We ought to have standards. A code. A speech code. And anyone who violates it should have to go on over to Kos or HuffPo with the rest of the trash.

We really shouldn’t tolerate dissent around here.

Looks like some people want the page to jump the track again.

Yeah, but just the childish ones, thankfully.

You know, the ones who, in a post about how McSquish is all things to all people, post a comment trying to justify their hopeless man-love for him in a really dumb comparison between voting for President and voting to confirm a SCt Justice.

Those people.

George Will should stick to baseball. But then again I do remember him making some comment about how crazy it was to think the US could actually deport all the illegals. He even included some remark about how many buses it would take and how many miles north they would stretch out. Why don’t you find that quote and put it up there?

I wonder if DfDeportation is a con. Sounds almost like a parody.

Still being the childish little brat as always, I see.

wise_man on August 18, 2008 at 3:56 PM

Yep, I’m always calling names, not responding to arguments, and telling the trash to go on over to Kos or HuffPo. You know, throwing tantrums when I don’t get my way.

I ought to be ashamed of myself.

Juan “Z-Visa” McCain is not fooling anybody. Ask him about his AMNESTY PLAN for Illegal Alien chuntes….

Aside from the slur I support the rigorous vetting and general manhandling of our candidate.

“Maverick” euphamizes “dick.”

Hey, you are wise.

No, I don’t think so.

Offended much? Geez… lighten up, Francis.

You got me.

Oh noes. It’s racist to call a person of the Mexican persuasion, ‘bad dressed?’

The horror.

I wonder what the next textual holocaust is lurking around the corner for all the racist white people to use. Maybe calling a mexican a “Churro.” I can see it now:

The word “chunte” is a derivative of “chuntaro” in much the same way “n*gger” is a derivative of “negro.” That may be interesting but is really unimportant. The fact is that the word “chunte” is used as a pejorative. Dfdeportation seems to have a grasp of that fact. Or are you going to deny the obvious connotation?

Here’s a modest proposal:
Ask Dfdeportation what he meant. Don’t take my word for it. Let him tell you about the olive branch he was extending with his words.

The real question is what stake do you have in using such language? If you really need to, whisper it to me. Nobody is listening to you anyway.

“Give me an “N!”
“Give me an “I!”
You get the picture. Go young man, shout it from the rooftops. Throw in a “Chunte” while you’re at it. Make someone proud.

On the other hand, you can point the finger at me. I’m the problem.

Feel better?

Shockingly, the Democrats have not extended similar courtesy.

“_man.”

Hmm. The decision for that vote put to a senator is kind of like the vote that a citizen has for president. Up or Down. One or the other. The time to choose between many is past, and it’s down to a single choice, and that’s what you are faced with.

wise_man on August 18, 2008 at 2:55 PM

Great, great point, _man.

The Justice affects all the down-ballot candidates. The performance of the Justice affects his party in the mid-term elections. Whether the Justice runs for re-election also has a big impact on his party. The Justice gets to fill all the important positions in the national party organization with his preferences. The Justice affects the way the House and Senate delegations from his party act and react. The Justice can push his pet policies and projects to the Congress. The Justice can take to the bully pulpit to advance his preferred policies.

Brilliant.

Best I can find:
Chunt — Mexicans — Comes from ‘chuntaro’ meaning bad-dressed Mexican

Evil white racist: “You are a Churro.”

Totally innocent indiginous American who was on the wong side of the border when the evil white man stole the land that was mexicos: “Oh, no, you called me a fried-dough pastry-based snack! What’s next, you evil white person, calling me a bad dresser! Why, in an absolut world, all of California and the southern states would belong to mexico~!!!!!”

Did you get your jollies?
