    Spin, spin, spin. I am not trying to "sell" you on anything other than accepting that using a racial slur is WRONG regardless if it's Allen saying it or you. Just because he said it first, doesn't mean it's acceptable to repeat it as long as you reference him.

    Allen's action was wrong. I am not defending him nor am I bullying you from reminding people of what he did, but is it really necessary to repeat the slur in doing so? On another note, why is it even necessary to bring up? Allen was wrong. Allen is evil. I get it. However Allen is gone. He lost the election. He no longer holds a public office nor do I see a connection between Allen and Jeyanathan to warrant such a statement other than they are in the same party. Personally I am much more interested about Jeyanathan's views ongoing than I am on his thoughts on Allen. I want a leader who is focused on where we are now and how to get where we need to be rather than maintain focus on the hindsight of past wrongdoings.

    Sitting on this couch, maybe. Drinking tea, maybe. Watching Oprah? What makes you think that? (Read up on the conservative group I mentioned in a previous post.)

    I'll let the people responsible for the hijacking (if that has actually happened) respond to that. So far, I have said that I appreciate this candidate's interest in this part of the county, wished him good luck, and asked him about his political views (particularly about a person who represented his party in the most recent election). What is out of line with that?

    Point taken. Unless the thread turns to focus on Jeyanathan directly, I am done here.

    I am not done yet :D

    Here is your first post to this thread and what prompted the hijacking.
    "Jey,

    I am glad to see you have interest in our area of the county. I wish you the best of luck in running with the party whose most recent leadership included Senator Macaca."

    I still do not read anywhere where you "asked him his political views".

    Personally, I think it was calculated what you did but you do not have the sack to admit it. But hey, it is all fair in politics I guess.

    So, when you don't like what someone says, you make comments about their genitals (or lack thereof) in a public forum read by children. A class act.

    Dude! I never labeled you a war-monger. For proof, see your quote of my comment and your reaction to it.

    You are quick to say others are spinning, but you don't seem to have the same concern when you do.:bs:

    Also, could we make it a rule to not talk about genitals in this forum? :eww: I don't care about yours personally.

    Well, if I did spin it was unintentional. Guess reading all of your posts have rubbed off. :D

    And why shouldn't genitals be mentioned every now and then? You ashamed of yours or something?
    And don't get all high fillutin and sanctimonious on me, it is not like I was graphic or disparinging.

    I don't necessarily disagree. As a compromise, could we have a new forum on Genitalia Comments? :eek:

    All along, I have been thinking that the "Politics" forum was the "Nine Year Olds" forum! Thanks for setting me straight.
