Denis Leary joins Michael Savage in the ranks of Ignorami

Warning Warning Warning! This post is full of Ignorance against parents of children with autism and the innocent kids themselves.

The latest ignoramus to point the great big finger of blame, Denis Leary. Leary's new book,
Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid spews forth:

“There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can’t compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks . . . to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don’t give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He’s just stupid. Or lazy. Or both.”

The website Denis Leary Sucks has been set up in response.
Leary's comments are on the same ignorant, uneducated level as Michael Savage's Radio comments (July 2008) where he defined autism as:

"[a] fraud, a racket. ... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "

Speaking of idiots - earlier in the year (Feb 2008) reality TV's Big Brother 9 Adam Jasinksi who said horrible things and then went on to win the show!

"I do PR work for an autism foundation. I want to do a hair salon for kids with special needs so retards can get it together and get their hair done."

In the 1940's the theory of Refrigerator Mothers blamed autism on 'emotionally cold' mothers (parents). Autism was 1 in 10,000.

This is 2008. 1 in 150.

I'm convinced more than ever that they say these horrible things simply for media attention. There is but one word for their ignorant comments - unacceptable.
