Similar images run through my Facebook feed on occasion, it's pretty annoying because it's all just echo chamber bullshit. It's not like anyone already a liberal/democrat/progressive is going to look at a picture like that and say "look at those crones I better vote Republican from now on!" It's also always the standard Fox news tactic of glamour shot of Sarah Palin vs. Hillary Clinton taking a bite out of a cheeseburger. I guess conservatives have to sit around and talk about how ugly those filthy liberated women are.

You know, even if it's Sarah Palin, you could stop judging her for the way she looks when she's not in a professional situation... Just a suggestion? Personally, I just hope I'll be able to maintain a good figure as well as she does at that age.

Hey guys, The Wall Street Journal would like to remind you that there's no such thing as a war on women.Michael Taranto posted:Winerip notes that between 2005 and 2010, "more than 60 percent of claims involving sexual violence handled by United Educators"--an insurance company owned by member schools--"involved young women who were so drunk they had no clear memory of the assault." We know from Sgt. Cournoyer that the accused young men typically are drinking to excess, too. What is called the problem of "sexual assault" on campus is in large part a problem of reckless alcohol consumption, by men and women alike. (Based on our reporting, the same is true in the military, at least in the enlisted and company-grade officer ranks.)

It's almost comedic how many hoops conservatives will jump through to grant women the equal right to be raped but paying them the same amount of money for working the same job as a man is just too much. Priorities.

Intel&Sebastian posted:Yeah but that's understandable. There's a lot of messages and explicit imagery that are antithetical to a RW mindset in Wall-E. The message of the LEGO movie is pretty much "Feel free to be creative in your own stupid way" and the imagery is so removed from reality that it's a stretch to say it has a message in itself other than "you can do goddamn anything with LEGOs". They'll bend and twist anything into an attack if they can find a way to do it (War on Christmas, Christian persecution, liberal media, Muppet movie, voter registration, contraception in the ACA) which is all well and good but always strikes me as odd coming from the party with the mindset of rugged individualism and never blaming others for your problems and shortcomings. Still waiting for the them to spin the Michael Sam thing in a bad light but I haven't heard much about it. Spacedad posted:This also flies in the face of a lot of bullshit you often hear from right wingers praising the 'common sense' of rural people and the like. While the pragmatism of the country survival might have been true at one time, these days it's city life where the strongest sense of pragmatic reality exists. Country life has increasingly become a bastion of delusion and disconnection from reality. See also: changing the name of The Washington Redskins, which I'm all for, even though it's not real high up on the list of poo poo That Bothers Me and Affects My Life, but hat's wrong with Washington Warriors or something? Whatever, but their argument is "it's a tradition!!!" So what? A lot of things used to be traditions that have faded away as we've learned and grown. If they do cave in and change the name, expect a plethora of Washington REDSKINS!!!! FREEDOM!!!! bumper stickers and poo poo to appear everywhere, much like the Duck Dynasty nonsense. I hope it happens because I find it helpful to be able to identify assholes and bigots so easily. Saves me a lot of time. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Feb 11, 2014 |

The real fight against changing the name is that the team is one of the most lucrative in the NFL and the brand is a big part of that. Dan Snyder doesn't give a poo poo about tradition or whatever but it's a nice line to use since he doesn't want to lose money if whatever team that replaces the Redskins isn't as marketable. It's funny since you'd think the dude who complained a political cartoon where he was drawn as a devil was anti-Semitic would be a little more sensitive to racial iconography.

Imagine if he wasn't an obstinate dick when this first started gathering steam, he could've aped Seattle and came up with a non-offensive NA reference name and imagery, had Nike re-do their jerseys too and be sitting on a pile of cash and a lot less terrible PR.

The value of the team is not the name, its the location and the fact that its in the NFC East aka The Unavoidable Division*. If Snyder had switched the name in a tasteful manner nobody would have known or cared because after the first week every American who watched football would have had the name change driven into their skull and been exhorted to buy new commemorative poo poo. *Prime Time Every Time

Wouldn't a more apt analogy be a drunk driver colliding with a drunk person walking along the road rather than two drunk drivers colliding. Only in the first case society blames the drunk walker for being too drunk to jump out of the way of the car.

Darkman Fanpage posted:Ashley Herzog also doesn't have a Wikipedia page. That's not really a surprise. She's a local from my hometown who started to get traction on townhall.com and some other things like that after college. I went to school with one of her younger sisters, and they're very stereotypical white suburban republicans. It's the epitome of cherry picking because straight up I wouldn't know who the hell she was if I didn't know who the family was, meaning pretty much no national audience knows her. Weirdly, she backed Hilary in 2008, which I guarantee whoever wrote that didn't know. Also, she wrote this. It's worth noting that her married name is Bristow, and her husband wrote this gem. If you skipped the second link you really shouldn't.

I'm trying to imagine my reaction if the premise of that weird book turned out to be true. Guy: Science has recently found out that some of the first settlers of North America were white people from Europe, but later waves of immigrants from Asia interbred with them or wiped them out wholesale. Me: Oh. OK. Neat, I guess.

I know bill maher doesn't get a lot of love in this thread. I listen to the podcast of his hbo show, the overtime segment is definitely the best part. Why in the world id SE Cupp treated as a serious person. Her "insights" are so profoundly dumb it hurts. If I remember correctly, she hosted a Twitter debate during the republican primary- I followed it- it was (un)surprisingly dumb as hell.

Sarah Cupp is ostensibly an atheist but spends a lot of airtime bemoaning American atheists and talking about how much netter Christians are. So that's part of the reason conservatives like her. Edit: Also when S. E. Cupp is said aloud it sounds like A C Cup which is amusing to people with juvenile senses of humour
