I graduated a few years ago and jesus loving christ if anyone I knew acted like them I would have dropped out my freshman year. What a bunch of self-important assholes. Luckily that was a small group, is being that PC turning into A Thing?

You should look up Oberlin College for some pretty funny stories.

My favorite was how black students demanded segregated safe places on campus.

This was especially funny to me since Oberlin was the first higher ed place in the US to admit black students and desegregate their campus

It's a dog puppet with an unlit cigar, a bullshit accent, a camera crew and a bunch of zingers, so you'd think they'd figure it out anyway.

But I think the college kids figured it out and it didn't matter because most of them were being all shirty and self-important. For serious, is "big fat black guy with a sybil lisp and he stole our candy" a prejudiced thing to say? Can they actually not say "poor" without baptizing it in a bunch of neutralizing language? poo poo, I'm fairly poor, and when I hear a rich kid trying to come up with abstract synonyms, I have to wonder whether the person saying it is working for self-absolution or if they're leading into a "we shouldn't distinguish between economic classes because it leads to class warfare" argument, or what. I'd rather they were doing this than setting up a Young Republicans Club and I love that my generation is generally so progressive, but when I want to describe my economic reality, I'm going to use one word and it's not going to be some hollow and colorless poo poo like "disadvantaged."

I'm not too okay with leg-humping that one kid though. That's the kind of joke you play on a more sympathetic mark, not the one most likely to interpret things as "I am being objectified by a camera crew and some kind of smug reactionary from a decade ago. Comedy Central is molesting me."

the leg humping has been one of his trademarks for years. i thought him loving around with a bunch of uptight collegiate lefties was pretty funny.

there was one colege protests that had all kinds of retarded demands like let the homeless live on campus and be around at all times, get rid of campus cops, and remove the name from building because the last guys name was lynch.

what the gently caress happend to the college/young left. they have the mind set of the religious right now. gently caress em. also lol at numbers 23, 37 , 42-4

honestly. these are the stupid fucks who are leading some younger people to vote trump, so if he wins, its on them for hurting the left.

when the loony left is very visible, it means mainstream left is sizeable for a change. Just ignore them like everybody else.

Alastor_the_Stylish: Jul 25, 2006; WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.

It takes a certain kind of personality to recognize a bit and play along. If you get it, roll with the parts that offend you, and can pull out a minimum of one funny comeback, you've won. The way to lose is to actually get rattled like a few of the students did. I also thought Huckabee did great as the straight-man, so being a weirdo molestor supporter is forgiven.

Wheeee: Mar 11, 2001; When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

If I didn't know anything about Huckabee before seeing this I'd have thought he was a pretty cool politician and one of the Not Too Bad ones on the Right.

If I didn't know anything about politics and socioeconomic issues before seeing the privileged retard college kids I'd buy a Mussolini shirt and start voting fascist.

I don't know why but I have images in my head of Huck talking with puppets like Elmo; he knows his timing.

I think it's because they are empowered by social media. 60's hippies couldn't organize a twitter campaign to get you fired for problematic language.

Even hearing him break is good. Usually they commit a little harder to the 'character' but this was just a thinly veiled excuse to hurl insults at candidates and it was amazing. When he starts snickering mid-line you know he's got some loving gold.

The extended 'chris christie is really fat' joke is something I could have done without. Huckabee being a good sport almost makes you forget he would have gay folks rounded up and slaughtered in camps.
