Ok, new rule for the left again. Dems can say any foul thing they want to anyone they want including calling the President of the United States a Mother… but a citizen on the right may NOT, EVER pose with a gun in her hands and say she is going on the offense politically.
You know, that term is almost like saying “fellow” (See the novel “Presumed Innocent”).
"Why, Officer, are you afraid you might offend those present? Larren gestured toward the forward benches, where the defendants on the morning call were seated, an assemblage of hookers, pickpockets, and junkie thieves. Speak freely, Judge Lyttle said.
He called me ************, Your Honor.
From the benches there were whistles, catcalls, lots of joviality. Larren gaveled silence, but he was laughing, too.
Why, Officer, said Larren again, still smiling, didn’t you know that is a term of endearment in our community?
The folks on the benches went wild: black-power salutes and a frenzy of stroking palms. Manos took all of this in silence. A minute later, when Molto rested, Larren directed a verdict for defense.
‘And the great part,’ Kenneally told me, ‘is that Manos comes up to the bench then, stands there with his hat in his hand, and says to Lyttle, sweet as a school kid, “Thank you, ************,” before he walks away.’ “Presumed Innocent”, pg. 21.
It was not in common use before the sixties and I heard it flung about in a WWII war film ( “Inglorious B*******”) and they are mistaken; the term was not commonly used then.
But, more to the point, if a person cannot differentiate between an insulting name and a thinly-veiled threat of violence, then I feel that person is not very discerning. I thinik that Tlaib could not have been censured for her comment because she was not a member of Congress at that time.
