In reply to the discussion: Samantha Bee apologizes for vulgar remark about Ivanka Trump: 'I crossed a line' [View all]Liberalagogo
(1,770 posts)50. I just see this time and again
The purist attitude, that "liberals" are supposed to have, and we're supposed to be better than everyone else. It led to our downfall with Hillary (that and the Russian thing), and the ousting of Franklin. Well I'm sorry, but if name-calling is what the RW wants, then that's what they're gonna get. And, people have been calling male figures "dicks" for years and years, and I see no outrage. So when it's appropriate, the c-word is gonna get used. I have no problem with Samantha Bee, she just speaks the truth.

It doesn't have to be "equivalent"; it has to be "inappropriate" in its own right...

As a woman she obviously owns that word. I'm stunned she used it, but then again, as a woman...

How smart is she really if she makes such a blatant obvious mistake as she did?

Somebody tallied MSM coverage: 30 minutes death toll vs 600 minutes the c-word.
