call him out and ask him why he's so passionate about this viewpoint? His response: he does it to get a rise out of people. He literally said he does it to "stir the pot," and added he enjoys watching his Facebook likes go up and down based on whatever dumb thing he says. And later, he echoed statements he made previously about feeling censored:
“Just because I’m not gay or black doesn’t mean that I should be excluded from having any kind of comment on society or social commentary.”
Again, Phil… you are fully within your right to make (what I consider) idiotic statements. Just like anybody else is within their right to call you out on your statements. Freedom of speech goes both ways. My entire arguement has always been nobody is trying to stop you from saying words that others might find offensive. Go ahead and say them. It just makes you sound like an idiot. Come up with cleverer put downs!

Looks like Terror guitarist Martin Stewart watched the interview and had some commentary of his own on Labonte:
I always knew @philthatremains was an idiot.
