Items In The News Can Make You Say “Teehee”

ABOVE: Mayor Dean Grose

The Mayor of Los Alamitos, the aptly-named Dean Grose, saw a photo of the White House with a watermelon patch and, after blowing snot bubbles all over his city laptop, he pushed the send button. Now he has offered the best excuse ever since George Bush claimed he had nothing to do with the “Mission Accomplished” sign. Grose says he was “unaware of the stereotype that black people like watermelon.” Apparently he thought that the picture was funny because it was showing all the porkumelons in the recently-passed stimulus bill. Or maybe he saw it as a wry commentary that the stimulus bill was so bad that it must have been written by watermelons.

And, of course, if anyone could defend Mayor Grose, it would be “Van Helsing” at Moonbattery, who calls the watermelon patch photo a “harmless joke” and calls a black woman who was offended by it a “fink who ratted [the Mayor] out [and] sacrificed friendship to the motto, ‘Never Fail to Be Offended.'” After all, what’s the point of being someone’s friend if they can’t call you a “nigger”?

Those eyes keep following me.

 
 

I am sorry you were offended by that burning cross i placed on your lawn. I thought you might have wanted some light to read by.

 
 

we need a photoshop of his heads on the lawn stat!

 
 

If he’s unaware of the place of watermelons in racist iconography, then there is no joke, so why would he send it around?

Fucking stupid.

 
 

That’s him in the photo? He looks…how to put this politely…none too bright.

 
 

What I want to ask this racist fucker is “if it isn’t a racial reference, what is the joke? Please, explain the joke to us.”

Watch the fucker squirm if anyone ever manages to pin him down with a similar question. The picture doesn’t make ANY sense unless it is a racial reference. It isn’t just a bad joke, it isn’t a joke at all. Replace the watermelons with a different fruit, and you have nothing.

 
 

Such a familiar face. Didin’t he play Alice on The Brady Bunch?

 
 

ha ha! Alice it is!

 
 

Stop being so politically correct. Get a life!

 
 

The aptly named mayor ought to run for Preznit. He could probably catch Jindal (who just polled a lousy 9%, well behind the huckster, the mittster and the mooseter) due to his similar crucifixion by the liberal media.

 
 

…and then they all got AIDS and died. Ha ha ha!!!

 
Dragon-King Wangchuck
 

then there is no joke, so why would he send it around?

Well, the joke is that Obama is so bad at planning – he’s got all them watermelons and nary a buckit o fried chicken. Whut kinda hoedown has only watermelon and no fried chicken?

 
 

Apparently he’s going to resign. Good, because he’s either a none-too-subtle racist, dumber than a bag of dirt, or some unhappy combination of the two. Plus, Holy Hell that man was beaten HARD with the ugly stick.

 
 

The comments on that moonbattery post are beyond spoofing.

 
Kepping Hate Alive
 

Keeping Hate Alive
By Bob Weir
When the New York Post went ape in a cartoon, the enemies of freedom and equality showed their colors. Apparently the time has come to silence all critics of President Obama! He is the leader of our country and must not be questioned! Therefore, anyone who dares to make a critical reference to him or any of his policies is an enemy of the United States and should be destroyed.

Furthermore, every word or phrase used to challenge his authority will be meticulously parsed to discover hidden meanings. As for Rupert Murdoch, the News Corp Chairman, who recently apologized for a cartoon at his New York Post that critics said likened a chimpanzee to our president: force him to accept bailout funds and then control his every move. The cartoonist, who had the temerity to think that he had the freedom under the Constitution to use political humor as his creative offering: sentence him to six months of sensitivity training seminars.

In case you just got back from a trip to another planet, the Post printed a cartoon depicting the body of a bullet-riddled chimp named, Travis and two police officers. The violent chimp was shot to death by police in Connecticut after horribly mauling a woman. The caption read: “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”

Well, you would have thought the Ku Klux Klan had been given the keys to the White House. Julian Bond, of the NAACP, said the cartoon was inviting the assassination of the president, so he wants the editor and cartoonist fired. Then there’s that highly principled arbiter of moral values, the Reverend Al Sharpton, who wants to shut down the newspaper for, among other red herring reasons, choosing February, which is Black History Month, to insult the first African-American president. (It couldn’t be because The Post has often written about the Harlem rabble-rouser and his many legal and ethical challenges.)

