“Wait til she goes to court” — accused of breaking which law, is it? And that law obviously applies to some and not to others? To women but not to men? To white folks but not to black folks? To non-commedians but not to commedians? And I hear it was 30 years ago? So, in the case of ‘having your feelings hurt’ and ‘being offended,’ there are absolutely NO statutes of limitations. Because so-and-so’s feelings hurt for 30 years?
Oh, I see .../s
I find use of “the ‘N’ word” to be extremely offensive.
There is nothing wrong with “use” of the original word, yes it’s crude and insulting but no word is worthy of being banned. not in a free country.
Politically Correct is Neither.......Take back your language and ENFORCE THE BILL OF RIGHTS...It’s the Law! Buncha’ Sheep.
I am mature enough to make my own decisions, thank you very much, and can choose to listen or hit the channel changer. Besides, it is so one sided. There was more media outrage over George Bush's 30 yr. old drunk driving ticket than over Al Gore's smoking pot in much more recent years; More outrage over a charge of using the dreaded N word in past times, and in someone's own place than over that rapper who jumped up on the stage and berated/attacked the white celeb who got an award he felt should have been Beyonces.
When is enough enough? I have had enough and am sick of the overuse of "racism" "racist" "radical right winger" and other overused phrases used wholely to influence attitudes in this country, which on the left stink of double standards, race privilege, victimhood, and false tolerance and care for the "little people".
It is time to get real in OUR lives. Washington, except for a few notable exceptions, care only for perpetuating their own privileges and power.
I want to know when someone is going to jail for the IRS scandal; when someone is going to have to pay with indictment, infamy, and prison for lying about Benghazi--Yes, Hillary, you arrogant slut, IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Unless we, the people, get oiff the couch and make our voices heard, we are going to live in a total police state. The IRS is training field agents in firearms to come to our homes and search, question, etc.
It doesn't really matter about what Paula Dean said. We have ALL said something in a personal moment we would be ashamed of if a spotlight shined on the statement alone without showing context .
The d@#n Congress is giving our country away, aiding terrorists, denigrating Christians, and we care about the N-word. Let that take care of itself and stop govt. overreach.
vaudine
Oh and btw, I see Capital One is still using Baldwin commercials. Wasn’t he the honkster who supposedly used the N-word recently?
“I was shocked. I thought she’d get a fair trial,” Wilson, a nurse from Jacksonville, Fla., said Saturday”
Idiot. Using racial slurs isn’t a crime and I’m damned sick of this. If you belong to a “protected class” you can damn well say whatever you want, but if you don;t you are held to a different standard.
This PC crap is totally out of hand.
Mrs. L says that this is like masturbation. If you say you’ve never done it, you’re lying.
Paula needs to shut up and quit apologizing. It isn’t going to do any good. She gave a dignified answer in court. Let it all die down and move on. The grovelling for forgiveness neve works on the perpetually outraged.
I wonder how many welfare queens watch food network.
The Food Network is going to be in a world of hurt if I ever catch anyone using the word ‘cracker’ on a show.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the indignant northerner shrill on this thread is not yet peaked
Well, for me it’s anything to get her off the TV. I can’t stand to listen to her.
