"Swearing doesn't make you sound hip or passionate. It makes you sound like you're trying too hard to sound hip and passionate as you're exploiting the deaths of shooting victims, whose bodies are still warm, for political purposes." *Desperate for Attention, Beto Drops 'F-Bombs' All Over the Place to Describe Shootings in Midland-Odessa
Maybe Beto is trying to sound "working class" . . . But let's face it, Beto doesn't look or sound "working class." He looks and sounds like a nerdy folk singer -- which is exactly what he was.Beto's toilet mouth
. . . "But one thing stands out that's getting even more tiresome than that: Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke's reflexive use of foul language in his public statements. Here is what he tweeted for all to see:"
We don't know how many have been killed. We don't know the motivation. But here's what we do know: This is fucked up.
. . . "Then he went on to spew the F-word on national television:
"Way to expose the kids, Beto.
Now, there's no need to be a prude about the use of the f-word on all occasions. Sometimes the use of the f-word as an intensifier is acceptable, within certain well-defined contexts.
"If a first-responder in an emergency, for example, or a military man in combat, or a firefighter fighting a monster wildfire, or an airline pilot in distress, uses that word, nobody considers that a problem. If a thug or a rabid leftist uses it, it's not good, but it's perfectly par for the course because it's expected. If a computer hacker uses it, O.K., because some of those people talk like that all the time (and Beto is a hacker whose f-bombs were nothing compared to his hacker record as a repulsive poet). If a writer for The Atlantic or some other high-quality literary organ uses the word, fine, so long it's within a carefully chosen context of words and their rhythms, precisely and sparingly used. Sometimes even a politican can use it, if the intensifier is the only word for to describe the situation or perhaps the word is heard in a private context, such as here, but once again, very sparingly and exceptionally.
"But here we have a guy who's on the national stage, presenting himself as presidential material, openly and publicly and copiously using that word, his mouth going like an overflowing toilet. . . ."
Beto is just a 4-letter word . . . "So Beto is down to using four-letter words to express his anger. Watch for Beto to drop another one at the debate. It's all that he has left in the tank!"
*Beto Campaign Exploits Mass Shooting By Selling Obscene T-Shirt
. . . "As PJMedia's managing editor Paula Bolyard noted, "Swearing doesn't make you sound hip or passionate. It makes you sound like you're trying too hard to sound hip and passionate as you're exploiting the deaths of shooting victims, whose bodies are still warm, for political purposes." Apparently Beto didn't get the message because his campaign is now selling shirts with "This is f**ked up" on them in response to the shooting." . . .
"The comment elicited applause and laughter [from Democrats], distasteful to say the least." . . . More here,

Democrats often attack Trump for not acting presidential enough, so it is curious that Beto is taking what could have simply been explained as a single passionate moment of anger and turning it into merchandising opportunity.Edgy Beto Now Selling F-Bomb T-Shirts, Fundraising Off of Shooting Victims
