Vile Homophobic Rant by Scott Baio's Wife, Which Baio Defends

So...race and liberal-minded people aren't the only things that get Scott Baio worked up.  And it's not just Scott - his wife Renee seems to really hate lesbians (and liberals, for that matter).  Well, according to Renee, she only really hates some lesbians.

Scott tweeted about having paid his taxes, so now he's fed and housed a whole bunch of lazy unemployed people - and covered their medical expenses!  The entire country should be thanking Scott for what must be his enormous income and the taxes he so compassionately pays to help so many in need, right?

I guess not everyone thinks so.  Jezebel.com posted a copy of the tweet.  They didn't comment on it, they just posted a copy.  Who knows why (since his generous gift to overly needy humanity is so awesome), but he got mad that it was posted on the website.  Some discourse occurred on Twitter between Scott and one of the Jezebel writers, and suddenly all hell broke loose.  While Scott was complaining about the website basically being mean to him and causing him problems, the writer quipped that he didn't need any help, he was doing a fine job of causing himself problems.  She used the phrase, "you, sir, hang yourself with your own rope".

After all the racism accusations Scott has received, he is like really, really attuned to things now...I guess...because he flew off the handle accusing the writer of racism because she referenced hanging.  Huh??

Aaaand then he blocked her.  But he again promised he'd pray for her.  These days he throws in something about prayer, thinking it reverses the hateful things he's just said or somehow makes them acceptable.

Plenty of craziness ensued and his wife Renee spew forth a blast of vileness on her Facebook page.  I don't quite understand this because according to Scott in a later tweet, Renee only accepts friend requests from people she knows.  So does that mean a friend of hers isn't really a friend?  After all someone released this screencap.  (Click for larger view.)

Then Scott Baio (his classy piss in tow) defended his wife's position, and much more craziness ensued, most of it mind-boggling, including the accusation that Jezebel was trying to hurt children because the Baios have a children's charity.  I don't think Scott and Renee need any help in hurting that charity's reputation - they're doing a fine job of that themselves.

This fight must have been reported on 50% of the blogs on the internet.  Here are a few links from Jezebel, which help flesh out the story.
