A non-racist slash Ant aside, I've been listening to a ridiculous amount of O&A crap on YouTube, and I'm just now hitting the time where Jim Norton's mom left him a voice mail about his picking up of ladies of the evening. It's so hard to work through the whole clip, it's so loving funny and yet so bizarre.

I honestly don't understand Colin Quinn's point in that tweet. Ant's actions were creeping on and taking pictures of black ladies and then reacting to one of them daring to question his behavior with "gently caress YOU NIGGERS!" 100,000 times. Does he want Ant to have sex with (or "gently caress") a black person in order for his actions and words to match?

Topic is called "Ant wiped his Twitter. Holy christ, this is getting weird." What does your standard Ant supporter think, upon seeing that? "Maybe Sirius is feeling the pressure from the fans canceling and told Ant to delete his tweets and he can have his job back. I hope ant doesn't apologize but deleting tweets to get his gig back isn't the worst thing he can do. Apologizing would be."

Just a quick response to this idiot: Racism isn't an 'opinion' like you think it is. It is a vile disease of society that ruins the lives of a good portion of the people in it. How in the gently caress can you think that racism to the extreme extent that Ant openly displays is an OPINION? Is being in the KKK a valid choice of association not at all indicative of criminal intent?

Just because you hate his opinion and feel very strongly about it doesn't make it any less of an opinion. World doesn't revolve around you, bud. This is the kind of reactionary outrage over semantics that holds back progress.

How, exactly, does being a racist who says black people are subhuman vermin qualify as JUST AN OPINION to you? I feel like it may be something more than just another opinion in someone's repertoire ala whether they prefer basketball to baseball, cats to dogs, or whether or not they think shouting "friend of the family oval office" at someone in public is acceptable in the year of our lord 2014.

How you feel about it doesn't change what it is. All you're doing is taking the collective disgust over what he thinks and trying to use it to justify something that, whether you like it or not, was uncalled for. We've only got one side of the story, and it paints him as the victim here. Words don't justify violence regardless of how hateful they are.

Just so you know how stupid that is: Hitler set in motion the Holocaust with words, some pretty hateful ones! Do you think that there's absolutely no circumstance ever in which violence is an appropriate response to 'just some words'?

The less celebrity interviews, the better.

Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast owns bones, as does Jim Florentine's Metal Midgets. You can pretty much look up any comedian you like, or who you like on O&A, and find that they have a podcast with a hundred+ hours of poo poo you can work through. The absolute #1 best comedy podcast I've ever heard, though, is The Bugle with John Oliver.

Yeah, but gently caress that guy. He deserved to have his poo poo taken away from him.

Exactly, Tomahawk.

A lot of care is going into defending people who are making GBS threads on entire swaths of humanity for no reason but their skin tone or some other thing that makes them a minority, and thus a convenient target for victimization.

I appreciate the time you put into that, Cory. I learned something from your post that I didn't know before, as I refuse to waste any more time researching Ant in LFTC footage that I'll just be enraged from. Him abusing a retard is a nice example of being a huge piece of poo poo with no loving empathy whatsoever, even though he knows Bobo and should be treating him like a human being but can't because he's been otherized (see Adam Carolla and his life-long friend Ray, who he treats like loving poo poo constantly because he's poor, making him sufficiently otherized to be abused without remorse, even with a loving lifetime of experiences and friendship attempting to make Adam behave in a manner that isn't just outright cruelty), and him pulling that poo poo on his female cousin IN FRONT OF HER SON is just... incredible.

Seeing the word "otherized" is a good indication that the person using it is an insufferable bore. Were you ever a fan of the show at all or did you listen so you could sharply gasp at all the "problematic" poo poo taking place

You do know what I mean by the term, at least. Bobo gets treated like a subhuman mongrel because Ant believes the differences between the two of them are significant enough that he can do anything to him without actually being a bad person. Although I'd argue that the case with Adam and Ray is about 1000x worse and more glaring an example of someone who literally deserves to die because of what they've done, especially since 'lol I'm rich ur poor' is literally all it took for The Ace Man to declare someone else a lesser human being.