Sharpton wants the Federal Communications Commission to investigate The Post. Investigate what? Are they going to decide if the paper was comparing Obama to an ape? What in Heaven’s name is going on in this country? When George W. Bush was in office, he didn’t get a minute’s peace for 8 years. Day after day he was bombarded with the meanest, slimiest, most vicious comments and caricatures ever heard or seen in the political world. Not only was he drawn as a monkey, he was regularly viewed as a clown, a child wearing a dunce cap, a war monger and the devil incarnate, just to cite a few of the scurrilous attacks. He just shrugged it off and continued doing his job.

My feeling is that Obama is doing the same thing. He’s not squawking about something as innocuous as a cartoon because he’s too busy, too confident and has too much class to waste time with such nonsense.

But charlatans like Sharpton would like people to believe that they’re still living in the 1960’s with Sheriff Bull Connors in Mississippi, using dogs to attack black demonstrators, and Alabama Governor George Wallace standing in front of a school to stop integration. Now that Barack Obama and Eric Holder, the days when charges of racism could be thrown around like baseballs during spring training, are gone. Those who made a small fortune by using the race card as a credit card are as outdated as the dinosaur.

Bond, appearing on the Keith Olbermann Show on MSNBC, said the connection between simians and black men is an old canard. (Evidently, it’s not old enough, since Bond wants to introduce it to a new generation who undoubtedly never heard it before.) Of course, Olbermann, who, during the Bush presidency spent every second of air time on his show foaming at the mouth with a rage that often made him look like a candidate for a padded cell, was in his glory as he eagerly asked leading questions of his guest, always getting the anticipated response.

As I watched the President address Congress on Tuesday evening I couldn’t help thinking that this elegant, well educated man is embarrassed when race hustlers like Sharpton go to the airwaves to “defend” him with a contrived, pretentious display of indignation. Demagogues like “Rev. Al” lose contributions to their causes when the racial climate is friendly and the dark clouds of bigotry are being dispersed. He needs friction between the races in order to add to his personal treasury and be relevant in a country that has abandoned such anachronous behavior.

We have many serious challenges to face in the future; we don’t need race baiters trying to drag us back to the past.

Hey, cut the guy some slack, he probably thought the picture was porn.

Where’s the joke? Well, apparently someone planted a watermelon patch in Connecticut…

 
 

Stupid liberals, the joke is simply that it’s so cold in Washington DC right now that watermelons won’t grow there, like they do here in the heartland where I live.

 
 

We have many serious challenges to face in the future; we don’t need race baiters trying to drag us back to the past.

Sounds like Bob Weir just announced his retirement!

 
 

Is that Bob Weir formerly of the Grateful Dead? This is a sincere question.

 
 

Bob Weir is right!

And that’s why Grose should resign. Thanks, Ctrl-V-Man!

In the midst of saying racism is dead, a Moonbattery commenter declares:

There is one thing that is certainly apparent and that is that Blacks seem to have a serious genetic deficiency in the lack of a sense of humor.

You can’t make this shit up.

 
 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that burning cross would offend the nigras”…sheesh!

 
 

ACK!

Sorry Marco. My bad for not scrolling back first.

 
 

Stop being so politically correct. Get a life!

You tell ’em, cracker.

 
 

Grose says he was “unaware of the stereotype that black people like watermelon.”

Damn, that’s almost as good as the time B-1 Bob Dornan said “now every lesbian spearchucker is out to get me” and followed up by insisting that there was no racial intent in the use of “spearchucker”.

In other news, by fucking my ex-boss out of a construction job today, I’ve been able to set 3 of the guys I used to work with up with some work, since they aren’t getting enough (or any, in some cases) from the ex-boss’ rapidly failing business.

Karma, she is a bitch, but damn if I’m not having a really good day.

 
 

I’m surprised there’s no picture available of messter exmayor in blackface. Really.

The topic of Conservative “humor” came up in the Purple Avenger thread. I think Janeanne Garofalo (the woman who looks kinda like a smaller, smart version of Megan McArdle) put it best when she said something to the effect that satire speaks truth to power, when “satirical” style humor is aimed at people without power, it’s just cruelty.

 
 

Jennifer needs a guest spot on My Name is Earl.

 
 

Fucking hell.. This is what I hate about race relations issue. Those people who insist that racism is dead, simply because it has changed tone. Just because Blacks theoretically have equal legal rights, and because physical attacks are much more rare, doesn’t mean there arn’t plenty of people out there that consider black people and black culture to be inherently inferior!

