Forgive me, but 'getting or giving a 'pass' has nothing whatsoever to do with either of your pseudo-definitions. Besides which, both examples in Barry1817's four short paras are correct, and used correctly. Please elucidate for those of us who are NOT grammar nazis that text you are criticizing?

I think that that mindless, bovine sensuality is endemic in most of the JAPs I've ever met. However, not all of them. There seem to be two basic types. The 'fun in bed' type, and the 'keep your filthy thoughts to yourself' type. I'm guessing that Whatsername -Schmutz is the former, hence @MrObstat's remark. Incidentally her twin sister, ideologically and in appearance, is running for the seat in the Congress representing a newly drawn district near Phoenix. She is running as a current member of the State Senate here in Arizona http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrsten_Sinema

I thought it was 'nozzings'.

Where I come from originally, in the Midwest, the correct expression of that principle is "I wouldn't p*ss in his ear if his brain was on fire."

So how did that diplomacy thing work out for European Jews after Kristallnacht and beyond?

From your lips to G-d's ear ...

I'm sure HermanBB knows many fine epithets and pejoratives made popular by rabid anti-semites over the decades. As a typically PC left liberal, he dare not use them as freely as Joe McCarthy and his colleagues did in the 1950s HUAC hearings.

I take it you are making this an 'either-or' question? I'd guess that the two viewpoints are parallel, if not actually congruent.

So what's wrong with allowing Tate equal time for rebuttal? Whatsername-Schmutz is the Obumbler's surrogate, Tate is Romney's surrogate. Let DWS 'expose' the congregation to the far left Liberal view, and then, equally, let Tate 'expose' them to a moderate Conservative view? You, sir, are a screeching little nincomp**p with, apparently, a sizable glob of ordure for brain matter.

Their historical record of voting blindly for Democrats, specifically Liberal Democrats. I'm not going to look up specific percentages, but any polling website has that tabular information.
