We need a “thumbs up” symbol.
Oh, bite me.
Her accomplishment has already been acknowledged - by the awarding of a fucking Olympic Gold Medal. I, for one, would prefer that our political candidates stick to shit that actually matters. And, given that the social media accounts of these candidates are run by staffers anyway, your call for an acknowledgement is basically a demand for a meaningless statement written by an intern. Way to focus on the big issues!
Dude, you must have really been pissed when Secretary Clinton tweeted out her congratulations to Ibtihaj Muhammad. How dare her not focus on the big issues!! You do understand what social media is, don’t you?
Switch to decaf.
Yes, i do understand what it is, and that’s precisely why your whining about the lack of a tweet is so fucking idiotic.
I don’t really give a fuck either way about the candidates’ social media announcements. I don’t follow any of them, precisely because they’re basically campaign ads run by staffers. But actually complaining about candidates failing to tweet their relatively meaningless support for an Olympic athlete is idiotic.
Also, in the context of America’s current debate over Islam—with Donald Trump’s well-advertised comments about immigration and the place of Muslims in American society—if you don’t understand why Clinton singled out Muhummad, then you’re probably just about stupid enough to be an actual Trump voter.
Motherfucking young cons site popped up with malware on my kindle. I love sites that try to deliver malware with their hateful rhetoric.
Hate filled site delivers hate filled software? Color me shocked.

You have a pretty low bar for what constitutes complaining and whining. I believe that I said that it would have been nice. You really should chill out.
And BTW, I voted for President Obama twice and will vote for Secretary Clinton in November.
For a country that’s sure to win multiple gold medals,why is the 1st gold medal a bigger deal than any other? It’s just a function of which sport happened to be scheduled for the first days of the games, isn’t it?
Well, it wasn’t just the first American gold medal, it was the first gold medal of the Rio Olympics. And yes, it is just a function of scheduling. Nonetheless, NBC made it big deal out of it but then they do have a lot of air to fill.
Conservatives aren’t making a big deal about it because it was the first medal. They’re making a big deal about it because it fits the narrative of crypto-Muslim gun-hating liberals.
DING-DING-DING-DING-DING-DING!!!
Correct answer!
Got a nickel says not one person in ten even knew there was an Olympic BB-gun competition.

How dare she have an opinion.
Republicans shit on Muslim women for talking and for not talking. I see your dastardly plan now: drive them out of the country with confusion. Or die trying.
By the way, WARNING! I clicked inadvertantly on a blank part of that webpage and some gambling shit opened in another page. Thanks, [del]Obama[/del] Young Cocksuckers! You could learn a thing or two about ethics, maybe from a nice Muslim family I know.
So does the pope, you gotta think, when his spirit is weakest.
Pokémon Go accused of racism.
The best line:
"The Urban Institute calls the disparity ‘redlining’, which is a term meaning a community that is cut off from essential services due to ethnic make up or race. "
Now Pokémon is an “essential service”?
By “the best line” you presumably mean “the only actual stupid liberal idea in the article”. The discrepancy between white and minority neighborhoods appears to be real, the article covers the consideration that this may be driven by where the bulk of the users are located, and the company is considering the problem. The suggestion of “redlining” is stupid, but the rest seems to be fairly straightforward.
(I also think Pokemon Go in general is stupid, but that’s a different point.)
Well said. Some people want there to be racism in everything; Without it, the Civil Rights movement cannot be reenacted in all its glory
