How the gently caress can people honestly get mad about an in-context quote during an interview which makes a solid point? Fox News will stop at nothing to further their agenda and it's such a loving self parody at this point I can't see how anybody buys into this poo poo.

You act like anyone who watches Fox News is ever going to see the context. They want a sound bite to push their agenda and they'll intentionally omit the context and get a bunch of Samuel L Jacksons from Django Unchained in front of cameras to prove their point.

The best part is, if you watch that clip, is there is a Confederate flag flying on the screen behind the Fox News anchor. Just there for a moment, just there to remind the base what this is really all about.

They can show the entire context of Obama's statement. Fox doesn't have to worry about their viewers picking up on the context. Fox News viewers are incapable of processing context when they hear the word "friend of the family" because: 1) They've gotten too excited 2) They're too busy looking around for black people so they can know whether to let their true reaction out

The problem is that the context makes it worse from their perspective. Obama's talking about RACE!!! AND he used the N-word (false: he mentioned it, which is very different from a use of it!)! The mere fact that he's talking about race at all is enough to get their blood pressure rising.

If you ever want to offend a white person. Don't call them cracker or honky or whatever outdated term you can think of. Call them racist. You will never see a person sweat more than when you call them a racist. That's why they want so badly for Obama saying friend of the family to mean something. Now they can show us that it'not them who is racist but our black president.

Honestly calling a white person a racist is way more politically incorrect than saying the n-word or some other racist slur.

I used to joke that they'd find some way to criticize Oblammo for having a cheeseburger for lunch. Then Hannity went and did exactly that. It doesn't matter at all what Obama did or didn't do today. Whatever it was it's wrong somehow.

Oh suuuuuuuure, when the historic first sitting black president gets into a conversation about race in the United States he gets to say friend of the family but when I want to call him one on freep while discussing how he chucks spears it's "wrong". *patiently waiting for Todd Starnes to pat me on the back*

I truly did entertain the idea for a moment and asked myself "Wait. Isn't this the same thing as this other thing?" Then I realized that, no, it is not. I'm absolutely a little condescending in this and intend to be but not that much. Just 5-7%. So, why? Maybe I'm dodging all the bad video games but I don't think that I could remember playing any video game that was all 'Kill every one of those demons! We must secure a safe future for the white male protagonist uptopia!' And generally calling for one true war to wipe out everyone that's not with you. Worst I've seen is that I get attacked and 'Welp, I don't have a Converse Peacefully button. Gotta kill em all.'

We've seen Beck go through this cycle again and again, though. He comes out with a good, thoughtful opinion. Then he invites people on his show to talk about it. Then his opinion starts to shift with each passing guest, and now he's adamantly against what he stood for earlier. All it took was a few interviews with David Barton and Rick Santorum to get him from "eh, let gays get married, who cares?" to "We must fight the black-robed tyrants at all cost! The gays are burning our country to the ground!" As soon as Roy Moore comes on his program and says "Well, really, it's not about racism, it's about freedom", expect him to completely flip the script.

After listening to Marc's podcast and watching the F&F clip, the fact that F&F bleeped out the word actually made it sound somewhat more offensive than the what's in the podcast recording -- so much for context.

 He did not use the n-word, he mentioned it! For example,A: Todd Starnes is a fuckface. B: Todd Starnes, the word 'fuckface' has eight letters in it. C: Don't call people fuckfaces, fuckface. In A, I just called Todd Starnes a fuckface. In B, I did not call anyone a fuckface, nor did I say anything about whether it is okay or not to use the word! In C, I both used and mentioned the word fuckface!

When arguing with people about racism, what is the correct way to fight against the "well other races are just as much if not more racist than white people!" argument, aside from pointing out that even if that was true that doesn't excuse a racist point of view in the first place. And no, severing is not an option, as I am dating her.

It's interesting rediscovering the madness of right-wing talk radio. Levin is going full Master Shake right now. On my short drive home from work, I heard - Obama is a bad father because he was in a different place than his daughters on Sunday - Obama/liberals are trying to divide this peaceful, postracial country by distracting them with the Confederate flag (ignoring entirely that today's admission it needs to go came from Haley, Graham, and other SC conservatives) - Also, they want to ban the Confederate flag (nobody has said anything like this) - The Confederate flag has nothing to do with the killings (loving lol) - Guns my guns oh my god they're coming for my guns (ignoring that Obama has said nothing about guns and all the gun talk has come from RWM dipshits like Levin himself) - Full-on "liberals are the REAL racists" (I think the exact quote was "Racism is in the DNA of Democrats. Racism is not any part of Republicans") along with honest-to-god fallacious pre-Southern Strategy examples. I heard the same thing on Hannity Saturday and I didn't think it was a thing anymore, but I guess when you're talking to a low-information audience and nobody is around to call out your bullshit there's no reason not to try. So much projection and flat-out lying.

It's not perfect, but it's easy to think of it in playground terms. Saying mean things about older, popular kids might not be intrinsically better than saying mean things about little kids and outcasts, but it's sure a lot less harmful since you have a lot less chance to hurt them by it.

You could tell her that she's full of poo poo. Also, whites are pretty much the only folk who colonized the poo poo out of other continents, so there's that. If anything, the racism from other races is completely justified looking at history.

Crocodile tears from Fox News talking heads. Charleston: Why didn't anyone help Dylann Roof? Funny how mental health issues are only ever brought up when a white boy does something bad. And of course this is coming from the same people who are all too eager to defund anything related to public health services.

I've found the real cause of the shooting, liberals! http://townhall.com/columnists/rach...15506/page/full quote:The radicalization of Roof appeared to start when he bought into the left’s mantra of blacks and other minorities vs. whites. quote:Obama could have used the opportunity of becoming the first black president to heal race relations, moving us toward a colorblind society. Racism can no longer be as bad if Americans elect a black president. Instead, Obama has used his bully pulpit to exacerbate racial tensions, quick to find racism against blacks and quick to attack white police officers. He stirs up race relations deliberately to gain Democratic support. As a result, 84 percent of Americans say race relations have worsened or stayed the same since Obama has been in office.
