Vitriol is defined as:
“Bitterly abusive feeling or expression, language expressing bitterness and hatred.”
Synonyms: insult, revilement, invective, vilification, or abuse
Quotable:
“Abuse a man unjustly, and you will make friends for him..”
Edgar Watson Howe
Can you use it in a sentence?
The frequent vitriol displayed by many liberals must indicate a basic insecurity in their beliefs, intelligence, policies, and positions.
Can you give me an example?
Update May 12, 2009 – In what is now my quickest update, The Donald decreed that Miss Prejean’s photographs were “acceptable” and that she may keep her Miss California crown. As I searched for news reports on today’s events, I was struck by this blurb:
“Donald Trump will announce whether he will let gay-bashing, born-again beauty Carrie Prejean keep her crown.”
The MSM and the vitriolic left just cannot let it go. I’ll finish this short update using Mr. Trump’s words:
“Carrie is totally beautiful, and her answer, because of that, took on greater importance. Unfortunately, that’s the way the press works. You should be ashamed of yourselves.”
The Miss USA Pageant is not high on the list of anyone’s must see television. It seems like a kind of antiquated show from the past. Many probably did not know that it was even still on the air. My only real memory of the contest was when long-time host Bert Parks sang the theme song as that year’s winner took her victory lap. Actually thanks to Glenn Beck this morning, I learned that there is actually a Miss America Pageant (that’s the one Bert Parks hosted) and Miss USA Pageant (Trump’s version).
