I didn't watch it but the Trump speech but it sounds like it was bunch of unbridled lunacy and venom. Of course it confuses me why anyone think that's actually going to hurt him at this point.

I dunno, when he is saying it and clearly up there having fun and happy it plays differently than when he is up there flailing. Basically he needs to hang in there at least until Iowa exposes Carson's machine as a gift rather than a campaign

Fried Chicken posted:I dunno, when he is saying it and clearly up there having fun and happy it plays differently than when he is up there flailing. You're right, if he just let go and let the media do their job on Carson (to the extent to which the media, being LIEBERAL LIES, can do so), he'd win. But he can't, can he? It's just not his personality. And to think of it, Carson himself was unravelling just a couple of days ago, in that media conference. It's fantastic. e: about the only non-fantastic thing is that I'd much rather prefer it were Rand, Rubio and Cruz mutually calling out each other, and all of these assholes are currently escaping scrutiny because of the "outsiders". meristem fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Nov 13, 2015 |

meristem posted:I think it's wonderful how Trump just hasn't worked well against anyone (so far) who isn't Jeb!. He tried Fiorina, he got stumped on sexism, repeatedly. Rubio just thanked him for the water. And now Carson is outcrazying him, so Trump is in the almost Kasich/Jeb/RNC-establishment position of telling everyone how stupid they are for believing exaggerations and lies. Uh, what? Trump has consistently cut the legs out from under pretty much everyone he wants. I hardly saw anything about Trump being sexist with Fiorina. Instead it was all about how she completely hosed HP and how Trump was kinda right on the money with that.

So I walked in a few minutes late to a Pub Quiz in Czech Republic last night and the question on the screen was (roughly) "Ben Carson is running for President of the United states. In addition to many other crazy things, he believes the Pyramids were built for what purpose? (Does not involve aliens)". I strolled right up to my group, grabbed the answer sheet and wrote down "grain storage". Thanks to this thread we got first place by one point (out of 50).

Rhesus Pieces posted:They tried to do this after 2012 but gave up after about a month of navel gazing. "So the solution to losing 50 pounds is to run 5 miles a day and cut my calorie consumption by 40 percent, eh?" ... "Tell me more about that quick fix magic diet thingy!" The worst is Jindal who was the "GOP has to stop being the party of stupid" guy, and then ever since he got wiped out in the backlash, he's been tripling and quadrupling down on stupid. Edit: Trump is also a lot different from the Cain/Bachmann style not-Romneys because he knows how to work a crowd and has his own substantial source of funding so he can stay in the race as long as it amuses him, and aside from throwing big events, he can actually run his campaign on the cheap relying on getting buzz through twitter and free TV publicity/interviews.

Meanwhile in college, an amateur production of The Mountaintop at Kent State features MLK played by... a white guy. But it's more complicated than that! The director says:quote:“I truly wanted to explore the issue of racial ownership and authenticity,” director Michael Oatman said on opening night of his decision to use two actors — one white, one black — to play King. “I didn’t want this to be a stunt, but a true exploration of King’s wish that we all be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. … I wanted the contrast. … I wanted to see how the words rang differently or indeed the same, coming from two different actors, with two different racial backgrounds.” The playwright says: quote:“I just really feel as though it echoes this pervasive erasure of the black body and the silencing of a black community — theatrically and also, literally, in the world,” she said.

Gravel Gravy posted:I really want to believe the guy, while maybe well-intentioned, was really just not thinking. It just feels like one of those ideas that are entirely valid in a vacuum, which is where most people live (internally) when you think about it. But since the friggin character is supposed to be MLK that really should have tipped the guy off.

Maybe it would have worked if he had more than just two MLKs. Like a lot of people, the guy forgot that there are more races than white and black.

I don't think I ever knew the name "James Earl Ray" in my history education. Just as well really, because "MLK was killed by white people" is a much more poignant image than "this specific dude is Hitler for killing the blacks' only good leader".
