EVERY time we hear that, it should be stopped and corrected, on the spot.
We could also fire back. Start calling them what WE decide they should be called. After all, they've been doing it to us and it seems to be the okay thing to do. Taste of their own medicine. See how they like it.
I often use "republi-CON" ('cause all they offer is a CON job), but my husband bested me recently. He came up with "republi-KLAN"!!!
Thanks for posting this, plantwomyn! Should be said, read, and SPREAD!!!!
No kidding. He's a BILLIONAIRE.
But if there's no $$$ penalty involved, it won't mean squat. Even though this "fine" actually kinda does mean squat, compared to what he's worth.
Unfortunately it seems to me these rich assholes need to be HURT. And hurt much worse than a trifling two-point-five million dollars in fines. It'd be MURDER to somebody like me. But to him, it's like a mosquito bite. A shame there's nothing really hurtful and TRULY punitive that can be done. He'll just go buy something else important and sit there in glory in that particular arena, I suppose.
Just because he WEARS a white hat doesn't mean he is one.
And now he's evidently been smacked around - a little - by the NBA.
Watching MSNBC at the moment, NBC News confirmed an indefinite suspension and there'll be a fine of two-point-five million dollars. Gee. Probably his pocket change. But if you don't at least hit assholes like him in their wallets, you don't lay a finger on them at all. Money's the only thing they really care about. He's worth way over a Billion dollars, so this is trivial. But at least it's something.

NBA chief just announced the investigation of those phone calls is complete and it's been determined the male voice on there IS donald sterling.
NBA Commish says sterling is being banned FOR LIFE. Wooooooo... barred from any league activity or board meetings. Says he'll urge the board to force sterling to sell the team.
He said two-point-five million dollars is the maximum. There had been an earlier report that it was five million.
Noticed the little girl asking a question from Pox Noise made sure to get in the plug for "The kelly File". I'm sure there's a memo on record, reminding everybody never to pass up a chance to promote both their network and their show! Probably posted on a bulletin board in the lunch room or above the coffee machine where everybody can see it.
Yeah, but that's no reason not to GOTV!
AND to start pursuing a challenge to their "tax-exempt" status. I sure wish this would start happening in earnest.
Sometimes I wonder...
whether folks like these are WANTING this. The whole idiotic, misguided "go out in a blaze of glory" thing. And. They. Are. IDIOTS!
Must have watched way too many Steven Seagal and Rambo movies. Or something. Blaze of glory, yeah, suuuuuuure. Some sort of twisted purported fantasy "martyrdom," I suspect is what it boils down to. Makes me wonder what their versions of those fanciful "78 virgins in heaven" would be.
Domestic terrorists. That pretty well sums it up. A completely and thoroughly accurate label, seems to me. The only difference is the language spoken, and the style of dress. Otherwise, very little difference between shouting "Allah akbar" and "freedom-freedom!"
However, I haven't yet heard of any Islamic version of "get yer gummnt hands off mah Medicare!"
Btw, LOVE your sig line!
I just added it to my quotes file!
"Sacred cows make the best hamburger..." I relish that comment!!!!
And to get around the rules and structures and conventions they don't like.
And siphon money away from those entities that really need it in order to fatten their own wallets.
With the entire international press corp watching, including a lot of his peers.
Open your mouth, ed henry, and then find, inserted, several dozen legs!
LUUUUUUUUUVVVV it!!!
POW!!!! OOOF!!!! BLAM!!!!!! BOI-OI-OI-OI-OI-OINGGGGG!!!!
That one was particularly sweet indeed! And it was only his opener!!!