We have moved into the “I have lots of black friends, but..” era of racism. Where people make “one of the good ones” type comments, and expect to get away with it. A world where you can’t hate somebody for their ethnic origin, just so long as they don’t talk differently to you, and they dont eat funny ethnic foods, and they don’t wear weird clothes, or worship at the wrong church, or speak out about racial issues, or do ANYTHING would upset a white middle class 1950s housewife.

Just so long as you are “articulate” and whiter than white inside, you can be any colour of the rainbow* you like, and be treated as an equal! Okay, with a little condescension, but equal!

* Unless you are actually rainbow coloured. We don’t want no faggots round here.

 
 

In the first posting I saw about the picture it said there was text stating that the Obamas were replacing the traditional WH Easter Egg roll…. i.e., with watermelons. This was supposed to be funny. I think not. It is very racist.

 
 

Well it’s like I’ve always said:

For children, a woman.
For pleasure, a boy.
But for sheer ecstasy, a watermelon.

 
Mayor Grosse Redux
 
 

Hey, that watermelon fucking thing sounds like fun.

 
 

A white kid assaulted by a gang of black thugs is just “boys being boys” or is justifiable by centuries-old oppression, but an insulting symbol is a burning cause of riots, marches, chants, and bestial violence.

Ummmm… I need some help here. Has anything like this ever happened on this planet? I must have been missing all the riots the past few days.

 
 

Well, now that Gary, the spam-troll and Authentic have showed up I want to remind them that I plan to donate a $1 to ACORN for every troll comment on this thread.

From the last 2 threads I’m up to $22, so you three make it $25 for the day. ACORN thanks you!

And I believe others are joining in.

 
 

Is that Bob Weir formerly of the Grateful Dead? This is a sincere question.

Things have really gone to shit since Jerrybear died, man.

 
 

Oh, whoops, two more! Authentic, you are going to be a great fundraiser for ACORN!

 
 

In fact, physical attacks on blacks by whites is practically non-existent, which is much more honest way of putting it. But is the reverse true?

Let’s see some citations.

 
 

Witnesseth a less stupid wingnut in the comments over there getting dealt the “you’re such a PC doodyhead killjoy” card by a more stupid wingnut for thinking this was not a smart thing for Grose to do:

Matt

Political correctness is what got us here. Maybe we’ve had too damn much political correctness. The whole concept of a label on produce and toys being code words is getting stupid. The joke is as much about the stupidity of code words as it is about Blacks loving watermelons. Besides, what is wrong with Blacks liking watermelons? Should a Scott go crazy if somebody mentions plaid? Should a Norwegian go nuts if somebody has an axe or a spear or a horned helmet and God forbid a mention of lefsa or lutefisk? Should an Irishman go berserk and start screaming discrimination if somebody has a potato? Should an Italian start throwing dishes and yelling about profiling if somebody says something about pasta? Maybe Jews should go really insane if somebody mentions a bagel–especially if they are so insensitive as to mention cream cheese?

The race card is getting to be very, very old. I think an immediate attack on anybody who plays the race card with no holds barred is now called for.

He should just be a man, and admit he thinks black people are inferior to white people. He loves to imply it every time he shows up, but he just doesn’t have the balls to admit it.

Authentic,

Yeah, “this one time at band camp” is not evidence that white-on-black racism results in “riots and bloodthirsty violence” while black-on-white crime has spokespeople saying “boys will be boys.”

The plural of “anecdote” is not “data,” and you citing a single case of violence isn’t proof of anything other than, hey, this single case of violence totally sucks.

You want to talk about social trends, I want to see statistics and citations… from reputable sources. Go on. I’m waiting.

 
 

Man, has “play the race card” become the new mating call of the North American Slough-Footed Asshole or what? Almost without fail, you hear someone bitching about someone else playing the race card, dollars to dip, that first someone is trying to defend some dumbass racist shit some other dingleberry, usually someone in high office or mainstream media. Usually in some weaselly, chickenshit way, too, like “Oh, it’s not fair I’m no longer allowed to call grown black men ‘boy’ with impunity, it just isn’t”. You can pretty much walk away after hearing that, ’cause you know nothing useful is going to come out of a “race card” using mouth for the next couple years.

