Spycatcher keeps pinging me. Am I supposed to ignore him?

Please do. Or at least lighten up Francis. Maybe you should have just ignored the whole thread. Caption threads are goofy humor. Nobody but you takes it seriously. I tried being reasonable with you and your objections but you kept at it and won't get a clue.

Bill Clinton doesn't employ his daughter to help shape his sexuality. Al Gore does. Have you ever seen a Smigel cartoon on SNL? Probably not since you're still alive. Political figures who use their willing family to try to shape their public sexuality are fair game for ridicule. If you can't deal with that, too bad. His daughter is old enough to not pose with her hair draped on daddy's crotch if she doesn't want to be a political pawn/joke. Maybe she should take a hint from Ozzy Osbournes oldest daughter and get out of the public eye.

Lighten up? How should I lighten up? I think it's wrong to falsely imply incest and that's the simple statement I've said in all my posts after the first one. The only way to lighten up from that is to say it's not wrong. Not gonna happen. Your posts keep changing, mine stay the same. You've went from blaming imagery to blaming Clinton to blaming the daughters to who knows what now. You seem to be searching for justification. I made a simple five word statement and you replied with a long reply. I'm responding. How should I lighten up? Should I ignore you?

Maybe you should have just ignored the whole thread.

I didn't ignore the thread because I think it's important to show that all conservatives are not as cold-natured as the replies on this thread seem to show. Fathers hug daughters all the time, there's nothing wrong with anything in the pictures on this thread. FR is becoming representative of the rank and file conservative. If I see something I disagree with, I'll say something to prove that there are other views. If you don't want replies send e-mail.

But the people here weren't captioning, they were saying it was sick for a daughter to relax with her father. I thought that was an over-reaction and said so. I believe a lot of families have pictures similar to these.

Bill Clinton doesn't employ his daughter to help shape his sexuality. Al Gore does.

So. She's a young woman, she knows what young women like. A lot of daughters want their fathers to look good, don't over-react to that. It doesn't mean anything. "Shaping his sexuality" is a little overboard way to put it anyway.

Have you ever seen a Smigel cartoon on SNL?

LOL That's Least Common Denominator entertainment. I don't pay a lot of attention to prime-time trash TV. I guess I'm not hip to modern crudeness. SNL doesn't have any talent so they do the tried and true...shock entertainment. If you have no talent you say naughty words and put down Christians and people will still watch. LCD. The posters on this thread weren't trying to be entertaining, they honestly thought a daughter should not relax with her father.

Probably not since you're still alive. Political figures who use their willing family to try to shape their public sexuality are fair game for ridicule.

Fair game for false inuendo and gossip? OK. I didn't get that memo.

If you can't deal with that, too bad.

I can deal with it. I have every day. Crudeness is becoming more and more hip and we're surrounded by it. No one cares about honesty anymore. It's OK to just throw out baseless accusations. I'm making you question your rightness in throwing out your false inuendo though because of the way your excuses wandered. You tried three or four different ones. :^)

His daughter is old enough to not pose with her hair draped on daddy's crotch if she doesn't want to be a political pawn/joke.

Oh, now. You're being silly.

You're over-reactingMaybe she should take a hint from Ozzy Osbournes oldest daughter and get out of the public eye.

I think most of the public sees this for what it is. A father-daughter relationship not unlike millions of others in this country. It amazes me that your so offended by a daughter resting up against her father but the crudeness of your false inuendo doesn't bother you at all.
