Add Grayson to that list

Another piece of work. I do not think what Gayson said will sit well. Ther will be more on this I'm sure.

We need more Graysons. As for his comments, the woman was the head of Enron's lobbying arm. Probably not the most tactful way of putting it, but if the shoe fits...

Still, does it give this man the right to call her a whore? I'm thinking no. Do we need more men calling women whores because of something they did? |

Like I said, sounds about right. In my eyes, as long as he keeps cutting through the BS and being as principled as he is, I don't really care if he hurts the feelings of some lobbyist scumbag. Quote:

Sure, I have said plenty worse about Pelosi but on on the national new level for all to see and hear. Mookie thinks that is fine for one to do. :doh:

Mookie - I am suprised you can't see the difference.
The term - regardless of one of its "literary" meanings, when spoken by a man regarding a woman, society defines it as a specific, sexual slur. This is no different than if a white man were to call a black man "******" - society defines that as a specific racial slur. Never mind the fact that the same black man may be called by the same term among friends of his own race, and lets not forget that it has more than one meaning - on of wich is the literary meaning simply of "negro", which denoting his color, and in a literary sense is purely a NEUTRAL statement. Does that make it right? No - it doesn't. You know it as well as I do. Were I to give a speech and say "Mr. Van Jones, a ******,....", people would be screaming left and right I was racist, and yet your position would require you to defend me for it, IF I claimed I meant it merely in the "literary" sense - unless of course you want to go ahead and admit that to not do so would be a double standard. As an elected official, society expects a certain level of couth and decorum. Mr. Drayson violated that, and thus the citizenry has a right to take issue with it. |
