I re-read the article again and it appears that Scalia did say ‘Vaffanculo' to go along with the gesture. I have no problem with the gesture, but saying 'go f*ck yourself in the ass' in front of a church is a problem. Lying about it later is also problem, but not unexpected. I think what is needed is a net petition to get Scalia extraordinarily rendition-ed to Syria where he can some time to rethink his behavior.
First Janet Jackson shows her nipple (kind of) for a millisecond during the Super Bowl... ...and now a Supreme Court justice scratches under his chin and tells his detractors to go f'themselves (maybe). Why, America, why have you deteriorated so....whyyyyyyyyyy Let us pray!
spoken like a true neo-con christian. not just profanity infront of churches or senate floors, but advocating torture, even of children, bombing of innocent civilian populations, which amounts to the deaths of tens of thousands of CHILDREN, calling for the murder of heads of state (pat robertson), claiming that judges deserve to be murdered for their judicial activism (john cornyn), pathological lying to americans on virtually every issue, cavorting with male prostitues who they plant as fake reporters in the white house press corps and are on record as having dozens of late night visits to the white house. i could go on, but you fake christian neo-cons make me sick.
you liberals are hilarious. You're such a hate-filled, angry group just waiting to erupt for whatever reason you want
Dandy Don reference... On MNF, A fan shot the finger and Meredith said something like, "He's just saying you're Number 1 Howard."
dammit, I agree. i rarely agree with scalia, but i don't think think this is a big deal at all, even if he did give someone an americanized finger. Considering the impacts of his opinions, him flicking someone off is the least of my concerns. I won't say this is only characteristic of the liberals, but also of the extreme righties like bigtexxx too. I'll just say that if Ruth bader Ginsberg did the same thing, would you care as much? bigtexxx would be on that boat asking for her to be disbarred, but I think anything more than a chuckle in either cases is the most it deserves.
Projection: Projection is one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud and still acknowledged today. According to Freud, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else.
Freud is also pretty much doubted my most Psych scholars. ... That is unless you want to have sex with your mother.
there is no difference between scalia flipping his hand under his chin and shooting the bird, different places all have ways of saying F off it's still the same meaning. people in kosovo say F off by holding there thumbs up like a hitchhiker.............. if they did that in a church it would still be morally rehensible.
Typical liberal overreaction to anything they think might damage a conservative. Liberals don't think - they scream and throw schit and hope something sticks. It's hilarious, to be quite honest with you.
Conservatives don't think. They bungle the response to the worst terrorist attack in American history, and then give tax breaks to those who don't need it. It's criminal, to be quite honest with you.