 
 

Just so long as you are “articulate” and whiter than white inside, you can be any colour of the rainbow* you like, and be treated as an equal! Okay, with a little condescension, but equal!

I swear to Ahuru Mazda, the fine people over at GayPutzRiot are fag-hatin, lesbian-loathing homophobes. They keep saying “But gays already have equal rights.” And then they get vicious and vile. I stopped going.

 
 

To answer the rhetorical question asked by “Matt”, YES, many Scots would go crazy if you referred to tartan as “plaid”.

THIS is exactly the problem with stupid stereotypes. They demonstrate a lack of actual understanding of other cultures, and display that ignorance proudly. There isn’t anything wrong with being ignorant of another culture. We can’t all know everything. But being proud of how stupid you are isn’t on.

Both retired FBI officials asserted that the Bush administration was thoroughly briefed on the mortgage fraud crisis and its potential to cascade out of control with devastating financial consequences, but made the decision not to give back to the FBI the agents it needed to address the problem.

 
 

Oh liberals, I love the fact that you are sending the money from your non-productive “jobs” to ACORN and other anti-democracy groups.

He should really be a man and admit it to a bunch of blue-collar South Bronx residents. I would be happy to introduce him to worthy individuals of that ilk.

 
 

Whoops. According to the FBI, in 2007 (no data for 2008 that I can find), 62.9% of hate crime offenders were white, and 20.8% were black.

The basis of 52% of all hate crimes was due to race.

69.3% were victims of anti-black bias.

18.3% were victims of anti-white bias.

I wonder what these folks would do if Al Sharpton didn’t speak up on a subject. That would remove about 80% of their ammo, which amounts to “haha Al Sharpton.”

They’ll bitch about Al Sharpton anyway. Seriously. Al Sharpton’s the Oppressed White Man’s “get out of jail free card”, and they have a vague idea concerning some girl named Tonya or something and so, as Rush and Neil and Sean and Ann say, everything black people say or do is bullshit and not worth considering. Same with Jesse Jackson and his inability to not have a kid out of wedlock, Sharpton being not perfect means black folks want special benefits and will lie to you and rob you and don’t really like you.

Also, since liberals worship Sharpton and Jackson like we worship Karl Marx and and Charles Darwin andFidel Castro and Jane Fonda and Teddy Kennedy and Bill Clinton, are arguments are inherintly flawed if they at all coincide with the Evil Negroes. Plus, all black people, since they all think with one whitey-hatin’, work-avoidin’, baby-mammain’, dappin’ mind, receive daily orders to hate whitey and not contribute to society from Sharpton and Jackson and NOBODY ELSE!

And liberals really know all this but we pretend to care about equality and civil rights and whatnot just because we’re shit-asses like that. Really gives one a sort of respect for out-and-out racists like Klansmen, ya know?

However, in this case, he knew very well it was racist and just got caught with his fatty trousers down, like the Obama buck ‘nut Leon mentioned.

OK. From some comments above it sounded like Weir had gone wingnut.

 
 

Don’t you get it? When I give an example of a black person doing something bad, the entire edifice of Liberalism comes crashing down under the weight of its hypocrisy.

Why are you all still here?

 
 

See, hate crimes are filed by motive, and the FBI says white-on-black violence specifically motivated by racism is — contrary to your claims — quite common. Whereas black-on-white hate crime is tiny in comparison.

The case you cite — wielding it like a holy symbol, as if it alone (and not actual statistics of any kind) is proof positive of whatever point it is you have, something like “black people are evil” — is quite specifically a hate crime. I mean, it was reported as such. And your argument here is that black-on-white hate crimes are NOT reported…

Unless you want to suggest the FBI is in the tank for ACORN…?

 
 

Which is, invariably, lutefisk!

The less fortunate get the pine board it’s been smashed on.

How about, this time, YOU go to the “raw numbers” and come back with something. It would be refreshing if you had anything like evidence to back up a claim.

Everything is in the tank for ACORN.

It’s part of the paranoid worldview it poses in, that it behaves as the lone truth-teller, the martyr who’ll be slain by us wild, savage barbarians, us unlearned Negro-lovers and America-haters, as it keeps hoping and dreaming we’ll do.

The truth is, I still think it’s dull, tedious and repetitive. Its little game is boring, it hasn’t grown or shown any signs of adaptation in the past 8 years. It still just behaves as it did back when it was Kevin, and that’s kind of sad.

