thanks DU for clearing this up - I remember some dramatic wars over the use of the word "bitch"
in the past on DU and I think it's a good thing that this has been settled once and for all.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=inbox&view=200681

At Tue Mar 13, 2012, 10:58 AM you sent an alert on the following post:

She is a moron.

A dangerous moron. We already knew she was stupid, but we didn't know HOW stupid. The sad thing is, though, all over the net today, she has defenders. People are saying this is spin, that Wallace and Schmidt are disgruntled former staffers, that "Team Obama" and "Liberal Hollywood" are out to get her..
etc
etc
etc

However, if you watch the movie, and compare it to her major gaffes, along with what we all know of that campaign, it makes perfect sense. It explains everything. They had NOT A ****ING CLUE who this bitch was, and yet they were ready to put her a heartbeat away from running this country, just for conservative win. To me, that alone, no matter all the rest we have learned, is totally and completely unforgivable. Nicole Wallace is the only one I have any respect for, because, even while working on the campaign, she couldn't bring herself to vote right.

The Right is Wrong.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)

YOUR COMMENTS:

Just curious to know if it's ok to call a woman a "bitch" now on DU (even if that woman is Sarah Palin).

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Tue Mar 13, 2012, 11:09 AM, and voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I was like "Why did someone alert on this??!!" until I hit "bitch", esp. used like that. People should know better by now.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Generic use of "bitch", like calling a guy a bastard, IMHO.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This feminist despises gendered insults. I also, personally, have a hard time not calling Palin (or other people) a bitch. I know, it's contradictory -- I contain multitudes. In any case, I have a hard time hiding that righteous rant based on one word, so I'm going to vote to let stand, and encourage the alerter to suggest to the poster directly to change the terminology. This vote was very close in my mind, though.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: For Princess Dumbass I will make an exception.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: "bitch" is acceptable as is "dick" etc. on DU

Thank you.

I would suggest to jurer #2, however, that the word "bitch" is a pretty gender specific insult, while the word "bastard" isn't. And a big thanks to jurer #6 for informing me that calling a man a "dick" is also cool.

When will these idiots learn that whenever they decide to make something an issue, it only divides them further and shines a spotlight on their hypocrisy?  Jeez, you would think that someone would be shouting for them to shut the **** up.

Actually (as I assume you all know by now) this war has been waging for a number of weeks (Fluke and Maher).

For me it has been an instructive period. I knew they were hypocrites but the lesson was no less stark.

They have been our bitches ever since the old place( Conservative Underground) started up. We post and they do pretty much everything we expect them to. They are so rigid in their ideals and thought that they dare not change least they get banned over at the DUmp.

I laughed out loud when I "readied" that.  Son-of-a-bintch came to mind.  Not that you need it, but H5 anyway.
