If it's okay to call Santorum ''frothy'', then is it okay to call Obama ''a socialist nigger''? Nope, neither of those is okay. I do not understand how it's okay to insult conservative politicians with very crude words but insulting liberal politicians like Obama is a big no.


How is frothy comparable to the N-word, or even that much of an insult? Also, how is it NSG fault that Santorum shares a last name with a word that describes a frothy mixture thus making his thread ripe for a punny title?

Some angsty socialist liberal came up with that name for Santorum as an insult; that's why. And I see no difference between nigger and frothy, both are extremely insulting words that shouldn't be used.

He doesn't "share" it, he pissed off a professional sexer and his audience so bad that they destroyed him by making his name into a neologism. Coincidentally, he did the same thing to his busybody aunt. "Pegging" anyone?


Savage did offer to take the site down if Frothy donated to a pro-gay cause. Right wing pride continues to entertain the world.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Right. Because Rick Santorum inspiring millions of people to specifically attack him by creating a word out of his last name for something icky is the same thing as a word which has come to be representative of the most shameful era in American history. Totally. Next time somebody calls me an asshole, I'll call him a filthy fucking nigger. Both are the same thing, right? :roll:

How is frothy extremely insulting comparable to the N-word again? Additionally, Rick Santorum is an insult to the Santorum neologism.

...oops, I gotta admit that I was wrong. I remembered that frothy was the word that the guy come up for ''the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.'' Frothy was obviously just a part of that. So while ''frothy'' isn't as insulting as ''santorum'', I still consider ''frothy'' quite bad since we all know why people started calling him that.

There is also:

frothy
[fraw-thee, froth-ee]   Origin froth·y [fraw-thee, froth-ee] Show IPA
adjective, froth·i·er, froth·i·est.
1. of, like, or having froth; foamy.
2. unsubstantial; trifling; shallow; empty.
*I am a master proofreader after I click Submit.
* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania
* Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver.
* I felt like Ayn Rand cornered me at a party, and three minutes in I found my first objection to what she was saying, but she kept talking without interruption for ten more days. - Max Barry talking about Atlas Shrugged

Yes, because he said that allowing homosexuals to marry would open the door to "man on dog sex." That's why.

It says something about Frothy's mindset and possible skeletons when the first thing he associates with homosexuality is "man on dog sex". Mitt and Obama might want to keep the family pet away from him.

Because, like Farn said Santorum is a hateful bigot that felt the need to go out and insult a whole group of individuals for the sole reason that didn't approve of getting arrested on account of whom they love.

Sure, I dislike Santorum's socially conservative policies too, they're retarded to be honest. But that doesn't justify insulting him. Besides, he has a sound foreign policy (supports santions and intervention in Syria and Iran) and economic policy (supports right to work).

Yeah, his crappy social conservative politics are not the only reason to insult him as we also have his idiotic foreign policy views and his dreadful economic stances.

When he apologizes to all the gay people he insulted, I will be happy to defend him against this particular insult. As for his policies, President Obama is already moving on sanctions against Iran. The Russians and the Cinese blocked sanctions against Syria, and unilateral ones would be ineffective. As for his economic policies, they are just the same crap plans as the House Republicans.

What's Finnish for "chickenhawk"? Can we just stick the words together, like the Germans do?

Syrian civilians are being shot to death by their military every day in the hundreds. Someone has to intervene. As for Iran, it's an oppressive militarist theocratic dictatorship that desperately needs liberation.

Sanctions aren't enough, we need a no-fly zone and aerial & material support for the Free Syrian Army. And you call Obamacare ''the same crap as the House Republicans''
