My personal feeling on that is that we should not use the word because doing so "makes it okay."
Not like it's hardly the first time it ever happened. I guess applying apathy to the situation was no longer working, so it was time to try something new. I would prefer to believe that, then to suspect there might be double standards around here. May I ask why you waited until now?

The whole reason I even brought it up was as an example of why I find political stuff unpleasant.
As I kinda already said, I respect that. I always felt it was an HONEST thought of yours, and I never called it whiny or anything like that. My argument wasn't over how Susan meant it - my argument was over if the word itself was "bad." If she would have said "we might have the lynch Palen," this argument would have never started in reference to the race aspect. Therefore, that would have proven my point that the word itself isn't bad. That's all I've argued. I can respect that you found it offensive. I just don't think we have a right to not be offended (like the spade comment). That's all.

I don't know Aubre O'day but that thirty second clip pretty much convinced me she is definately an air head.

Airhead or not... Her views pretty much sound the same as Susan's. Either way I have no respect for either woman.

It's a waste of energy; she's self-lynching.
