Given that the exact same thing happened with Obama, re: guns and bibles, you'd think she'd just be a whole lot more careful.

I mean, if she hadn't led with "some Trump supporters are fascists," she would've been attacked for sugarcoating things and minimizing how awful Trump and Republicans are. Instead she did, and got attacked for being mean to the economically anxious. What was she supposed to do?

Like there's any number of legitimate political attacks you can levy at Hillary Clinton but the deplorables speech was literally 100% correct and a fairly good overall piece of oratory.

It just seems to come back over and over again to people wanting lay the blame on Hillary for not being able to cleverly outdo a bunch of blatant cheaters who get away pretty much everything they do. How dare she just get the popular vote and not beat this elaborate, undemocratic system that's been hobbled by massive voter disenfranchisement in the wake of the destruction of the voting rights act. Why couldn't she come up with the right words to appeal to poor white people that couldn't be chopped up, remixed, and blasted from every news outlet to say the exact opposite of what she intended? Why couldn't she be so good and skilled that it wouldn't matter that the game is rigged?

Nothing. What it did was nothing. It didn't do a loving thing. The quote was taken entirely out of context and leveraged, free of facts or meaning, to whip up the base. If Clinton had never said it in the first place, you think they wouldn't have found something else to throw at her? You think misinterpreted soundbites are what broke her chances? There but for a few careless comments go we? The radical alt-right wouldn't be a loving drop less radical and insane in an alternate dimension where she'd never said that; no one would be "closer" or less "pushed away". It's a loving excuse is what it is.

At this point, what difference does it make? Etc, etc.

We don't have to kill racists. We just have to politically marginalize and overwhelm them to make a better country.

You aren't entitled to complain to people who experience the consequences of these people's actions that they're wrong to call them shitheads. They are shitheads. You just love them anyway because they're your family.

I never said they weren't shitheads. I said they can be saved, and stopped from being shitheads. Why is that so controversial to you?

He makes these for Deutsche Welle, a Germany company, and they are published on their Russian language site. I doubt these get published anywhere inside Russia.

All he did was say he's a Nazi, surely this does not indicate anything about his actions, desires, personal identity, or capacity for empathy and this incident should therefore be considered purely in terms of the bad monstrous liberals punishing speech they don't agree with because that's how my magic whiskey spectacles work

Hmmmm for some reason I'm now recalling that when Tinsley was mad at The Daily Show over a parody Mallard cartoon, he actually said in an interview that Jon Stewart changing his name from Leibowitz was "the real issue."

e: This was, of course, after Tinsley responded to the "Mallard Fillmore doesn't tell jokes!" parody comic with a nationally-distributed "Jon Stewart is a hooknosed child molester! Just a li'l joke ;)" strip
