https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LBr-AXWoYw The Clevelander in this video made me proud. Such a loving Cleveland reaction. "Are you an IDIOT?" Go the gently caress back home to Alabama, we don't want people like you around here" Half expected him to start a HERE WE GO BROWNIES, HERE WE GO, WOOF WOOF" chant in the video.

Yeah, basically, like every, every part of me says "she cannot have meant to make that precise gesture" and then I go back and watch the video of her doing it and I just laugh.

Listen man, we just can't determine if the terrible white supremacist lady is a nazi or not. We just don't have all of the facts and it would be irresponsible to do so otherwise.

Limbaugh is Nicholson's Joker, Coulter is Hamill's Joker, Beck is Ledger's Joker, and now Milo is Leto's Joker. Still haven't found anyone who matches Romero's Joker yet. Maybe Hannity on account of the shrillness and camp, I dunno That insulting to the Joker. He's not a nazi, he's a criminal, an American criminal, but not a nazi or klansman.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Cruz and Christie are both interestingly craven slugs. Christie thought he could get power attaching to Trump. Cruz is playing the long con and playing on the assumption Trump will bomb. Whatever else Cruz is (and god, there's a lot of poo poo I'd love to call him,) he still got up on that stage in front of literally thousands of Trump supporters and told them to go gently caress themselves (metaphorically.) Even if he thought it would pay off for him in the end, I can't bring myself to call that craven. It takes guts to do something like that.

I said it as a joke, but I'm more and more convinced that she didn't actually intent to sieg heil, but couldn't help herself. Her arm went up to wave or whatever, and at that point muscle memory kicked in.

Yeah but he didn't do it because it's the right thing to do or even because he disagrees with them, he's just mad it's Trump's circlejerk congratulatory party, not his. So he's still a massive prick.

Same, it's insanely hilarious and I love it and I barely even want to debate it anymore. But Laura Ingrahams been on television a billion times and I think she has the self control to not throw an actual nazi salute on purpose, even though that's exactly what it ended up looking like. Benefit of the doubt says the seasoned pundit lady knows better than to loving lose the plot and Heil Hitler at Tang Mammon

He did it just enough to back down if it blew up in his face, or claim victory if it worked. If he wanted to be brave he would have gotten up there and trashed him explicitly and risked his political future on taking a stand. Instead he just mean-girled some passive aggressive poo poo.

I think they just have a disconnect between how they act in their day to day life and how they act when they know they're surrounded by "their own". They're like anime fans at a convention if you replaced cosplay and body pillows with Nazism.

Then this "Brother Dean" guy generally walks away sulking that he got beaten. That's generally how annoying idiots are treated in Cleveland.

They would certainly not be as blatant about it if not for being egged on by their fascist crowds, but they still have to believe in it to some degree just to be in such an environment and ignore such obviously horrible speech/behavior. They are the exact sort of people just itching to join the right dictator as his minions.

Also that it was okay for her to say friend of the family because black comedians say it all the time. This went on for ten minutes. Am I thinking of the right person?

It's entirely possible he got up, charged the cop, got shot in the arm, and laid back down where he was.
