Bill Bennett and Mona Charen discuss swearing (it helps the terrorists)
http://bennettmornings.com/pg/jsp/charts/streamingAudioMaster.jsp?dispid=302&headerDest=L3BnL2pzcC9tZWRpYS9mbGFzaHdlbGNvbWUuanNwP3BpZD0zMjE3MSZwbGF5bGlzdD10cnVlJmNoYXJ0dHlwZT1jaGFydCZjaGFydElEPTMwMiZwbGF5bGlzdFNpemU9Mg==

Mona: I mean, look at the language people use.

Who was it that thought it was ok to use profanity, to sprinkle the s-word and f-word was no big deal. It was basically the liberals. People who thought that stuffy conservatives were square.

You can't turn on your television without being assaulted with this kind of thing.

It's bad enough for your kids to hear it, but I hate hearing it too.


Bill: This is defining deviancy down.

I confess to a special cringing when I hear women use certain words.


Mona: The more frightening thing is faced with an external threat, faced with these medieval thugs who have a vision of the type of society they want.

It's looking like we may not have that profound confidence in our own values to do what's necessary to fight off the threat.

:scared:

11. Cringe at this, asshole.
"I confess to a special cringing when I hear women use certain words."

It's pretty rare for me to use profanity on this board...but I will make an exception for this dude.

14. Speaking of vulgar...
"you wanted to reduce crime -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

15. I once thought of a tool to help people like this.
I called it the anal tension meter. It is sort of like the brain wave meters people use to have. They thought happy thoughts and tried to keep the meter needle in the happy zone.

My meter would have a probe that the conservatives could shove up their behinds and as someone said fuck or shit, in stead of tightening their ass holes they would watch the meter and try to keep things nice and lose. After a while they would not be bothered by such words and their lives would be better with out always being a tight ass.

17. Ha!
Perchance they haven't wandered about freeper-ville at all or read other questionable christian posts on the internet. I submit the following site as an example. Posters are presumably Christian, Jesus-loving folk...

19. Say umm Bill...
Wondering a bit here if you've ever discussed with Mona what kind of language you used when you were dropping all that coin. Or better yet, when the missus found out there was 8 million lost and gone forever? Either her our your language will do here.

20. As Bu$h said to Blair: " .. Shit!"
Or, as Cheney said to Lehey: "Go fuck yourself."


The GOPs real bankruptcy bill. The morally bankrupt Bill Bennett.
