Most of Mrs. Bush's humor at the correspondents' dinner was just right: Edgy but not over the edge. But I think the stripper and horse jokes were totally beneath her.
Just put it to the other-shoe test: If it were Teresa Heinz Kerry standing up on the dais telling the same jokes, the conservative commentariat would be buzzing for the rest of the year about what a tasteless skank she is.

I've only seen conservatives called "fundies" by the most radical of Democrats. The earliest use of the word that I saw was when an aging former member of the SDS ("Students for a Democratic Society"--communist organization in the late 1960s) was using the word against Republicans in general.

To: Howlin
the accusation was not made against ALL Christians, just the most strident ones The accusation was made against those who didn't agree with all Laura's remarks, some of whom are good christians and don't deserve the treatment.
To: Petronski
This is day FIVE of threads on this subject.
Unreal, huh?

But wait a minute... I have a question. If Good Christians are really Good Christians and they know the comparison to the "Taliban" doesn't fit.. why are they even bothering to be upset by the comparison to the "Taliban". Alia, would you be upset if people were mischaracterizing you? I would.

Here's the reply to the post, with the quote in it:
To: farmer18th
Only a whore would talk this way in public.
You think Laura's comments equate her to being a whore?

It's too bad you didn't get a chance to direct your anger at whom it was due instead of taking it out on those who don't deserve it. As you are doing to me? I don't recall directing any hateful invective in your direction. Your comment would appear to be mis-directed.
To: Petronski
no kidding; I'm laughing; this thread is such, um, an obvious one and there are agitators in this thread. I really should use my time more wisely right now; but I'm studying, here. :)

Ya know............................
Those whom many consider to be the founts of propriety have, I am certain, on occasion, cursed a blue streak and made drunken sailors blush. At the risk of offending the hardcore Bible-thumping religionists, I'd posit a whimsical thought that while the Christ was asking the Father to forgive us for we knew not what we did, He'd have had other words for the Romans, Pilate, et. al. cross His mind that would've shocked the Rev. Graham.
Not every librarian or Texas hand has 24/7 Puritan decorum.
You know what they say...'no one knows what goes on behind closed doors'.

More hyperbole. Just an excuse really for not being able to find ANY people on this board who think Laura is "white trash".>>>>>
Trailer park insult denotes white trash.
"Frankly, I now think that any view I had about Laura Bush being a "classy" lady was wrong. Maybe it was just a one time trailer park moment. But I don't think so. I also don't think the same of her husband anymore. A man I have supported for years.

It started with my comment that our First Lady should not be pandering to battleaxe feminists with her public "jokes" about her own husband ("milking" "male" "horses") and going to see men stripping. And that's exactly what she was doing. Comments like that are unbecoming of conservatives, and Michelle was right.

Good Christian. Bad Christian.

Getting upset over someone calling you names is not at all like Him Don't be ridiculous. Christians don't have to suffer abuse and not speak up. That's absurd.
There are christians who did like Laura's comments and christians who didn't like all of them. The latter should not be equated with the Taliban.
To: onyx
I've been avoiding these threads. Tonight I thought I'd take a dip in to see WHY there have been threads on this subject day after day.... whew.
