FemNazi…would you care to explain what about the Colbert tweet made you uncomfortable and unappreciative? Also, you do understand the tweet in question was from his show as a plug of the night before when he said the ‘offending’ part within the context of the point he was making. I may have missed any initial comments you made earlier.

And if you do not want to, I completely understand.

First, it was twitted out of context. Standing alone, I thought it sounded like something Rush would have said. Unfortunately knowing the context does not take away that “first impression”. A young person, such as Park, may not have the maturity to stop the “freak-out” factor.

Such tactics are what Rush thrives on. I understand that is not Colbert. He should have known better to have that tweet published as it was.

So, once I understood the context, I let it go. But the constant attacks on Park seem as tho those who are attacking her are saying she doesn’t have a right to her own reaction. Right or wrong, everyone has the right to their own emotions.

This is, of course, right at the heart of my own pet peeve issue.

Thus, I think I have to step back from this topic.
