Thread Name: BS: GA Sen Chambliss - Questionable Video Ad
Subject: RE: BS: GA Sen Chambliss - Questionable Video Ad
Oh, and BTW, (in case I didn't make it clear at the outset), what prompted my posting this thread in the first place and titling it as I did was that I was listening to the ad being discussed on several radio talk shows, in which people were DESCRIBING it as Chambliss grabbing his prepubescent daughter's boob (as though it would have been more appropriate if she were post-pubescent??).    So I checked out the video to see what all the fuss was about. And even before seeing it, I wondered how someone could fondle the "boob" of a fully pre-pubescent girl.    Upon seeing the ad, I found Chambliss's actions a little awkward and unusual and I was curious how others would interpret them.   I think the variety and range of reactions have been interesting in and of themselves.

But as to the idea of this thread topic or its original title being inappropriate, are we saying that a thread like "Obama is a socialist" amounts to Mudcat calling him a socialist (which, in the eyes of many opponents, amounts to calling him anti-American and a sympathizer with Soviet communism)?

A few other, well, "provocative" recent thread titles here:

BS: Obama-Fear is good for business
BS: Obama in the Gutter?
BS: Obama bin Laden???...
BS: McCain --- Liar or Ignorant???
BS: Sarah Palin to Pose Nude for Playboy???.
BS: Bush nuking the environment as he leaves
BS: Bush & Democrats to legalize criminals
BS: Cheney Indicted: Arraignment Friday        
BS: Bush pardons self, Cheney        
BS: Death Penalty for Bush/Cheney        
BS: Cheney Assumes Presidency                
BS: Is Cheney a Big Fat Liar???...

Oh, well .......
