So is it ok to say 'Chelsea's being Pimped out'?

[BooScout]

When a National News Network allows it's commentators to aim such disgusting comments at the female daughters of a candidate (who also happens to be female)....I say it's time we all start waking up to what is going on in America......and people it's not just coming from such commentators as Shuster on MSNBC....it's occurring right here on DU with increasing frequency, directed not just at Hillary Clinton, but also directed at female posters here.

Is it ok to call female supporters of Clinton vulgar names with some key letters left out to make the name vulgar? Is it ok to tell female posters to 'take their midol'? or check to see if their 'sanitary pad is attached backward'? And along that line, I have also seen Obama supporters insulted with a certain way of spelling Obama when referencing his supporters that left no doubt in my mind that race baiting was going on.

I say none of these ugly descriptive terms and phrases have any place on the news, here, or anywhere else in society. If we don't stand up and call people on it when such hateful words & terms are aimed at others we are all going to lose.

1. No. Not in a world where young girls are sold into prostitution, adoption or marriage by parents.

3. Chelsea is an adult, not a young girl

[Captain Hilts]

5. It's about daughters. The image of PARENTS prostituting their daughters is repugnant.

No one said Chelsea was "pimped" to the Kerry campaign.

2. I don't know if it's okay or not...

...but i made me laugh out loud to read it.

[BooScout]

6. So you think it's funny?

To debase women in that way?

[COFoothills]

12. No, of course not...

...it's just a funny sentance to read.

7. Would it be OK to tell Michelle Obama to go back to cooking chitlins?

Some how I doubt it, no matter what poor judgement she might or might not be accused of showing in a political context.

4. No, it's not ok.

Chelsea is a citizen of this country and has a right to vote and to campaign for whoever she wants to campaign for. If they don't like it, tough shit. Making insinuations about her like that are rude, obnoxious and typical of the MSM though. I expect nothing better from them at this point.

8. According to GD:P, yes.

Resoundingly.

[Big Blue Marble]

9. It was disgusting.

I am glad Schuster had to apologize.

[sfam]

10. Not at all, but how many threads are we going to have asking this question?

A personal apology is certainly warranted here. But how many threads must we have on this?

11. Who said it was okay?

I want names.

13. Here's one of the "milder" ones.

I'll get you more shortly.

[blogslut]

16. So, one person?

That's it?

[Pathwalker]

17. Not hardly. I'm just showing you mild ones.

Feel free to peruse the several other threads. Some actually agree that she's pimping.

[jkshaw]

18. I wonder why that thread you linked to

wasn't locked? Also, the poster of the OP sounded like he was in the throes of apoplexy, which can't be good.

[BlackVelvet04]

14. Shuster should have been fired.

I'm sick of this sexist bullshit.

[Midlodemocrat]

15. You have to ask? Of course not.

[Jed Dilligan]

19. No

"Pimping out" Chelsea would involve adding chrome spinners and a bumpin' soundsystem. The man clearly misspoke.

[Tex_Dem]

20. No. Schuster should be fired.

Ditto.
