Nothing is offensive unless you allow it to offend you. I'm not going to let anything on some online forum get to me. So, neither.
********* is a sexual slur. That's inherently offensive. It's not going away though. I just pass it off as flamebait, which is all it is.
You make a good point. ********** is sexually explicit, vulgar, and downright filthy. that it comes out of the mouths of mainstream news hosts (chris matthews for one) astonishes me. for anyone who hasn't visited urban dictionary here are some definitions:
D-bagger. The other is merely a descriptor of a person who waves tea-bags as a political statement. Come to think of it, both apply.
********** is a slur meant to show unwarranted disrespect and ugliness towards a group of citizens believing in a certain cause. It's usually only used by those who do not understand the Tea Party, Hate the Tea Party for no real reason other than it's trendy or the media told them to, or those who have an opposing view but are not articulate enough to present it in a reasonable way. Dbagger - never heard of it to be honest.

I think they're both silly, to be honest. I'm more embarassed for the person using those words and attempting to be taken seriously. It's like arguing with a third grader.
Good one. Both are appropriate for the description of the ranting lunies who have nothing to offer but their rants.
My problem is twofold. One, since ********* refers to someone who enjoys oral contact with male genitalia then it more properly describes liberals. Second, there is another word that means the same as the definition I wrote above but it's not allowed on the forum. I know. I referred to a liberal as one of those and was punished.

I find this statement from a liberal astounding. Liberals are capable, and have made, some of the most benign words and phrases offensive. Don't remember the turmoil when the mayor's aide in DC used the word "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)rdly" in reference to a budget? How about the man tossed from college over calling a group of women "buffalos" when they were screaming outside his window at 3 a.m. I have learned that the liberal rule is, if someone was offended then you are guilty. Well, that's the rule if it was a liberal who was offended. Anyone else can pound sound.
These slurs used to upset me. Then I realized that the only ones using them are hateful and immature people. So why give them the satisfaction? Smile ever time you see such a silly remark, and the world becomes a better place.
Nothing to offer?...Can you be more specific?...if your not able too. Again the proof is that like their leader Obama, most all liberals are simply clueless.
I didn't say any of those things. I have no control over what anybody else says. People act as individuals.
Of course not, Discovery. Liberals can deny responsibility for absolutely everything. Saying people act as individuals is amazing. Unions, Democrat Party, just individuals. That's all. No responsibility. Also note, the politically correct Political Forum doesn't allow the word "ni@@ardly" either. It means miserly, cheap. Ooooh, bad word for liberals.
Well great. But I'm totally NOT responsible for any of those things. I'm NOT a registered democrat. And I'm NOT in a union. So, what's your beef with me? How was my first post in this thread an affront to you? I act as an individual, the only person I report to is myself. I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) what other liberals or anybody else says or does. They don't represent me. Are YOU responsible for everything any conservative has ever said or done?
A ********* is something you do. A d bagger is something you are. We can stop doing. You can't stop being.
