Why post here? There have to be plenty of political web sites to post on. Your act gets old. People are tired of it. Stop acting like you are above it all. And your thinly veiled insults are getting tired. At least be a man and own up when you insult someone. You're a very angry old man, and it gets boring hearing about it.
I refuse to call you a name back.
As far as horse racing...go back through this very thread. I stated Unbridled Danger in the 7th at AQ on Thurs...twice.
My Derby pick? Still making up my mind. As of now, No biz, but it could change.
Insults?
No thanks.

DaHoss,
What happened?
Did you go back through this thread to confirm what I said?
Is you silence an admission that I'm yet again correct?
I can't wait for you to insult me again.
And, calling me the name you did should indeed get you benched, if the "code of conduct" wasn't impartially applied.
See ya.

Between calling me a Nazi for disagreeing with you, calling Kev a racist, your crap with Baba and insulting Chuck's training ability, you are really something special. Keep it up.
If the mods deem it appropriate to give me a benching for calling you an a$$hole so be it. I can deal with it and I stand by it. I notice I don't see anyone disagreeing with me. I guess I thought your cheap shots yesterday were very low, even for a nut like you. I will say it again, all of your peace stuff is a bunch of crap and your cheap shots prove it. Again, you are a very angry man and I hope you get help. You need it. Bad. And as a favor to all of your fans, do you think you could bring back the lessons learned from chicken's thread? I know I am not the only one missing that.
There is a freakshow going on in a DT thread and I am not stuck in the middle of it.

The first time is always the sweetest....

I'm just tuning into this topic. I read the first couple pages and couldn't read any further.

Couple things:

I don't get upset about ethnic jokes or insults when they're generalized. I've been guilty of saying such things myself despite the fact that I'm of Italian, Irish, English and German heritage.

I used to listen to Imus a lot on my drive to work each morning, but not since I've been retired. I would never classify Imus as a racist. He's just an equal opportunity insulter.

However, Imus made specific comments against a specific group of women. That takes the generalized ethic insult throwing to an intolerable level.

That being said, Imus should apologize in person to all the girls on Rutger's basketball team. He should be sincere, contrite, and apologetic. The girls, of course, have the option to accept or deny his apology.

That's where it should stop. Imus doesn't have to apologize to anyone except the persons he insulted.

This is getting monotonous, and it's a spring board for everyone with an ax to grind or a political agenda.

I am shocked. I truly am. I thought this would pass, and apologies would be spoken, and that would be it.