I was hesitant to post that comment by SnowSnake because I thought it was so stupid that it could be some lefty wiseass engaged in shenanigans over there. Now though, I suspect SnowSnake is Clint Eastwood’s nym de blog:

Eastwood thinks political correctness has made society humourless

Fri, Feb 27 01:15 PM

London, February 27 (ANI): Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humourless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive.

The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him “a racist”.

“People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct.

We’re all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything,” he added.

Clint is totally out of line. It’s true and sad that there is less and less funny left in the US of A as so many of our crotchety old racists die off. But is he not aware of the fine work that younger racists are engaged in on a daily basis? Why does he not give these brave young crackers credit for the fine work they’re doing with racial stereotypes (sexist slurs too!) in the face of brutal oppression by the PC police? Not cool, Clint, not cool.

 
 

Yeah, sorry, not sure why I got engaged with the troll this time. Sorry guys.

 
 

In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem.

Errrr, Clint?

That was precisely the problem.

 
 

All my friends were Deadheads in the 80s, so I went along and had a good time with it all.

Ah, but Deadheads are a hoot anyway. How can you not enjoy spending at least the odd afternoon around people who’s whole reason to be is getting high and listening to music? ‘Course, all the Deadheads I knew were post-Jerry, so it’s undoubtably a different experience.

Seriously, if Deadheads could cook, I’d probably still hang out with them. On the whole, though, the good vittals are in short supply on the Magic Bus.

 
 

Which is actually tastier.

And has a much more pleasant texture.

You’ve partaken, I see.

Of course, lutefisk has softer splinters. They used to call them “bones”

 
 

Beautiful, Rightwingsnarkle.

The thing about Clint Eastwood….

Did y’all know that the same guy who wrote The Outlaw Josey Wales wrote The Education Of Little Tree? And he also wrote the “Segregation Now, Segregation Forever” speech for George Wallace and edited the Klan’s national newspaper. Yep, Asa Forrest. Now, watch Josey Wales armed with that knowledge. Makes me wonder just what kept Clint from snapping like Chuck Norris did, probably ’cause he’s still a good actor regardless.

In my experience, they may enjoy getting high and listening to music, but how they enjoy spending the afternoon is reminiscing about the precise order of playlists at dozens and dozens of festival shows — extensively documented on their pants — in a spirit of oppressively boring oneupmanship, followed by some bongo playing. It’s like listening to people talk about their fantasy baseball team. Which is why I stopped telling people about my fantasy baseball team.

‘Course, all the Deadheads I knew were post-Jerry, so it’s undoubtably a different experience.

The set I knew were unusual, all students at an experimental college that attracted educationally proactive misfits, basically. All of them were either very intelligent or very talented or both, though it was still the case that most of what they wanted to do was get high and listen to music.

Particularly when everyone knows fantasy cricket teams are much more awesome.

The ‘news’ NPR station in Boston (as opposed to the ‘music’ station) also carries BBC World News every night, and I enjoy listening to the cricket scores.

Some ‘games’ (if you can call them that) have scores like 622 to 3, but they’re not called ‘points,’ they’re called something that, like the rest of the report, makes absolutely no sense.

Yeah, cricket. That’s some fucked up game.

Deadheads might like it, though.

Hampshire?

 
 

Right, because the vast majority of black-on-white crime is not classified as hate crimes

And why is that, oh verital one?

Why then are there so many more hate crimes assigned to whites, when blacks kill whites at three times the rate?

That question is only valid if every one of the statistics you site are racially motivated. But you fail to do that (surprise). No, for you, it’s more of the same “Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?”

 
 

I’m still waiting for Troofie to post that FBI report that says whites are more likely to be victims of blacks than blacks of whites.

And then realize that study includes Hispanics in the non-black category!

Yeah, I look like a loon now, don’t I.

Not at all – that’s troofie’s job.

No, but a similar place on the West Coast.

 
 

I’m still waiting for that study, Troofie. You know, the one that factors out assaults on Hispanics and shows that, indeed, more Caucasians assault blacks in hate crimes than blacks assault Caucasians?

 
 

Interesting.

Troofie? Had you consider that, you know, murder is NOT the only classification of “hate crime”?

Liar.

 
 

I’m engaging in something known as irony, Troofie. Work on that.

So we’re back to the article of faith that black commit more crime, so how can their be more anti-black hate crimes, huh?

I’ll give it a shot.

