If it weren't for this thread I would have no idea who Steve Crowder is, I'm convinced his YouTube views are just hate watchers from here. His claim to fame is getting punched by a union On weekend right wing radio I heard a host actually claim enjoying a parade on TV is a "right", a right that was being infringed upon possibly by Ferguson protesters. Obviously nothing happened but it could've happened, and I have the right to enjoy my Garfield float dammit!

Looks like according to commenters on his video, the abortion statistic he uses Crowder has the source from a site called LifeSiteNews and on politifact they said that the statistics comes from only localized sources with problematic definitions. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/feb/27/rick-santorum/rick-santorum-says-90-percent-down-syndrome-childr/ Obviously this is same guy who flips out about statistics from feminists about pay discrepancies

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Steve Crowder's newest video Okay I'm glad that Crowder volunteers. More people should do that. But this video is loving ridiculous. Notwithstanding the dubious statistics, please consider this Steven. While you may enjoy being with them for a couple of hours, it could be different if you realized that you would have to deal with a person with down's syndrome all the time and that that you may have to financially support that child for the rest of your life. I'm not advocating aborting down's syndrome people on principal as a eugenics measure but I can sure as hell understand people contemplating the practical difficulties of raising a child with down's syndrome and choosing an abortion. Maybe better social programs would lead to less down syndrome abortions but you can god drat guarantee that Crowder would be against them.

It's bizarre because I've never heard someone on the radio say something that blunt and outright racist. That's literally something that Neo Nazi's believe in, and really..ONLY NEO NAZI'S.

Here's the thing about hand-wringing over Lauten's comments about the Obama girls: This wasn't some thoughtless quip over cocktails at the country club or an open mic picking up something she thought she was muttering to an aide. She knew exactly what point she wanted to make, typed it up (presumably editing and rephrasing along the way), took one last look at it, said "Yes, this is something I want to share with the world" and published it online while knowing that she herself had a shoplifting incident as a teenager. I am fine with how this has played out for her.

Hodgepodge posted:It's going to make for one hell of a thesis on early 21st Century American history someday. "We call it the first culutral significant wave of the Internet generation's obsession with non-typical media for their age group. While you find articles and posts by "alleged" woman the vast majority are physically unattractive and/or overweight males who have anthropomorphized girl's cartoon characters and freely admitted to it, unlike the days when similar hobbies/fetishes were much more niche and not well known in large commonly referred to as the BBS-Furry era. For the sake of brevity, this group will be referred to specifically as the Unapologetic-Horsefuckers, taking into account that there are very few outliers where there is no reference to sex or sexual constructs in this group despite the most often found mention of their hobby being 'about friendship and what it can accomplish'"

"Note that though they are the successors of the similarly-disparaged 'trekies,' this group abandoned the attachment to a futuristic utopia of human achievement and instead focussed their obsession on pure Freudian projection. Although this thesis will focus on the role of the internet in facilitating this transition to pure expression of sexual alterity, it should be noted that My Little Pony lacks an outlet such as the smouldering sexual tension between William Shatner's Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock."

I thought it was obvious that the conservatives want a race war. Then, they could justify treating blacks like the Israelis do Palestinians - "We aren't racist, we just have to keep them behind a wall for national security".

"Race War" comes from the same political impulse as "Sanctity of Marriage," "War on Christmas," etc. In the late 19th century majority German areas in Austria-Hungary were blowing up with German nationalists claiming that the poor, wealthy, educated, privileged Germans were being victimized by all the other nations in the Habsburg empire. The point of being reactionary is that you're perpetually on the defensive, and every political issue is some variation of an existential threat. No one was going around promoting the sanctity of marriage before gays started wanted to get married. It was never an issue. It became one when conservatives felt threatened by gays and needed a good name to give this great infringement on their society's sensibilities. When you're just defending yourself you can justify being a hateful rear end in a top hat. That's why the dirty brown masses are actually out to get us Pure Whites. That way it's ok to fantasize about slaughtering them in the streets, because they're threatening us.

Just because she didn't get fired because of the release of her arrest record doesn't mean it's ok to release her arrest record. It's dumb to call out the president's family, of course, but it's malicious and harming to make public information that should be kept private. It's not like she dug up info on the Obama kids that was supposed to remain private. She said that the fact that they were showing off their "rich people poo poo" like fancy wallets and stuff was not classy. Coming out and saying "well, you weren't classy either because you got caught shoplifting" is completely irrelevant and just downright mean.

The poster I quoted repeatedly claimed that shedding light on her shoplifting had hurt her because she had been fired, and I'm pointing out that the reason for her firing had nothing to do with that.

I agree that it is malicious and mean but we have mammalian brains that make us enjoy the suffering of others. Somebody googling her name and coming up with a juvenile arrest is not going to harm her career any more than her own poorly considered statements already have. I guess you could feel sympathy for her and her slight not particularly deserved humiliation but why bother? We all have endless compassion sure but oh no some lady I've never heard of had her scandalous teenage misdemeanor exposed after she said something dumb, dear me, will tragedies never cease etc.

She said some teenage girls were being bratty. She said the president was a bad father and that the modestly-dressed Obama girls were dressed like they were going to a bar, because they looked bored while their father was engaged in a pointless down-home ceremony. Her comments were entirely unreasonable and uncalled for. The fact that she was going all church lady on these girls for no reason just makes it funnier when her own youthful transgressions were revealed. This is what human beings call 'schadenfreude'. boner confessor fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Dec 2, 2014 |
