What Geostomp said. Also, in these times especially, they probably get a little rebellious pleasure out of it because the only reason people started to frown on free discussion of how sub-human black people are is because of PC liberal manipulation. They are speaking truth to power and if people get mad it's because they can't handle it.

ah, so it's simillar to how the right are desperate to give all Muslims to blame for the actions of dickheads, and get really really mad when people are specific about it instead of "Evil Beard Men Hate Freedom"

The PC police are preventing me from broadly painting an entire large group of people as subhuman apes :(

I was working as a guard at the biggest of the FEMA death camps and we had a special cell reserved for him, but I guess the big boss thought it was too risky in the end. Thanks, Obama :(

I love the wingnuts' slow realization that 1) Trump has no greater plan and is exactly what he is on the surface, a petty vindictive racist dumbass who is an idiot savant in talking without actually saying anything but sounding like he did
and 2) he is literally their only option that isn't Hillary, who is "only" kind of corrupt instead of turbo-corrupt.

So looks like a list of GOP convention speakers is out.

quote:

CLEVELAND — A night highlighting the tragedy in Benghazi, Libya. An appearance by onetime football star Tim Tebow. A presentation detailing former President Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct.

Donald J. Trump, the presumptive nominee, has been promising a different kind of Republican National Convention, and plans obtained by The New York Times show that he is eager to put his showbiz stamp on the party’s gathering, even as he struggles to attract A-list talent.

The roster of speakers obtained by The Times, and confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of the convention planning, reveals a lineup lacking many of the party’s rising stars. Instead, it features some of Mr. Trump’s eclectic collection of friends, celebrities and relatives, from his Slovenian supermodel wife to professional golfer Natalie Gulbis.

The parade of people seems to have been selected to broaden Mr. Trump’s demographic reach.

Looks like speakers include GOP allstars Tim Tebow, Pam Bondi and Ben Ghazi.

Marx posted:

That which is for me through the medium of money – that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) – that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money’s properties are my – the possessor’s – properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness – its deterrent power – is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?

Bolding mine.
