Methinks the kicker is that while he gets reamed for saying it once by accident, reporters gleefully & deliberately repeat it loudly and frequently - without consequence.

In other news, the ACLU has petitioned for the letters F, N, and Q to be removed from the English alphabet.

I keep wondering why I can't have my culture. Where I come from (high income, overly educated family) the words faggot, fairy, queer and I'm sure a few others were nothing more than labels for a homosexual. I don't remember any of them being any more derisive than calling a construction worker a hard hat.
I come from a culture where we believe that words are simply
words, old sayings like
sticks and stones are grounded in tradition and reality, people were secure enough not to be offended by the arrangement of letters, and people were a bit more impervious to criticism.
Just the sheer number of jokes I can no longer tell because of the proclivities of a society full of panty waist liberals is staggering.
I'm proud of who I am, where I came from, how I was raised, my vocabulary; and I want these pissants to respect my culture.

My gay friend told me that he only gets offended when someone says faggot as a slur. If you are using it in fun, he could give a crap.

“Any entertainer worth his salt knows not to cross that line.”
I do a bit about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”. And I feel I am worth my salt.
Larry the Cable Guy does queer jokes and he gets more for one show than most people get in 10 years of work.
Milton Berle used faggotry as the brunt of many of his jokes.
