If it was Michelle Obama that was "pimped out" would it be OK?

[catagory5]

Look at it the other way around. Hell Bill couldnt even make a few "strong" comments about Obama without everyone and their dog flipping out. This comment was way off the cuff. I really like Shuster. I hope he gets to come back. But I think, the MSM should lay off a little.

1. No, that would not be ok at all.

[ellacott]

2. It's been acnowledged that his comment was inappropriate

You all run shit in the ground. My goodness

[joshcryer]

5. I have seen at least a dozen people who don't think it was an issue.

Don't be silly.

[ellacott]

10. So what??

This post isn't going to make them change their minds.

[madrchsod]

11. really? dam i was going to clear my " ignore " today...

[nonconformist]

13. WE do? We run shit in the ground?

Really, because the vast majority of "cult" threads are started by Obama supporters... for an example.

[ellacott]

16. Oh please, there are enough juvenile threads from BOTH camps started on this board

It's like this board is full of children. I wish you all would grow up.

You using the "cult" shit is just proof that these stupid threads are not started by Obama supporters only.

[nonconformist]

19. I never said only one camp posts shit.

I just found it kind of funny that you would say that non-Obama supporters are the ones running shit into the ground, when yesterday (and today, some) this board was FULL of "we're not a cult! so stop talking about it!" threads from Obama supporters.

The irony struck me.

But we agree, both camps are being awful at times.

3. No. Who here thinks it was OK? Very few, I would bet. But let's keep the outrage alive!

[Bonobo]

4. You just started this thread because you wanted to call her a "Ho", right?

[blm]

6. Most here don't think it was OK. Why so many threads of outrage over a few?

7. The question should be: would a simple apology have been acceptable? n/t

[Orangepeel]

8. I think people would complain

Depending on who made the comment, he or she might have to apologize. I doubt anyone would be fired over it.

[catagory5]

12. get a grip

I called no one a "ho"

[Orangepeel]

17. What?

:shrug:

[NYCGirl]

9. No, that would not be OK. But he apologized. NT

[thevoiceofreason]

14. Nobody says it is OK

What is your source that anyone related to Obama said that? NAother bullshit HRC claim -- you have to be a victim, eh?

[joeybee12]

18. Look around sweetie...every post about this has at least one

Obama supporter saying it's not big deal...and what about the threads started trying to make this into an issue to bash Hilary with. There is soemthing very wrong with that mentality.

[AlCzervik]

15. look the word "Pimp" shouldn't be used by a news organization unless they're

doing a story on an actual pimp. I'm already way past tired of the whole story, he's been suspended, i'm sure he'll be back and thats that.

[anamandujano]

20. RACIST!!!!!

When the word "fairytale" can be construed as racist and a comment on LBJ signing a bill likewise. Oh, the screams would be far and wide.

The MSM would have roundtables discussing it. The shot heard round the world.

[HeraldSquare212]

21. Shuster was frustrated because they don't let reporters ask Chelsea questions.

Michelle takes questions, so the issue would not have arisen.

[johnnydrama]

22. depends on who said it

David Shuster has been a great reporter. He has no history of statements like this. He made a mistake. Everybody deserves 1 mistake in their life don't they?
