Stupid Republican idea of the day

Interesting camera angle. I think you can see the very back of Ms. Pence’s head in the mirror behind her father’s head. But I see that Gov. Pence failed to finish his plate. We could make up a conspiracy about that if you’d like. Maybe throw in fraudulent farm subsidies and kickbacks to Indiana grange societies or something…

There does seem to be a lot of red fluid spilled on the table in front of her.

Sometimes it boggles the mind how many people looked at something like this and just went “Eh, its ok”. There’s the guy who zoned all the areas by color, specifically including a “white” zone, the guy who printed up those signs with a big “White Elevator” on it, and the guy who’s hanging them up. Unless its the same guy, its hard to imagine 3 separate groups going “Yeah, this is the White Elevator, nothing wrong with that”

I’m a bit surprised. Even as I accept that Pubbies aren’t exactly on the clubbing edge of progress, I was pretty sure the Snopes would reveal a color coding like that lampooned in Airplane. I expected tonedeaf, not surprised there, but no explaination at all?

There’s something going on here!

So “white” is now the latest trigger word for the offenderati?

“Yellow elevator” is a very fun thing to say.

The yellow elevator is for peeing and un-peeing only…

Google “Jim Crow signs” and look at the images. Should become clear.

The latest from Sen. John “Yelling At Clouds” McCain; Nice is Obama’s fault.

Remember when McCain was considered the sound, reasonable, intelligent Republican?

…Yeah, I’m starting not to either.

So you saw “white elevator” and thought about black people, but someone who sees “white elevator” and thinks “a color code for a convention center” is the racist?

Turkey is (well, was - they’re “free” now) holding U.S. soldiers hostage on an airbase to force the U.S. to hand over an alleged coup supporter living here. And fo course Obama’s doing nothing about it (because there’s nothing to do anything about, duh).

We all live in a desegregated submarine, a desegregated submarine, a desegregated submarine.

[QUOTE=Sen. McCain]
McCain said that the U.S. had won the war in Iraq, but lamented that “the President decided to pull everybody out of Iraq.”
[/Quote]

“The President” who agreed to pull (most, ground) troops out of Iraq was Bush. :smack:

[QUOTE=Sen. McCain]
“This president has no strategy and no, in my view at least in the short term, ability or willingness to attack this evil,” the senator said.
[/QUOTE]
Umm, no willingness to send in conventional ground troops is not the same as no willingness to attack. Drone strikes and aerial bombing count as attacking in most people’s books. Do you think, Senator, that you weren’t attacking North Vietnam because you weren’t on the ground with a rifle in hand? :rolleyes:

[QUOTE=Sen. McCain]
his policies are directly responsible for ISIS and ISIS is responsible for these attacks
[/QUOTE]
Some homegrown nutball deciding to troll by using the ISIS brand for the attack he probably would’ve committed anyway doesn’t mean ISIS actually did anything in Orlando or Nice. “I read about them in Time magazine.” :wink:

Lance? Why did you bring this? Who the fuck is “Right Scoop”? I don’t know why you care, and totally don’t know why we should.

I’m sure he’s the same guy who was setting up the “Red Elevator” and “Blue Elevator” signs.

Red, White, and Blue Zones at a political convention. Is this really something to get excited about?

That’s right, because unlike you, I don’t automatically assume that racism in the past is dead and gone. It still exists, and even innocent things like this are a call back to it.

The question really is: if they had intended it to be racist, how would you know? You wouldn’t, of course, so its better to not even suggest it in the first place.

And you want what to happen, Obama kowtowing to a foreign power? I’m sure that the headline “Obama gives in to blackmail by Islamic Regime” has already been written and is just waiting for him to offer something in exchange for the soldiers.

Its tone deaf. Its about messaging. Its about how they look. The GOP is free to put any kind of signs up that say “Whites Only” and have it refer to delegate groups, but they don’t control the message that goes out.

Remember, kids, if 3000 people are killed in NYC, “Bush kept us safe.”

If 80 people are killed in France, “It’s Obama’s fault.”

Steve King (Iowa-R) again makes the foolish mistake of saying what he thinks:

Donald Trump reveals the game in an interview. Explaining why he wasn’t criticizing Pence for voting for Iraq, he says that

Scott Baio will sue your ass.

I think America should say “Challenge accepted.” Hey, Scott. In my personal opinion you suck donkey dick.
