I don't remember being involved there... but I'm certain I wouldn't put up with someone calling another Christian an A##$ole.

But I also reject your premise. If one of you tells me to "eat s$%t", I will feel he is childish, and I may treat him appropriately. Similar language when referring to the Savior is not within several orders of magnitude. I'm dissapointed with your response - your acting like the liberals jumping to defend Clinton's actions by pointing at Newt as being just as bad - now see... that's an offensive statement that stays on this side of the line.

(JHavard - I hope I'm not making myself a hypocrite here - is there a comparison to my reaction to the "finger thing")

Not with him on this one. Just pointing out your silence when it happens on the other side. And, yes, you were around. Wasn't that long ago.

Go look back in the 20's and 30's. I've been called more things than that. And not for the type of post you just witnessed from me. I don't generally get that Graphic. But, in anger some of us do things we may not intend. Believe me, I was only trying to make a point - not offend. If I wanted to offend I could have probably come up with far more creative than that post; but, that's not me.

I don't understand name calling at all. I understand labels, which are not always intended as a swipe but many times are regarded as such. One can say another is ignorant . And while merely intending to say they don't know their subject, it can be taken to mean they are a foolish moron. It may not be what was intended; but, that's how it gets read.
