(21,506 posts)What he posted was was a play on words when taken in context with the post he was replying to was not the same as saying Hillary is a C***
Which you are pretending is what he posted.
I linked the whole thing elsewhere in this thread if you could point out where he posted Hillary is a C*** then we could be on the same page.
You aren't really comparing two like statements.
Given it was a discussion of Hillary refusing to take interviews and declaring that her speech would be the interview I think a cunning stunt is an apt description of the event.
It could also be taken as calling Hillary a C word. Which is why it was a play on words of course, and I am sure why NY who clearly does not like Hillary found it amusing and re-posted it.
I don't at all think it is the same as calling Hillary a C word or Obama a N...Maybe if it wasn't connected to a stunt Hillary pulled but it was.
I don't say this as a Hillary supporter or a Bernie supporter I think both have warts but also admire both in their own right and would be comfortable with either of them as our next candidate.
Either way I am tired of talking about it. I didn't see eye to eye with NY on a lot of things so having him gone doesn't really bother me other than in the sense that I find his banning over it to be very odd and demonstrably an uneven application of the rules.
A hide absolutely, though I have seen much worse stand. A banning is such an over reaction to that post that it leads me to believe it is personal and that worries me much more than one offensive post on a board chock full of them.
I leave the last word to you.
