		<description>#11, Really? I think I defended it pretty well.

You&#039;re free to go away any time, but if you leave over this, you&#039;ll have no credibility unless you promise not to see an R-Rated movie for the rest of your life.</description>

		<description>#9, if it makes you fell any better, that&#039;s as &quot;vulgar&quot; as you&#039;ll ever see around here. &quot;Usually&quot; also means that there are times when the word isn&#039;t &quot;vulgar.&quot; I maintain this is one of them. You may choose to disagree.

Interesting how 2-4 others didn&#039;t take any offense. Probably because the word is accurate and appropriate in context.</description>

		<description>My dictionary indicates that very definition is â€œusually vulgar,â€ and yours does, too.  Why do you suppose only a man can be one?  

Clean up your act.</description>

		<description>#7 - Really? Which word in the entry is vulgar?

The entry itself refers to someone else who used the same visceral, not vulgar, headline.

Did you read this entry before commenting?

Also look &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sdmoderate.com/2008/06/17/be-careful-who-you-quote/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computer-juice.com/forums/f56/news-blog-community-launches-f-u-ap-campaign-response-ap-dmca-takedowns-17978/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://teknews.net/details.php?id=98056&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.writeslikeshetalks.com/2008/06/13/ap-sends-drudge-retort-cease-desist-jeff-jarvis-says-fu-ap/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://thedemocraticdaily.com/2008/06/14/fu-ap/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Oh, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?as_q=&amp;num=10&amp;hl=en&amp;ctz=240&amp;c2coff=1&amp;as_oq=&amp;as_eq=&amp;as_qdr=a&amp;as_drrb=b&amp;as_mind=8&amp;as_minm=6&amp;as_miny=2008&amp;as_maxd=18&amp;as_maxm=6&amp;as_maxy=2008&amp;lr=&amp;safe=active&amp;q=%22fu+ap%22&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;sa=N&amp;start=10&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (over 60 results).

You were saying....?

If &quot;arrogant pricks&quot; is what you refer to, I see that the dictionary considers &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prick&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;prick&lt;/a&gt;&quot; to be &quot;usually vulgar.&quot; I am so (not) chastened. The sense of the entry is plural of &quot;a spiteful or contemptible man often having some authority.&quot; Hardly vulgar.

I don&#039;t take well to bullying by an arrogant near-monopoly that wants to rewrite two centuries of constitutional law just because they have deep pockets.

I also don&#039;t take well to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ohio.com/news/break_news/10886201.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;being blamed for this&lt;/a&gt; by people who didn&#039;t do their jobs and investigate someone who should have been -- and then, when the person is caught, allows him to blame others and use his wife as a rhetorical human shield, when what HE said and did is what was at issue.

I think the contempt is fully justified.</description>

		<description>Iâ€™ve read bloggers on the left and right roundly condemning the APâ€™s threatened lawsuit, but youâ€™re the only one Iâ€™ve seen resorting to vulgarity.  What has gotten into you?</description>

		<description>Tom - it&#039;s good of you to note this because frankly it&#039;s just another effort of condescension by an entity that refused to get with the 21st century.  We know from research that reporters say they get many ideas about what to write from blogs.  This isn&#039;t going to be the way it is forever, but the more outlets like the AP cling to this logic, the harder the fall is going to be for them.</description>

		<description>#1, very good point, though the AP had a half-decent (not totally decent) argument in the photo case a while back.

I think AP is testing the waters in various ways to see how far they can push the limits. If Obama is elected, they&#039;ll push harder; count on it.</description>

		<description>Funny how when a lefty blog is attacked suddenly everyone is all bent out of shape; when a righty blog is shut down by the AP, not a peep.

I would say the arrogant left at the AP are no different than the arrogant left they are attacking.

It is fun to watch the left eat it&#039;s own.</description>