On a statistic basis, there are more black criminals commiting crimes where the primary motivation is something other than anti-white hate. Robbery, for example. Drug-related crimes. Spousal abuse. Since more black people get arrested on average in this country, the statistics reflect the varied non-racial motivations more.

White criminals, not getting arrested as much, when they are arrested for crimes, have a heavier statistical weight. The white supremacists burning down black churches and beating up blacks for dating white women count more because they aren’t arresting enough of the white spousal abusers, robbers, drug dealers and regular old organized-crime murderers.

So in other words, if you want statistical equality, troll, go get your white friends and commit crimes in front of a cop until he arrests you. And don’t say you’re doing it to get revenge on black people, or you’re just going to increase the problem.

One more time: The numbers you cite describe no motivation. None. Zero.

 
 

You would almost think there was an anti-white agenda here, wouldn’t you?

You are a sad, sad little creature. That is all.

 
 

An anti-white agenda by who, Troofie? The FBI? A millions-strong network of otherwise unconnected courts, judges, lawyers, and police officers?

Do tell.

That’s him in the photo? He looks…how to put this politely…none too bright.

As for Eastwood, maybe he’s still annoyed over Spike Lee criticizing him for not showing any black soldiers in his WWII movies. Not to justify him, but it’s a possible explanation.

I’m pretty sure the FBI or whoever is tracking these statistics understands the difference between “Two black males assaulted a Caucasian individual while screaming ‘Down with whitey'” and “Two black males assaulted a Caucasian individual in South Los Angeles, stealing his wallet and fleeing the scene in his vehicle.”

But, please, keep running your paranoia up the flagpole for all of us to see.

We both know that is because black racism is the norm in this country, whereas white people attacking blacks is almost non-existent and is national news when it happens.

Oh no you don’t, you’re not making me party to your little racist ideology.

All I said was that your percentages are fucked as long as black criminals are getting arrested more than white criminals. Now, you can either reduce the number of black people getting arrested (which you’d never agree to, because they’re all prima facia guilty in your eyes), or you can increase the number of white criminals getting arrested so the percentages of those jailed evened out.

Then you could get a fair assessment of how many are committing crimes based on racial factors.

Of course, since you already have *assumed* that there’s an anti-white agenda in the courts based on faulty data, you wouldn’t accept the finding if more white criminals were arrested so we could see who’s doing what according to what motives, because you’ve already shown you’re looking for a specific answer.

 
 

Blacks are fifteen times more likely to kill whites than vice versa

Did it ever occur to you that murder isn’t automatically a hate crime?

and yet hate crimes are reported as almost exclusively the province of whites. You would almost think there was an anti-white agenda here, wouldn’t you?

Conflation of murders with hate crimes. Elementary logic FAIL.

 
 

dammit

 
 

On a site where every single poster but me is with you, you still have to withdraw after I reveal the raw numbers detailing the truth about black racist violence in this country.

Please substantiate the notion that “black racist violence” and “black violence” are one and the same. It keeps cropping up in your bleatings.

 
 

BR, thanks for explaining liberal “thinking” to me. That is priceless.

Don’t thank me, thank the Department of Justice. Clearly you haven’t bothered to read their definition of a hate crime.

 
 

I so own Troofie.

So Troofie? How come it is that the FBI, the same agency you quote, posts statistics that directly contradict your claims?

 
 

I’m still waiting for Troofie to prove his claim that blacks are a gazillion* more times likely to commit hate crimes than whites.

*estimate based on known trolling patterns of the lying little bastard.

I’m reminded of that person that made the Obama buck, with the Trifecta Of Fried Chicken, Kool-Aid and Watermelon.

And then acted surprised when people called her racist, as if she’d just picked those three items at random, with absolutely no understanding of their meaning.

Also from Orange County. A pattern begins to emerge.

Another winger on another blog informed us that it “maybe” was a reference to Communists posing as environmentalists, to wit, “green on the outside, red on the inside.”

And then he proceeded to lambast the mayor as the racist asshole that he is.

Well, I guess if some of the folks here are willing to pay for their troll-ass-rape, they damn well can do so.

Back to the story at hand: this incident pissed my mom off so much she wrote letters to every member of the city council saying in effect “I think I can find better cities to do business with if this jackass stays in office.”

She was quite happy to hear about the resignation.

