Washington Post editorials will no longer use ‘Redskins’ for the local NFL team

Washington Post ^ | August 22, 2014 | Editorial Board

Just call them the “foreskins”

If you mean those on the "editorial board", then I agree.....they're really ignorant dick-heads.

Why is the Washington Post editorial page writing about the Redskins period?!

[b4its2late]

That they are!

[Albion Wilde]

This is understandable. Different people are offended by different things. For example, I am sometimes offended by Post content, such as the above editorial. Why can’t they just do the decent, reasoning thing and go out of business?

LOL!!

KR will no longer use the Washington Post. (actually, that was as of c. 1973)

I sympathize -- it's hard to boycott a paper you wouldn't read for free in Starbucks. When I was growing up in DC, there were two papers: the Washington Star (for normal Americans) and the Washington Post (for Democrats). We would never have the Post in our house.

WaPo is run by a bunch of smarmy little jerks. Their moral superiority smells to high heaven.

Last year, the WaPo was bought by Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com. So, yeah... leftie moral superiority.

But I now know how the expression “Dumb as a Post” became a synonym for stupid

Nice one!

Great point!

That probably hasn’t gone on since the end of Camelot. Nowadays D.C. `power people’ suck up to the likes of Sally Quinn or Michelle Obama. Really class acts, both of them.

I like the shots of Moochelle's butt going through a doorway. It's always an adventure in architectural survival.

[What are they going to do? Call them “The R-words”?]

The Ebonyskins.

"Redmen".

"Ruddymen".

"Assassins, genocides, and cannibalizers of the original Eurasian paleo-occupants of America".

Oops. Now I've done it.

LOL!

“...an adventure in architectural survival.”

LOL! I like to refer to Hillary as “The Flying Buttress” but she has some dangerous competition. They don’t like each other too much, either.

Society changes its views not based upon society, but based upon media propagandists. The media as way too much discretionary controll over acceptability of our thought processes as they pit us against one another.
