Here is a version that attempts to gloss over the implications of what Obama said:

Quote:
He predicted that the Virginia shooting would lead to specific questions about the gunman's motive and access to weaponry. But he said he hoped the national discussion would broaden to consider the ubiquity of violence, even in lesser forms.

The recent controversial comments of former radio host Don Imus constitute a form of violence because the words are degrading to young women, he said. Federal programs that hurt people by providing inadequate education and health care are another form, and even violence elsewhere degrades American society if we turn a blind eye, he said.

Right, but doesn't it seem weird? We can talk about the most violent stuff, but can't say/read a dirty word? Pu-lease. :rolleyes:


In fact, I thought recently that it was OK to drop the F- or S-bomb if it was in the context of the news or event.

I agree with you! it does seem to be a double standard.

Any news person CAN drop an F bomb..... I think its just the fines they try to avoid. I believe the FCC can fine in excess of a million for an F bomb.
