Quote:Letterman didn't say Sarah Palin IS a slut - said she had "a slutty flight attendant look."

And also didn't say youngest daughter IS a "whore" (from your topic post) - he said "she got knocked up by A-Rod." Nobody worth listening to would take that seriously any way, especially after his public "Mea Culpa." You do know a whore is a female who gets paid for having sex, don't you?

Wow, how far we've progressed. 40 years ago if someone said "damn" in prime time they were fined by the FCC. Today, a late night talk show host can make jokes about a 14 year old getting raped, and his applauded by 30% of the population, and excused by another 15%.

Dip, you're going over the top. Breathe into a paper bag for a few minutes and calm down. It was poor taste joke, not a drive bye shooting.

There's no gray area, IT'S WRONG!

Go to a comedy club sometime when you get outside of the "can do" Kalamazoo, you'll hear worse in the warm up act fifteen times. Watch the comedy channel, they sling stuff similar to this in four times in half an hour.

You need to get out more.

Oh man! Did I miss the chance to ask "How Gray?"

The comedy club is right here. Watching people set aside their values in the name of politics.

Since we've redefined what acceptable morals are when talking about family members, can I conclude that we can call each others wives "sluts" and refer to each others daughters as whores as long as there's an "LOL" after it?

Major: Hey Dip, how's that slutty wife of yours doing? LOL "Ha ha ho ho ha ha"

Dip: She's doing great, thanks for asking. And how's that little whore of yours doing, has she graduated yet? LOL "Ho ho ho ha ha ha"

After spending some time in the Spin Room, this board is wicked tame.

That said, any chance the political posts ever make their way over there?

The only thing I enjoy about this entire fake story is listening to Hannity react to it.

Thank you, Sir.

The GOP is becoming the party of victims, which makes me chuckle because my parents used to call the Dems the party of victims. We're all victims! Can't we bond over that at least?

Quote:The only thing I enjoy about this entire fake story is listening to Hannity react to it.

Hannity is no better than the people on the left making excuses for it. In both cases it's about politics.

This is a right and wrong issue and should be portrayed as such.

Well there's hope for you. You're parents were correct.

Maybe we all need to excuse The Dipper somewhat:

Was it a joke about rape or about their loose conservative values? :domokun:

The Dipper needs to get some his attacks straight: Did Letterman call Palin's 14-year old a whore, or imply she was raped?

No to neither, but I'm sure someone did and that's what is being parroted.

This is the common thread to all chipdip posts. He need say nothing more.

Absolutism tolerates no difference of opinion.

Celebrated
Joe Sr. Kennedy ordered that his daughter Rosemary have a lobotomy because she was retarded. He did it without telling Rose Kennedy first.

JFK's had affairs with Marilyn Monroe and many others while he was married.

Ted Kennedy drove a car off a bridge on Massachusetts' Chappaquiddick Island after a party, fatally injuring aide Mary Jo Kopechne. He then left her to die after escaping.

Ted's son Patrick, now a Congressman, sought treatment for cocaine addiction as a teenager.

Joe II Kennedy, tried to get an annulment (instead of a divorce) erasing his 12-year marriage. Joe wanted to remain in the church.

Michael Kennedy had an affair with his family's underage baby sitter.

William Kennedy Smith was accused of rape at the family's Palm Beach, Florida, estate after a party with Uncle Ted.

David Kennedy overdosed in drugs and died in 1984.

Bobby Jr. overdosed on heroin in 1983 while aboard an airplane. He was arrested upon landing.

Keep 'em all straight, Chip !! Maybe DL will have the same result as Rosie !! Hope so. Of course, I NEVER watch the b - - - - - d.

^ Think Letterman has already been on the air a wee bit longer than Rosie was.

You never watch him, but know he's a b-----d? How does that work?

Memphis has a football team? Who knew. Do they use same recruiting tactics (substitute SAT test-taking for ex.) as the basketball program?

Quote:Absolutism tolerates no difference of opinion.

If something is absolute, why should you tolerate difference of opinion?

There isn't any gray area when a 62 year old man makes a joke about raping at 14 year old. It's absolutely wrong.

Abortion is a classic example. There is no gray area when it comes to abortion. Like the Letterman thing, Liberals get very frustrated when trying to defend this. In both cases, they know it's wrong, but they're just too tied to the politics to admit it's wrong.
This was a human, and it was ground up like hamburger.
That's an absolute.


Some issues have gray areas. Gay marriage, affirmative action, war in Iraq, universal health care. Others don't.............Grown men making jokes about raping 14 year olds, grinding up babies in the name of some unknown constitutional right called privacy (doesn't exist). While they have different degrees of importance, They're both absolutes
