While it is unprofessional, what racial bias is there in calling Republicans assholes? Unprofessional yes, but a racially biased comment? No
Well come on, isn't it OBVIOUS....
Asshole is CODE LANGUAGE for "Uppity White Cracker", I mean, its patentedly obvious to anyone that can see it. They can't actually say "Uppity White Cracker" so they substitute it with "asshole" as a secret code. I mean, look throughout time, there's plenty of historical evidence of white people being called "assholes"...code language. Its my judgement call.
PRICELESS.
Shall we remind people of this, too?
CNN.com - Sources: Cheney curses senator over Halliburton criticism - Jun 24, 2004
Should Bush have to apologize for his Vice President's foul mouth?
The double standard is incredibly glaring......
:doh
Okay, Joe and Former specifically....
For the past months with this idiotic nazi thing and this idiotic "republican plants" thing and everything else we've been hearing this drum beat of "Oh look, the republicans are bringing up the past again. Does two wrongs make a right? Why don't you stop making excuses and focus on condemning your own people. Who cares about thep ast. OH look republicans bringing up democrats again, wah wah wah".
And as such, the next thing to logically do is.........have something happen with someone on your side and defend/ignore it by turning around and going "But look, but look, republicans did this".
Seriously?
Could someone explain me these rules? Joe, Former, do you get to bitch about republicans bringing up when democrats have done the exact same things as them in years past but then get to turn around and do the exact same thing?
At least be a little bit consistant in your asinine arguments.
IMHO seriously, this is a minor issue, it was a minior issue with Bush and Cheney saying it about some reporter. Politicians are human. I can't think of anyone I know that's never said someone is a dick, an asshole, a jerk, etc. Its not exactly uncommon. "OMG A politician swore", who the **** cares. There's a great many liberals and conservatives on this very forum that I don't doubt if put around people of their own type would have no issues calling some members of the other side "assholes".
A big to do about nothing, with the writer trying to make this a big story looking like an asshole himself.
