Yeah! Damn those Tea Partiers! Equality for all!!
Keep working on it, Humpy! Just another 65 pages to catch up to the other thread.
Bolding mine.
Wow, you were able to find an extreme remark by a Dem legislator within the past six months!
I agree, Clothahump, that was a pretty stupid comment.
I’m fairly liberal, and while I think you’ll find more racism in the Republican part than the Democratic party, I’m fairly sure that people wishing to lynch minorities would be an extremely small group.
I think he sees some of the Republican policy proposals as having a bias towards minorities (such as voter ID) and is exaggerating their motives far beyond what is realistic.
Irresponsible hyperbole from a Democratic congress person I’ve never heard of before.
That’s it. I’m voting for Palin!
He was specifically targeting the Teabaggers, likely because of the racist signs sometimes (often?) seen at those events.
I agree the comment was very stupid, or at least high hyperbole. I’d wager the people holding those racist signs would be satisfied with simply relegating blacks back to 2nd class citizens, and don’t necessarily wish them dead.
Ease up on Clothy, at least he is getting the hang of a “Stupid Idea” thread; he actually posted a link to something a liberal said.
Baby steps.
I’m waiting for his post about Gerald Ford saying that there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. Because, you know, Ford was no Tea Partier, and the comment is fairly recent, happening just 35 years ago.
Unless they have to be dead. For looking at white women.
Um, guys, Carson made the comment about the Tea Party wanting to see blacks “hanging on a tree” just last week. The comments he made in March were about “standing shoulder to shoulder against extremism”. I think the article is trying to say he’s a hypocrite for making the second statement after making the first - not really seeing it myself, as I think the second statement is a stand against extremism, i.e., the Tea Party. But, nevertheless, this is current news.
Yep. Very stupid comment.
Kudos, Clothahump! Politicians of all stripes say really stupid things to pander to one group or another, and I am entertained by both. It’s not your fault so many more Republicans say so many more stupid things than Democrats.
I am disappointed this didn’t go into my Stupid Democrat Idea of the Day thread, but it’s definitely appropriate.
Well, to prove that my Democratic leaning partisanship is not entirely blind. I’ll submit the following as a stupid Democratic idea for the day:
Obama schedules his joint session speech to coincide with the Republican debate. It was a blatantly partisan dick move that is unworthy of the Obama and the Democrats. and whoever suggested it should be called on it.
Proving that Democrats are not all dick-swinging assholes, It has been rescheduled.
I disagree with **Buck **and with Obama on this one. So, the speech was scheduled at the same time as the Republican debate. Tough shit. But oh, when Obama does it it’s a dick move; if Bush had done similar it would have been his leader-like willfulness shining through.
And for Obama to say, ‘Oh, gee, sorry Republicans, didn’t mean to step on your toes like that,’ is weak fucking tea. I think Obama should have been swinging his dick like a Louisville Slugger on this one.
The debate could have been reschedule to make room for the President’s speech too, you know.
Not a hundred percent sure about this, but I doubt that the President has any power to enforce his will. The President respectfully requests, the Speaker graciously accepts. In theory.
Nice work. If we don’t see you again beforehand, have a merry Christmas!
I had trouble even understanding why people gave a shit that they were scheduled at the same time. Then I realized
- people actually watch these things on TV
- they actually watch them when they air, and don’t time-shift with a DVR or watch on the internet.
