Comments on: Best Line from the G.O.P. Debate http://www.dennyburk.com/best-line-from-the-gop-debate/ A commentary on theology, politics, and culture Sun, 12 Feb 2012 03:54:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tristan http://www.dennyburk.com/best-line-from-the-gop-debate/#comment-8081 Tristan Thu, 17 May 2007 13:35:53 +0000 http://www.dennyburk.com/?p=728#comment-8081 Was Paul's comment serious? I hope not. If it was, it's probably the best unintentional comedy I've seen today. It perfectly demonstrates the hypocritical errors of PC folk. Mike Huckabee makes a joke because John Edwards spends $400 on a haircut (anyone with common sense knows thats way too much for a simple haircut). Paul is offended because he knows that only homosexual people spend a lot of money at hair salons so he is obviously being called a homosexual (ridiculous assumption). Furthermore, Paul fails to realize that the major problem people had with Ann Coulter was not that she was referring to Edwards as a homosexual, but that she used such a deragatory word to do so. Paul makes the same error by repeating the word and applying it to all homosexual people (or was it just people who spend money in salon's). I'm always impressed at how the people trying to be so "sensitive" and PC end up being more demeaning and stereotyping in their speech than the "insensitive" people. Impressive.

I don't think the inference was meant to be taken in a homosexual context. I think the inference by Huckabee was that Edwards is ‘pretty’ and looks like he spends some time on his appearance.

The conservative base doesn't like out of control spending. Thanks, Denny Faimon,

Impressive. interesting note here:
