I dropped cable a long time ago and watched oreilly through other means. I refuse to watch TV now, unless it’s DVDs or something.
Leave the kids out of it. And I mean ALL the kids.
You just contraticted yourself and where did I say racism?
If a child that is eleven, and walking, talking, or simply dressing like a skank, the thought would enter my mind, as to did her mother make her dress that way, or did did she choose her outfit?
If her mother chose to dress her that way, by cajole or by force, then what exactly is the Mother's motive?
If the child herself chose to dress that way, what is her motive?
I would not simply assume that a naked girl dancing down the street is so overjoyed that she forgot her clothes, but then, that is me. You obviously have higher levels of intellect and see nothing but the good in all.
You can say what you want without being bottom of the barrel.
So you smell Axelrod negative astroturfing too, eh? I just hope Bon is not in their pay as well. He has written some good stuff in the past.
I agree the mods did their job and pulled it when it was reported.
My frustration is with the actual Freepers on this thread who believe that an 11 year old girl is fair game.
Racist or not, some of the statements being defended are indefensible.
We also took offense at Governor Sarah Palin;s children being constantly attacked. Especially the baby.
How did that make you feel Mr. Selectively Offended Parks?
Not sure where the contradiction is. I didn't say you said they were racist but that's what this thread is about.
Of course I am serious. What she did was serious. If her parents are children, she has to grow up quick.
Because they are children!

“how can you claim those slurs were racist?”
Contradiction and remarking I said racism. Your words; not mine.
I'm sick and tired of white guilt. The double standard is appalling . Janeane Garafalo was calling Tea Party participants "tea-bagging racists" and her explanation in a video was : "I saw a sign in the crowd that said: What you talkin' 'bout, Willace?" related to high taxes. What? A script line from a sitcom that is repeated all the time is now racist!? And that was her first defense of what she said. I am no racist and yet I have used that line many many times and it is used as comedy in the exact manner that it was first conceived..."iimmitation is the most sincere form of flattery" will now get you accused of being a racist...
We were not attacking the kids on that thread. We WERE discussing very inappropriate clothing for and 11-year-old to be wearing in Italy on an official trip with the American President. I would have criticized the Bush twins for wearing the same outfit and I would have questioned the clothing the 15-year-old cousin was wearing if he had been with the Bush twins, also... the entire issue was one of inappropriateness.
We’re not going high ground.
We will defend ourselves.
