Here's some dialogue from "Madagascar":
Julian: They're just a bunch of pansies. Maurice: I don't know. There's still something about that one with the crazy hairdo that I find suspicious. Julian: Nonsense, Maurice. Come on, everybody! Let's go and meet the pansies!
Should we all boycott Dreamworks now? Where's the outrage? Where was it then?

Hillary reminds me of the woman in the title role of Work Out on Bravo. Not at all the type I'd want for a neighbor.

Having people making an issue out of some supporter using the "p" word will not lose Hillary votes. This is a classic much ado about nothing to many.

Thin skin, that's all I can say. Why should the Clinton campaign have to comment about such a non-issue?

While you are making an issue of the word pansy Hillary is marching forward. She is going to appear on the O'Rielly show this evening. This is a new low for her. I will never forgive O'Rielly for saying the kidnapped boy from Missouri "liked it", remember that?
pansy c.1450, from M.Fr. pensée "a pansy," lit. "thought, remembrance," from fem. pp. of penser "to think," from L. pensare "consider," freq. of pendere "to weigh" (see pensive). So called because it was regarded as a symbol of thought or remembrance. Meaning "effeminate homosexual man" is first recorded 1929.
That is screwed up!
To think, is to be labeled as not masculine. I think I'd be insulted, if someone said that I hadn't any pansy like qualities. lol

RIght this is a non comment - Hillary is HOMOPHOBIC - I have never heard her mention gay rights or gay marriage in any of her GENERAL stump speeches across the country yet she goes to the Advocate and screeches about how she is so gay friendly and has done so much for Gays and Lesbians - she will throw GAYS in front of the bus to get the "working class" menopausal vote - just watch her in action.

Actually, the pansy is a tough little flower, delicate looking though it is, it will bloom all winter here in NC...even become ice coated, snow covered, and it will keep coming back. I've planted them in Oct. and had them survive until July of the next year.
Tough as nails. Unlike the pandering Clinton who's been known to whine and cry...

This is what the inexperienced and totally incompetent Rice is doing:
MSNBC reporting that the State Dept. is issuing "ultimatum" to Iran to stop "harassment" of US ships and could use "limited" strikes against Iran. Although another article cites Iran is being warned about supplying Iraqis with weapons, etc...which is it? What lies are being disseminated as we lounge here on the blog?
Yeah, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran...and annihiliate it?

I don't quote understand why the gay community would want to draw attention to the fact that pansy is a synonym for gay.
The sound-bite/Jay Leno version of this story will be "The pansies are upset!"
Is that really good for the gay community? It simply reinforces the negative stereotype that gay men ARE effeminate and easily get their feelings hurt.
"Whaaaaa -- she called me a pansy!"
Is that what you want?

(sigh) Dear Lord...please tell me this is a parody.
I thought this sort of stupidity had run its course with Greenwald and his objection to the use of the word "poofy" because of possible negative gay connotations.

Just like Mr. Obama, right?
At least her spokesperson didn't claim that we could all be un-panised if we just prayed hard enough.

The pansy or pansy violets are a large group of hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. Pansies are derived from Viola species Viola tricolor hybridized with other viola species, these hybrids are referred to as Viola × wittrockiana[1] or less commonly Viola tricolor hortensis. The name "pansy" also appears as part of the common name for other Viola species that are wildflowers in Europe. Some unrelated species, such as the Pansy Monkeyflower, also have "pansy" in their name.
This is better than a soap opera. You couldn't make up the shit that's going on in these campaigns. When does Obama's illegitamate love child show up? When will Hillary be caught on tape with her Lesbian lover? When will a million dollars in cash and 2 pounds of viagra be found in McCain's freezer? Enquiring minds want to know........
