*Funny word, that, at least when the legal types get hold of it. Stout Maoist acquaintance of mine has a lynching bust on his record because many years ago, he freed a fellow demonstrator from the back of a police car while the cop was busting someone else. Taking someone from legal custody in any fashion is “lynching.”

Carey might’ve been a mere whippersnapper in 1894, but still — you’d think he’d have better recall.

They think Duck Soup was one of the best movies ever?

ba-dum-bump…ching!

Because the last thing that presidential hopeful Biden wants is for persons to draw historic parallels between the Violence Against Women Act which portends the widescale curtailment of men’s civil liberties, and the injustices that befell wrongly-accused Black men generations ago

Right. the widescale curtailment of men’s civil right to beat the shit out of their wives and girlfriends. That is an invasion of civil liberties!!! Not to mention a rejection of God’s laws!!! It is every man’s god given right to “correct” the little woman when she is out of line!!! To deny them that right is just like the lynchings!!!!

Christ. I had never read anything by this guy before, so thanks for that.

And they don’t really mind the State’s using war to advance their utopian goals of universal peace.

Wasn’t that one of our Popular Wartime Preznit?’s many excuses for invading Iraq? Projecting much, Nathan?

No, he’s got us there. We definitely oppose legions of the undead forever walking the earth in a search for sweet, delicious brains (see Novak, Robert), and so logically must be pro-death.

Oh, and Anne? The sick thing is that these guys would LOVE IT if you kneed them in the groin.

No one who lacks either a basic classical education or a strong background in languages and grammar would laugh at the “Romanes eunt domus” bit from Life of Brian, but those who take themselves too seriously would never laugh at Bigus Dickus and his wife Incontinentia Buttocks.

And now I must go watch Life of Brian.

That means we’re all cross-dressers too. or something.

Liberals are pro-abortion, pro-death, pro-gay, and anti-American

It’s profoundly depressing and yet somehow amusing that wanting to leave gay people alone is listed alongside being “pro-death” (oh, and everything ALIVE will eventually DIE — saying someone’s pro-death is like saying they’re pro-oxygen, you cocksnot! Being in favor of it or against it is irrelevant!) and that it’s all nicely wrapped up with “anti-American.”

I would LOVE to knee all these guys in the groin. Man, that would be awesome.

The sexual misconduct that African-American men in the South were usually “guilty” of involved looking at a white woman. And the person who proferred this charge against the man was usually not the woman, but some man in her family – her husband or her father or somesuch. It was simply known that if an African-American man looked at a white woman, it was only a matter of time until he raped her, so it was best to lynch him first.

There are also a number of cases where a white woman and a black man were having a consensual nonmarital sexual affair, and she gets caught at it by a male relative, and then gets out of it by crying rape.

This is not to say that black-on-white rape never occurred in the Jim Crow south, but think about it – if you have a man inclined to rape, why on earth would he want to rape a white woman when he could commit sexual violence against any African-American woman in the area and no white person would bat an eyelash?

And his account of the Emmitt Till lynching is unique in that it’s the only one I’ve ever seen that gets every single goddamned detail wrong, except for the name of the woman involved. Every other detail he gives is incorrect. It’s like an account of how the Till lynching took place on Bizarro World, or something.

And I thought liberals were America haters who knew nothing about American history.

Sacrifice, as long as someone else is doing it. I guess that’s what Jesus would do?
