This week in LiberalLogic101! (and part of last week!) Rich black people are bad!  Racist rich white people are good!  Liberals are dumb and don't know the constitution!  Abortion bad, therefor IRS should die!  Tears!  Tears!  TEARS!  Oh god the tears I love it I am bathing in them!  I love it when the republicans have a bad week and they throw temper tantrums. The tears are always so delicious.

ratbert90 posted:This week in LiberalLogic101! (and part of last week!) Fair enough LL guy it says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" not technically "separation of church and state" even though Jefferson specifically said it. I'm sure you're that picky with certain other parts of the Bill of Rights. Also the Treaty of Tripoli states "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" but I'm sure by 1797 they were all FINOs (Founders in Name Only). I know getting irritated by the Liberal Logic 101 stuff is stupid since absolutely no thought or reason goes into them but I get to hear this same stuff from people I know so it's unbelievably frustrating regardless.

Has it been confirmed that Deen actually said any of those things, or did she just admit to using the n-word in the past (no poo poo she's a middle aged rural southern white woman)? She stinks to heaven of racial bias, but what did she actually do?

She stinks to heaven of racial bias, but what did she actually do? The quote itself is from 2007 about planning her brother's wedding: quote:“Well what I would really like is a bunch of little niggers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around, Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn’t it? But we can’t do that because the media would be on me about that.” But that's just the starting point, the bigger story that her defenders like to conveniently ignore is that employees have been coming out of the woodwork with stories of racism and sexual harassment at the chain of restaurants she owns. E:fb, but I'll leave the quote here because everyone needs to see it, it isn't like she just said the word at some point, this is straight up "I want to have black servants" poo poo.

zoux posted:Gosnell, Gosnell, GOSNELL GOSNELL GOSNELL. Also a screaming maniacal mob would be democracy bud. It cracks me up that they use Gosnell as the hallmark of what happens in all abortion clinics, even though he was tried and imprisoned for doing it. It's as bad as FOX latching on to the New Black Panthers standing outside one polling station in Philly and having them try to spin it into some nationwide voter intimidation campaign.

The Dark One posted:That Perry quote is loathsome. Perhaps, as a knocked-up teen, she valued her ability to chose the course of her pregnancy. The fact that he thinks little of women's agency isn't surprising, and that he'd make it so personal isn't a surprise either, and that he is going to get away with it is also not a surprise. Hell, that LL101 thinks it's a compliment instead of the vicious personal attack it really is is also not a surprise. What is surprising is that Perry is destroying any hope he ever had of another attempt at a national office with it. EDIT: Eh, maybe it's not that surprising; Perry probably can't succeed outside dysfunctional Texas politics, but oh I'd love to see him try and fail again and again.

Ferroque posted:Yeah but gun control doesn't work and criminals will have free reign over guns and "But you see, banning abortion will only hurt murderers, who cares about them, but banning guns hurts innocent citizens who have done nothing wrong." Pretty much guarantee that would be their response.

ratbert90 posted:Easy: Pretty much. Freeper types love to talk about how this is a republic not a democracy when their terrible, unpopular ideas are enacted by politicians. However when one gets shut down by the courts or undone by another law it's the evil government somehow using technicalities (a.k.a the Constitution) to undo democracy. Notice how there's no Liberal Logic macro crying that the courts overturned democracy regarding the VRA a day earlier.

LanceKing2200 posted:
The defense I've heard about the employees thing is "oh, they're just trying to blackmail her for a payout, I've worked in the restaurant industry so mark my words" My favorite part about the whole thing though is what she says to defend herself in the deposition: "Lawyer: Is there any possibility, in your mind, that you slipped and used the word “n----r”? Deen: No, because that’s not what these men were. They were professional black men doing a fabulous job." I mean, right there, in the deposition, she's saying, in essence "there's a time and a place to call black people n-words, and this was not that time, so no, I didn't say it then. If i did think that they were a pack of lazy n-words then maybe, but definitely not in this instance because that's not what those men were". Maybe I'm just putting words in her mouth, but... I saw something truly astounding in a facebook comment though:  umm....

I can't tell if its them being that dishonest, or the overuse of a false equivalency between the two groups, mixed with their seeing everything in absolutes, means they really do believe that poo poo. You remember that Simpsons episode where Kang and Kodos impersonate Bill Clinton and Bob Dole? The two sides of the abortion debate were framed as "everyone gets an abortion" and "No abortions for anyone". Kodos was shown as coming up with a brilliant move by saying "Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others". The debate was framed so that only those who want it can have abortions, is not the position of the pro-choice crowd. Ferroque posted:Yeah but gun control doesn't work and criminals will have free reign over guns and Despite the fact that, if assault weapons had their prices jacked up by the margin marijuana and cocaine are, just per weight, they'd cost somewhere north of $90,000 for a QBZ-95.

As mentioned before, the 30-years ago thing is masking the bigger issue, which was her restaurant racially discriminating against black workers, by forcing them use the back door and whatnot. And that happened in 2007.
