Politics is a bare knuckled, mean spirited, dismantling of the opposition. And then there's the ugly side of it.
No that's not it .
On this Forum people have been suspended for typing the words *** or cracker and other harmless words . Libs go on and on with this lewd word and its OK . If I don't post for three days its for this post I am taking a chance on now.

sure why not name call instead of discussing the issues. Oh that's right, the issues your party pushes are failures.

"Hate speech" is a little extreme, don't you think?

Since when does the left have a monopoly on catty epithets? Someone should tell Ann Coulter. She'll have to find another line of work or switch parties.

and you have always been wrong. Fox News said tea bagging. The homosexuals and the spiteful, hateful and devient left used teabagging.

Just watch the smirks and smiles as liberal commentators use the term to describe a political movement.

Even this Forum puts up with this term for now as acceptable. No asterisks on the above term. Come on liberals lets hear your rationalizations for the term in question. Get ready for the hate because here it comes.

Even our wonderful President likes to use the term describing the oral fondling of male genitalia. Thanks for the change Mr President. I guess if the Pres can use the term its not hate speech yet.

I guess its sticks and stones for the Teabaggers but libelous slander for the "you decide"
They have the word ***** blocked on these forums, a word that is used to describe something odd, or peculiar, it rhymes with leer. But teabagger which we all know what sexual act it refers to, that is okay, but a legitimate word to describe an odd or funny situation is blocked.

I've never used the term. I don't personally find it offensive, but I recognize that many people are offended by the term, so I don't use it. Never have. It's counter-productive to having real conversations with people, and that's what I try to do on this forum.

lol because your dad lived through it means so much more than the economists who have since written on it. You don't get it and probably never will. Read a current book about FDRs failed policies during the depression and how the dems helped stop the nonsense.

And I gotta ask, you are giving up your Social Security and Medicare when you come of age, right?
I'll include unemployment.
Unemployment, nope never have
SS, probably BUT I wont live long enough to get my money back. SS isnt a make or break thing for me. Through solid decisions and planning, I've provided for my retirement.
Medicare, probably but I haven't been to the hospital since I was a kid

Pay attention now because you don't seem to follow very well. ALL of those things people have been FORCED to pay into and they deserve to get their money out of it. Why would you speak out against someone who pays into something and wants something in return? Like I said, I don't think you get it.

I wish I had a chance to opt out of this stuff and use MY money as I see fit. I would have saved even more than I have now. But because we have people, who refuse to take personal responsibility like an adult, I am stuck once again paying into an inefficient, costly government run program.
You want the government to take care of you from cradle to grave. I want something that works well and that I believe in. Me!

I personally didn't know what that means and I am not some 70 year old grandma. I found it out when people were offended by it and I didn't know why. I don't use it anymore but I think these people need to get over it.
Are you really that insecure of your own sexuality that you are scared being called a tea******?

If a black man self identifies himself as 'n*gger' does he have the right to claim discrimination or sue for slander if someone calls him that? Tea Party self identified ignorantly, but once you open that door blaming others for your own ignorance isn't anyone else's fault. I don't want to hear it. Case dismissed.

Oh wait. You are the user that instead of writing Obama, you write 0bama.

Not a big fan of Obama, but THIS is childish. If you don't show respect to other users (that support Obama) by spelling his name correctly, then why should anyone respect you?
Disagreeing with politicians is one thing, spelling their names incorrectly is childish and annyoing.
