(16,350 posts)I am sorry. I deleted it asap.

(55,147 posts)It's just been a bad day today with comments like this.
Thank you for deleting.
MineralMan
(146,317 posts)It implies that there's something wrong with that. It's like calling someone "gay" to imply that there's something bad about being gay. Please don't do that on DU. In fact, it would be great if you self-deleted your post. Thanks.

(19,374 posts)Coulter is vile, hateful and deserves our scorn, but the transphobic references are out of line.
tblue
(16,350 posts)I did delete asap. Thanks and very sorry! Very very.

(11,770 posts)I can relate and totally agree that Ann Coulter is evil, but people who identify as Trans, don't deserve to be associated with Ann Coulter. I hope my response is worded in such a way you get what I mean.
tblue
(16,350 posts)Thank you, MerryBlooms. I took it out soon as I saw your post.
Very sorry to anyone hurt. It was completely unintentional.

LiberalAndProud
(12,799 posts)Even if you don't yet understand why, tblue, understand that your choice of words is very hurtful. If you aren't ascribing a hateful trait to a hateful person, what is your point?
Your jury failed on this one.
tblue
(16,350 posts)I didn't know. I really didn't. Very sorry and thank you. I love many of your posts. See ya around.

(44,228 posts)insulting Ann Coulter by calling her a transsexual implies that there's something wrong with being a transsexual.

tblue
(16,350 posts)So sorry. Did not mean to hurt anyone.

(8,830 posts)You are insulting and denigrating transgender individuals with your use of this nasty phrase.
tblue
(16,350 posts)Thanks. Very sorry.

(24,096 posts)It is very upsetting and has been pretty well established that referring to Coulter as 'Mann' is transphobic.
A jury let your post stand but that is another issue - please reconsider and delete your post.
tblue
(16,350 posts)As soon as I saw your post, I deleted it. Many thanks & pls forgive me. I meant no harm to anyone, except her.
MadrasT
(7,237 posts)Coulter is vile but assaulting gender identity as an attack means equating transgender with bad. Transgender is not bad. Thanks for considering.
tblue
(16,350 posts)Thanks and very sorry!

(16,350 posts)Forgive me, Iggo. You know nothing about me so please don't assume I have any kind phobia. I wouldn't presume to know anything about you other than what you posted.

phleshdef
(11,936 posts)Sunnunu is just seething with vitriol at all times.
Life Long Dem
(8,582 posts)I've been able to separate someone's grossness from their politics. And Newt could hold a good conversation. But tell him to never wipe his nose on public TV. He looked like a walrus swiping the nose drip from his nose like some walrus or something . I call that the grossed thing I ever saw on TV. Grossed.

The rest of the world understands when he says Obama is lazy and stupid just exactly what he means.

(12,537 posts)ever called him on it. I don't think pundits have the guts to do it.
graham4anything
(11,464 posts)no one in history has even come close.
Even the Bush's and Cheney had one redeeming value. Mitt has zero.
Mitt is the first example in history of a billionaire CEO in reality being trailer trash.
He has no reason for wanting to be president except perhaps to beat his father at something.
He must really hate his father.
A good psychiatrist would have a field day on him.
fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)what is that one redeeming value of Bush/Cheney? I got nothin' . . .
graham4anything
(11,464 posts)if only he used it for good instead of evil.
I still wonder what caused him to turn to the dark side.
But I never personally hated him, just his politics.
lol.
fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)that Bushy is simple-minded, and I would agree. Not that that, in itself, is a redeeming value, but I can sort of forgive a person of limited intelligence.
Cheney, on the other hand, is an evil ghoul . . . and a war criminal . . . I'm still waiting for his indictment! What a waste of a good donor heart!
graham4anything
(11,464 posts)they created the simple mind, dumb failure image who was so stupid he didn't have the ability to lie which of course enabled him to do all he did.
That book by Paul Waldman "Fraud" goes step by step in how over the years the entire family has repeated every single thing over and over and they will try again with Jeb (and then later on the next generation).
But I don't hate them personally- I hate what they did, I hate their politics and all, but not personal.
This guy Mitt though is despicable and a puppet at the same time. For all we know, he is the type of person that is being paid to do all he is doing just to make money.
who knows???
His father, while I wasn't politically a fan, was a decent person it seemed (not that I ever delved much into more than I saw on TV about him), and nothing like Mitt is.
IMHO.
Blue Idaho
(5,049 posts)As White House Chief of Staff he used military jets, White House vehicles, and even rented taxis to take him golfing, skiing and stamp collecting.
It is estimated his misadventures cost American taxpayers over $675,000 dollars for transportation alone. John, facing an angry public and difficult questions from the press only paid back about $45,000.
He is now one of Rmoney's key advisers - will he be back in the White House pulling the same stunts anytime soon? Its up to you.
tarheelsunc
(2,117 posts)After him, it's either Palin or Ann Coulter, who have both made their fair share of stupid and ignorant comments lately.

(8,217 posts)That's just me.
Newt is a punk and hypocrite, but at least he had "some" sense of shame in regards to making his arguments towards presidency a little bit balanced. Just a tiny bit mind you, till he got blasted for it.
He even went against Paul Ryan's plan till he got spanked for that.
Sunnunu is nowhere near as damaging as Ryan at the moment, so I don't care about him as much.

(135,425 posts)Or his son, "Dumbass John" Sununu? He's the ex-senator, and he's stupid as all get-out.
I have met the former, and he really is a shithead.

(205,456 posts)So many are so awful in different ways. Your choice is right near the top, but Dick Cheney still makes my skin crawl and the lying attack ads I've been seeing in the Congressional race here make me shout at the TV...
