Ahhh, the MSM!!!! Calls Clooney's Blog Profanity-Laced???

[im10ashus]

Did the Associated Press read the same blog on Huffington as did I? How is Clooney's post profanity-laced?

LOS ANGELES - George Clooney has faulted Democrats for their timidity in the months before the start of the Iraq war, saying many party leaders muted their criticism of the Bush administration rather than risk being branded as unpatriotic.

"The fear of (being) criticized can be paralyzing. Just look at the way so many Democrats caved in the run up to the war," Clooney said Monday in a profanity-laced posting on The Huffington Post blog site.

"In 2003, a lot of us were saying, `Where is the link between Saddam and bin Laden? What does Iraq have to do with 9/11?'" Clooney wrote. "We have to agree that it's not unpatriotic to hold our leaders accountable and to speak out."

Clooney's latest films, "Syriana," for which he won an Oscar for best supporting actor, and "Good Night, and Good Luck," which he starred in and directed, have been viewed as critiques of the state of U.S. policy domestically and overseas.

1. He learned all those words from listening to the president of Vice

on the floor of the US Senate

Tell MSM to shove it

4. So why do you call them "mainstream??"

They're hardly the "MSM." Please call them what they are, The Corporate Media.

NGU.

7. Probably the 'bs' and 'f' you.

Those really do fall under the heading of profanity, though many do not agree.

I enjoyed his post and appreciate his passion (and agree with him, btw) -- BUT I think it does reduce the power of your argument when you use slang, including profanity.

It makes you an easy target -- people can ignore your argument and focus on the language you used to make it. It may be exactly how you feel, but it will be used against you; so why do it?

8. Hey, it's only LACED with profanity, not RIDDLED with it... sheesh

:rofl:

10. No doubt about it. He used the word "liberal" three times.

[oldtime dfl_er]

11. They want to make it about "profanity"

rather than about what it is: taking back the word LIBERAL and being proud of it.

12. So, what's their point. Many things in this world are profane,

the least of which is a word!

Idiots.

[RaleighNCDUer]

13. It IS profanity laced. He said 'Hell' once, he said 'Bullshit' once,

he said 'Fuck' once,

AND HE SAID 'LIBERAL' THREE TIMES!!!!!

[im10ashus]

14. Exactly what I was thinking.

How dare he use the "L" word!
