Hey McCain, was choosing that brainless idiot for VEEP the right thing? YES or NO !!!!!?????? [View all] RBInMaine Feb 2013 OP

Touché on both points. tblue Feb 2013 #1

Thank you. Yes, my language was tough, but is was sarcasm and satire and that is all. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #2

Not sexist. Misogynistic. JTFrog Feb 2013 #18

I think McCain choosing her was a good thing. Kalidurga Feb 2013 #3

Yes, good for us in that sense, but good for him? Good for the country if he had gotten in? NOPE. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #4

Yeah somehow I am not worried about what is good for McCain... Kalidurga Feb 2013 #5

Me neither. But the question to him would be whether was it a good choice for HIM and the NATION. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #6

LOL I guess I was looking at it from a positive outcome perspective... Kalidurga Feb 2013 #7

Barack Obama WON in 2008. Sarah had NOTHING to do with President Obama winning. graham4anything Feb 2013 #8

You're missing the point. This is about McCain's judgement. Palin was a rotten choice, period. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #10

Voters judged in 2008 and in a landslide voted FOR President Obama graham4anything Feb 2013 #14

You might want to take a look at what other DU'er's think about your language. mnhtnbb Feb 2013 #9

One post in thousands. Tons of other "language" on here all the time. Toughen up. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #11

5 to 1 jury agreed with me. You were out of line. Wise up. mnhtnbb Feb 2013 #13

I would expect you will alert on "Rinsed Penis" the next time you that as well. Hmmm...? RBInMaine Feb 2013 #28

"Toughen up" against misogynistic language? obamanut2012 Feb 2013 #16

I will not toughen up. Texasgal Feb 2013 #22

So stuff like "Rinsed Penis" is ok but the rough anti-Palin language wasn't? Double standard. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #12

But "naked man" and "rinsed penis" is ok? Try Hypersensitivity Anonymous. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #26

you purposely used language you knew would be offensive to every woman on du. that was your intent. seabeyond Feb 2013 #21

You are being hypersensitive and ridiculous to generalize and extrapolate like that over one post. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #25

your post was misogynist. that simple. your dismissal and lecturing women on being hypersensitive is seabeyond Feb 2013 #27

Again, "Rinsed Penis" is fine and dandy. Other things are not. Double standards. Hypersensitivity. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #29

your post was misogynist and you excuse it. nt seabeyond Feb 2013 #30

BTW, I guess the woman from whom I first heard say that is "mysoginistic" as well. So lighten up. RBInMaine Feb 2013 #31

that is what a misogynist would say. sumthin' to be proud about. nt seabeyond Feb 2013 #32

I, myself have always wondered Sheepshank Feb 2013 #23

Answer the question Magoo.. The right thing to do ?? Yes or No. We know the answer and Filibuster Harry Feb 2013 #24

No one needs to "toughen up" to suit you. We have standards, and this misogyny you display disgusts bettyellen Feb 2013 #33

No fool like an old fool....I have absolutely NO respect left for McCain... Tippy Feb 2013 #34
