Evidently “cheeto” is not censored.That argument fails because this forum like most other forums are moderagted.
Show me your data.And quick search----good honesty, but still not good methodology.
Didn’t bother to look. The first search made it clear that your claim was not grounded in reality. Indeed, you (and M68) are among the more frequent users of the word.Oh, and I noticed how you avoided responding to the nazi part. Guess that one’s not as easy to excuse, huh?
Except for the banned persons who used the term. Their posts have been removed.Evidently “cheeto” is not censored.

I don’t think you’re right about that. Posts from banned persons show up in searches; they are not all removed.Except for the banned persons who used the term. Their posts have been removed.
Amen.Protesting unjust laws and those who enforce them is never rude.
Disrespecting people for expressing their views is rude.
I couldn’t agree more that she put her foot in a trap. It didn’t help that the press (all of it – from Fox and Daily Caller to CNN and the New York Times) misrepresented what Clinton said about “deplorables.” I’ve posted the complete quote here at CAF before. That said, it was a dumb thing for her to say. I think I understand what she was trying to say, but it was a dumb way to say it.I think Hillary put her foot in a trap with that 'deplorables" and “irredeemables” business. I know people who absolutely didn’t like Trump, didn’t vote for him in the primary, but gradually became more accepting and voted for him in the general. I think a great number of people were solidified for Trump and motivated to get to the polls when they realized when Hillary talked about “deplorables” and “irredeemables”, she was talking about them or their family members or even their socioeconomic class.
Trump is doing it. He is, if nothing else, a savvy marketer. I think he’s kind of reached the limits of what can be marketed, but he’s been really good at it until now.And now and then Trump does something with which they agree or partly agree, and a lot of people can see it among the venom and feather storm the left is throwing up. People often sympathize with underdogs, particularly if they consider themselves to be in that category. One would never think anyone could turn a billionaire into an underdog, but I think the left might well be succeeding in doing it.
I couldn’t agree more. The left (it’s not really the left – there is barely any left in America, but I’ll go along with the word for convenience) ought to be building for the future rather than wasting energy on attacking a man who will almost certainly destroy himself.In my opinion, if the left had more sense, they would let it die down and hope for Trump to make some real mistake, and if not him, at least the Repub congress which is almost sure to oblige. The left is not really obscuring everything Trump does that a lot of people want, but they’re making themselves look like a herd of swamp creatures.
Neither form of language is acceptable by Christian standards.A certain percentage of Trump supporters were deplorable. That’s a pretty mild word, actually, for those who were chanting "Trump that b*h" at his rallies. Wouldn’t you agree?

You really haven’t the foggiest idea of what “the left” thinks, do you? It is clear to all that the comment hurt her. But that was not because of the spoken sentiment, which was both inclusive and prescient. The problem was that it was so easily spun into a damaging misrepresentation. That’s part of the game, of course. But that part of the game is not acceptable by Christian standards, even though it all too frequently played here.I think that racism, for example, is deplorable by Christian standards. If, however, you are getting at hate the sin love the sinner I would agree.

I try use the term to differentiate between classical liberals and people who think there is racism and sexism under every rock.You really haven’t the foggiest idea of what “the left” thinks, do you?
Good that you agree; maybe it’s time to stop pretending such offense to her commentWho doesn’t?
QED… people who think there is racism and sexism under every rock.
