Here is the definition of Gaffe from
Hyper Dictionary
Definition: [n] a socially awkward or tactless act
Synonyms: faux pas, gaucherie, slip,
solecism
Man, everytime Dean says anything everyone jumps to label it this horrible word 'Gaffe' that frankly I think few truly understand.
Since when is talking about religeon 'faux pas'? Since when is talking about homosexuality, and standing up for the rights of our homosexual brothers and sisters a 'slip' or a 'tactless act'?
If you honestly believe that, you should consider the Republican Party. I hear their tent is just small enough minded to include you.
So next time, Dean tells the public how he truly feels, or trys to raise the level of discourse in the Country, maybe you could say, 'I do not agree with Governor Dean's position because...' rather than claiming that what he says is 'faux pas.'
