Yes, I do, and lame cop out describes your post perfectly. I addressed the point you made while you failed to address my point in your response.

In what you posted, he did not even quote Rahm. Rahm said nothing at all about PC. Using one word in common is not a quote. And again, he agreed with Rahm.

I understand what constitutes satire. I have explained what satire is and given you examples of it. I also explained why Rush's comments were not satire.

You have failed to do anything but repeat your lame cop outs and ad homs.

That's not "just a quote" of Emanuel. It's not even a good paraphrasing of what Emanuel said and he clearly notes his agreement that those people are retards.

OK you're right...Rush didn't include the word "fucking".....

I stand corrected....

And most of us agree with Rahm....you may clearly note that.

Not all parody is satire.

All you've done is to continually repeat:
"I know you are; but what am I"

Rush's comments were satire and you're just trying to play damage control for the idiot you keep defending.

Rahm Emmanuel is a douche bag known for his vulgarity and penchant towards the absurd and shocking. He's like a stupid 6th grader that likes to fart in class just to see the fall out.

Rush Limbaugh can also be a douche bag, but typically is railed against when he exemplifies the same absurd and shocking behavior the liberal "Rahm Emmanuel's" get away with without rebuff.

I'd love to see the two debate.

I would root unabashedly for Rush.

I am not too dense to know that you are the one that made the comparison not me.

As far as your question goes, I don't see that it is relevant at all. Both are examples of name calling.



She did not specify certain types of name calling. She said name calling by anyone was wrong, unnecessary and that we should all grow up.

This is nothing but another desperate attempt to excuse Palin's hypocrisy.

show me that exact quote, because what you linked yesterday had her again referring to fucking retards....so please show me where she said "name calling by anyone is wrong, unnecessary and we should all grow up"....i want to see that specific quote....

It was not. He was not imitating Rahm or mocking him. He was agreeing with him. If it was intended to be a joke at all then it was the expense of our "pc society" or those "acting like some giant insult's taken place" (e.g., Palin).

Again, not all parody is meant to be funny. I think he was earnest in his rejection of the PC nonsense, and from his remarks that he was just copying another it was clear it was that form of parody.

That Palin thought it was okay I think is based on previous reaction to others who have "battled" Rush. She's a politician and is acting like it. It doesn't serve her well either, if she wants people to continue believing she is "mavericky" then she'll need to stop toting that water.

I did not indicate that it was an exact quote. I clearly paraphrased and did so accurately.

It's at about 1:30 in...

So then Palin is okay with what Rush said because he was making fun of those that took offense at Rahm's comments but Rahm should be fired for saying something offensive. Makes a lot of sense.

So then, you are saying that she is using a double standard to further her own goals? I agree.

Yes. I only point out that when she said it was parody, she was right. Should she forgive it? Not if she wants people to think she is "mavericky"..

I also think that getting all PC on them only serves to further strengthen PC BS.

thanks for proving that her whole point was the insensitive name calling, like calling people retards and basically trashing the special needs folks....

she continued it was all about the insensitive nature of words like retards. you're being dishonest with yourself by claiming otherwise. it was not accurate what you paraphrased, she repeatedly said name calling in terms of insensitive with regards to special needs people.

i have no idea why you are so obsessed with this issue and with palin. quite frankly, its weird.
