Hey that fat ass Chris Christie apologized

[gopiscrap]

for what he said about the civil rights movement last week!

[malaise]

1. He does not know a damn thing about the civil rights movement

Fuck that poster child for the fat cats.

[HopeHoops]

2. Does he even remember what he said? I don't find him particularly bright.

Then again, he is a Republican.

[Drale]

3. A apology means nothing

these idiots have to learn to think before they speak.

[gateley]

4. I may have misinterpreted him, but I thought he was essentially saying it would have

been preferable to pass the civil rights act without the fighting and bloodshed (and I'd have to agree). Did I misunderstand?

[roguevalley]

8. yes you did. he said we should have had a referrendum

for civil rights. 20% of the american people were for civil rights then. Christie wanted a majority vote at a time when you could be lynched for not moving off the sidewalk for a white person.

[gateley]

21. Okay -- I see where I was wrong. Thanks. nt

[southernyankeebelle]

5. I'd say no thanks. You know dang well he didn't mean it in the first place.

[seabeyond]

6. fat ass? i have to say, that is about as lazy as one can be

in discussing an issue.

[butterfly77]

28. How about...

big ass????

[seabeyond]

32. creep .... works for me. nt

[butterfly77]

33. LOL!

[WingDinger]

7. Faat ass and ugly wife posts are for rethugs.

[DFab420]

10. +1

[seabeyond]

11. not to mention, the poster loses what he is saying, to this crap. fail. nt

[louis-t]

18. Or, 'loses'.

[seabeyond]

19. thank you.

i knew that.

really, i dont like those kind of mistakes. others dont both me. so thanks

[TroglodyteScholar]

12. The fact that a jury voted to keep this post is shameful.

What's next, calling Republicans "fags?"

Our side is supposed to be above this bullshit...if for no other reason, we have PLENTY OF FODDER for attacking them without sinking to the same disgusting behaviors as them.

[laundry_queen]

13. +1000 nt

14. jury results

At Wed Feb 1, 2012, 03:58 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

Hey that fat ass Chris Christie apologized

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

There is no reason to use terminology that is offensive to other duers.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Feb 1, 2012, 04:22 PM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: "fat ass" is pretty mild and I don't think it smears people who may be "well filled out" or "amply proportioned". In this context I think it's OK.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: insensitive - no need to highlight the weight issue.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not even close to "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate."
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Insensitive, but not quite to the level of a "hide".
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: If the term "Fat ass" were pertinent to the point (ie: "The fat ass said he hates dieting", then it might be appropriate. Here it is not. I would encourage the poster to repost the same OP with other derogatory adjective... lots of them.

Thank you.

15. Agreed. The three jurors who voted to keep it need a bucket of cold water to the face.

Some people really apparently don't fucking understand the meaning of the words "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate."

[Angry Dragon]

25. I find the word 'fucking',

"disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate."

[TheWraith]

26. Well, apparently I can do a lot more than that without fear.

Funny how apparently ridiculing overweight people is a-okay according to a jury, but I once got a post hidden--my only one, ever--for saying that someone didn't have an accurate view of reality. In those exact words.

[seabeyond]

34. agenda.... bad. lol. nt

[denbot]

27. TheWraith, I was the juror who wrote:

"Insensitive but not rising to the level of a hide".

I do read, speak, and comprehend english. Oh, and I am also a "fat-ass", struggling, middle aged, indian (feather not dot), along with all the normal challenges we all go through. I don't react to casual references, and I can discern when a comment is directed at an individual in a hurtful manner. I would, and have voted to hide those particular threads.

XXOO's

Is black slimming? You decide..

30. Truth be told, a little while ago I almost posted an OP...

...which in part read that I don't care if someone is fat themselves, it's still not cool to make those kinds of remarks. I still stand by the fact that it is not at all acceptable to throw around insults about somebody's weight. We wouldn't tolerate it here if it were a casual comment about his race, I don't see why it's okay when it comes to personal appearance.

[WingDinger]

31. Hasn't the community spoken? The point is made. And no animals were harmed.

[TroglodyteScholar]

35. No, no animals were harmed. Just our community. n/t

[Chorophyll]

16. +100.

[TroglodyteScholar]

9. And when will you apologize to the overweight for your callous use of the term "fat ass?"

[rurallib]

17. "If someone was offended" is not an apology.

but it is always the weasel words the pukes use.

[elfin]

20. He really, really wants to be VP nominee

The big fat bully is dancing as fast as he can to look good for Willard.

[cthulu2016]

22. Is the point that he apologized for having a fat ass?

Otherwise there is no excuse for the gratuitous slur

[Missy Vixen]

23. Wow. I wonder what you'd have to say about Christie if he wasn't fat.

Thanks for reinforcing the fat bigotry here. Again.

[Marrah_G]

24. Of all the things you could call him you choose to focus on his wieght?

[Stinky The Clown]

29. "Fat ass"

Nice. Real nice. You proud of that?
