Let me spell something out for you that your mind might not be able to comprehend:

You're a H. Y. P. O. C. R. I. T. E..

Want proof? You can dish it out but you can't take it! Who are the real snowflakes again?

It's not the foul language that offends you. It's that we've taken away your right to be an asshole in public! Ok thanks for playing the outrage machine! Come back any time!

1. Hillary was too kind when she called them deplorables.

Being deporable would be a zillion steps up from how they act and behave and vote.

[Initech]

3. Oh I have much harsher words to describe them.

Worthless fucking assholes would be one phrase!

[smirkymonkey]

5. You are much too kind.

I don't think I know any words that are adequate to describe this scum of the earth. Every insult that I can think of just seems too mild to capture their essence.

[BigmanPigman]

11. I feel like the father in the Christmas film

A Christmas Story. It is about a kid in the 1940s who wants a BB gun as a gift. The father swears a lot and since it is PG-13 his swear words are mixture of made up gibberish like "mundane noodle" and what seems like "Butterfinger". I have to resort to swear words in French, German and Italian all combined. I can be quite creative.

33. I've been using a new MAGA definition

Manipulating America's Gullible Assholes

[Initech]

34. I've been calling them MAGAholes.

[47of74]

46. Yeah me too.

And it's still not enough.

[Timmygoat]

2. Great Find

Also I would add that Trump is the biggest name caller in the world, every timeI heard him call Senator Warren Pocohontas
because of her heritage I could not think of a better name for him than Hitler!

[Va Lefty]

4. So true. Deplorables then, Deplorable traitors now!

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Wonderful post, must have taken a while LOL

they are not offended by that word, they use it DAILY in their lives to describe their wives or the woman waiting on them at Starbuck's who took one minute too long

Deplorable assholes who support rump hate women in the first place.

America is upside down and way past words, hypocrisy and so on.

The right has aligned with RUSSIA against us. Need I say more?


PS every person allegedly offended by what Sam did I want to see a 5 year history of their comments on message boards, twitter and in real life where they routinely opposed the use of any derogatory word.

[Initech]

10. Seriously, and I've seen some pretty offensive shit on Twitter.

Just check out the feeds of David Hogg, Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Nancy Pelosi. Holy shit. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

[lordsummerisle]

7. k&r n/t

[cynatnite]

8. It's offensive to me no matter who uses it...

edited to add...

I don't expect everyone to conform to my personal limits when it comes to these things. Everyone has their own tolerance levels. This is just how I feel about it.

[John Fante]

9. Are you saying Trump supporters have credibility here?

[cynatnite]

19. How was I saying that?

The word offends me. Period. End of story.

I could list a few words that get bandied about here that offends me, but I usually don't because of how many react to it. It's not worth the time and effort.

Besides, everyone has a different tolerance level with some words and I don't expect everyone to conform to my personal limits when it comes to them.

[John Fante]

31. That's totally fine, but this thread is about Trump supporters

feigning outrage over Bee's comments, or even equating them for Roseanne's tweets. It's BS.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Oh absolutely not true. In UK and Australia it is used by MOST people everyday.

In America the word is used by RIGHTWINGERS about their wives and the woman at Starbuck's who took too long to serve them.

Occasionally AWESOME patriots like Sam Bee use the word to describe FILE human beings.

[cynatnite]

17. Well, no not only RWer's...

I've seen it bandied about by both sides. Samantha Bee is proof of that.

For me, it's offensive to women because of how it gets used. Maybe that's a US thing, but how it's used is why I find personal offense with it. As much as I loathe some women like Roseanne Barr and Ivanka, I would never call them that because of how I feel about the word.

[Tribalceltic]

37. One slip in a moment of anger

Versus at least a dozen times by trumpster and his supporters.

This is not equal by any means.

False Equivalency

Bandied about by ONE side, mentioned once by the other!

[mwooldri]

18. Suggestion... don't hang out in British (particuarly Scottish) pubs.

In the British Isles the 'c-word' is certainly crude but probably about as offensive as a 'fuck'.

It's also a non-gender word... in most circumstances you could substitute the words 'fucking idiot' for the 'c-word' to give the same meaning. But then we have rhyming slang... a berk... from "Berkley Hunt" meaning "c-word" meaning "fucking idiot".

[cynatnite]

20. I don't need a primer...I've been in a few British pubs in my day...

I know how I personally feel about it and I don't expect everyone to conform to my limits. Everyone has different tolerance levels when it comes to these things. Usually, I just stay quiet about it.

[geardaddy]

45. If you're ever walking around in Caernarfon in North Wales you'll hear it used in Welsh

as a greeting between young men.

"S'mae gont" ("Hello, c-word" )

It's actually a term of endearment. That said, I know it's offensive to many.

[kacekwl]

23. I agree with you .

The post points out how disgusting trump followers are and how they can dish it but become OUTRAGED when said to them. But the comment by Bee has done nothing but give yet another distraction and motivation for these dimwits to vote for the poor victim.

[Marcuse]

13. The station should expect a visit from the Trump FCC.

[fleabiscuit]

22. Its cable. nt

[Marcuse]

24. Ah. Never mind then.

16. Look at it this way....

all the trash and scum in this country have collected themselves in one box...Dumpsterism. You really don't have to guess about people's integrity or character anymore. It's now obvious. Dumpster supporter? We now know exactly who they are.

[renate]

21. thank you! The idea that right-wingers are suddenly coming all over faint is pathetic

I wish she'd used a different word and I think it was a mistake to say what she did. But their calls to fire her are just so opportunistic.

[GoCubsGo]

25. This needs to be pinned at the top of the board.

[ProudLib72]

26. ....

27. THANK YOU, Initech!!

29. I got most of those from The Hill's feed today.

There's even more there - it's insane how foul these people are.

[Cha]

30. Wow.. well thanks for putting it all

together for us. It damn well does need to be said.. I think it should be PINNED, too.

[KrazyinKS]

28. I detest that word

But boy are you right, they have used it over and over again. Sit there and just continuously insult and demean people.

[world wide wally]

32. Samantha Bee should have said,, "Trump is a prick"

[forgotmylogin]

40. I bet if she'd called Ivanka a "feckless dick" nobody would have even noticed. (n/t)

[Ferrets are Cool]

35. Fantastic collection and post. Thank you for going to the effort . nt

42. Wonderful way to call out the hypocrites

[syringis]

43. Hi Initech

What else do you want them offended by?

You mean they should be, because of a black man's murder, which one of their own ran over?

Are you kidding?

[HenryWallace]

44. The race toward to bottom!

Uh Thanks.... I think?

[Boomerproud]

47. Someone PLEASE print this and email it to your hometown RW rag, CNN, Faux, the White House etc etc

Just letting it sit here on DU is preaching to the choir. My printer isn't working properly.

[cstanleytech]

48. No, Trump supporters have proven they have no shame and were not offended over what she said rather

they are hoping to use it to shield him and those in his administration from any criticism for current or past misdeeds.
