Watching a hate monster eat itself is just so goddamn satisfying. On a more serious note, I'd like to think that sort of thing would change her views a little, but given that she's back to pandering to her rear end in a top hat fanbase, she just put a little concealer on the bruises and went back to work. Again, I feel nothing but pity for her.

That sounds like it'd be up Nyarlathotep's alley, although he'd be more concerned with the chaos and destruction the rage results in rather than the rage itself. Come to think of it, there is a black guy who makes a whole lot of people violently angry...

A lot of atheists, Maher included, look down on all religions but are particularly harsh towards Islam. It seems like a mix of standard anti-religion sentiments with xenophobia and racism.

People who say exactly the same things Trump says but for some reason hate Trump confuse me, like Matt Walsh and Mike Lester, or LL101. I guess maybe they have a more libertarian bent to them? Because Freep kissed Cruz's rear end up until Trump started running, at which point they always hated Cruz and Trump was their man, but they seem to have a more authoritarian bent to them, so maybe that's the difference.

They're not mad about the racism, they're mad that someone is race-baiting to support an economic agenda that's not 110% dedicated to grinding up their voters to feed the ultrarich. Oh and Walsh is worried Trump isn't truly Jesusy in his heart and won't install the theocracy Walsh wants.

Reminds me of some stupid Dean Koontz novel I read as a kid, where three guys figured out how to mass-hypnotize a secluded town. One of them did it because he wanted this to become a supersoldier program. Another did it so he could gently caress any woman he wanted. And the last guy did it because he wanted to see this program expand over all the US so every single person would love Jesus. The fact they were all brainwashed into literally killing their own children (to prove the first guy's point) meant nothing. They would love the Lord! I wonder how many of these guys watch the last season of Game of Thrones and think, well, I'm not washing any feet and not giving to the poor, but the rest of the Sparrows poo poo sounds fun!

It's hilarious because it isn't helping. The cat's out of the bag at this point and the evangelicals realize that they won't ever be in charge. They were desperately dreaming of an American theocracy but it's becoming increasingly obvious that they just plain won't ever get it. The anti-LGBT bills also aren't able to accomplish all that much seeing as there are federal decisions on LGBT stuff; the religious right is absolutely furious that the SCOTUS was like "gay marriage = OK, gently caress you" and the GOP just kind of shrugged and went "welp, can't win 'em all." A few states are trying to make last gasp efforts on the level of "hey guys we're doing out best" but the bills say things less than "kill all the gays" so the evangelicals hate it all.

For Matt Walsh at least, he's an educated and orthodox Catholic before anything else. He rose to popularity by being young and hip while campaigning for the status quo. He's wrong almost all the time, but that's because he bases his opinions on the flawed principles of Catholic doctrine and tradition. At least you can understand why he holds a certain opinion, while still contesting that it's wrong. As much as I hate seeing mattwalshblog shared on my Facebook wall, he has earned a bit of grudging respect from me for being so critical of Trump. It would have been easy for him to maintain a neutral posture on the race for the nomination and not alienate the dumbest portion of his readership, but instead he's pointing out how completely inappropriate Donald Trump is as a presidential candidate based on the standards with which he claims to measure himself.

He's only anti-Drumpf because Drumpf doesn't share his particular brand of crazy, and eating your own has been a favorite pastime of partisans throughout history. I'm sure he's making a principled stand based on his own value system. His value system still isn't worthy of respect no matter how dogged he is in adhering to it. Also, he posts poo poo on the internet for a living. Giving his opinion on the GOP primary is pretty low stakes unless he endorses Clinton or Sanders.

I might have respect for Walsh if he were ever Christian, like ever, but last year I had to see a whole bunch of shares (by white gay men, naturally, thanks Texas) of Walsh articles whining that the police aren't putting the boot down on black people hard enough and if only we'd gun them down indiscriminately we wouldn't have to hear their awful protesters make those vicious implications that racism still exists in America. But instead of doing some self-reflection over the fact that everything he complains about from Trump are policies Walsh totally supports if they're stamped with enough Jesus, he just whinges that Trump=Hitler and then blithely argues for Trump's exact policies but with a Jesus wrapper.

Honestly I think what REALLY gets to Walsh is that it's Trump of all people that is saying that we need to prosecute women who had abortions while the "Christian" Republicans in national leadership positions tried to distance themselves from the idea. I bet being one of his daughters is quite the experience.

It's this exactly. Trump went on TV and laid bare the obvious logical conclusion of all pro-life ideology and Republicans sprinted over one another to deny that they'd ever want women prosecuted, as if repealing Roe v. Wade wouldn't result in tens of thousands of criminal cases a year brought against women. And people like Walsh just can't stand that they're having to publicly denounce something they all want.

So Bomani Jones went on ESPN wearing a shirt that parodied the Cleveland Indians' mascot, with "Caucasians" in the same font and a white guy drawn in the same style as Chief Wahoo with a dollar sign instead of a feather. Most people are praising him for it as it's a good way to highlight the hypocrisy of a lot of sports fans who were angry about the shirt. On Facebook most of the posts I saw about it were either supportive of what he was trying to do, or at least weren't hypocrites. There were quite a few "I'm not really offended by this, I don't think the Indians' mascot is racist but this shirt is still really funny" and the like. I did see a handful of people trying to compare it to Notre Dame or the Boston Celtics, but not too many. This was by far the hottest take though, submitted for your enjoyment. quote:Racist gently caress. Want to know the difference. The indians isnt deliberately being racist. There isnt really any loving thing racist about it. They arent saying anything wrong about them they arent saying anything like all indians are the same. Thats their team name and mascot. Period. You dont see Norwegians and poo poo being pissed at the loving vikings.

When did US Catholics start caring about social issues through the narrow lens of sexual morality and stop giving a poo poo about poverty and other social justice issues? I mean if you look at Pope Francis and things like the Catholic Worker movement you'd think most of the church would lean left except on a few social issues. But it seems like most Catholics just fixate on abortion and they've sided with Republicans so long they've been brainwashed into worshipping at the alter of Reagan.

From my limited sample size of close acquaintances, I would say Roe V. Wade was leveraged very effectively by the Republican party and has caused Catholics to weigh "life issues" far ahead of the social justice issues that used to cause them to vote Democrat in the time of, say, Kennedy.

I don't think that is really true. Catholic heavy areas like Boston still lean D really heavily. Suburban FYGM NIMBYism coupled with a veneer of moral righteousness was enough to make that Catholic demographic go Republican in the Reagan "moral majority" coalition. Catholics also tend to be from newly white groups like Italians, Irish and Polish so they double down on racism to prove how white they are.

That's fair, my sample is limited to a collection of Catholics in areas of Michigan and Ohio. My older relatives, like my mother, would say they always used to vote Democratic up until about Reagan, and when I asked why it was always all about abortion and continuing moral degradation among the Dems. But that was coincidentally around the time they were settling down and having kids in middle class suburban communities that were basically all white. Your explanation is certainly plausible.

There are also a lot of Catholics, like Santorum and Donahue (president of the Catholic league) who just really wish they were evangelicals. Maybe I just went to a really liberal catholic school but one of the messages was if you only vote republicans because they're ostensibly pro-life, don't forget they support the death penalty and that's just as bad, so get off your high horse about it.
