Sorry the commercial wasn't politically correct enough for you conservatives. Maybe you should just ignore stuff you find offensive.

George Zimmerman wants a re-match and since Trayvon is unavailable he's decided to go with the next logical choice: Kanye West.TMZ posted:George Zimmerman wants to beat up Kanye West ... ironically because the rapper has a history of attacking "defenseless people." Innocent as the driven snow... Source.

Guilty Spork posted:I do legitimately want it to become a thing that people start calling out conservatives as having their own brand of political correctness. Insisting on calling all rich people "job creators" (when many of them are variously "just guys with lots of money" or "active job-destroyers") is way more out there than saying "mail carrier" instead of "mailman." It is already, particularly over the last year - mainly because people these days are sitting up and taking notice of the shallow hypocrisy underlying the right wing's favorite canards. Where have you been?  The main thing is that the whole 'political correctness' thing is really just a cover for the right to play the victim on issues of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. - while themselves whining about ARE NATIONALISM and ARE CHRISTIANITY and ARE JOB-CREATORS and an incessant insecure obsession. Internet Webguy posted:"'America The Beautiful' is a song about unity, which is why it's an outrage to hear foreigners singing OUR song!" Oh boy! I love me some vintage early 20th century nationalism. After all, that brand of nationalism worked out SO loving WELL LAST TIME YOU FUCKS.  Internet Webguy posted:George Zimmerman wants a re-match and since Trayvon is unavailable he's decided to go with the next logical choice: Kanye West. That's just sad and disturbing. I hope no one's paying attention to zimmerman other than the sick spectacle of seeing how a murderer turns a child's life into 15 minute measly minutes of fame.

Kanye should do this, fully consent and agree to a fight, let George get a couple punches in, then shoot him in the chest and go home. Because apparently that's a valid thing.

What's more representative of the GOP than some unholy monstrosity out in the middle of the desert that must leech off the precious limited resources of everything around it to survive. With an infrastructure that could have only been possible with the help the federal government.

This is a lot of cities, but Vegas is definitely characterized by homebuilding for its own sake, which Republicans continue to believe can sustain a local economy on its own and isn't a guaranteed and devastating bubble.

Yes but God's curse in the Babel story was to set humanity at each other's throats trying to murder one another instead of working together to build society. Tolerance and peace spite our Creator. More blood for the blood god!

I thought The Game had volunteered to box Zimmerman, but the promoter's probably gonna ignore that because The Game is 6'4/200+lb and would probably lay Zimmerman out in short order.

I also feel awful that the Muslim people in this country got to be portrayed as villains on it as well. I mean, it's not as if 9/11 wasn't giving them enough problems within this country? It just seems like it was a vehicle to promote bush-era "WAR ON TERROR" policies. I guess Glenn Beck, Rick Santorum, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and a whole array of wonderful people enjoyed the show, so there's that as well.

Antonin loving Scalia posted:“Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles . . . . He saved hundreds of thousands of lives,” Judge Scalia reportedly said. “Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?” He then posed a series of questions to his fellow judges: “Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer?”

I wonder if that's the line that future historians will point to and go "this is where they lost the plot"--you can certainly find threads and previous examples in the 80s and 90s, but it all came together in one big nativist xenophobic poo poo tapestry during that time.

If I were to track it back to the beginning, I'd have to say that the US started to go formally crazy around the time that Jack Kennedy first got elected.

Edit: I knew it as soon as i saw it quote:Executives at Coca Cola thought it was a good idea to run a 60 second Super Bowl ad featuring children singing "America the Beautiful" – a deeply Christian patriotic anthem whose theme is unity – in several foreign languages.

I'm over my mom's place and she's listening to some right wing radio station. Maybe it's Savage, I'm trying not to pay attention. But whoever it is is railing against the Coke commercial. He said something to the effect "do you think you could sing the national anthem of China or Russia or France in English? The people would riot!" So, are those three countries the right wants to emulate? Would that make them better than us? Ignoring for a minute that they don't have the history of immigration that the US has. I couldn't understand his point. VVV To be honest I don't know if he said "anthem" or not but the implication is the same. I'm not sure the best term. National song?
