Anyone catch some Sean Hannity today? I have Sirius in my mom's car, and he had Allen West on to discuss the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin case. It's really really amusing to me how West and Hannity can simultaneously yell about the African-American community failing to have upward social mobility while arguing to cut education and welfare. I just don't understand how you can reach that level of cognitive dissonance. Weirdly enough though, Allen West almost managed to come across as saner than Hannity throughout the whole conversation.

I normally find myself catching quite a bit of Hannity since he's on during my (fortunately short) commute, but I've spared myself a lot of grief and headache lately by switching from my car to my motorcycle. Especially this past week. Just didn't want to listen to his poo poo.

Other than that he didn't sound like Master Shake to me too much, but that line is spot on.

Cognitive Dissonance is a term that a lot of people have been using incorrectly in D&D for years now. Compartmentalization is definitely the better term.

Well you see, when you have a black president roughly half of the country goes absolutely insane and must work constantly to hide that fact since we don't have split-race drinking fountains anymore. It bubbles to the surface in some odd ways. \/\/\/EDIT\/\/\/ LET THE MADNESS BEGIN

Expect things to go completely off the rails with overt racism in the next few days. If you guys hadn't heard, Obama got asked a question about Trayvon Martin and had a little impromptu discussion about racial relations that didn't boil down to "blacks need to bootstrap" and platitudes for white people, and apparently conservatives are frothing at the mouth and screaming about the coming race war.

Over the past week or so Levin has been going on about how the states can, without congress, introduce and vote on amendments to the constitution but I haven't yet heard him say what he wants in this amendment. I only get to listen for about 15 min a day so I'm probably just missing that part, or do you have to buy his book to find out? He also keeps stressing that the states doing this is in the realm of possibility although I don't see how it could ever happen.

The book comes out in 2 or 3 weeks and apparently is about 11 liberty amendments that could save the US. The content hasn't been leaked yet but I'll repost them here when they do if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Regarding whether or not it would be possible now, it's very unlikely. Levin hand waves this by saying liberals have been working hard undermining the constitution for 100 years and conservatives need to make a similar commitment (but pro constitution)

In fact it was immediately after the last election, during one of those massive "Republican tears" threads, when a lot of posters here were streaming Levin's show to enjoy his rabid despair, that people realized how alike they sounded -- but as you can imagine, at that time he was operating at maximum decibels in perpetuity, so there was much more Shake to be enjoyed. It's often uncanny. (I can't, however, answer Chernobyl's question about amendments, as I haven't listened to Levin since that election day mayhem. When conservatives talk about states' rights, though, you can probably eventually find a racial component. It's their way of saying: minorities can get their own states.) Also, to whoever mentioned Hannity and Allen West, yes, the presence of African Americans on Hannity's show has shot up dramatically in the last few days. And they all seem to hate the African Americans on MSNBC. I'm trying not to imagine the thought processes of the people booking Fox News panels. And finally, yes, as Magres said, Fox News is already in headsploding mode, thanks to that brief talk on race relations from Obama (which made me somewhat  for the first time this week). They're really pushing this magical FBI non-racist ablution given to Zimmerman, as though an "investigation" through friends, family, and co-workers can establish the man's mindset during the confrontation (actually the 911 calls established that mindset just fine).oh, edit: BiggerBoat posted:"Coming up next, Oliver North to describe new findings in the Banghazi scandal, G. Gordon Liddy will weigh in on ethics in government and Geraldo Rivera will tell us what's wrong with modern Journalism. Also, Mark Fuhrman will be joining us to talk about racism and justice.

It was quite poignant too. He mentioned that when he looks at his daughters and their friends and how they interact, they're better than his generation. Every generation is getting better about this stuff, even if it's slow or sometimes "one step forwards, two steps back."
