    I thought republicans opposed political correctness.

    If Fox News can get away with running ON AIR a Hitler march scene backdrop to a story about Obama.....or claim that Obama 'has a deep seated hatred of white people'......I don't see why some other media person can't say 'f..sticks' on their own personal social media account.

    I never heard those words in relation to a political debate before on TV however sign me up for watching if they actually do cause that debate would be kind of entertaining not for the words but seeing where it would lead.

    It's called double standards. The only culture deemed right today is the mindless libtard one. It's just what's fashionable right now.

    Because the media has different rules for liberals. But saying "you lie" to Obama is obviously a no-no.

    because adults arent afraid of adult language

    or nudity

    or all the real things that exist in the world in which we live

    EDIT

    of course one of the real puzzles of the western world is how afraid of swearing Yanks are

    how odd everyone else thinks, pedlars of sex and violence the world over BUT they must *beep* out every swear word and *block* every hint at nudity .. bizarre people
