likearock 2 #51 April 8, 2006 QuoteQuote>well Bill being called a media whore may have been an appropriate observation... Unbelievable. Give these guys a call; they could use you. You get to call military family members names to your heart's content. What's so unbelievable? In one post you said. "Same reason you didn't condemn Malkin when she called the mother of a dead US serviceman a whore, I suppose." In another you modified to say "media whore." Big difference...Let's at least try to be accurate and consistent, eh? Calling someone a whore, no matter how its qualified, is disrespectful. It doesn't have to literally mean prostitute. Let's say your brother died fighting in the Iraq war. Are you telling me you wouldn't be enraged if someone started calling your mother a something-whore?

Well, if you let your emotions drive you then yes, those people probably get enraged. However, if she WAS a something-whore, WTF? Truth hurts? Still a big difference between the meaning and intent of calling someone a whore or calling someone a media whore. Of course, that doesn't excused the social faux pas of mean-spirited name-calling.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

That family paid the ultimate price and should not be addressed that way. There's other ways of referring to someone who uses the media.

popsjumper 2 #54 April 8, 2006 My point is the difference between the two invectives. You point is the disrespectful behavior. I agree with your point. Oh, and BTW...truth does matter. We're getting way far away from the OPs point...can we get back on track now? McKinney is an asshole! How's that for disrespectful?My reality and yours are quite different.

twibbles 0 #56 April 9, 2006 QuoteQuoteThis is an interesting point, and I agree with you. The question becomes, why did the officer not arrest her? Probably for fear of having to go into hiding after she labeled him a racist or something like that. I only see one racist here, and it's not the officer.