 
 

I am so tired of all the drummed up outrage over harmless jokes like this. Everytime I, or one of my friends, makes a joke or comment about an ethnic minority based purely on ideas that were long ago established to be racist, someone plays teh race card and points out that the ideas we’re putting forth are racist. Well, I think it’s time we stopped this.

In other words, I think we need to disable the sacred machanism by which people point out what other people saying is racist (known as teh race card). If you don’t play teh race card, then racism will no longer be recognized and therefore cease to exist. Much like how the gigantic racial divide in the republican party does not exist. It’s the perfect solution.

So, the next time I offend you, remember to “Man Up” and stop complaining because teh race card is no longer in play. And if you try to put it back in play, I’ll be forced to point out that you’re promoting racism. Just like the demoKKKrats did in the 1960s – about the time in which my brain stopped working.

Rightwingsnarkle, the mysteries of cricket are many, and deeply fascinating. For instance, you’re talking about scoring: we’d speak of “185 for 6 after 3 overs”, where the 185 is runs (you can run, or not, it’s up to you. Part of what makes cricket such a hoot), 6 is wickets (knocked by balls or bats, or even feet), and the overs tell you how many balls there’ve been (6 balls per over, change ends after a certain number of overs).

Cricket is the only game I know of where you can go for the day (or several days, in the Test Matches), sit and drink boggins of beer (or indeed firkins of beer), and cheer every now and again, while the game goes on quietly in the middle.

Plus there’s infinite amusement to be had from erudite British commentators (cricket commentating is legendary), talking about fine leg, short leg, and silly mid-on.

True. Although, when I was working my way through college, I thought the academics we’re doing pretty damn well. Now, I pay myself whatever I like because I own the company. Which I started.

So, ummm… PeeJ… Don’t suppose your company needs a biochemist-y person to engineer newer and better ponies or anything? I mean, if you own the company maybe you should consider expanding into the customized ponies market. Just sayin’.

Shorten Tintin: I’ll delete every post that I find threatening puerile, because symbols matter more than real people otherwise, the thread will die.

 
 

I’m really not sure what’s going on here, but I just want to say that deleting the posts of regulars is Not Cool™ and very much against the ethos of this place.

 
 

Simba B: Is “Authentic” now a “regular”? Perhaps so.

In any event, I also am against the deletion of any previously-published comment, even by trolls. For one thing, it makes it difficult to keep up with what’s going on. For another, it makes it difficult to keep track of how much I owe ACORN. In conclusion, I beg for either preservation of the thread as it progresses or just ban the fuckers already.

 
 

In any event, I also am against the deletion of any previously-published comment, even by trolls.

I’m not.

 
 

How about a dungeon/bathroom wall where the comments are “dumped” for the curious few? Not banned, not deleted, just “segregated” (very appropriate, in most cases!)

 
 

Geez, that sounds like a lotta effort.

That said, bans seem like less of an effort than scrubbing threads.

 
 

(yeah, well, it’s easy to suggest stuff when you know you don’t have to do it – my specialty!)

 
 

I dislike it when I scroll back up for reference and find the reference point is no longer there, even if it is troll droppings. It’s creepy.

 
 

So yeah, ban rather than scrub. It’s less offensive.

 
 

It would seem to be simpler but the determined trolls will just find away around the ban as we’ve seen. I guess it would be a pain for whoever is doing it but I think that deleting their posts is more likely to frustrate them into giving up. Or maybe the regular threads could be left to the trolls and their playthings to pwn each other and everyone else could go comment or lurk on an old thread. Or one of the regular’s blogs. Or we could just pick some blog at random and go there to comment. Imagine the confusion in some food or mommy blogger’s mind with 5 regular readers when one day hundreds of people show up out of nowhere to post and read comments making fun of someone named Assrocket and talking about hte buttocks and bags of dicks and lego trebuchets and how much Creed and cilantro suck and making Nazi puns and such. That would be cool. Let’s do that but to be polite guests every single comment should be prefaced with, “Sorry to go OT.”

And, Just Alison, if you’re still reading yes that was a Monty Python reference yesterday, just saw that comment. Should I be afraid to google “choad elevating moment?”

You will never understand cricket until you realise that it is not a game, but rather a modified form of Morris Dancing
Morris Dancing is itself seriously weird shit, combining fertility rituals with shamanic performance, so naturally cricket is even weirder.

“What’s that?”
“That’s Morris dancing, my lord.”
“Y-e-s… I’ve been worried about Morris”.
