Well, you're older (nothing against that) and, sorry to say, not quite up on the things that go one these days in the younger crowd.

I hear it all the time between women and they're not enemies, they're friends and not just one set of friends, it's between large numbers of women.

Of course some stay classy and don't use such vile wording to address their friends.

Heck, just look at the selective outrage of people like harborlady.

Rush apologized, Maher never would.
It always pays to read previous posts:

I like the way they twist Rush's words to make it "I hope the country fails", which couldn't be farther from the truth. He said he hopes Obama fails so America doesn't.

What is the definition of that word? Does it define womanhood? For some men like Rush it does. This is not a one time incident.

The term c*nt is a vulgar expression aimed at female genitalia motivated by male resentment of their own sick desire using sexuality as a means of dehumanizing another. The very word describes both behavior and the resentment of someone who believes themselves victimized by the very values they've embraced. A projection of their own abdication of responsibility.

The entire republican party/ right wing media is a c*nt when their behavior is the only criteria for judgment.

I'm deeply saddened to see Kay Bailey leave politics. She deserved so much better than the crap she's had to work with for colleagues.
What a demented post!

Rush (and so many other neocons) are attacking her for speaking up on healthcare issues, and decided to assume things about her sex life based on her support of birth control coverage. How does that make her promiscuous or a prostitute? Are you saying any woman who uses birth control is sleeping around? If so, that is where the misogynistic view comes into play, and THAT is what most people are angry about right now.

It's not about the words, it's about the implications and false assumptions... get that through your heads already.


This post shows how sick the left can be.
The joke by Rush was stupid, It implied that if she wants to get paid for her birth control then she was getting paid to have sex. He apologized. But Cun^ is okay with you sickos.

Free speech is free speech regardless if the term being discussed is one that a majority of individuals deem inappropriate or vulgar.

Calling people names like "sicko" or even "cun*" isn't the way to respond to somebody's actions you deem inappropriate or vulgar.

Taking the high road, also known as being ethical and responsible for what you say, is dying the quickest death I hoped I'd never see.

You know I didn't call anyone cun* so why would you say it?

While I usually don't respond to people if they don't understand the diction used in my posts, I'm going to with this one because I detect a hint of smugness on your part.

If you'd care to reread my post, I said ". . .or even cun*." Within the context used, this would imply that anyone using any derogatory term, even the word used, would be in the wrong. Since this thread is about Maher's comments towards women, excuse me for assuming people reading the posts would be able to use deductive reasoning.

No where in my post did I say you called anyone that term.

Thanks.

Just curious...do you live next to Meatwad, Shakezilla and Frylock?

Being a male **** is just as bad, and boinkin' a bunch of bimbos is nothing to be proud of in 2012.

Take off the gold chain and button up the shirt. No one wants to see the hair salad.
Says who? Honestly, in what universe (maybe apart from deeply religious fellows) is it not okay - encouraged even - for men to boink whomever they feel like?

Are you really telling me that men call other men sl*ts as a derogatory term? That a man's reputation can be ruined because of it?

Honestly?
