The only way to get away with a racist joke is if your audience finds it funny. In this case, your audience is the world, and you are part of a prominent political party. Fucked. However, no matter who your audience is, if your joke isnt funny, you lose. Everyone has that friend who picks up racist jokes from his redneck uncle who picks them up from his even more redneck associates. He does his best to relay the humor but it just comes out hateful and not funny at all.

Example: I used to be a delivery driver for my company. I got to spend a good deal of time with people on worksites and in fab shops in some areas of the country with some slightly less than average education. On one particular day, one of the more overt hilljacks decided to share with me the "funniest thing i've heard in a long time" "whats the difference between a hard workin black man and bigfoot? ... bigfoots been seen... YEEEEHOOOOO he he he he he ahhhh...." It was at this point i gave him a quick smile, and a /no. If it would have been funny, i would have laughed! But no, it had to be something that a 6 year old could concoct during recess, with the prejudice of a 170 year old civil war survivor.

If you're going to tell racist jokes, they better damn well be funny.

How many BG members have a job paid for by taxpayer dollars and disseminate racist humor over a government network?

Hands? Any? Bueller?

The point i was making you bone heads missed was if one BG member makes a racist joke does that make every BG member a racist?

No we got it. What you didn't get is that we're not public officials so our public face doesn't matter as much.

...and in some cases people here don't give a damn about either being a racist or laughing at a stereotypical or racist joke. Especially if it's funny.

Your 'point' is not germane to the reason for the controversy nor the motivation to have her removed from office. Grats on getting nowhere yet again.

I keep forgetting that liberals can read my thoughts!! Shame on me.

[Olo401]

...and I keep forgetting that your thoughts are delusional and that responding to them just make matters worse.

Using Liberal as a put down is sad.

You also keep forgetting that you're historically incapable of expressing much thought at all, let alone in such a manner that seems relevant to the conversation at hand. Thus we're forced to attempt to read your mind. What else can you possibly be trying to draw a parallel for when tarring BG with your cartoonish view of the world?

It's been a common occurence from the mouths of reactionary right-wingers since the Nixon administration.

Hispanics don't care about Black people, this incident won't scare them away from the GOP. As long as the GOP has the monopoly on the debates that Catholics love, they'll get my people voting for them. Retarded, yes, but tempered by shit like anti-immigration rhetoric so it's not a complete loss.

I wasn't saying that hispanics particularly care for black people; I was saying the GOPs general reputation for being racist is one thing that drives away minorities; increasingly driving away the hispanic demographic. The subtle racism of the GOPs immigration stance is pushing hispanics more and more away despite the religious connection.

Who cares honestly? And anyone who extrapolates a young aide's actions to a large group of people as a whole is fucking retarded.

I hate Obama fanboys, guy is nothing special. Read the Drudge Report, arguably one of the more non-partisan news venues out there; are you serious with what the White House is doing with ABC? A news agency dedicated solely to delivering the current cabinet's agenda? What are we China / North Korea?

Not a GoP fanboy either, waiting for Michael Bloomberg to run someday.

[Tristam]

I don't think anyone's extrapolating the actions of one dumb aide to mean anything, rather that this is just a symptom of the racism that's a bit more prevalent in the GOP than anyone would like.

Is it really that much of a reach to get the whiff of casual racism from the office of a state senator from the South? Especially when said office slaps an employee on the wrist for a clearly racist message? If that person were a cop or a teacher they'd publicly be put on the block for termination.

And why are you jumping on 'Obama fanboys?' What does this have to do with them? If anything you should question your immediate leap down their throats, as if their existence were nothing more than an exaggeration of the National Sigh of Relief that Bush isn't our President anymore.

Drudge is a blogger who sometimes gets good scoops. But he's far from non-partisan. He's not even remotely objective in his 'reporting.'

[Rhinox]

oh boy

[Olo401]

bye

shotgun.

So since you feel my ideas are stupid, I'm not allowed to have them?

[Olo401]

First off, when did anyone say you weren't entitled to your own ideas? Never.

Go right ahead and say what's on your mind. But be ready to get criticized for shit you think of that's stupid, pointless and/or not relevant to the conversation.
