Of course it got derailed by her use of the C word because the media sucks. But she makes a valid point otherwise. We can all feel the frustration.

(51,590 posts)until team tRump that is. They bring out the worst in people.
Remember when Michelle Wolfe made jokes about Sarah Fuckubee Sanders at the W House Corr Dinner? Every GOP idiot assumed she said something insulting about Sarah but when you listen to her remarks she did NOT say any of the things she was accused of. The GOP is hypocrisy to the Nth degree.

(6,810 posts)"Cunt" while raw and visceral, it's just lazy.
I do like Sally Fields' take on this though.

TBS says they should have bleeped it out and they have pulled it from Youtube and other streaming sources.

(4,429 posts)I don't use vulgarities for male or female anatomy. But I have to say, drawing the line at THIS word is sexist.
Had she called Ivanka a D*ck no one would have said a thing. Or a penis. Or any other word for male anatomy (I can think of a few more).
But somehow THIS is the one word you can't use? Why??

(45,433 posts)but there is something about the C word that people seem to draw the line here in America. Not the case in the UK or Australia.

(6,699 posts)When you call a liar a liar....you call deplorable ameriKKKans deplorable....you call a feckless bitch a feckless c..t......I have a really hard time with finding fault in that.
I thought Hillary NEVER should have apologized for calling the "basket of deplorables" such. She might have elaborated...but to apologize? Did President Obama apologize for saying these redneck bastards "cling to their bibles and guns"?? If he did..that was wrong, because they FUCKING DO!!!....and that's an issue. That's reality.
Now, to call someone a racial slur, or to make up shit and call someone a liar because they told "A lie" is crossing the line. I know the reich wingers like to compare President Obama's one statement about "keeping your own doctor" to this idiot's THOUSANDS of lies on a daily basis. There is NO comparison. I stole something when I was 13 from a store. I am NOT a thief.
This is where we are at today. Conflag bull shit as normal. It's not..and we had better keep the sights clear and call bull shit.

(45,433 posts)Men call each other similar insults and it's not as offensive as calling a woman that. Trump has used the P word on many men he doesn't like. Jon Stewart called Tucker Carlson a dick to his face and it was awesome.
