The Michele Bachmann foot in mouth thread

If i'm racist because I can't stand white people who are racists, or white people who think they lost their country, or idiotic christians, who think they are better than everyone else, then color me racist.

 

We should always encourage ignorant people to be as boastful about their ignorance as possible. It can save you a lot of time and effort.

 

You say that like Black is a bad thing. It's who you are that's important. I can tell you are pretty thick skinned and fairly intelligent. I like that. LaSalle is a rabble rouser and, frankly, not too smart. I don't like that. Plus he's a liberal and doesn't know why.

 

I watched the Today show this morning. This story has been blown way out of proportion just like usual. The guy went into the clinic and said "please help me. I have homosexual thoughts and I don't want to have them anymore." Now maybe they should have directed him another way but they gave him what he asked for and what they said really wasn't all that offensive.

To put it more plainly, the portion I saw had nothing on the acorn videos.

 

You mean that fraudulent hoax of a video done by O'Keefe on Acorn? Even Andrew Breitbart admitted it was bullsh!t.... That's like Hitler speaking against the Nazi's.

You misunderstood me my man. You drew the correlation between his rants against the whole of Christianity and his most recent rant in this thread against all black people. I'm simply separating the two, as one is a matter of choice and the other is not. You could choose to be athiest or any number of other religions. I cannot choose to not be black, regardless of what Michael Jackson managed, pre-death, LOL. My desires in my point are irrelevant. But for the record, I'm proud to be a contributing member of society, and I happen to be black...and proud. Say it loud!

 

Everything is black/white to you. You think whites have a monopoly on racism? You constantly accuse Obama critics of not liking him because he's black, when in fact, his race has nothing to do with it. I don't like basketball. The game, especially the NBA, has become unwatchable. You, and racists like you, would say that I don't like it because the players are predominately black therefore I am a racist. Well, get over yourself because I hate soccer too.

 

Maybe I was unclear. The point i was making was that the initial public reaction to the video seems to be as severe as the Acorn reaction when the video doesn't appear to be nearly as bad.

Have you watched the video and listend to the guy who made it? He says in the interview that he went in there and told him he was having homosexual feelings and wanted to get rid of them. They're response in that context is not nearly as bad as it's being made out to be.

 

There is no cure for homosexuality, except death. It's not an affliction. It's not a condition. It is a state of being. Just like heterosexuality. But these people feel that gays are barbarians, and that some good ole prayer will set them free. Plus they receive federal funds. Now, stop me if I am wrong, but wasn't Bachmann against federally funding planned parenthood? But federally funded gaybegone is a good thing?

 

to be fair i think east african blacks like obama are smart, so i am not insulting an entire race. unless you consider those west africans vs east africans different races, which i think would be a more accurate way to classify people. skin color alone doesnt characterize folks. dumb west african (american) blacks have a whole bunch of characteristics.

exactly. even if i am wrong, i am merely ignorant. too bad for me. i amthe idiot who has to be ignorant. i dont get why people get so offended that they want to shut down the dialogue when someone is racist (like me). contained chaos is right. wouldnt it be better that people know where each otherr stand? beter to be openly ignorant like me.

also i dont like how some ignorance is ok, like religion, but some ignorance, like my racism is wrong morally or whatever.
