"Non-apology Apology" Fail

Did darrin joke about Obamas mother?

He just threatened to. Some posters egged him on. Unfortunately, darrin had nothing funny in the tank.

Another unfortunate part of American politics. Never mind actually discussing the "issues" (of course, what passes for a public discussion of the issues in the US consists of uninformed mayonnaise eaters confirming their ignorance) and critiquing the arguments you disagree with. Nay, we must thoroughly demonize political opponents beyond all recognition.

Character assassination and family member attacks of presidents are nothing new. Those go back to the start of the Republic. If someone enters the arena, they should be prepared for that sort of thing. Still, that's a rather lousy justification.

You articulated what I could not.

He didn't threaten anything, if anything he responded to CHumps logic that bristol deserves to be humiliated because she got knocked up.

Darrin implied the same thing Obama implied, and that's that its not good to do such thing and attacking single mothers for political benefit is tackless.

Why can't you understand something simple like that, rather than sink into the whole red vs blue mud fight?

Carter's brother was never made fun of. Clinton's brother was never made fun of. Bush's daughters were never made fun of.

It's only natural to assume that Palin's daughter should never be made fun of.

Bull , Bristol is putting herself in the spotlight as well



Really "if girls realized the consequences of sex nobody would be having it." You ing knew the consequences of sex and it didn't stop you from opening your legs


And Bush's daughters were made fun of when they kept getting caught in bars in Austin. and Cintons daughter was ugly, so nobody made fun of her because thats akin to beating up a re .

Apparently your sarcasm detector doesn't work past 3 AM.

Agree that Darrin didn't *threaten* anything (attempted humorous overreading on my part), disagree with your own overreading of CD. He didn't argue that BP *deserved* anything IMO, just that the joke on her had a logical basis.

Tactless? Sure. Politics is tacky. I have no problem with social condemnation of the tackiness.
