(21,506 posts)Strikes me as jumping through hoops to pretend he called Hillary a C***
As anyone can see he didn't even mention her.
He was tickled by a play on words that could certainly be taken as calling her a C word but also could be taken as her telling reporters that her speech would be the interview as a cunning stunt.
Certainly offensive to some but when you start going on crusades and trying to justify a banning of a long time poster over it you are way off the beaten path.
A hide certainly, banning is ridiculous.
The ones jumping through hoops are people trying to pretend he said something he didn't, or pretending in the world of the internet where we talk to people from across the globe daily, that a word used every bit as often as we use fuck here in other parts of the world is so offensive as to lead to anything other than a hide.
It's nonsense and the same mindset that tries to justify things like blowing up journalists over a cartoon.
