Stupid Republican idea of the day

She nailed it. Lots of actors think every accent south of St. Louis is Deep South Alabama and a bunch of “y’alls.”

Sometimes I watch early Billy Graham sermons, just to hear someone speaking so I can understand him. :smiley:
(And lance? On the off chance that you were even a little serious, mushmouth North Carolinian–“Norf”–is largely irrespective of race. It is, as drop points out, more closely tied to class. Trust me; I’m trash from a long history of trash.)
.

And my accent was Virginia Piedmont. Since we are recognizably better than everybody else, andros was not offended when I implied he was trash. He knows better than to question his betters. :smiley:

Aw, let him have his fun. He gets so few opportunities to feel like he scored a point.

It’s like when the special kid totally whiffs at the wiffle ball and everyone cheers and pretends he knocked it out of the park.

And now this.

Well, actually, this is more like when someone makes a joke about the special kid, and everyone laughs behind his back, and he laughs too but only because he doesn’t get the joke.

You understand that my comment was a joke, right?

Right?

And you understand who it was about, right?

Been covered already.

Tell me, do you think women are bad negotiators or is that just right-wing crap?

I dunno. Maybe it has something to do with their having to negotiate with men most times they have to negotiate.

That doesn’t answer my question.

But I will note that you assumed that men are usually those who hire and negotiate salary, which may not be reasonable, and then you presume that all men want to pay women less than other men, or that men are inherently better negotiators. A new can of worms. Why not just answer my question? Or if “I dunno” is your final answer, we’ll leave it at that.

Yes. The “joke” is “I’m calling something that’s totally innocent racist! Now I’m just like you guys! Hurrh durrh!”

Move over, Oscar Wilde.

No, that’s not the joke.

I’m sure you’ll get it if you keep thinking, really hard. At least now you know there was a joke in there though.

Thanks, but I think I’ll just slide back into not giving a fuck.

Sure. Pretend you don’t care. Good fallback position.

Oh, I doubt he’s pretending. He’s not that good an actor.
Kinda like how you’re not that good a comedian.

She looks like she’s got bird shit smeared on her head

She sounds like she’s got bird shit smeared inside her head.

Rush Limbaugh: “We already have women’s museums all over the country. They’re called malls. … Well, at least I didn’t say brothels.” http://www.salon.com/2014/03/20/rush_limbaugh_we_already_have_museums_for_women_—_“they_are_called_malls”/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

House to vote to forbid Presidents from designating any further National Monuments, Parks, etc. http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/03/20/3416916/house-no-more-national-parks/

I like this part more :

Everything else she’s spouting is garden variety, if virulently toxic, wingnuttery ; but this one’s right peculiar. Are there a bunch of 10/29 Truthers out there I hadn’t heard of, of is Atanus’ crazy sui generis ?

I don’t know if we should count Rush Limbaugh for the purposes of this thread.

Yes, he is a Republican. Yes, he’s stupid. But every single thing he says counts as something we can cite for this thread.

It reminds me of the “scummer of the week” segment on my local radio station. They had to throw out the child molesters because the child molesters won every single week.

Rush Limbaugh should be tossed out of consideration because he’s never once said anything resembling a rational thought.

Asshole of the Day has being doing a great job of sorting the wheat from the chaff lately.
PLUS, their logo looks like something out of a high-energy laser lab.
