I bet O-Hole had no idea what, or who the original “Geronimo” was. Could have been a type of turtle for all he knew.

We must, of course, investigate and change the name of the vine-plant, the “Wandering Jew”. It is obviously anti-semitic to use that term since we only wandered in the desert for 40 years, not an eternity. We did find a home and settle down, didn’t we?

I suggest that we now call it the “Wandering Hebrews” vine. More PC.

When is this bullshit gonna stop?

We have the Washington Redskins as our football team here in the DC area and they want to change that name too. My God, they might call it the “Washington Pink Skins”, or the “Washington Darker Than Whitey Skins”.

Ah hell, why not call them the “Washington Foreskins” and really stir up things. We’re dealing with a bunch of PC pricks anyway.

We're American Indians, not ‘Native Americans’ And the Oneida stuck their nose in other people's business again.. Let's hear from the Apache, if they're done celebrating yet that Osama’s toast.

501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of World War Two fame
used the Motto and battle Cry “GERONIMO”
They were one of the Regiments that made up the famous
101st Airborne Division. ( The Screaming Eagles )

It’s a military thing. If you’re offended by the trops of today using the name “Geronimo” Tough Sh*t. Geronimo !!

I always thought he went by the nickname the Navajo’s gave him—Geronimo. The Apaches thought he was a bore—”He who yawns”.

They should have named him “Kenny” after that kid from South Park. Why? Because Kenny always gets killed. “OMG! We killed Kenny!”

I tried to tell them to nickname Osama bin Laden, ‘BarneyFrank’, but did they listen to me? NO!

I liked Michael Medved’s story about how Prescott Bush stole the skull of Geronimo and spirited it away to Yale University where it is in the (secret) custody of the ‘Skull and Bones’ society. Medved then speculated that maybe the skull of Osama bin Laden (codename: “Geronimo”) may have the same destination.

Doubt that you know how the military started using the term “Geronamo” when they when into battle of jumped from a plane.

The first dog to jump from a plane (with parachute) was named Geronamo. Everyone from that day forward yell “Geranamo” for that dog. If he could do it so could they.

” native Americans are circling the wagons over the use of “Geronimo” “ Isn’t that a mixed metaphor? Maybe not. I suppose the Native Americans did ride in an even bigger circle around the circled wagons.

I always thought the suggestion of disrespect
was ridiculous. As a general rule, I don't
believe any professional or non-professional
sport teams name themselves after losers. Show
me any that have called themselves the “carters,”
“clintons,” or “obamas.”

I liked it when the Redskins threatened to move to Laurel, MD, if they couldn't get a new stadium paid for with tax dollars. I was hoping they would go an extra couple miles to Savage, MD. I would pay for season tickets just to watch liberal heads explode every time someone said "Savage Redskins".
