"Rush Limbaughs reference to Senator Barack Obama as Obama Osama" ?? Wasn't it Chick-drowning Lardo Ted Kennedy who first mangled the Muslim American candidate's name?
To: flowerplough
How about Rush calling him the Magic Negro? Or Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a fag?
Everything is offensive, and the best part is it’s PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.

That’s why people like Ann Coulter are the kind of people I love the most. They don’t give a damn about which words “offend” SOME people and which ones don’t !!!

Blacks use the "N" word all the time and homosexuals use the word "queer" to describe themselves yet, even though these groups obviously don't, we are supposed to find these words offensive.
This whole article offends me.

I agree!
We all have our "button words"--those that don't sit right with us.
Didn't Gummy-the-news-girl smack a guy for saying "sputum," tellimg him to never say that around her?
I use some that offend others, and others use some that offend me.
I guess we'll all have to put some ice on it.

Wasn't it Chick-drowning Lardo Ted Kennedy who first mangled
the Muslim American candidate's name? Yes it was Ted Kennedy. This whole poll is bogus in that
they didn't do any research on accuracy. One google search would
have given them the facts.

"Limbaughs..." Willful inaccuracy is offensive. (Doesn't matter how many agree or disagree).

TRUE!
“Willful inaccuracy” is an intentional lie.
That is offensive.

The only word, that comes to mind, that offends me is the
T word for breasts. I HATE that word.

The most useful piece of information in this survey: 74% of respondents were not familiar with the Macaca Moment.
We have remind ourselves constantly about how few people pay attention to many of the things we talk about here.

And I work with a man whose last name is pronounced the same as the anatomical term from which the T-word for breasts is derived, PB. Guess what we usually call him...

Magic Negro was invented by a lefty LA Times columnist....not Rush. He just exploited it.
I have been called motherf**king cracker so many times by black males that I quit counting.
But I didn’t think it was offensive, it was a just a signal it was fight time...unless they were alone.

The ony thing that offends me is when people carelessly curse around children. Can they not see the kids right in front of them.
