Thanks. ;-)
The comparison makes no sense to me. Apples to oranges.
Dirty mind?
> Now I get it....you’re a hypocrit.
I think your statement above says more about you than it does about me. Perhaps you should consider that you might be a hypocrite, too.
> Judging three performances based on one picture,
A second photo appeared a little later in the thread. Neither photo looked like expressions of virtue to me.
But your perspective differs.
And I’m ok with that.
But apparently, you are not.
Rather than discuss it logically, with emotional detachment, you chose confrontational condemnation.
Most of those who disagree with me on this particular topic have responded similarly. Few were willing to express their disagreement without emotional and confrontational language.
As another poster wondered previously, why is that?
The fact that you are upset that I said she should win, sounds like you probably have some issues, no???
It`s a silly dance show as far as I am concerned.
In addition to being uncouth, you're depraved. Exactly the type of 'conservative' who brings embarrassment and ridicule to the Right.
Dude, you came on to this thread calling what Bristol was doing porn, disgraceful and a "wanton exhibition of bad taste". You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but what makes you think your opinion is less non confrontational and less unemotional than the people who responded to you?
Seems to me that you are simply getting back what you are dishing out.
LOL!
BTW, if these photos offend you, when do you post them?
“In addition to being uncouth, you’re depraved. Exactly the type of ‘conservative’ who brings embarrassment and ridicule to the Right.”
Thanks, you’ve just proven my assertion.
LOL! Is that what she is moving?
LOL! Is that what she is moving?
In that dance move she is shaking her shoulders and her hips, a.k.a she is shaking her entire body, GASP! It's a basic dance move that is as common as dirt.
It is the camera shot, the one that YOU posted, that zeroes in on her chest.
Would you suggest that women not shake when they dance?
Or would it be more reasonable for camera shots to not zoom in on a females chest and for posters not to post the camera shots that do?
LOL...
Ok, if you say so...LOL.

> dishing out.
Did I dish out any personal attacks on you or any of those who responded to me aggressively?
Was I confronting you?
I was expressing my opinion about Bristol’s participation in a tawdry TV dance show, with people who likely hate her mother and everything that she stands for, which translates to me as an exhibition of bad taste. What makes it wanton, is that she should know how this could adversely affect her mother, but she didn’t seem to care.
I expressed my opinion that the photos on this thread reinforced my original opinion as to the tawdry nature of the TV dance show, and that the photos from that dance looked to me like soft porn.
How is that a personal attack on you or anybody else in this forum? How is that confrontational to you? Why must that translate into personal attacks on me?
Why can’t you say, simply, “I disagree, because ... yada yada yada ...”, whereupon we can have a spirited, intelligent discourse marketing our ideas without ad hominem and invective?
Are you never harshly critical of any public figures or their adult children?
Does that merit invective or ad hominem against you?

Read what I said and address it. I NEVER said that your first post was a personal attack on me or anybody on this forum.
Are you never harshly critical of any public figures or their adult children?
Public figures, yes.
Does that merit invective or ad hominem against you?
If a person's criticism about a public figure (or anybody) is wrong, then certainly that wrong opinion is worthy of criticism.
If that wrong opinion about a public figure is outrageous, careless or irresponsible, then yes that person is worthy of ad hominem criticism.
Have you ever called a public commentator, such has James Carville an idiot because of his point of view?
I would bet most reasonable people have.
Why the attitude?
My apologies! I jumped to the conclusion that you where one of the Palin bashers that troll this forum.
Me Bad ...Sorry
> If that wrong opinion about a public figure is outrageous
That’s your opinion. I didn’t think it was outrageous at all. The photos speak for themselves.

> outrageous, careless or irresponsible, then yes that
> person is worthy of ad hominem criticism.
In what way was my expressed opinion outrageous, careless, or irresponsible? You and I differ on the suggestiveness of those photos. I would not show them to my children, and I would not go back for a second glance. I think they’re pretty bad.
> Have you ever called a public commentator, such has James > Carville an idiot because of his point of view?
Well, yes, but I almost immediately correct myself. Such people are not idiots. They are either immature, living in their emotions, badly misinformed, brainwashed, or sinister, participating in our subjugation. I can’t honestly say for certain which of those, or which combination of those, James Carville, for example, is.
Bristol’s participation, in this dance exhibition has done damage to her mother’s standing as a moral leader. That’s a fact, like it or not. The overwhelming preponderance of Hollywood “stars” hate Sarah Palin, hate everything she stands for, and hate her supporters. We should all avoid doing anything that empowers these people in any way, however minor.
Even Bristol herself is having second thoughts about her participation in that tv show. For that, I can applaud her. It is a sign of emerging maturity.
But the creeps in hollywood will dog her with those photos. Count on it.
