Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?


What exactly is she trying to say about Obama's daughters exactly? That they're dressed inappropriately?

They look awfully normal to me...

It's the same filter that has them seeing Michelle Obama as a grossly obese blob.

I've got a problem with this. I don't agree with what the lady said and I think she deserves to be called out for saying it but what the gently caress does her childhood arrest have to do with anything? What the gently caress gave anyone the right to go off and dig up poo poo about her that happened years ago and write about it for the purpose of smearing her? I don't appreciate this kind of poo poo at all. But hey, welcome to the new reality of everything in your life being an open book for any shitlord to use as they want.

Because she's a prissy, judgemental moralizing church lady and obviously an Obama hater who got up on her platform as a public figure and said some really stupid, hurtful poo poo about a couple of good decent kids. Maybe digging up her past wasn't appropriate but I really don't give a poo poo given her knee-jerk hate and (newly revealed) hypocrisy. She deserves the humiliation if nothing else.

You realize this wasn't random, right? She was moralizing about the behavior of teenagers and making dumb proclamations from what she thought was her position of moral high ground as white religious person. It strikes me as relevant to point out that she fails her own standard when it is applied to her own life, and that, specifically as a religious person, she should be concerned about the 2x4 in her own eye before attempting to chase down motes in the eyes of teenagers who didn't loving do anything wrong.

Depending on what her employment was she might not have lost her job. It just turns out in this case, when your job is Communications Director, it is expected that you should be more skilled at not having your lovely opinions go viral.

This is probably true however, it just seems that the space between discovering this kind of info and its publication has narrowed dramatically, resulting in less of an opportunity to reflect on its true value as news or even the morality of publishing it. From a journalism standpoint, that info has zero value as news in my opinion. There's no difference between the story of "young white female racist says dumb thing" and "young white female racist with a juvenile arrest says dumb thing". Morally, why gently caress with someone's life that way; nobody deserves that. She didn't say anything that did permanent harm to Obama's kids. Publishing her arrest record as a juvie will follow her forever. Nobody loving deserves that.

edit: I don't agree with you ErIog. Publishing her arrest record went too far in response to her stupid Facebook post.

Do you believe she's in some kind of risk for permanent harm herself? Like do you legitimately believe a woman in her position is going to be denied a job because of her juvie record? Do you believe there's literally any harm at risk of happening here?

She lost her job because her literal entire role in the office was communications and she said something so stupid it made people go 'look at this idiot who works for an actual lawmaker', it had nothing to do with her juvie record.

Like, if I handle food and poo poo my pants in work and they go 'man you can't work here if you're gonna poo poo your pants all the time' and fire me, then later a buddy goes 'hah it's funny he was making fun of pants shitters before' that has nothing to with me being fired, it's just a funny thing showing what an idiot I am.

I think people aren't fully grasping one of the vital functions of right wing think tanks. Ever since the Republicans embraced the Southern Strategy, they've have numerous positions designed specifically to hold people who overstep their language or make some other mistake (like committing warcrimes). They work there for a few years, publish some papers and get a reputation as an "intellectual". Then they go back right where they were, older and wiser. People usually don't pay too much attention to staff so generally it isn't a big deal. If that doesn't work, either have them do a quick apology and say that they have changed or fire them and the hiring manager that "let them slip through". Have an unrelated colleague hire the hiring manager and find a cushy lobbying/industry job for the controversial person. Granted, there are pay cuts associated with gently caress-ups like that, but why shouldn't there be?
