Though no tape of McCain's quip has yet emerged, this is what he reportedly said:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

You just insult her by calling her a retard. OK. More insults, still no substance.

I was thinking about Chelsea Clinton. I have a feeling many of those currently crying FOUL were guilty of making jokes about Chelsea. Probably got a big yuk-yuk about it as they stood around their pick-ups adorned with mudflaps depicting an overly-endowed woman silhouette in shiny chrome.

How must that have felt to a pre-teen/teenage girl? Would you want someone to hurt your daughter like that?

A great man once called it "selective outrage."

edit: no it's not right in any case. It happens. My point is the selective outrage. Just like Palin, it only upsets you if by yelling you seem righteous and good, and your feigned anger propels your agenda.

I have made no statements about Pelosi's mothering skills other than to point out the duplicity and short memory of the Lefty-wingnuts. I will always insult Pelosi the politician.

As I stated, it was to point out the duplicity. I am glad you now see it.

The post you were responding to was about McCain, and said nothing about his parenting skills or whether he should have been a politician. So no, you were pointing out no duplicity or hypocracy.

Does anyone here really think Palin has or should have a shot in hell at ever getting elected? The best I can come up with is that the left would love to have her on the ticket, cuz then whoever is on the other side is a shoo-in.

ETA - and rightfully so. (no pun intended)

And yet....

When a Fox TV show (Family Guy) - a hyper-satirical show - makes a cheap joke about someone with Down Syndrome, her response is:

Quote:
This world is full of cruel, cold hearted people, who would do such a thing.
The woman is a walking contradiction. And a partisan moron.

No. I and I don't know anyone who would vote for her either.

The funny part is, aside from Stewies' song about her, the show doesn't make fun of the girl with downs. It doesn't even make fun of Palin. it just says that the girls' mother used to be Governor of Alaska.
Other than that, it was about a main character falling in love with a girl with downs syndrome.

But Palin being Palin, that cunt is open for anything that will keep her name in the news and anger her tea baggers.

The episode (which, yes, I have actually seen) was actually an example of equal, non-discriminatory treatment in its purest form--just not the "warm and fuzzy" kind people like to see. The Down's Syndrome girl was portrayed as the opposite of the usual Down's stereotype, therefore showing that people of all kinds are unique beyond their "classification" and have their own personality and character.

I have tried, but I don't remember Palin being mentioned at all.
