In A, I just called Todd Starnes a fuckface. In B, I did not call anyone a fuckface, nor did I say anything about whether it is okay or not to use the word! In C, I both used and mentioned the word fuckface!

Maybe, but have you thought that maybe-



Being serious though, tell her that wouldn't hold up if we took the word 'racist' and replaced it with 'murder' "Look, that guy killed 9 unarmed African American people in a church. I only smothered my children in their sleep, why're you being so bitchy about this!"

Someone else being worse does not excuse another of their crime.

Funny how mental health issues are only ever brought up when a white boy does something bad. And of course this is coming from the same people who are all too eager to defund anything related to public health services.

The name doesn't matter, Dylann Roof is a de facto lieberal spurred on by lieberal propaganda because conservatives would never shoot up a church.
The Council of Conservative Citizens had nothing to do with it, they didn't publish an article calling readers to shoot nine people at a Bible study at the Emanuel AME Church on June 17, 2015 did they??
Anyway I've known Earl Holt for 30 years and there's not a racist bone in his body, don't judge people you haven't met :smug:

One of the most :wtf: things I have read about Obama saying friend of the family

From Allen West's website

Why, as a white woman, I am deeply offended by Obama’s use of the n-word

quote:

I thought I was done working for the day, but I’m sorry. I cannot sit here and listen to the president say such horrible things about “my people.” And by “my people” I’m talking about the majority of white Americans who ARE NOT RACISTS.

Race relations in this nation appear to be at an all time low and we have a BLACK president. What am I missing here? And he was elected TWICE?

But Obama’s use of the word isn’t the problem to me. What IS the problem is his quote where he says “the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives…that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. We’re not cured of it.”

No, Mr. President it’s NOT part of our DNA and I’m really sick and tired of you and the merry band of race baiters telling me over and over again that my white skin means I can NEVER escape my inherent racism. It is no more part of my DNA than female is in Bruce Jenner’s or Rachel Dolezal’s is black.

Institutionalized racism is no longer part of our nation. That doesn’t mean racist people don’t exist – but they exist among EVERY ethnic group. And not only are there racists, but we have anti-Semites and anti-Christians and ageists and “fat-ists” — I could go on ad infinitum.

But I am deeply offended by the assumption that I must carry vestiges of racism because I am white – and of course because I am a conservative. Even though of course MY boss (Col. Allen West) is black – but he doesn’t count.

I am at a loss. What more can we white folk do? When will WE be freed of those racist chains? What more must we do to absolve ourselves of the sins of the fathers?

I don’t really know what white people can do as a whole to prove they no longer carry the bigot gene. But I do know we cannot move forward if the man who holds the very highest office in the land keeps dragging us back.

Nothing. The right is going to trump them up as The Great Enemy until they need a new bogeyman/it's more convenient to be friends with them. Look at how the right has treated Russia and how that changed. They were The Great Enemy until the USSR fell apart but now they can't help but talk about how badass and awesome Putin is and why can't we be more like those Russians?

Soon as Russia quit being a convenient Great Enemy they needed a new one and picked Islam.

Oh my god they're doing it, the conservative rhetoric's role in the shooting is so damning to them that they're actually bringing the "slavers were Democrats!" fallacies into the mainstream. Then by the time the idiots who buy it are corrected by Facebook friends/blog posts/whatever (since let's be honest, it's not like the media is going to come out and say "hey this is completely wrong and here's how and why the parties switched") even more time will have passed and there's less will to act. Which is exactly what they want.

The thing is, it's easy to say "oh just sever" when you're not the one actually in a committed relationship and living with said person. I do truly believe that she has a kind heart, just that she's been lead very very far astray because of an upbringing in a deeply religious, conservative household.

Yeah this is the kind of thing they're going to tear themselves apart over. I think it's more an indicator of how much internal turmoil there is in the party more than anything. Some of them realize that they need new blood or the party is going to literally die off. Meanwhile a bunch of old crazies are clinging to their guns, racism, classism, and hosed up religion and aren't letting go.

Granted this won't drive any of the crazies to be vote Democrat but you did make me wonder if some of them will just take their ball and go home or split the party in two. It kind of puts the party as a whole in a weird situation; some of them want to just keep going right but others understand what a bell curve is and see how much of a disaster that would be.
