What are the Fundies saying about *'s little "curse word"?

[stop the bleeding]

seems like something like this would fly into the face of their exalted Jesusleader chosen one.

Any thoughts, comments, or quotes.

1. It's Clinton's fault... n/t

[Craig3410]

2. Hell no;

they're already spinning it as saying "he's tough". :puke:

[stop the bleeding]

3. I am no expert, but it just flies in the face of being moral and christian

seems like this wouldn't even be an argument a fundy would try to say was right.

Up is down, black is white, into the rabbit hole we go.;)

[meegbear]

6. Yep ... now if was President Gore or Kerry ...

well then, that's a different matter.

4. I seriously doubt that Bush "accidentally" said that.

He's playing to his Fundie audience. He's trying to look tough (swearing very earthy), wise (he knows just what to do and he's telling those leaders), and Fundie (blame it on Lebanon, support Israel). That was scripted. Rove probably even gave him the "go" in his earpiece when he knew the mike was on.

If you accidentally catch something Bush says, it's more likely to be "You ever throw up your beer a little in your mouth?" or "Hey, your wife is hot, you want to swap for Condi?"

5. So much for bush's commitment to soften the 'tough rhetoric'........

fundies probably saying: praise the lord (for the 'tough rhetoric') and pass the ammunition

7. The chewing with his mouth open

grossed me out way more than the cursing

He is just such an animal (no offense to most animals)

10. The lack of manners is definitely worse than the cursing, IMO.

You would expect someone with his background and education would have acquired some table manners along the way, wouldn't you? Chewing with your mouth closed is something you teach your children when they are toddlers.

8. What will we tell the children?!!

[Sadie5]

9. Where can I find the video

of the 'chewing rat'(Bush eating with his mouth open) I have to see this one.

[Ronnie]

13. It's on Crooks and Liars.

...

[Lasher]

14. Hey, why didn't I think of C&L?

Don't answer that. I had been looking for a clip of the Putin smackdown and just now found it there, thanks to you. I watched it about 8 times, heh heh.

Edit: Thanks for the pics of Toby & Pita. Looks like they've got it made in the shade.

11. Most won't care.

They draw a distinction between cursing and foul language.

One's bad; the other's frowned upon. There's some variance in this--some make "frowned upon" almost the same as banned, but will wind up adducing different reasons for it. Push a fundie, and "shit", "fuck", and "for Christ's sake!" are different.

All show anger, and are frowned upon. But "shit" is merely crude, although we constantly run into what it refers to. "Fuck" is crude, and we don't all run into it; talking about private sexual matters around kids is frowned upon for that reason. "for Christ's sake" is taking the Lord's name in vain; it's not gross, but a more severe violation of the code.

I had a fundie minister that had no problem with 'shit'. Many of the congregation didn't, either. "Fuck" was a problem, but "for Christ's sake" would land you in hot water.

12. "Bush's little curse word"...

Please! Do you really think the Fundies care? They don't practice what they preach.

Remember, a couple of weeks ago, when Limpballs was telling his listeners he couldn't say why he was in Columbia(?) with the viagra? You know...*wink* *wink*. Were his listeners outraged?

I rest my case. :P

15. I've seen two responses already here on DU

"It makes him more human"

"So what? Everybody does it."

[guinivere]

19. Really? More human?

He's still a chimp. He just says shit instead of throwing it (as far as we know).

[Nay]

16. He's a man's man, a manly mannish man, a man of men, etc.,etc.

until I puke in the toilet.

[guinivere]

17. They will say he's manly, tough, blah blah yadda...

If it were a Dem doing that, it would be a different story. :eyes:

[PWRinNY]

18. Already they're trying to figure out

how to add "shit" to the 10 Commandments and Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Oh wait - they don't know the Sermon on the Mount. That would be a "liberal" passage...

[onecent]

20. Bush is listening, use big words. That is excellent!! n/t

[PWRinNY]

21. Thanks!

Feel free to use it - pass it around, LOL.

22. They'd have to be cognizant of English first.
