La Frontera is also a feminine noun, but it's no surprise that a racist doesn't know poo poo.

Only these organisations wouldn't be independent either, really we just need to remove districts all together.
And so they changed their name. A the-loving-point cartoon.

I can kind of see his point here. Even if the redskin trademark has been cancelled, it hardly seems fair that everybody is now able to copy the logo and make money of it, despite the work coming from somebody else. If only there was a right against copies of works, but alas, not in America.

I don't know, they do have some long-time fans. This is purely anecdotal, but some of them are just embarrassed by the name and want them to hurry up and change it so they'll stop being laughed at.

It's sad that even though they want to dump it, America is so racist that the team is afraid of a big backlash against them and against Native Americans, they feel like they just have to slowly drop it and hope no one notices and eventually forgets.

Uh no it's more because changing a logo and mascot of an MLB team is actually a pretty huge project that involves tons of time and money and they have to do it between seasons and poo poo.

I think the point is that by any objective standard gerrymandering benefits Republicans, and is overwhelmingly conducted by Republicans rather than Democrats. Framing it as a non-partisan issue basically reduces it to a both sides do it false equivalence. It's misleading and lets the Rs off the hook.

Either A) he didn't bother to logically carry out the metaphor or B) he did and his dream is that Obama drowns all the children. Neither is very reassuring.

Yes. But then the citizens of Hameln didn't pay him and he took his revenge by using his music to lead the children away never to be seen again. There is no indication that he drowned those children, by the way.

Even better, at the end of the story the Pied Piper does use his pipe to round up all the children of Hamlen and leads them away and no one ever sees them again. Obama - getting rid of immigrant children?

Lester is doing another example of listening to Rush Limbaugh's show to get ideas for his cartoons.

Obama did comment on it back in October though, basically just said that Snyder should consider changing it.

That is a point, and maybe even a valid one, but that's not the point Heller is trying to make. He's saying "by trying to stop the use of racist imagery, you have allowed it to proliferate!" which is just dumb bullshit.

And then, when the people of Hameln refused to pay him for the rat clearing, he used his flute to lead their children away to an unknown fate. In other words, what did Mexico do to snub Obama enough to make him lead away all their children?

Nah calling illegal immigrants and even loving asylum seekers like those that Australia has been receiving "human traffickers" is the go-to conservative buzzword to frame the issue now. "We don't hate foreigners we just we're just tryng to protect them from international trafficking rings".
