Is "republican piece of shit" a socially acceptable term?

[efhmc]

I was brought up never to call people names and that included racial slurs (and this was in Texas in the 50's). It was drummed into me that those terms were demeaning and were just not done, because all people should be treated with dignity. However, I am thinking that this term: "republican piece of shit" is not demeaning but just a descriptive, realistic term. Where is Ms. Manners when one needs her?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. If it's not, it certainly should be!

I say no more Mr. or Ms. Nice Guy!

[efhmc]

7. Well, of course, we agree but do you think one can use the term in

mixed company? Edited to add that by mixed company I mean Dems and repukes.

[tnlefty]

8. I hear ya!

I have no intention of being nice, and the namecalling may be juvenile to some, but that's how these fascist leaning pigs have managed to demonize liberal or progressive or just decent human being.

The gloves are off and pissin' 'em off is sport for me now.

[efhmc]

10. Ahh, perhaps that is too genteel a term for those killers.

[MnFats]

2. well, it's a little redundant.

otherwise, it's OK

[efhmc]

12. Now, that is funny. So the term shit and repuke are listed in the

dictionary as the same?

[DebJ]

3. It's just fine on this board!

[efhmc]

16. Of course, but we are the intellectual and socially elite of the

internet. What about the rest of the world?

[ForrestGump]

4. No, because it's an oxymoron

As opposed to an Oxycontin Moron:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. No

but "stupid fucknut Republican piece of shit" is...Miss Manners says it's not proper etiquette to hold back when scatalogically describing republicans.

[efhmc]

17. I knew you would have the answer. I should not have started

a thread but just should have asked you directly.

[Mass_Liberal]

58. hahah

"fucknut" Simply brilliant...

[Robeson]

6. Oh yes. Very acceptable. I use it all the time....

...:7

[mikehiggins]

9. Possibly rpos would suffice? If anyone asks you could explain

what it means.

For example, Tom Delay, rpos congressman.

[efhmc]

18. Saves time and is to the point. I like it.

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

11. Yes, it is acceptable. I use it frequently.

Sometimes I might use the variant, "Neocon piece of shit."

[efhmc]

20. Some people just will not stick to the original and must be creative and

go off on their own.

[libhill]

13. Sounds about

appropriate to me. If you think for a moment they don't call us worse, then you are seriously deluded.

[efhmc]

22. Well. I am really not concerned about their bad manners because they

live and breathe hate and disrespect. I wanted to know what the people of breeding and knowledge at DU had to say.

[libhill]

23. I stand before you

In shame and disgrace. But I STILL say - oh, well.

[efhmc]

26. No, you stand before me and others with a dignity that they will never

achieve and I honor you for it.

[libhill]

29. Thank ya

Thank ya, verra much. I've always said that we need to stop with the nice guy crap, and fight fire with fire. Sadly, rudeness and crudeness is all that our opponents understand.

[efhmc]

33. You know that is probably the saddest statement and the most basic

evil that the bushies have done. They have robbed us of the ability to have a different viewpoint without hate, of standing up for our beliefs with honor and being acknowledged for that fact even if one disagrees. We have become a nation of hate and discord and disrespect.

[libhill]

35. That's true

And it would be nice to be able to argue a point in a dignified way. But I live in a "red" county, surrounded by "Bush is great a President" ,"God bless America" types. And any time I try to discuss issues with these morans, I get an ear full of childish, "Well Clinton this and that", "Hillary Billary", and other non sense. It'll drive you to distraction.

[efhmc]

37. You should try living in Texas. No, for your sanity 's sake don't.

These people, even the nice, almost smart ones, are living in some kind of right wing la-la land.

[libhill]

39. I do

and my area is a real Bizzaro World. Canada looks better by the day. I swear to God.

[efhmc]

41. Was in Vancouver and Whistler last month. God, it was wonderful I

read the newspapers. My parents always took 2 papers, one in the morning and one in the evening. I cannot stand reading any papers here but in Canada I read the paper again. What a joy that was, among many others.

[libhill]

42. Why, oh why

didn't you find a way to stay up there? If I ever made it to Canada, they'd have to drag me back across the border, kicking and screamimg -lol

[efhmc]

43. My daughter was almost in tears when we left but we have many ties and

lots of land in Texas so we will (at least I will) stay and try to make things better. (She was talking to the taxi driver on the way to airport about staying.) What I am wondering is why our folks back in the 1800's didn't keep traveling on west.

[libhill]

46. Better yet -

North - to that thar Yukon country.

[leftofthedial]

14. acceptable, although it is redundant

[Lex]

15. it's acceptable at my house! nt

[HysteryDiagnosis]

19. Well now... they seem to be bent on turning Amurka into a

turd world nation.... so I guess it's ok....

