A member of the media who uses that term should suffer the same fate as a member of the media who uses the term "nigger".

You know what I've noticed. I've noticed that I haven't disagreed with you about a single thing. Not even your last comment. You seem to be angrily defending a point I'm not disagreeing with you on.

Pushing to hold people accountable for using the term is one way of "dealing with it." Making sure people know that the term comes from a slang term for a gay sex act, as you did here, is in that list also. Both are good things. There are other things that can be done as well. All of them recognize that the term isn't going away next week and that people need to decide what to do about that. There needs to be something more done than just pointing at people using it and saying "unacceptable!" ... what action backs this up? Are people writing the network to complain? Writing the journalist himself?

What's wrong with saying that because that's all I've said and I haven't disagreed with you about anything. Although you are very disagreeable in the way you present it.

If people in the MSM get fired for using the term IT WILL GO AWAY. "NIGGER" has gone away on the MSM...

Look - you need to get real here. If a TV journalist called Hillary a "liberal cunt" they would be fired.

And rightly so.

And news people who use the term, "nigger" would be fired.

And rightly so.

And newspeople who use the term "teabaggers" tell us to beg them to stop and snicker and use it again.

NO ONE has to WRITE THE NETWORKS to get them to stop using the term "cunt". "Journalists" know they can't offend liberals.

You think citizens should have to plead with a journalists to not call them derogatory names.

No we don't agree.

Liberals understand when THEY are offended and they move very quickly. They need to take out that big magnifying glass they use on us and take a quick look at themselves. They might be surprised they have morphed into control freak ugly.
