Life?

Sad, but true. I blame marriage.

I'm sure all the outraged men here would likewise be upset if the target was Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton was called a #######

The hypocrisy is bi-partisan

While it is true, Hypocrisy is a bi-paertisan activity, I personally am turned off by anyone who uses such slurs that goes doubly for cases (such as this where... to the best of my knowledge, Laura Ingram has no such slutty reputation or appearance.

I think this kinda low-class talk is his typical tone of conversation or he was off meds or high because there was nothing even provoking him.

Well I agree - I do not like her politics but I do not like the way that word was used.

Of course someone who objects to the term on behalf of his wife and mother but likes to take about throwing rocks at women or having them hit by the bus is not a gentleman. In fact it's completely lacking in charm and desirability. ####### is less offensive than joking about acts of violence.

Can't agree more. Context is key here -- it's one thing when women reappropriate the word in the ####### Walks, and quite another when it's used in this manner.

And yes, agreed with the second part of your post as well. Depressing, but true. I don't think the vileness of the bus comment has ever lessened over time.

Broadly speaking.... jokes are not to be mistaken for serious conversation.

so you get the vapors when Ed Schulz calls a right wing broad a ####### but you don't have a problem with "joking" about violence. Okay, I get it. Hypocrisy rules.

Isn't the definition of a joke something that is actually funny/humorous?

... But it's not hypocrisy.

It's only hypocrisy if you place humor and serious conversation on the same plane.

A cartoon of Joy Behar shooting Sarah palin is not the same as someone seriously suggesting she be shot.

I will take your non-answer as embarrassment. My Ukrainian wife and American Mother would be appalled if I referred to a woman as a #######.

I'm sure they are not embarrassed/appalled by rocks and buses. I'm sure they are cool with that.
