More drama for Palin's family

Maricopa, Arizona? That is bizarre. It's far from everything and riddled with foreclosures. Maybe far from everything is a good thing for her?

The word "f****t" is often used in a context not referring specifically to gays.  I say it all the time, as a general insult, rather than anything directed towards gays.

Yes, in that case you're insulting someone who isn't gay by using a slur describing him as gay or in negative terms associated with gays (weak, feminine, whatever.) It's a slur against gays, using it against a straight person doesn't negate that.

How old are you, again? I didn't think much of the Willow Palin "scandal"...

I don't think of it in that way.  Most people who use it in such a context don't think of it in that way either.

Really? Then when you call someone a f****t, what do you mean by it?

Morgan is completely right.

The people who take offense to it are gay people who somehow believe they are perpetually oppressed by society or their welfare-dependent Democrat Party allies who believe they are oppressed by society.

Who is this guy?
