The old right-hander is winning again — with right-wingers. After ESPN forced Curt Schilling off his network mound, conservative media outlets defended his right to denigrate transgender people.

A site called Now The End Begins said in an editor’s note: “These are the last days, people, the last days. The New World Order is going to force the LGBT Agenda on you, and if you resist or speak up or fight back, then what happened to Curt Schilling is going to happen to you as well.”

To the restroom with your daughter or else you’re a narrow minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die!!!’ In a comment underneath the post, Schilling said, ‘A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.’”
