Homophobia: N.C. Govenor Uses Gay Slur While Endorsing Hillary.

N.C. Governor: Hillary's No "Pansy"
Citing Clinton's toughness, Mike Easley uses word seen as gay slur
APRIL 29--With Hillary Clinton standing at his side, North Carolina Governor Mike Easley today described the Democratic presidential candidate as so tough that she "makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy." Easley's compliment, as it were, may offend some voters since the word "pansy" is often used in a derogative fashion to describe a male homosexual. Or at least that's what it says in the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary on our shelf (we scanned the "pansy" entry from page 828 and posted it below). Other dictionaries (Oxford, Cambridge, and Dictionary.com) offer a similar definition for "pansy," describing it as a "disparaging" or "derogatory" term for an "effeminate or homosexual man." The word's primary definition, of course, refers to a plant of the viola family, which apparently was not what Easley had in mind when comparing Clinton to the boxer portrayed six times on screen by Sylvester Stallone. When she stepped up to the mic to accept Easley's endorsement, Clinton said nothing about his "pansy" comment.

I guess that's just part of courting Archie Bunker democrats, you have to show you're one of them. Shots, beers, hunting, and homophobia...
*** ATTENTION ALL YOU BREEDERS ***
You are not allowed to use the word "pansy". This word is reserved for use by those who have earned the right to use it, i.e., the GBLT community. That is all. :whatever:

Shots, beers, hunting, and homophobia...
They have got to find a new word. "Homophobia", which means "the fear of homosexuals" just doesn't work when you are talking about people who are not scared of downing shots of hard liquor, drink massive amounts of beer, and take a gun into the woods to kill wild animals.
I don't think anyone who isn't scared of liquor, beer, and wild animals would turn into a wilting pansy when in the company of a random homosexual.
Homosexuals aren't generally scary. They are generally a source of humor. Some of them, though, have an agenda which is infuriating. Not scary, but infuriating.

More than that LU, we need to start getting out what is real and that is hetrophobia.

Easley doesn't like blacks or poor people, either. Believe me, his preditory lending laws as AG of NC did more to keep black and poor citizens from refinancing and obtaining lower rates than any strong-armed tactic he could have done would have ever accomplished.

A valid point. (H5, for lol-ness) However, from now on could you not use the term "wilting pansy" and substitute "wilting Viola wittrockiana" as IMHO, the latter sounds way more derogitory and thus, way more fun.
:p

Now wait a sec. I saw the gun porn that you posted down in the 2A forum. You're still scared? BS for you. :tongue:
But only because you shouldn't be, based on those pics you posted . . .
