of both Brenda and the host. His laughter and then reminding his audience that someone else had characterized her as some sort of animal. No matter what Lakey says I’ll think he was laughing to indicate agreement with a racist caller which is intended to encourage others.
Never heard him, or even of him. He is apparently trying to be Rush/Glenn junior. Anyone with any kind of sensibility might have asked “What makes you say that Brenda?”
an articulate, bright and clean African-American. (Biden)
Or…that she was light-skinned with no Negro dialect. (Reid)
Both in reference to the President.
this type of behavior has been fully vetted by HTAT and is now clearly acceptable behavior because he sees an unintentional flub as equivalent to hardcore ugly racism. Whether or not you mean it is now moot because he can demonstrate 2 dems who did it by accident, so we should thereby condone all of it wholesale.
Thanks for your contribution. I’m glad you’re in charge.
I also don’t think that Biden and Reid’s comments were “unintentional”. I think they believe what they said.
They usually justify every sleazy thing conservatives say or do by claiming they aren’t sleazy things at all. It’s librul pc police,or libruls are playing the racism card, whatever. But when it’s so obviously sleazy or bigoted or racist they just switch to the but Johnny does it too argument. They never, ever say it was despicable, I deplore it and there’s no excuse. Ever.
Ther Republican method of never apologizing, and never admitting you’re wrong is very effective.
We’re up to it though:-)
Dems apologize for their own policy mistakes.
How odd that you view racism as a policy mistake.
will be happy to explain why you are completely out of line to see anything amiss here. You may be told, as I have been, that you just see racism everywhere. Uh-huh. Or should I say riiight!?
to even half think that this was an acceptable thing to say or think.
Maybe he meant one of the humans. I mean, walking into the Tea Party dominated Congress as a Democratic First Lady must FEEL a bit like discovering that your homeworld has been colonized by gibbons, right? That’s probably what he meant. Clearly not racist! You hypersensitive liberals, you!
Why do you find it necessary to put words into his or her mouth?
Deal with what is, not with what’s in your imagination.
… he once called out Mark G for bigoted verbiage. Other times he puts on the partisan blinders to deny that Fox’s Obama-is-lazy-and-foreign meme is racially tinged, but unlike Arap or Lib, he’s capable of at least a little nuance on race
You seem highly selective in your outrage over this type of snarky speculation, though, and I admit it’s snarky. That’s all I’m gonna say.
… is now furiously searching The Google for an example of a Dem calling someone an ape, monkey, or gorilla.
I don’t see any comment from Ralphie here complaining about snarky imaginings of what ArapG is doing. Interesting.
But what the righties really should be looking for are examples of any Rs or TPers calling some white Dem pol they dislike an ape. That would show that reaching for ape images has nothing to do with race.
They say lots of insulting things about Joe Biden, for instance, but do they ever compare him to an ape or e-mail cartoons depicting him as an ape? Dennis Kucinich is much farther to the left than Obama. Do righties compare him to an ape? If ArapG or Markie or ‘tad can produce plenty of ape images or jokes from righties in reference to white pols (and their wives) whom they oppose then we’ll have to concede this kind of thing has nothing to do with racism. If not….not.
They’ll try to site you as an example. Of course they’ll have to establish your rightie cred first.
there were cartoons comparing Abe to an ape and they definitely were related to calling his racial heritage into question.
Does he wear the white sheet and pointy hat while he is broadcasting?
