Letters to the Savage Love column used to be preceded by the salutation “Hey Faggot”. Just because you’re trying to reclaim a phrase doesn’t mean it wasn’t originally intended as an insult, and still carry some baggage.
Do I really need to point out the distinctions between “Obamacare” and “faggot”? I’m pretty sure the Obama administration would not claim that “it’s only okay when we say it.”
I believe the President has expressed the opinion that he doesn’t mind it. Because, ‘Obama does care!’
The Republican’s are going to regret creating this legacy for him, and branding it so beautifully. In the years ahead, once out of the White House, I believe he will be deeply respected and admired for what he’s accomplished with health care.
I think it’s hilarious when they histrionically carry on about, ‘lefties thinking Obama is a messiah, blah, blah, blah’. The years ahead will be very difficult for them, I believe. I can’t wait to hear what they’ll say then!
So, they only booed what he said the first time and all subsequent booing was purely random? :dubious:
CMC fnord!
