Reply #286: The only context that I've seen the word has to do with people who

[MADem]

thought that Obama was "faking it" during the election, just to get elected, and once he got in the White House, he was going to put on his Che tee shirt, grow his hair and get a blowout kit, take to the microphone and scream "Fight the POWAH, you muthafuckas!!!" while legalizing pot (planting some on the WH lawn, of course), appointing Kucinich as Gates' replacement, providing free housing and a no-work stipend for everyone, mandating books made of hemp in the public schools, dragging every registered Republican to the courts to be tried for war crimes....etc., etc. and so forth.

Yes, that's garishly hyperbolic, but when I've seen the word "poutrage," I've seen it in that context--that Obama has been "insufficiently attentive" to a wide variety of issues of import to his former supporters, and now they're angry because he apparently wasn't saying that stuff to get elected....he actually meant it.

Now, that's NOT to say that the term hasn't been used in other contexts, I've just not seen it used as a blanket slur with a purpose to SPECIFICALLY TARGET gays. I'd need a link to lay my eyes on such a thing. In my reading, I have noticed that it specifically targets someone who "thought" Obama was going to do something beneficial to the far left end of the tent, even though his campaign speeches said otherwise.
