I know you were probably just trying to be funny, but when you say stuff like that it comes off as sexist/racist/homophobic. There's enough of that in the stump speeches themselves. You don't need to add to it. Your right. I missed my Graham attendents being very cute (they were for real too) to tie it to Carly cute girls and should have mentioned that the stuff I wrote down were odd things that stood out at the super right wing old people and biker gathering. It is hard to tell what to post. Maybe should have mentioned that I almost ran over Florina on accident before that last picture since it was the end and she had come out to the parade ground. No reporters were around her. This was after I almost ran over Perry too when I rounded the corner behind his tent as he was leaving.

Huckster lookin' super old. Seems like he's retiring from his show but starting a campaign instead. You can already tell it's taking a lot out of him. Like retiring from being a sprinter to run marathons.

DOOP posted:Chris Christie stated his positions once and they were mainly Dem with the big exception of his goddamn guns Wasn't he the guy that only wanted to date liberal girls because he thought they were easy? bird cooch posted:Un-clutch/clench your pearls/anus I enjoyed his write-up a lot. I didn't think telling him to refrain from a few things that come off as sexist/racist/homophobic would be a huge deal. This forum is usually pretty good about not doing those kinds of things, and so it felt out of place. Since it doesn't seem like you really understand what was wrong with those statements, I will explain at a greater length the problems with each of those things. bird cooch posted:Cute girls were cute- an outlier in a aged and gristly demographic. This is a statement. How is this offensive? How cute the poster thought the girls were is not germane to a political discussion. The fact they were young is noteworthy. The fact that they were "cute" is not. He should learn to words better. bird cooch posted:The minority candidate booth had minorities= Racism. How? Acknowledging that minorities were booth volunteers is simple acknowledgement. He also mentioned that they were women. This was also an outlier. Saying they spoke in "broken English," is offensive. There are more tactful ways to put that than how he put it. Again, he should learn to words better. bird cooch posted:Lindsey Graham seems seems gay isnt saying that gay is bad unless you are a 14 year old boy. Who the gently caress cares if Hootington thinks he "seems gay." The dude put a lot of effort into a write-up of a campaign event, but then also included a few things that, even if you disagree about whether or not they are offensive, are just stupid and don't add anything to the discussion. Saying Lindsay Graham "seems gay" is one of those things. bird cooch posted:Failed CEO has tons of make up on is offensive to whom? Can we not giggle a Bohner being orange or Rmoney getting some extra tint before going on telemundo now? He not only criticized her make-up, but he criticized her for having non-uniform skin color. That's pretty hosed up. It added nothing to the discussion he seemed to want to have, and criticisms of how much make-up or what kind of make-up women are wearing are often pretty misogynistic. I hate to break this to you, but criticizing the appearance of a male politician versus criticizing the appearance of female politician is different. Male politicians often get over-arching criticisms of their physique. The clothes/make-up/jewelry of female politicians often gets more scrutiny than male politicians. I'm not saying Hootington hates women. I'm just saying criticizing make-up is stupid and something that actual misogynists often do. If she looked orange like Boehner often does or Romney did on Telemundo then yeah it might make sense to point it out. This wasn't that, though.

You don't need to add to it. Jesus shut the gently caress up. This is multiple posts now from you chiding people about not being PC enough. Talking about a woman's makeup is not "sexist". Saying Lindsay Graham is "maybe gay" is not homophobic. Do you write Jon Stewart angry letters when he affects a southern dandy accent to mock Graham, too? You seem like the worst.

Not to mention the suspect things he did, like paying for personal expenses with campaign funds and using PAC money to hire family members.
