I've heard, on a number of occasions Maher, Letterman and others insulting Palins kids. It's freedom of speech so they can do as they please, but when you mock someone's special needs child, then you are crossing a line.
Then when you have those two cows; Whoopi and Barbara basically defending Maher, that's crossing another line. The audience applauding is another line being crossed.:
It's your opinion that "lines" were crossed, and your opinion on what where those lines may be drawn. To turn around and employ the same name-calling tactics against the women who defended freedom of speech is a bit hypocritical, at best. I've heard of no TV personalities outside of Maher call Trig names. They've expressed confusion at names like "Trig," but that's about it. I've heard them make fun of what's going on with her other adult kids, though, Bristle, in particular. Despite what you think, they have chosen to be public figures open to the good and bad that goes along with it.
I don't see you calling Maher names. Have you written to him? Why not ask to be on his show or make your point known? Hell, write him a scathing page where all you do is call him the worst names you can think of. Get it off your chest and move on.
When you cross so many lines you put yourself open to verbal abuse. Instead of "cows" I was actually gonna use another term, one that Maher uses frequently to describe Palin, but that would have been censored or banned here so I was more diplomatic by only referring to those two $#%&?, as cows.
Why does it make you feel better to call anyone names at all? Why is showing posters of Obama dressed as a Nazi okay?
Now lets just imagine for a minute, Obama's daughters being mocked or insulted by any of these comedians or others. Do you think those two cows would have made those excuses for them having freedom of speech.
They would have been forced to resign from "The View" immediately and there would be outrage for the next 10-20 years, and rightfully so.
I don't know, and neither do you. Besides, you should know it's more complicate than that. It's not morality at stake, it's the networks funding by advertising that's what is important to them. If advertisers pull their support, the show gets canceled. Get all of the conservatives to complain, if you don't like something. Don't resort to calling them names because they were defending the right of someone to call someone a name.
Double standards and hypocrisy is what it's called and Liberals are specialists in that area.
Like the double standards you are using to toss away my beliefs about what is racism and what's crossing a line there, yet expect all of us to respect your line on name calling although you do it all the time. And like lumping all liberals together and calling them all hypocrites?
I've also been called a lot of names here due to my political and religious views, including various "Dislikes", which correct me if I'm wrong, you also gave me. You lefties, who dominate in numbers here at Namepros, probably thought I would cave in and kiss your asses. Wrong. Because I'm not politically correct, I don't kiss anyone's ass
I honestly don' recall disliking a post from you. I took a quick look and didn't see one. But it doesn't matter. I've received dislikes, too. I'm okay with that, especially if the person posts why. It lets me learn.
The last thing I want is you kissing my ass.
This comparison is not correct You are talking about name-calling a normal Kid. I was talking about mocking and referring to her Down Syndrome child as a "Retard" Big difference. Yes you and others sometimes make such a big deal out of nothing in terms of racism. Everything is racism. Someday if a white male (it's always the white male's fault) looks at a black dude it will be called racism. You are trying to mix apples and oranges in this comparison and it ain't gonna work.
Well, there are the double standards again: You think what I consider a big deal is merely making a โbig deal out of nothing in terms of racism.โ You donโt respect my opinion on racism, yet you expect me to respect yours on the โcowsโ who crossed a line defending freedom of speech.
Out of curiosity, why so you say "white male" twice to describe whites, but use "black dude" to describe blacks?
On a side note, just saw some images of your Alaska on our local news, showing that you are going through a heat wave in some parts. Now I'm one up on Sarah. Now I can even see Alaska from my lounge while watching the news.:wave: Bet you can't say the same about Madeira
[/QUOTE]
If you call setting statewide records days in a row for temperatures higher than ever recorded, then, yes, itโs a heat wave.
I have looked up Madeira. It looks like a very nice place. In fact, my wife and I are thinking about visiting.
