Bette Midler apologizes for controversial 'women, are the n-word of the world' tweet

I'd reply in copious detail - as I'm sure this will be both effective and helpful - but you've reminded me that I need to pick up some double-stick tape.

 

No ... this one has the 1000 yard stare.

 

Going to make the charge and then tuck tail and run? Seems odd. You accused me of something. Please demonstrate how I am afflicted with what you accused me of having.

 

I think Bette Midler did a Randy Marsh lol

 

Eck. Glad she didn't actually use the word, but still pretty stupid. Both in statement and in intention of message.

No, Women aren't .. that. At all.

Honestly, if your not black or a history teacher, just strike it from your lexicon. Simple as that.

 

Another day, another BS post accusing the new whipping boy Google of not being fair.

So what did Indo? I Googled and this story appears First orvsecond in Huff Post and it NY daily News, Fox, USA Today , Daily Mail, Metro UK, The Forward, Newsweek, News.com, Black America Web, ENews, ET Canada, a ton of individual outlets, FOX OF CORSE, Brietbart. Yahoo, Enews,mirror and more and more!pages and pages and on and on

Don't the people who post this phony baloney crap claiming that the MSM media or Google is suppressing stories every get tired of posting fakery and every time get proven thatbtheybarevwrong??

 

Hahaha! That's a good one! What a choice of adjectives! Abbreviated or not, she insulted "n words" en masse ... Like what I've done there?

 

I need the double-stick to do that!

 

That much is obvious.

I invite you to look at the title of this forum. "Political Forum" We debate here.

You posted in:

Current Events
Discuss the latest political news not applicable to other categories.

What are the rules for posting a thread in current events?

THREAD CREATION

The opening post of a thread sets the topic and the tone of the discussion. It should contain a member's opinions or questions with sufficient elaboration to establish a foundation for respectful discussion and debate. Threads should not be posted in the wrong forum, or be duplicates of other threads and/or topics (creating multiple threads with fundamentally the same topic is not allowed). Images, links, quotations, etc., should be used to support a member's opinion, not to replace it. Quoting from an article is optional. If a quote is added, it must be clearly distinguishable from the personal commentary. Quotes may only contain a small portion of the article. We do not allow the entire article to be posted. Personal commentary must be a paragraph with at least 3 sentences of respectful elaboration. Thread titles should be a description of the thread topic (and if not they may be altered by the moderators). Whether a thread has sufficiently set a basis for respectful debate on the thread topic will be at the discretion of the moderators. All other board rules apply to thread titles and creation. Threads may be deleted, merged or closed for not meeting any of the requirements listed.


What you want is to claim her statement is fair then not be challenged. If that's what you want why not start your own blog because we debate here. Its the point of starting threads. To discuss the current event and the personal commentary in the OP which you provided.

If you cannot stomach that then don't post threads here.

 

Told ya! Anyways ... anybody inquiring why Middler's twitter account hasn't at least been suspended? I've heard hate speech isn't normally tolerated on that platform.

 

I think she's a coward for backing down.
John Lennon wouldn't have.

 

He seemed so reasonable & open to understanding...

As to Midler, I think it's the "one set of rules for conservatives, another for liberals" thing.

 

I didn't post this thread smart guy. Who died and made you a mod?

 

If only someone had posted the most obvious, and most recent example ... complete with pictures to further simplify the issue of double standards. ::

 

Didn't John Lennon have a song with that title?

 

Oops you are right about that. My bad.

So you just want to comment and not be challenged? You do realize you are in a debate forum right?

 

It is just a song, personal experience and personal angle, personal kitchen, catchy melody, splendid voice.

She would have nothing to apologize for in a free society ...

 

Dude, how much of your life do you devote to following me around and trying, though constantly failing, to bust my balls?

 

I believe this was the reference Midler intended, yes.

 

2-3 minutes a day I would guess. Its pretty small when you refuse to support your claims.

Does it upset you its not more?

 

I beg to differ.

 

She's quoting a John Lennon song. Too bad he's dead or folks could take potshots at him, too.



Edit: someone beat me to it, but I didn't read the whole thread before posting.

 

Since you don't debate back its pretty small.

btw 10 seconds for this one

 

If you say so.

 

I do

3 seconds
