My head is about to explode.<\/p>\n

I just saw this video in which a radio talk show host, Sandy Rios, suggested that a train engineer’s sexual orientation might have contributed to that terrible derailment near Philadelphia, killing eight people.<\/p>\n

As the Huffington Post noted, Rios said she isn’t blaming the crash on Brandon Bostian’s sexuality, but then she did exactly that.<\/p>\n

What in the name of all that is holy is going on here?<\/p>\n

Bostian reportedly is a gay rights activist. He has campaigned against laws banning gay marriage, according to Rios.<\/p>\n

Here’s part of what she said on her American Family Radio show, “Sandy Rios in the Morning”: \u201cI am not inferring to [sic] those of you who are gay rights activists and who like to monitor this show, I\u2019m not inferring that this accident happened because he was gay. But I do think it\u2019s an interesting part of the story, and I bet it will be edited out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,” she added, “but I think it is something to be discussed and I think it\u2019s a factor and I doubt you will hear it anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah, probably because it’s pure idiocy.<\/p>\n
