a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Holy shit slavers were jerks.
Rubbing brine and pepper into whip wounds because he ate a bit of sugar cane?
Christ.

yes slavers being dicks is not news, but shit man that's just over the top
 
I wish Sarah Palin would see the world. Along with many other US leaders. Just do some travel in Europe, asia and the middle east. Why can people come to power when they don't know two shits about the world?

The shit she says about scandinavia. It's sad. It's not just ignorant, it's just downright stupidity to compare us to communism, but that's result of someone who has never traveled or seen the world. So I wish US would revise their foreign policy. All people of the senate, congress and other important positions should not be ignorant of how the rest of the world works!

I totally get where you're coming from, but Sarah Palin holds no important positions. She's a nobody so no one should be sending her anywhere. The rest of the world should continue to do as they have been and just forget she exists.

Lol the fucking mangoes who said this is misogyny.

Anyway, the majority of the statement from Bashir was on point. Unfortunately it'll be lost now as everyone talks about Palin getting shit into.

Which isn't the worst alternative.
 
You come into every thread with the misogyny angle.

Knowing things is hard for someone like that. They just don't know what they are saying and misogyny is a big word so they think it'll make them sound smart. It doesn't really work. But they'll keep trying and they'll probably eventually get it right after throwing so much shit to a wall and having it finally stick.
 
Ugh, I don't want to see the porn parody version of this. I can think of other things to do to her in that vein that would make good porn parody.
 
Though we can likely all agree that Palin is not an intellectual giant, she (as any human being) does not deserve comments like these hurled at her.

The fact that this thread has not exploded in outrage is sad merely because she does not play for the team that most of Gaf plays for.

This statement is misogynist, cruel, tacky, classless and hateful.

Uh, what? If it was some male Fox News commentator being told to have shit rammed down his mouth, what would that be? I don't see where gender is coming into this.
 
Bashir is one of the worst hacks on MSNBC, the least worst news channel in America (or second least worst, if you count BBC World News).
 
MSNBC spends half their day talking about Sarah Palin.

Pretty much. MSNBC and other networks are just giving her more publicity by talking about her. They need to stop.

And Martin Bashir will probably be reprimanded for that comment (if he hasn't been already), and rightfully so. Even if the target is a heavily disliked and idiotic person such as Palin, Bashir crossed the line in a professional sense.

Err he was drawing a direct parallel to her comments about slavery, it isn't okay to just invoke slavery because it removes the exact gravity of what slavery means. It comes off as hateful because that's the point of his commentary.
 
Really Shit MSNBC Anchors, Just Awful: Baldwin, Bashir, Brzezinski, Finnerty, Huntsman, Matthews, O'Donnell, Schultz, Toure
Likeable but Still Awful: Scarborough, Sharpton
Extreme Centrist Hacks: Mitchell, Todd
Literally No One Cares: Ball, Hall, Roberts
Goofy Motherfucker Who Has More or Less Broken the One Good Show on Cable News: Kornacki
Worst Thing about Their Own Okay Show: MHP

If I forgot anyone, they're in 'Literally No One Cares'. Best recurring guests are clearly Barro and Klein.

I guess I spent a lot of time watching this dumb shit.

Look, I know you have a deep burning sensation that you want both politician parties to be equally wrong in everything they do including the media that they control, but what do you expect when a former VP candidate for the whole country starts comparing slavery to the federal debt. Do you even understand how outlandish her claim is? Do you know how many slaves died? Do you know how hard slave life was? Do you know how slavery wasn't just black people but the Irish as indentured servants in the north? Or how the prevailing racist and bigoted ideas from slavery persist(hint:black people don't want to work because they are too "lazy" and would rather be on welfare)? Or how laws were implemented in the constitution that made it so black people didn't count for a whole person but 2/3? Or the long battle for slaves to be considered equal just underneath the law? Did you know only the last maybe 50 years, at best, where black people in this country were guaranteed the right to vote? Do you know that one entire party has bought into racism to bolster their political party and think it's perfectly fine to focus on minorities and limit their ability to vote, because instead of reflecting on how their party's platform is racist, they just think the "black people are lazy" racist mantra they perpetuate through dog whistles and racist language?


I think that maybe talking about shit going down Sarah Palin's mouth is the least harsh words that anyone could say when talking about how she compares the death of over 200 million slaves(I'm counting all in the Atlantic slave trade because that's where all Americas slaves came from) and the institutionalized racism that followed from the idea that one set of people were superior than black people. Maybe you should sit down and think about how the republicans have become a beacon of bigotry with the tea party and Sarah Palin leading the charge.

Shit in my mouth if old.
lol

Well. I am scorchingly, angrily, flamingly liberal, and this is pretty gross to me. I agree that comparing things to slavery is obnoxious and trivializes the horrors of slavery, but... C'mon man, we can't have better political discourse than openly wishing to shit in people's mouths?

I wish we could separate the institutional slavery of the New World from the general concept of slavery. Her comment comes across to me as a comparison to the latter. That's not really a controversial opinion, in that sense. Comparisons between debt and slavery predate the New World by a good margin (i.e. Proverbs 22:7).

Considering she kept saying, "this isn't racist, but" I'm almost positive she was referring to plain old new world slavery. Even if she wasn't, that's an extremely poor choice of words for someone that's supposed to be a politician.

So, in "old world slavery" they used to be able to kill their slave if they felt like it.


How does that have to do with the federal debt? Mostly caused by 2 wars that we're taking off the accounting books until President Obama came into office (because he knew how stupid it was to [ironicly enough] put things on a credit card and not have to pay for any of it).


Romans also used to work slaves to death, is that like the federal debt?

You do know there are still slaves in deplorable situations today, right?
 
I want Sarah to run, she seems to know how people should do things and how the gov should work.

if she has all the answers, she should run then

Would it be over comparing slavery to the federal debt? If so then I'd say fair game.


I can't even fault him saying it because it shows how insane the idea is. No one is shitting in Sarah Palin's mouth, but during slavery's tenure people were having that done to them. Sarah Plain isn't being forced to do anything, she has free will to go where ever she wants, do whatever she wants, and has total freedom over her stupid decisions.
 
Yes.

It's a comparison.

If I said that eating your cooking was like devouring a plate of pan fried camel shit in a sauce of stoat semen, that would be a comparison too; however, no matter how bad your cooking was, it's a needlessly inflammatory comparison which serves no purpose but to paint you in a bad light using a negative association.

With America? Nope. Drama and hyperbole is how American politics works. People should watch this documentary about USA Talk Radio that exposes the philosophical difference between UK (more impartial) and USA political (more emotional) coverage. We don't quite have the same level of free speech as in America.
