After all, he's advocating rape of young girls, and in your mind, even if he were talking about 18-year-olds, it would be just as disgusting, right?

And clearly he's saying he likes fucking underage girls, so I'll be waiting for you and all your right-wing buddies to vilify him. Heck, you should probably call for him to be fired. WhoZit, I'm sure, will want Jongsy killed, just like he wanted Letterman dead.

Surely you'll want to put politics aside and tell me "good job!" for pointing out this kind of disgusting "humor" to you so you can denounce it, yes?

I'll wait. I won't hold my breath though.

Meanwhile, more than a day later, I'm still eagerly awaiting the right-wingers' vociferous denunciation of Jongstraw's hate speech and utterly tasteless jokes about raping underage girls.

C'mon, Finn - how can anyone here ever believe anything you say when you clearly exercise such a set of double standards?

I guess we can't. Not that I've ever put much credence in your words in the first place, but I think we can all plainly see which side your partisan bread is buttered on...


Kwicko,
You didn't catch that Jongstraw was personalizing the joke in order to get a different response from you?
I'm thinking perhaps you did but are being intellectually dishonest in order to further your phony righteous indignation.
Either that or you really do have a difficult time keeping up with the discussions going on in RWED.

Actually that's rather the cut and thrust of his post. Did you get that he was pointing out that you all throw a fit when someone else does it, but it's no harm no foul when you do? Are you being intellectually dishonest in order to further your phony righteous indignation?

At the moment all you seem to be doing is rather confirming Kwicko's point.

That's funny, I thought he was doing a bang up job of confirming my point.

You missed it, but that is okay.
I miss stuff sometimes also.

Isn't there a thread title somewhere that you have to play with?

Bingo.

BigDamnKnobBudddy really is quite slow on the uptake. He, JSF, Jongs, and Rap all seem to be the same person, none of them too bright.

If all of you on the right are SOOOOOO outraged by Letterman's comments, why aren't you incensed by the kind of crap Jongstraw is spewing? Why aren't you in front of his house protesting? Why aren't you demanding he be fired from his job?

I can tell you why *I'M* not doing any of those things: Because I'm not offended, because I know IT'S A FUCKING JOKE.

Well, yeah, but you once stayed in the shower for a week washing your hair because the instructions on the shampoo bottle said "Lather. Rinse. Repeat."

You stare at frozen orange juice for hours on end because the label says "Concentrate".

If you keep repeating that mantra do you think it will somehow come true?

Why can't you see that Jong said what he/she said to try to personalize the issue for you. You were pretty cavalier about dismissing Letterman's joke about a 14 year old girl. Perhaps If you could somehow put yourself in the Palin's shoes. You know, what if someone joked about getting 'your' 14 year old daughter knocked up. If that dosen't make your blood boil, it's definently a good thing you decided against kids. Besides, according to some, Letterman has a far larger audience than Jongstraw so that makes what Letterman said far worse.

So in your books, anyone can spew any hateful thing they want so long as they add that it's only a joke.

...Why is it all about parents getting angry about their kids getting "knocked up"? I'm still seeing so much assumption about rape being implied here that isn't necessarily the case.

Why would your blood boil if it was your daughter's choice? If someone were to make a joke about your daughter choosing to become pregnant at a young age, why would it cause outrage?

I think Bristol made a choice. If Willow made a choice, does it change if she's only 14? If it was your daughter?

Say your 14 year old son chose to jump off of a river bridge. Say the water was not deep enough and an injury occured causing a severe developmental disorder. Would it be okay for someone to make a joke about your 'retard'?
