re: #205 Targetpractice

No offense, but it seems that most folks are getting on her for the use of a particular naughty word. They’re totally cool with the thought she expressed, but they’re arguing if she hadn’t used that particular word, then the outrage would have been avoided entirely. The problem is that the cult doesn’t give a shit about the naughty word, they’re looking for anything critical of the White House and would have lumped Bee in with Maher and Olbermann if she had used “feckless” or “bitch” instead.

I understand what you’re saying but I also understand what the no ammo crowd is trying to say. Will the cult lie and make up an outrage out of thin air? Yes. Always yes. We can’t be held hostage by them and fears about how they will react.
But in this specific instance they had a hook, there was one and it was a loaded word (that was not sexist in use). Sam goes after them this hard on every show. It wasn’t just her going after Ivanka, they needed a dirty word after Roseanne made them feel like uber victims who were being silenced. The timing means a lot. But no, I don’t think anyone would have given a damn about that segment without the fire words.
