Unless of couse that is the norm for democrat women?
No one asked you to buy anyone rubbers to have 24/7 sex.

Try to find a right winger who will condemn Limbaugh's statement.
Isn't that the truth! His lackeys rush (pun intended) to defend him every time he makes one of these statement.

It's a huge stretch, so much that the rubber band (again, pun intended) breaks. She was asking to have this as part of her beneifits.

It's very simple logic but eludes a lot of people, obviously. If she wants to screw around, she needs to pay for it herself and not ask everyone else to support her disgusting lifestyle.

I guess it's more of that rocket science stuff. One needs to have an IQ over 50 to get it.

Damn!
Knock of the snark. You're not making any points as it is.

It was wrong for Limbaugh to address her in this way and I've already said this.

By the way at 30 she should pay for her own birth control and not ask the rest of us to pay for her/others sex life.
WILLOW PALIN IS 18 YEARS OLD!

Not buying your hypocrisy or faux outrage.
I think it is because you are not capable of processing the difference. Could be morality could be intelligence either way=bad!

Maybe you could enlighten us, since your morality and intelligence are obviously much higher!

I wasn't asked for anything, since he was addressing another poster... if it really matters that much to you, I'm sure a little research would provide such "proof" (which is an abstract request at best).

Maybe you should go post that crap in the Bible Belt state forums.
I'm not aware of a "Bible Belt" forum, but clearly my comment was related to THIS thread - and if you need to dictate where people post things, why not ask the OP to post this crap in the Entertainment forum? After all, Kathy Griffin is an entertainer and clearly not a political figure.

You can wish death on other people. You can call anyone the worst names you can think of. BUT, I believe things like making fun of gays is actually still off limits and perhaps making fun of blacks. Other than that, just call yourself a comedian, and you get a pass. Except if you're not a liberal.
And on the flip-side, the conservatives like to call their vile hate speech "talk radio."

And is it me, or are most of the most vile "comedians" liberal. Sure seems that way.
Yup, it is just you... I guess some people have selective hearing, LOL.

Try this, buy different panties and they won't bunch up on you so much.

And like I said above, the conservative version of this takes the form of "talk radio" - and I have no problem with that, since I can always change the channel if something offends me! Face it, people from ALL sides of the political spectrum say offensive things sometimes... occasionally it's in the context of comedy or talk radio/tv, while other times it is simply an exercise in free speech. Are you guys implying she shouldn't be allowed to say this, or are you just whining for the sake of whining?
I think you read a little too much into my post.

Some people do hide behind comedy like a shield, as a way to savagely attack their perceived foes. It is not exclusively done for political reasons. People can make truly hateful jokes aimed at specific races, social standings, educational levels, genders, religions, handicaps and yes even political parties.

What matters is that people are referring to her as a CHILD, when she is legally an adult - and even at 17, she was old enough to know better.

We have two designations for youth here in the library, children and young ADULTS. Anyone over 12 is considered a young adult, so in my book she hasn't been a child for at least 5 years now. I don't know about you, but at 17 I was already living on my own (graduated from HS at 17, since I'm a fall birthday) and more than capable of knowing certain words aren't appropriate to use.

The same could be said to all who are whining about a comedienne, who is known for saying shocking/offensive things... I mean, does this really surprise anyone? Were you also shocked and outraged when George Carlin did his "Seven Dirty Words" schtick?

it wasn't private! The comments were nationally televised on Bristol's show! If they had been private, we would not even be discussing this!
To be fair, Willow and Bristol weren't the only young people on her series who had potty mouths. All of them were bleeped often.
