And you honestly believe he didn’t know how racoon would come across?
How exactly do you think it comes across?
This reminds me of that time a hypersensitive black lady complained that a cop was being racistby eating a banana in front of her.
Regardless, Hank, the man was talking about exterminating the President of the United States like one would hunt down vermin. You ok with that?
Wait…what…??
Let me listen to it again…
Oh I see what you mean, because of the “exterminator” term.
That’s not how I read it, since as far as I am aware, if you call an exterminator to get a raccoon out of your basement she will set live traps and relocate the raccoon.
I was once asked to go into a tight crawl space with a 12 gauge to kill a large 30 lb raccoon that didn’t want to leave. There were many good reasons to decline that request.
So a single memorably funny sketch a month ago and then never mentioning it again is “trying to make Drumpf the next big thing”?
(He may have mentioned it in passing a time or two since, not 100% sure. But he certainly hasn’t been beating the drum. The people who took it and ran with it and made plug-ins and stuff are not John Oliver.)
And there are several different reasonable points to the original piece, all of which you seem to have missed entirely, if all you think it is is “haha, his family used to have a foreign sounding name, haha”.
That is what it has turned into–read some of the posts in this thread. The Oliver piece was okay, but the way I see “Drumpf” being used in the wild strikes me as idiotic.
That’s why I specifically referred to Oliver Drumpf and company.
Wouldn’t that be John Drumpf? Or are you changing his whole name for extra(lacking) LOLs?
No, Oliver mentions at the end of the show that you can download the Chrome text switch plugin from their website.
Well I am not the one who came up with his new moniker. It works better because there are far fewer famous people named Mr. Oliver than John, so it more obviously refers to him.
“Neutral” != “credible.”
But, you know very well that that is not what the intended audience hears. The intended audience does not even hear the first syllable in “raccoon,” and you know that too. Your astoundingly persistent denial of the very existence of dog-whistle messaging is entirely disingenuous and in no way credible. Give it up.
You are just making crap up now BG. You are the one with the selective hearing. Your desperation to make any and every last drop of everything into a racial issue is unbecoming, but understandable, since your whole world view rests on it’s exclusive claim as savior of the browns and blacks.
Can’t a nigga eat a slice of watermelon, or be the butt of a joke, without some privileged social justice warrior coming along and making it racial?
Hank, there’s space there for a couple of warnings.
But you’re getting one for the accusation of lying. “Making crap up” implies both falsehood and deliberate intent. Don’t do it again.
I am responding to Brain Gluttons 200th insinuation and accusation that I am lying, that I have let pass every other time.
What I am actually being given a warning for, like the other times, is having an unpopular opinion.
**Your astoundingly persistent denial of the very existence of dog-whistle messaging is entirely disingenuous **
Where the F is the warning for that???
The bias is so amazingly blatant.
The thing that I am “accusing him of making up” is** my own motives, that he describes as disingenuous, and my perceptions, that he claims I am being untruthful about.**
He is characterizing your denial, which is permitted. You insult him as a person. That’s over the line. Rules is rules.
No fucking way. “You’re making crap up” is in no way more personal than " Your astoundingly persistent denial of the very existence of dog-whistle messaging is entirely disingenuous and in no way credible."
Then report his posts for the same offense.
Well Jonathan and BrainGlutton are incredibly disingenuous.
Jonathan says he is really just trying to enforce the rules, but he is actually inteding to censor the conversation by applying different standards to people based on their political opinions.
It’s the very same patter that we see on the streets and discuss here, where Bernie Bros are excused for mass havoc and violence, while a few scuffles at Trump rallies are seen as signs of the end times.
And Brain Glutton is being disingenuous about his position being motivated by empathy for others, that’s obviously untrue.
