Relevant? Toilet-Mouth, Gutter-Minded Tweets from King Son.

Kids are a reflection of their upbringing, especially when they are still dependents of their folks. For example, every time you see a kid get their Eagle Scout honors, don't you find yourself thinking "He must have a great family!"?
In the same way, coddled adult children who feel completely entitled are particularly annoying - and they get that from overindulgent parents who raised the spoiled brats!
Last week, it was Pingree's daughter, who applied for and "won" an Arts Grant of $13,000 from Maine taxpayers! (For reference, it costs more than that to run $ussman's jet for an hour!)
NOW it's Angus King's "adult" son, arrogant enough to think his Tweets would never be seen. (Though his Dad was instrumental in making them disappear quickly.)
The kid spent a couple of years aboard the Motor Home with his old man... is that where he picked up this delightful attitude?
Is this relevant to the Senate campaign? Well, if this kid was in the Navy, or volunteering to build houses in Haiti... we'd hear about him all the time!!!
Read All About It:
I repeat:
If the kid was in the ARMY or NAVY, he'd be used as a campaign prop - and considered relevant. Why the one-way street here?
See: Al Gore, Jr... who spent a brief amount of time in Vietnam (with a bodyguard!) so he could wear his uniform and go out campaigning with his dad.
If the kid was in the Army or the Navy, he or she would be a campaign prop ONLY if he or she agreed to do so.
If Angus's kid has an active role in the campaign, as a staffer or adviser, then the tweets are potentially relevant, only to the extent of showing that the candidate has a potty-mouthed kid working for him. And in that the potty-mouthed kid is NOT the candidate, it'd be a pretty low-level scandal even if he was.
I have seen nothing to suggest that the kid has a role in the campaign, and unless you can provide evidence otherwise, it is COMPLETELY irrelevant. Find another way to gore Mr. King's ox. God knows that his spending habits and coziness with certain industries provide plenty of material.
Just another little piece in the puzzle that is Angus King. Everything that reflects on him is relevant and part of his 'resume.' It's only a question of HOW relevant.
Again, another brush stroke in the portrait, if not a central one. I would like to know why his last name is not King, or Herman-King.
Not relevant.
Generally, my kids will not use offensive language in my presence, but it does slip out once and a while, so I assume they use it. I figure if I set the example, they grow into it. Parents don't have absolute control over how their kids turn out.
Foul language may be one thing, his war on women is something else. Maybe Angus is leading by example, the kid had to learn it somewhere.
I like Gagnon's work, and agree with him on this topic (though I think he was way overlong on this one).
... (though I think he was way overlong on this one).
My thought exactly.
I agree that was too long but agree with point.
I see some connectivity as one of the commenters made the point of whose of who is subsidizing his education.
I would be more specific and ask who bought beer/keg refrig. w/ dispenser?
Followup question is Benny over 21?
For anyone who hasn't seen the visuals on the Tweets in question, here's a link.

Most of them are not family-friendly, or suitable for children, so I will not post them on AMG.
I guess I am old fashioned. I know that I am old. I raised two boys and one of them was in the navy 5 years but I never heard them use such four letter words or talk about women that way. I never used the F word as it to me is indicative of trash mouth talk. It still jars me to hear it used so frequently by those who apparently have have so little command of the English language. I was brought up in a family where my dad did a lot of swearing but I never heard that word, not once. My opinion of Angus and Mary Herman just went down a 100 notches.
What Gaffer said!
Take a trip to Democrat Underground and see for yourself. The "F-bomb" is pretty popular among those folks. The day after Ryan-Biden there was a very irreverant poster of Biden with that word on it, and many posters freely used it to describe things.
I call this the "language of ignorance" used by people so poorly educated that they know no other way to express those feelings, nor do they care any at all about what the rest of us might think!
Rush had a piece on his Friday show in which he stated that this is the "Democrat Party" today and why it is impossible to use reason and logic to argue with them........as they do not understand reason and logic, only emotional stuff such as cussing out whomever you disagree with, or sit there like the Joker from Batman, with a silly grimace on your face, while the person you are debating talks about the seriousness of a nuclear Iran!
This is a battle for the soul of America and, to my way of thinking, there is no compromise possible on any of this! They want the government to run everything........and I don't! Before I cede authority over myself, and my family, to the UN, I will go down fighting for what I believe in.
Simple choice.

Here's the easy answer to "Should This be Publicized?"
If the Tweets had come from the son of Governor LePage, or another prominent Maine Republican, does anyone believe the Democrats would not be lighting bonfires and holding parties?
Like it or not, when someone runs for one of America's highest elected positions, their families become part of the election scenario. Look at Sarah Palin, if anyone needs further proof of this hypothesis.
If the obnoxious, disgusting Tweets from King's son had come from a child of Charlie Summers,or Paul LePage, the Left would be falling all over each other in their haste to push the "Post on Facebook" button.
Democrats will spin ANYTHING into either not mattering, or being a strength for them.
If Biden turns out to have early dementia, they'll say it's about time the feeble-minded had a place in the upper echelon of our nation's leadership. Diversity and all that, right? We have 'special education;' why not 'special governing?'
Relevant ? No. The Bushes had two daughters that had a drinking problem. Remember?
I knew it ,it was Bushs' fault!!!!!!!!!!

Amusing, yes. Relevant, no.
Can you think of nothing you said or did at that age that would have mortified your parents? Only difference is that nowadays, we have the tools to broadcast that to the world.
