The latest manufactured media controversy: He called her a "whore"

And yet when I actually read the details of the story, it was

1) A staffer who called her a whore
2) A private conversation that was never meant to be recorded

But that won't stop the corporate media (CNN for one) from beating this horse to death. I notice Democrats are constantly being scrutinized by the media with these manufactured nontroversies.

1. This is how these people talk behind the scenes

And Brown didn't even say it, so it's not really even an issue.

2. They were talking about being a corporate whore. Not the same thing.

3. she IS a whore . . . to big business interests. eom

4. Brown's campaign manager apologized to Mrs. Whitman...

He should apologize to whores

at least they work for a living

5. I've met some whores.

In my travels as a young man throughout the world and I would venture to say that they where all better people than Miss Whitman.

6. Morning Joe started his show off with this. They're desperate...n/t

7. Sorry, Meg

Jerry Brown ain't no Clayton Williams and you sure as hell ain't no Ann Richards. Just throw more money out there, I'm sure that will make it all better.

8. As a woman, I'm outraged!

She's not a whore--she's more like a pimp.

12. Media--quick to bash women with the W word

slow immobile to examine men who would pass legislation enslaving women to rapists and abusive husbands.


trash women=free pass

15. BWAAHAH AHAHaHaHhahahAhA

Well played, M'am

:rofl:

9. Just because it was a private conversation

that does NOT make it okay!

A woman is not a whore no matter how much you may dislike her. I am seriously not the only person who still thinks that here, am I?

[seabeyond]

11. we use to have the choice of virgin or whore. now we are all just whores.

evolution....

17. I'm with you.

[hendo]

19. Thank you! :) Nice to know I am not alone. NT

[bbinacan]

20. Agreed.

If I lived in CA., I could not, as a progressive, vote for Brown. I wouldn't vote for Whitman.

[mitchum]

13. 'Tis Pity She's a Whore

thank you, Mr Ford

[freebrew]

14. So....from the article:

"A Whitman spokeswoman says the term is an insult to both Meg and to women of California."


It seems it was supposed to be an insult to Whitman.
I don't have a problem with that, considering the circumstance.

[joeybee12]

16. Brown needs to apologize...to real whores...

they shouldn't be compared to the filth that is Meg Whitman.

[Gin]

18. next Whitman ad....I am not a whore...I am you!!!

[bbinacan]

21. I'm sorry, but you don't

call a woman a whore when you're a Progressive. Brown should be ashamed.