[efhmc]

24. "Turd world nation". Extremely clever. You know I am a rancher and a

gardner and the use of anything as productive as manure with the repukes just does not seem right. Perhaps I should find another term.

[DS1]

21. I'm partial to "idiot scumfucks"

:shrug:

[efhmc]

31. Too generic, although very descriptive. Wait, how is it possible to be

generic and descriptive. Don't know but you did it.

[nytemare]

25. I think that "big fascist BM" would be more appropriate

:)

[efhmc]

28. Real and appropriate. I like it.

[nytemare]

32. Yes!

I am glad you like it! :)

[KamaAina]

27. Now, now, no bad words in DU subject headers

couldn't you find a nice euphemism for the R-word, like "GOP"? :evilgrin:

[efhmc]

30. OMG, my manners have gone down the drain. I neglected to call the

repukes by their more politically correct name of hell hounds.

[Wapsie B]

34. Throw in the word worthless

and it has a nice ring to it.

[efhmc]

38. Nice addition. Thanks.

[MollyStark]

36. People do not chose being Black, Latino or a Woman

Being republican is a choice. It is a very very sick choice.

[efhmc]

40. Way to differentiate. A choice, an evil, selfish choice but a choice.

[Kilroy003]

44. Sure, but it depends on what part of the country you're in.

Come over to MN for the weekend. Here, there's only one kind of republican and they're all pieces of it.

[efhmc]

45. Kind of a long weekend haul but I'll see what I can do. It must be lovely

to be in nonrepuke country.

[Thor_MN]

60. Well, to be honest, there are times....

Kind of like late fall or early spring in farm country when they fertilize the fields that the smell of the GOP does roll over Minnesota. It seems to be worse lately, either that or my neighbors sewer is backed up....

In general, I think most Minnesotans see through the BS that the GOP spews, or at least I hope they do.

[efhmc]

64. I love manure and what it does to increase the fertility of the land so it

is probably much too good a term to use on repukes. Manure enriches the soil and increases productivity. We all know that that does not go along with anything the repukes do. We need another word to describe them.

[izzybeans]

47. Public school administrations have okayed it nationwide so

it must by just fine.:*

[efhmc]

51. We have the go-ahead. If public administrators are okay with this,

it must be a proven, viable entity.

[izzybeans]

54. Yes, objectivity is their game. n/t

[sendero]

48. Republican portion of excrement...

.. is the term used in polite society :)

[sendero]

49. Or perhaps..

.... Republican chunk of feces :)

[sendero]

50. Or maybe...

... Republican steaming pile :)

[sendero]

52. Could be...

... Republican tassle of turds :)

[efhmc]

53. All much too nice but probably good to use in polite society.

[khashka]

55. It's not good manners...

Calling people foul names in public is never good manners. I only get away with it by 1)not caring about good manners and 2) smacking anyone who tells me to moderate my language.

However, I object to that foul and vicious characterization you make. There are some fairly decent moderate Repubs. Wouldn't invite 'em home for dinner, but I can certainly work with 'em.

For aesthetic reasons I'd suggest "brain-dead conservative ratfuck bastard". But that's only my own opinion - although I think it has a certain eloquence and style....

Khash.

[efhmc]

56. You are very eloquent and obviously much more refined than I am.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. I knew that I could count on the socially elite of DU to help me with this.

[khashka]

62. Thank you for your kindess

(See I got that from Miss Manners!)

Actually, most people would not consider me "the socially elite" of DU, more like that gross thing you have to step over in the gutter. However this does give me a certain.... hmm, insight?.... into what names to call people. Definitely, "ratfuck bastard". Trust me, never fails.

I'm almost willing to recommend "cocksucker", except I've always considered that a compliment....

Khash,
who needs his mouth washed out with soap.

[efhmc]

65. The terms you mentioned are probably not going to come out of this

lady's mouth. They are very potent and powerful and as such are very useful. However, even bush and his hatefulness cannot undo 50+ years of my verbal habits.

[khashka]

67. And they shouldn't

We all play our parts and do our very best. I'm a foul mouthed difficult guy who makes trouble. You are a lady (with all that implies).

I can't do what you do and you can't do what I do. But we combine our very different styles and skills and we work together. That's so cool!

So I do what I do and you do what you do and we grin at each other over that great divide.

Khash.
(If you met me in real life... I don't use that kind of language. I am prim and proper and oh so polite. You'd be wondering why I just don't loosen up a bit! Seriously.)

[Ellen Forradalom]

57. No. It's rude to be redundant. n/t

[efhmc]

59. Thanks, Ellen. What a beautiful first name. It must mean "smart".

[MrModerate]

61. Actually, it's redundant.

You end up saying "piece of shit" twice.

[MrSlayer]

63. I thought it was the official term.

Isn't that the standard?

[efhmc]

66. I think that standard might have a great deal to do with where one is

from.
