7. I didn't see any concerns about this when all three Clintons
were subjects of daily sexual jokes and innuendo.

God, I hate the f&@king media in this country.

8. that's it, I can't take these god-damned people anymore.. this did it
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 10:00 PM by arcane1
don't even TRY to tell me that nobody in this 43% "yes" vote ever told or laughed at a joke about Clinton in those 8 fucking years.... the very same bastards who are whining the loudest about this, were the ones doing it to Clinton the most!!!!


and SHAME ON CNN for even considering the possibility of asking this ridiculous, asinine question in the first place

:grr:

12. I think you have it wrong....
or I do.

Do you think it inappropriate. It's a double negative when you vote no.

A no vote means it is appropriate to tell the joke, I think.

11. I answered and asked: Why is it inappropriate AFTER CLINTON?
Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 09:31 PM by LittleApple81
This was my message: (I don't think any of these make a bit of difference, but again I feel better).

Do you have a real statistician or somebody with common sense that you could have help with the polls? The questions are usually really bad.

The one right now: "Are explicit jokes about sitting U.S. presidents inappropriate?" DID YOU EVER ASK THIS QUESTION WHEN CLINTON WAS PRESIDENT?

Maybe the question should be: "Have explicit jokes about sitting U.S. presidents become inappropriate after the Clinton presidency?"

14. I voted No. It's ridiculous that there is so mich debate over...
...a Whoopi Goldberg routine so few people have heard. I haven't heard it.

For more on the Kerry fundraiser which produced this phony outrage, go to MoveLeft Media:
