> [@Kolga](#): > > The words “politically correct” have come to mean, apparently, acting like a mature human rather than a mouth-breathing 12-year-old. It’s “politically correct” rather than humane not to act like a bigot. The ONLY time I hear someone use the phrase, it’s when they want to warn their listeners that the speaker is about to engage in incredibly offensive behavior for which they do not want to be called out.

Assuming the report is true, which seems to be the case, I guess the most one can do is shake one’s head and wonder how people can be so oblivious of what it means to enter politics these days. Now, where was the link to the horse porn??? Actually, that was one of the first mpegs I got when I started using e-mail and the internet. It was, I must say, rather disturbing to witness. ---

Not going to endorse sending horse porn or racially insensitive material to people but I could really care less if that was all he did. I mean if the story was a hacker went into his private email and informed the press I might give him some slack. But he clearly has terrible judgment as he managed to send such material to people that were offended enough or had other motives to notify the press. That IMHO disqualifies him from ever getting my vote. I don’t vote for people with terrible judgment. I also wouldn’t vote for someone who makes racist statements but the only reason I know about his racist statements is his terrible judgment. If I’m going to send out horse porn to people it is certainly only people I have a lot trust in. Not someone who would conceivably forward it the the local paper saying hey look what I got from Boytyperanma. As a note I’ve never sent horse porn to anyone. If you send me horse porn I won’t tell anyone I promise. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Assuming the report is true, which seems to be the case, I guess the most one can do is shake one’s head and wonder how people can be so oblivious of what it means to enter politics these days. What kills me is…where have these people _been_? I mean, most of the Tea Partiers are fairly old, aren’t they? They’re in their 40s to 60s or so, right? It’s like all of them just woke up in 2008, looked around, and noticed that we have a political system of some kind. They don’t know what it is or how to operate in it, but by God they’re determined to muddle around in it now. And it can’t be all that difficult if the black guy can win, right? ---
