I had not heard this but, much as I diagree with racism and homophobia, he is entitled to his views and, even if you think he is misguided to hold such views, it doesn't mean everything he says is similarly misguided.
You don't really have to hear it, just read his blog (although it is quite funny when he writes something obviously crackpotted and discriminatory/nasty about a group of people then attempts to say that he meant something else), I forgot to mention that he has a massive (misplaced) ego too. Gwwarr, just read his blog, I don't want to talk about him anymore, he makes me feel angry :)
Anyhow, but my personal opinion of the guy is that almost everything he has been saying in recent years is fairly misguided and I don't care much for his writing anymore. Thats my opinion and I am sticking to it :)
