The_Squid Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 At least Trudeau didn't cower and claim he called him a "pea shoot".... He apologized and took his lumps. Quote

TimG Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) At least Trudeau didn't cower and claim he called him a "pea shoot".... He apologized and took his lumps.Because Trudeau intended to be insulting. There is zero evidence that Lukiwski intended to say what is claimed. Why should he apologize for the disturbed fictions create by people who hate conservatives? Edited November 20, 2015 by TimG Quote
Icebound Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 I heard about this statement of Lukiwski's but had not seen the video until today. I would have been very happy to pile on yet another bigoted conservative, but it is a very big stretch that he would be saying "whore".in that context, and in that tone of voice. "Horde" has my vote.

Why is "horde" OK? It implies they are rabid savages, a mindless army raping and pillaging as they expand as opposed to an individual who is sexually liberal. Quote

The definition is a large group. You're inserting your bias to your assessment of the quote. Edited November 21, 2015 by Boges Quote

For whatever arbitrary reasons some words in the English language are emotionally loaded than others. 'horde', like many other war related analogies used in elections, is a neutral phrase even if the history of the word suggests violence. Quote
