Comcast has a reputation, it paid shills to sit in on an FCC hearing where important media issues were being discussed, especially those on consolidation of ownership of print and electronic media in the same city.
A Google search turns up lots of info. on Comcast. They are part of the problem.
Where it happened doesn't matter...it's still retarded and shouldn't be happening. Implied violence against women is no better than implied violence against a black man. Both are equally as ignorant. I don't see anything funny about it, either.
Big Philly lol. Dont you have someone's homework to be doing?
That's not what they said...they explained what the meaning was. So, the intent was probably different than it sounded, but it STILL was not okay.
It's not cool to accuse someone of having a sentiment they never expressed.
I don't care if some of "you " think there is a secret meaning!
Saying someone should be stoned is a very cut n dry meaning!
But swim and wiggle away Obama lovers just love to rationalize bad actions of their candidate or their fellow followers but if a republican had said it they would want them tar and feathered!
The reason why they would say "lets stone her, old school", is because Philly fans are remembered for booing and throwing ice balls (stoning) Santa on the rink one Christmas. That is what that is in reference to.
Correct. They also booed children hunting Easter eggs as I recall.
Last night, prior to the Flyers game, I wrote that anyone who thought that it was a good idea to have Palin appear in Philly much less appear in Philly before a Flyers game had to have their head examined.
PS - In the clip that made all the news, Palin being asked about Pakistan by a student in the crowd, what was missed was the moment when the clerk at Pat's Cheese Steaks asked her what her name was.

Grudgingly, have to give it to them for sending her to Pats instead of Genos.

Ohhhh yeah...that's quite different! Glad you mentioned this.
I dont see any reason for you to slam mentally handicapped individuals either...while you're being so sensitive about black and feminine issues, you might want to check your handicapist language; "retardation" has nothing to do with it. There is no similarity between public behavior which you find offensive and individuals with cognitive handicaps.
I said that yelling out "Let's stone her, old school" is retarded.
The word retarded is an adjective that means: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress
I used that word because it accurately describes the behavior I was talking about.
Using the term to describe a person with any kind of disability would be offensive. That is not what I did nor would I ever do that.

Erm...I have been saying throughout this whole thread that it was WRONG. You put words in the mouth of the person who tried to explain what the phrase meant and I corrected you. Now you are trying to put words in my mouth as well.
No wonder I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall...
