Also, congratulations on becoming the second person inducted to my ignore list...
If you are that upset about people discussing racism... imagine how African Americans feel when they have to listen to Romney.
No, it's more about your signature and your hoplophobia.
So hang on a minute. You can't handle someone criticizing Marco Rubio's factually incorrect, hyperbolic, hyperpartisan remark?Of course I can handle criticizing it, but the idea that it's some kind of stupid gaffe, when, at absolute minimum, 40% of the population agrees with him is just incredibly dumb.
You can't handle someone disagreeing with giving every flight attendant in America a gun,
This is something rather more difficult to handle, because it's an obvious measure and because your argument against it (flight attendants will go on murderous rampages) is just so bizarre.
but African Americans should listen to this birther stuff from the Republican presidential nominee and just keep their mouths shut?
Where did I say they should keep their mouths shut? I'm pretty confident most of them realize it was a joke (and that in fact calling birtherism a racist phenomenon is stretching the truth -- not necessarily breaking, but stretching), but if they feel offended, they should go ahead and say it.
Obviously not afraid of a little double standard are we?
Excuse me, what?
Romney's father, George, marched with Martin Luther King, Jr.
That's a lie. That was debunked over half a year ago.
Link.Having read more about it, admittedly
it's unlikely (
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2007/dec/28/mitt-romney/george-romney-and-mlk-marched-but-not-together/), not impossible but unlikely, they did it, but it's historical fact that George Romney marched for civil rights, and there are witness accounts other than Romney himself who claim they met at Grosse Pointe.
Vosem, Romney will say ANYTHING that pops into his head depending on the time of day or who the audience is.
Clearly.
I would be careful about calling people out and putting them on "ignore" based on some off the cuff Romney pronouncement.
I put you on ignore more for your irrational beliefs about arming airplane staff and your general belief that Republicans are racist than for any specific post.
