“Excuse me, but I think your arguments are bull——.”

And what if the pastor answered F***Y**, Ho? Would that have been an appropriate response?
To: SmithL
Politics aint Sunday school, Rev. Welcome to the big city.
Pastors are used to being in charge and usually aren't ready to be bi*** slapped. I find this amusing.

Well, I think the pastors arguments are bull too. But a person must use just a little more tact when addressing the clergy. Just another symptom of a world gone mad I’m afraid.

I have seen more vile and vulgar back stabbing and personally vindictive subversion right in the middle of public hearings/meetings through the use of phony, sucky, insincere and supposedly diplomatic "civility!" Then it wasn't civility, but LACK OF civility, which is exactly what I was pointing out...

No. No. No... I'm talking about the most polite civility you ever saw in mannerisms and even flowery language that damns with faint praise that leads to a treacherous vote that royally screws the one being praised right into the ground!!!
Hey! It's a fine art!! Yet is nothing to be the least bit proud of!!!
It may be too hard for you to understand without an example, however, any example here with mere typed words will not get the nuanced, manipulative, malicious, malevolent, merciless concept across. While maintaining civility, that is...

Nah . . .
the recent spate of tabloid trash has awakened in me a nostalgic yearning for the "good ol' days" of the original tabloid trash legacy builderbergers . . .
sigh . . .

I called Senator Wiggins yesterday and left a message that demanded an apology to the Pastor and the People of California. This moonbat Senator does not appear in control of herself. I suspect it won't be long before she melts down.

Note: this topic is from August 12, 2008.
Democratic Sen. Pat Wiggins... interrupted Jones' testimony to say: "Excuse me, but I think your arguments are bull----." The exchange left Jones, the senior pastor at Oak Park United Methodist Church, stunned and offended. "It is a slap in the face," he said in an interview. The outburst occurred as Jones, 46, testified at an informational hearing on how California will cut global warming emissions. Jones, who is African American, said he went to urge lawmakers to consider minority communities when drafting those regulations... after less than two minutes of speaking -- and before he could finish -- Wiggins blurted out her comment... Sen. Christine Kehoe, a San Diego Democrat and the chairwoman of the hearing, interjected. "Let me step in here, Pastor Jones, we very much appreciate your presence here today, and you're right. The community should be part of the discussion and it is," Kehoe said. In an interview, Jones called Wiggins' comments "extremely disturbing" and said he had not yet been contacted by the senator, or her staff, to apologize.
