“I wonder whether Tarpy's figured out a way to sneak back in past Matt's outer defensive perimiter ...”

“doubtful. he's a little more literate than these.”

“Nothing more than an IP masker can't take care of.”

“Yeah - Tarpy is an idiot but he's not as bad as these here ones.”

“Then he is not one of us.”

“oh NO you did not!”

“And another troll thread bites the dust. What a shame. All that hard work down the tubes.”

“WOW that was super fast that time.”

“how'd he do dat?”

“TRAILTALK UNCUT

“GREAT, the FCC and Parents Television council are pressuring CBS to prohibit playing the 9/11 documentary becuase..>GASP! the Firefighters curse as they are losing friends.....”

“Broadcaster Sits Out Two Games for Profanity
Blyleven Accidentally Swore in Pregame Segment
AP Sports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sept. 4) - Minnesota Twins commentator Bert Blyleven was suspended for two telecasts for accidentally using two profanities on air during a pregame segment.

The team confirmed the suspension before the Twins played at Tampa Bay on Monday.

Blyleven uttered the words after slipping up during Sunday's segment, which he thought was being taped rather than broadcast live.

Blyleven apologized to viewers during the first inning of the Twins-Yankees game in New York on Sunday.

"I apologize to the viewers for my language ... It makes me feel bad. I'm sorry," he said.

Monday's Twins game was not on the television schedule.

“The town I live in is so damn pc it makes me rage and curse all the more. Oddly enough, not to go fuego, it seems more the religious/conservatives who so concern themselves with my language, behavior and inevitable trip to hell. I'm beginning to look forward to the journey.”

“Ayyyyyy-men!

It is the Curse Of The Puritans!!

Their nasty little ghosts are haunting our culture with their goody-goody horsecrap!

Can't cuss??
Like hell I can't!!”

“Ayyyyyr we not men?”

tits!
ass!

“Common decency isn't as common as it used to be.”

“oh bullcrap.lets go back to the good old days, when blacks were property and women couldnt vote, and 10-year old children worked in dangerous factories, but gosh dog it, people had the decency not to cuss”

Strange, sometimes, in how we tend to view decency. Well said, CB.”

“the amount of cussing a person does has little bearing on their decency. i think we all have known people who cuss like sailors, but would give you the shirt off their back, and puritans with golden rays of sunshine coming out of their mouths who wouldnt throw a drowning man a ham sandwich”

“Common decency isn't as common as it used to be.”

“is that your rebuttal or just your butt?”

“Common decency isn't as common as it used to be.”

“stove we all know youre stalling while youre trying to find something to cut and paste about how the silly libbies make everyone cuss more”

“Common decency isn't as common as it used to be.”

“Crash Bang, you are indecently common!!

Why, I never...................!!!”

“you silly billy

im gonna go watch the extended non-cussing, non-sexy but moderately violent lotr:fellowship of the ring movie. have fun trolling”

“Common decency isn't as common as it used to be.”

“I think it all depends on the situation. For example, Schindlers List and Saving Private Ryan were both allowed to be broadcast unedited. That was the correct call. Guess what, people use the F word is war and get blown up and the Jews in Auschwitz had to walk around naked. To edit those shows would have been wrong. I agree that reasonable language is totally appropriate for the 911 movie. I guess the definition of what is reasonable is the issue, but some 4 letter words are not out of place for that movie. Having it sanitized would seem more weird than hearing some profanity.”

“This is typical mommy government. I have a better idea..."Rev Wildman, if you don't like what's on TV...TURN IT OFF."

Jeeze, I read where they are #&%!$ing about some of the other TV shows...guess what..I DON'T like them I don't watch them...”

“#&%!$ censorship”

“I hereby censor YOU!!

....and fart in your general direction!”

“Ah the 7 naughty words.... 13 if yer a sailin man :D”

“MarkO, "You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."”

“I was watching the last game of the Stanley Cup Finals.

After Carolina won the thing, half the players raised the cup and started yelling "F---."

They tried to edit it, but a couple clearly got by and it was extremely obvious what some of the players were saying.

The funny thing is that NO ONE watches hockey outside of Detroit, so I didn't hear a peep about it afterwards.”

“Where's the outrage, you hypocrites?


Yep -- you can force curse words upon us in the name of "art," but the truth? No way.

Free speech for them, not us. ”

“"Scuse me RL, but when did northeast FLorida get annexed by Detroit? :P”

“Man, will I be happy when when you dudes learn how easy it is to remove that hair that's tangled in your foreskin.”

“CRITICS & HYPOCRITES

September 8, 2006 -- How to tote up all the hypocrisy spewing from Camp Clinton - including from the former president himself - over ABC's upcoming mini-series, "The Path to 9/11"?
Calling the docudrama, which is based on the Kean-Hamilton 9/11 Commission's report as well as other sources, "fiction," the Clintonites want it re-edited to tone down its criticism of the former president - or, better still, yanked entirely.

To show the film as it now stands, Bill Clinton's office said in a statement yesterday, would be "despicable."

What - no liberal cries of "censorship"? Nothing about the sacred constitutional guarantee of free speech? No warnings about the "chilling effect" caused by ideological zealots intent on pursuing their partisan agenda?

Oh, well. Hypocrisy, it's been said, is the lubricant of political discourse.

Clinton's folks - including former National Security Adviser Sandy "I've Got Stolen Secret Papers Down My Pants" Berger - claim the flick is full of factual errors that portray them as lax in their pursuit of Osama bin Laden.

But the 9/11 Commission did fault the Clinton folks, along with the Bush administration, for mistakes that paved the way for 9/11. As we've argued on this page for the past five years, those mistakes extend back to the Reagan and Carter administrations.

But with Democrats battling to regain control of Congress, it seems that nothing that doesn't place 100 percent of the blame on George W. Bush is acceptable.

How the tables have turned. Remember how Democrats responded to Republican criticism three years ago, when CBS prepared to air a two-part drama about Ronald Reagan that portrayed the late president as an unfeeling tyrant, complete with wholly invented dialogue?

"This is censorship, pure and simple," wailed Barbra Streisand.

The Reagan film's defenders noted that some of the critics hadn't even seen the film - just like ex-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who now complains about the 9/11 film, even though she only has second-hand information about it.

And People for the American Way lashed out at "the echo chamber of right-wing pundits and Republican Party officials" for declaring that Ronald Reagan "is off-limits to media treatment that is anything short of fawning."

Gee. Isn't that exactly what the Clintonites are saying about their leader right now? How shocked they seem that some folks in Hollywood, of all places, deem to portray Team Clinton in a way that is "short of fawning."

Tom Kean, co-chairman of the 9/11 Commission and a paid consultant for the film, insists it is balanced and accurate - adding that "people in both administrations are not going to be happy."

Which is as it should be. The saddest part about the real-life path to 9/11 is that the blame dates back a quarter-century.

Sad to say, the Clintonite protests seem to be working - ABC late yesterday said it has altered some scenes. Just how far the network gives in remains to be seen.

“They say that movie is innacurrate and being passed off as fact. Hollyweird is making a buck off of a disaster and rewriting history as well.
But, my solution is to just not watch it.”
