    I think I'm better than you. Does that make me a bad person?

    Susan Rice got promoted. Lying pays ... if you've sold your soul.

    I don't know. Sometimes I think people take these things too far. The South is the South. There is some point to that. People were just brought up like that. On the other hand, her being in that position, it would be hard to let that slide. It would be nice if there was not so much hate in the world. Then this type of thing could be so easily forgiven and forgotten. But it's not like that. Even in this forum, there is so much hate, that you have to come down hard on this type of thing. I feel for her.

    I can't say with certainty, but I've heard it rumored that she (Ms. Deen), is one of the Zimmerman jurors.

    "But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."

    Strangely enough it worked for a Former President trying to pass off someone being a KKK member but i guess that is not as bad as using the N-word now and then /rolls eyes

    It does, if the Democrats have any say in it. There is no right or wrong. There is only power. This is Democrat morality.

    This is what happens today folks, it's akin to McCarthyism of the 50's.

    The left have made it nearly impossible for people to utter certain words or catch-phrases without severe consequences.
    People like Dean who are in the public limelight are especially vulnerable, they have to watch every single word that comes out of their mouths, and hope to god that someone doesn't discover that somewhere in their past they uttered a politically incorrect word or two.

    It's unfortunate that we are not all lilly white pure like American liberals.

    I cant stand the N-word. Strangely enough its one of the reasons i hate rap music. Also from living in some places i wish i didnt have to in the past it seems like anyone that looks Hispanic can get away with uttering it just DO NOT be white and sure as hell dont be Asian!

    Using it in the past before you were employed by your job is pretty stupid yes.

    shes 66 years old, rumored to be worth close to 20 mil, time to kick back and watch the world destroy itself. I would give em all a big old moon on the way out the door and tell em to take a good close look at my fat .....

    guess they need the fire all the rap artists and black comedians too

    It is very inappropriate to use that as an excuse.

    You are right. But that's really how I feel about it. Sorry about that.

    You could single out just about anyone in this country, and especially if they are older, and if you put them on a witness stand and grilled them, they would admit to having used a racial slur, a gender slur, or a gay slur sometime in their life.

    Is it then appropriate to fire them from their livliehood, and possibly destroy their life ?

    IMO, the punishment here is much more draconian than the actual "crime".

    For those unaware of the story, this is a good article, that explains what started the ball rolling....



    Charges of Racist Behavior and Language Lodged against Food Network’s Paula Deen





    http://www.pensitoreview.com/2013/0...avior-lodged-against-food-networks-paua-deen/



    Personal opinion, if I were the judge, I would bounce this chic's ass to the curb. And order her to pay all legal cost incurred by Deen and her brother.

    I sincerely doubt the claim about the restrooms, this isn't 1950.
    This woman is probably fresh out of one of our finer indoctrination centers, where she was taught that the government owes her contraceptives.

    It's wrong!!! They shouldn't have done those things back then. They just finally got busted. She isn't the victim. She is the villian.

    I'm surprised no one has actually sued Deen for exposing them to daibetes for her southern-fried-fat-food-for-the-obese while at the same time taking money from drug-companies that sell diabetes meds ... while at the same time she's a diabetic herself ...
