Beto O'Rourke Calls Mass Shootings 'F---ed Up,' CNN Doesn't Bleep

Like an adolescent seeking attention, Beto O'Rourke, desperate for any hook to hoist his pitiful polling position, has resorted to puerile vulgarity. O'Rourke has glommed onto the issue of mass shootings as his last, best shot to salvage his drain-circling candidacy.
O'Rourke was a guest on CNN's State of the Union this morning. Guest host Dana Bash began by playing a clip in which O'Rourke, addressing a campaign gathering yesterday regarding the shootings in Texas, called the situation "f---ed up." CNN bleeped out the vulgarity. But when Bash invited O'Rourke to comment on the situation live in the studio, he again spoke of it being "f---ed up," and this time, CNN didn't bleep it.
Get the rest of the story and view the video here. Note: video contains unbleeped vulgarity.

Both parties are desperate for attention.

He’s right. It is effed up. About as effed up as exploiting it for political gain.

In 1980, Barry Commoner tried to get attention for his Citizens Party by taking out radio ads with the “S” word. Because it was political commentary (”The Republicans and Democrats are giving you s-—”) it was not bleeped, and Mr. Commoner got some newspaper coverage for the vulgar language. Here we are, a few years later, and a major party candidate who had been a U.S. Congressman, is dropping strategic F-bombs for attention and a readily accessible news network keeps it in, trying to get attention ... any attention, for itself. Sad.

Look at me: I’m cool! I say dirty stuff on TV! And I guess you were right there to record it since you claim the video to be your own.
Because I know that no honorable person would steal video.
That would be trashy, wouldn't it?

It’s OK Bob. Your constituents and their kids are probably watching teevee. Idiot.

He’s so hip when he uses that term. He’s down with the kids.

He just wanted to say “f**k” to Dana Bash. He’s edgy...

Yo, CNN, if you want to be REAL edgy, change the name of your channel to FNN. Never mind. I’ll do it.
