I've seen Shiite used as a pun for "shit" a few times here on DKos recently, and its completely inappropriate. You know, deep shiite, shiite happens, etc.
That should stop. Aside from the overall pain, that Shiite Happens t-shirt was the most offensive moment of that horrid 5 minute news hour or whatever the hell faux news is doing now. Progressives shouldn't say that, just like progressives shouldn't express displeasure at something by calling it gay or retarded, or say they got jewed when they feel they've been cheated.
Sorry for the brevity, but I didn't really have anything special I wanted to diary today, and I thought this point warranted more than just a comment in an open thread.
