"I don’t know about you. But I find opening a conversation by calling somebody a SOB generally fails to establish common ground for problem solving."

There are 2 problems with this leftist attack..1)  So all of a sudden the left is against calling people names?  "SOB" is a whole lot nicer than being called a racist/nazi/woman hater, etc.  Sucks when someone accuses you of being something you are not..doesn't it?  Pot, I'd like to introduce you to kettle.  Now step into my office...YOU ARE FIRED!
2)  When you disrespect the American flag, you are spitting in the face of many proud Americans.  So tell me, how is "opening a conversation" by spitting in somebody's face going to "establish common ground."  For a bunch of supposedly college educated men, there are a lot of NFL players who haven't the slightest idea of how to communicate with people.
Saying "no offense" before you offend people does not alleviate you of being offensive.
