I wasn't on the forum at the time but I expressed my disgust with David Letterman in the middle of an illustration in a sermon. Letterman has always been my favorite, but what he said about Palin was indefensible.
Look, I know what you're getting at. It really doesn't matter what my political leanings are but since you're dropping the insinuations, I've never voted for a Democrat in my life. But I have befriended many liberals and was very close to the son of a major liberal congressman. As it turns out, he was a human being just like I was.
No, I'm not dropping insinuations. I'm simply asking questions. I don't know you so I don't want to simply assume things and make knee jerk reactions.
Often times people are very politically driven and hold a double standard. My questions were to determine if that was the case with you or if the whole issue was simply a matter of humor and taste.
Seeing your responses Im ready to believe the latter is the case here.
For you to be so quick to assume the negative does however make me wonder about your spirit in this matter.

When you first questioned me using terms like "hissy fit" rather than traditional terms of dialogue such as, "Did you express your displeasure?", and followed it up with the Palin question, I'm sure you can see how I thought you were insinuating something.
You're welcome to "wonder" about my spirit. We're all asked to "try the spirits" so I have no problem with that.

That's cause IMO you had a hissy fit LOL
Not as bad as a hanky stompin hissy fit, but a hissy fit nonetheless.
To express displeasure, to me, would have been to say "I don't like that joke about drowning pelosi, I don't think it's funny." and left it there.
Now, it's perfectly within your rights to pitch a hissy fit, even a hanky stompin, denture loosin, cry to mamma, hissy fit, should you have chosen so.
Just as its acceptable for me to point out your hissy fit and ask questions about it.
I will say that from this brief encounter with you, You have convinced me that my first knee jerk impression of you was wrong. That makes me glad I asked questions first.
Apparently, you are not the politically driven, angry, fault finding, person with a double standard that at first I was wondering about.
Maybe you just have a very different sense of humor, or very little sense of humor. Maybe you are just a very serious person who does not enjoy most humor and cast the appearance of a slightly abrasive character?
I don't know, but I'm glad I looked deeper. I guess further interaction will help me learn even more.
No, really I do! They keep me from eating peaches when I want to eat green beans.....err.... or vise versa....
What i have often found from those who hate labels is they believe in someting.... and thus have been labeled something.... that the majority doesn't like.
potted meat probably doesn't like labels either.... but I bet if you were to poll cans of pineapples they are all pretty happy with theirs! especially those rings. yummy !

In sociology, the word [labeling] is used more as a metaphor, than a concrete concept. The general function of labels are widely known and recognized as a method of distinction that helps people recognize one product from another. In social terms, labels represent a way of differentiating and identifying people that is considered by many as a form of prejudice and discrimination.

In Ferdology the use of the concrete concept of labeling is used as a metaphor to explain the value of the sociological use of "labeling". One should never be discriminated against because of who they are. However, one is certainly responsible for what they do. A committed adulterer isn’t the kind of person a Christian would want to spend quality time with (except to help them learn the error of their ways and lead them to repentance). The “label” in that case is helpful.
However this thread really is about politics. And the concept of labeling is often brought up, as you have, to suggest that it is wrong to label someone as it relates to politics. In fact liberals often say they cannot stand labels. Why? Likely because only 24% of the American population self identify with that term. A devoted liberal has a difficult time getting their message across once they have been “labeled”. I would suggest to you that being able to identify (read: label) a liberal early on would save the rest of the 76% of Americans a great deal of difficulty.
Most folk don’t like potted meat. Most folk get mad when they cut into a nice can of sweet canned peaches only to find their peaches are really potted meat.
You can use the above as another metaphor for Barak Obama….. I nice label stating “vicious uber liberal bent on turning America into a nanny state in the mold set forth by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn and Saul Alyenski” would have been quite helpful…..
Alas that label failed however it appears that the can has opened and some folk are beginning to peer in…..
Potted meat…. Yuck….

I laughed when I read this, not because it's funny, but because I feel your pain.

If the label is correct, then we know exactly what we are buying. Sometimes labels are good.
