Anorexic Sues Cooking Show

Find it here

The deranged lawsuit of the day has been brought by Aaron Ferguson, a former accountant for Rachael Ray’s TV cooking show, who as an anorexic is demanding $1 million because Ms. Ray is allegedly hostile to his kind.

According to court papers, Ray committed such unconscionable acts as stating that anorexics, who suffer from a potentially life-threatening personality disorder, “are sick in the head.”

[...]

But with a little creativity, anyone can climb aboard moonbattery’s gravy train by claiming to belong to an oppressed minority.

The ultimate outcome of the lefties’ “rights” bullshit.  Victim politics.

robert 108, you are doing what seems to be a common place practice among conservatives. Nowhere in the suit does it allege that Ray said anything that you quote. She is not even named in the suit. If you are going to try to stir up controversy, please get your facts straight. But, maybe that was your intended purpose: to distort the truth.

Have to agree, it mentions Rachel Ray’s show, but the show nor Rachel Ray herself are named in the papers.

He says his supervisor repeatedly exhibited “hostile behavior” and made “vile,” discriminatory and hurtful comments.

The comments included, “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work,” his court papers say.

Ferguson’s lawyer, William H. Kaiser, said Thursday, “The things that were said in front of my client were hurtful, and once they knew he had a problem with it they should have stopped.”

Ferguson says he repeatedly complained about his supervisor’s use, in his presence, of discriminatory language regarding anorexics but their superiors did nothing that improved his situation.

Ferguson said he began working in July 2007 for CBS Television Distributions Inc., a CBS Corp. unit and the producer and owner of the “Rachael Ray” show. After he complained about his treatment, he says, he was forced out in October 2007.

States the supervisor said this in front of him.

He worked for CBS, whic owns and produces the Rache lRay show (not sure why that is even in there).

So if I rad this correctly, then HE worked for CBS, his supervisor made these comments, he complained to his supervisors superiors and they did not thing adn shortly afterwards he was forced out.

Personally I don’t see the connection to Rachel Ray or the show in this.

It just says CBS owns and produces the show adn he worked for CBS...so can’t see why the author of hte article put that in, since by the writing of it, doesn’t make it seem he worked for Rachel Ray or the show, but for CBS itself.

Yes....

It’s riven with logic and infested with facts.

Now we can’t have that, now can we?

If you follow the link, you see it was a simple copy and paste job. In blogging, blockquote usually means that the stuff inside the shaded box isn’t your own.

This is a rather small bone to pick, btw. The site made a faulty assumption...that the guy’s supervisor was Ray herself. Sloppy thinking, but not a lie (it’s an understandable mistake).

This is like someone coming forward after a man gives a hit n run report to the police to call him a liar. “The car was blue! Not green!” That doesn’t negate the other facts.

I don’t understand why leftists are incapable of getting that “mistake” and “lie” are two different things.

Typical leftie bullshit: when you don’t like the facts, attack the source.  More nonsense from the usual source of such crap.

The guy’s anorexic; that doesn’t make him a “victim” of anything other than his own behavior.  That was the point, but the usual leftie bullshitter tries to change the subject, as usual.
