To avoid offending left wing idiots

And you now what really pisses me off, is the sure knowledge that these idiots aren't "offended" at all - they've just found something else to back conservatives into a corner with, by calling names.

I take it back. What really, really pisses me off is that the conservatives bend over for it.

For God’s sake, “Lee” is the Asian equivalent of the American “Smith”.

Can’t wait for the obligatory Snopes.com propaganda declaring that this is a false story.

Getting offended for the sake of getting offended, for fun and profit.

How many Blacks are named Washington?

Time to take the Reruns of “The Jeffersons” off the Air.

Is Bill Clinton changing his Middle Name?

I wonder how many Liberals think “The Dukes of Hazzard” was about British Nobility?

If idiots don’t watch then the advertisers won’t get any of their target audience!
