It's now unlawful to insult people

I hate to think what would happen if some of those people read this forum!

I missed something. Where was it suggested it was unlawful or illegal?

An organization is fully within its rights to expect its employees to behave professionally. Suggesting that you're going to call a female professional driver a b i t c h on-air is not behaving professionally. He's lucky, actually. Some stations would have fired him. Witness what happened to the dude who used the word "chink" in reference to an American basketball player of Chinese descent.

The judge is saying "You know, I screwed up, and I shouldn't have insulted the President," and he's asking the next court up to take a look at his behavior, to see if he should be sanctioned. In other words, he's taking responsibility for screwing up. Pretty professional in my book.
 
Our judicial system runs mostly on the respect we grant it. The judiciary has to depend on the Administration to enforce its decisions, it has no force of its own.

Thus, our judges must at least appear to be neutral in all matters. Judge Richard F. Cebull has depicted himself as a boorish racist cad whose lack of good judgment and lack of personal integrity should disqualify him from the bench.

Ya know, not everyone that dislikes the Bamster is a racist.

Just sayin'

Except he didn't express dislike of the President with a political joke. He did it with what he now admits himself was a racist depiction. The telling part is that he didn't recognize it for what it was the first time he saw it and before he decided to send it on to his circle of friends and family.

It was only after the ensuing firestorm that he had the "Ah ha" moment.

But his behavior after the "Ah ha" moment is somewhat redemptive in my book. He sounds contrite, and he's asking an outside group (a superior court and judges) to take a look at him. That puts him miles ahead of most people who do something like this.

Yes, on that I can agree. I think every man harbors prejudices in their hearts, the key factor is how they deal with them. Perhaps now that he has recognized his own humanity he'll be a better man for it....
 
Would not be polite to say what I think about the ghetto scum. He and his parents rode the system all the way to the white house. Now I, you, our children, our grand children, and theirs will be paying for his mishandling, political swindling, give aways, and out right theivery. To call him anything--he is a class less "non-Rotarian" (as Newt describes scum) and so is his America hating wife. Now we will have to pay them both for the rest of their lives plus SS protectors. Guess I have shown enough contempt for the traitorous muzzie loving kenyan.
 
I heard about , I think it was a sports new reporter for one of the big sports rags that used the phrase "Chink in the armor" is reference to the new Chinese_American basketball sensation and was fired for the "racial slur".

Couldn't believe it when I heard it. Now, a centuries old saying is somehow racist when used with reference to a basketball player? Political correctness run amuck!

Chink (also chinki, chinky, chinkie) is an English slang term referring mainly to a person of Chinese ethnicity but sometimes generalized to refer to any person of East Asian descent. Contemporary usage of the word as an ethnic slur has sparked controversies in the media for many years and many people consider the term an insult.

Chink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's almost always been an insult, just as nigger or kike is. Using it to describe an American of Chinese descent is hardly a good move by a professional reporter.