And yes, I actually do like the show a lot. Like in the present tense, even though it's obviously going to be O&J instead of O&A. I've been listening to full shows and bits of note on YouTube pretty much non-stop the past month or so. I'm only just now finding the Race Wars podcast of Kurt Metzger's worth switching my attention over to, though I still have a good 40 hours worth of O&A queued to listen to in the near future. So, yes, I'm more than just a bullshit SJW, I just think that Ant's choice in retaining his ridiculous racism in spite of knowing it is sourced to his abusive dickhole of a father makes him deserving of punishment until he changes. The Racist Tree is 100% right in how examples need to be made of every single person who behaves the way Ant does.

I agree: Him thinking himself to be superior to another simply because of their lack of money and his luck in acquiring it is only, like, 98% of the way there. Meanwhile, he actually deserves to die because he's willingly sold out to FoxNews and the conservative shitheads of America. That's well beyond simply deserving to die. That's, like, 110% of an immediately-executed 'sorry, you die now' sentence, if not more. One thing I always think of: When he cared about how uneducated teenagers making GBS threads out kids that would become tomorrow's criminals is exacerbated by the religious right in America forcing ignorance as the only answer to sexual education, he was quite angry about how conservatives were destroying lives. Somehow he's changed his opinion on that all and is completely swallowing his atheism and all now that he's able to get a paycheck out of the Bill O'Reilly appearances and Dennis Prager tours and poo poo.

I didn't know a whole lot about Bobo before, but now that I do, yeah, he's partially responsible for all the stuff he does, even if he's goaded into it by Ant. It just seems like the stuff he does is rather reckless and dangerous and Ant shouldn't be egging him into them is all.

Actually, comedy is a lot funnier when you punch up or self deprecate.

If the janitor roasts the CEO at the company picnic, it's funny. If the CEO roasts the janitor, not so much.

I do believe Jimmy Dore said it best when he pointed out this is why conservative "comedians" (Dennis Miller and FoxNews and such) don't work so well: They are just punching downward and beating up those with absolutely no power like the poor and other oppressed minorities. It doesn't work as well as making fun of someone who has some responsibility for the situations that are at hand, and who are ordinarily immune to/able to punish criticism. The person with the least power getting blamed and ridiculed and punished for everything isn't comedy-- it's reality.

I don't consider racism to be an 'opinion' that is just another part of the tapestry of a person. It's a 0 or a 1 that determines if you're so disgusting that you should be thrown into a trash compactor. Being an Adam Carolla rich gently caress who looks down on the poor is just as bad.

Hate to break it to you, but racism is an opinion. It's a bad opinion, but it's still an opinion regardless as long as it does not manifest itself in violence.

Why do you advocate violence against people you disagree with? How does that not make you any less retarded than Christian Crusaders who slaughtered Muslims?

So I guess you must be ok with murdering millions of Chinese living in Hong Kong and China since a bunch of them casually say racist things about African and dark skinned people.

Here's the problem: Wouldn't you be a racist yourself if you're murdering another race simply because they're racist against the noble black race?

Of course if you happen to be Han Chinese yourself, you're still a completely unhinged psychopath. You'd probably be the next Chairman Mao if someone was dumb enough to give you any real power.

Thank god you're just a basement dwelling autistic loser with absolutely zero influence on the world.

We clearly have a difference of opinion in how much we care about this subject. I think that being racist or otherwise-bigoted is the most evil thing a person can be and makes one deserving of life's prompt end. I'm not about to set out on a glorious quest of bloodletting to cleanse the world of such people, but I don't see the problem in stating my opinion. You seem to have an issue with anyone saying such things, though, and are quite angered by that. I guess that's just another 'opinion' is all.

So in your opinion, is murder not evil if it's used to kill racists?

Also yeah this feels like trolling to me.

Are the cops evil if they shoot some serial killer after he fired upon them? Is capital punishment evil when it's used to kill that same serial killer who's got a string of kids he raped and killed under his belt? Someone's trolling and it's not me, you're just mentally simple and silly, it seems.

Gavin McInnes is the original hipster, a co-founder of Vice that got ejected (because he crazy) when it was decided that Vice was going to turn into the most legitimate source of journalism in America, and not so much not a racist himself. Media Matters on him being a racist. TYT covering it (Jimmy Dore rules, btw) Him being a sexist, which is just hilariously pathetic.
