You’re calling me a bigot because I question someone’s judgment?

No, I am calling you a bigot because you are doing the same thing, using a denigrating term for someone. Anyone. Your political correctness is duly noted, but there is nowhere in our founding documents where words are harmful.

Do you think it would really bother me if you didn't read anything else I wrote? I'll answer that for you easily, I don't care. You obviously do not understand the First Amendment. I have the right to offend, just as do you. she did nothing to offend, but made an attempt to reconcile the dichotomy found in the term.

You're a bigot from where I sit. For proper definition: see Webster's new international dictionary for fun and unabridged delight...

Laura did something on the radio.

I thought that something was so stupid that I called her a moron.

I did not comment on what gender or race or group of any kind she’s in.

I called her a moron as an individual for an individual action she took.

You call that bigoted.

That, my friend, makes you so woefully ignorant of the meaning of the word “bigot” that it puts you in the moron class yourself. I’m sorry, that’s just the way it is.

If you think criticizing someone’s individual behavior makes you a “bigot” then you don’t know what the word means and you are so far removed from logical analysis that you are a moron.

You can disagree with me for criticizing Laura. You can say the word “moron” is too harsh to describe what she did. You can even say she did nothing wrong at all and make a case for that.

You can even call ME a moron for calling HER a moron.

But if I say what she did was moronic and then you say my criticism of her shows bigotry then you sir are a moron.

There’s no way around that.

Buy yourself a dictionary. Look up the word. Try to educate yourself out of your current moronic predicament. I have a feeling in your case your moron status is curable.
