The Official Facepalm Thread

[carmenjonze]

According to USA Today, the quote you claim Biden made is partly false. What he was advocating was an orderly integration of society rather than forced busing. He did say ""Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

Based on our research, the post is PARTLY FALSE. It contains two claims, one true and one false. It's true that Biden said mandatory busing to integrate schools would lead to his children growing up in a "racial jungle." It's false that he said, "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."

Glennfs and these other undereducated white cons think trotting out some old quote from the 70s or some racist half-sentence he said about Obama in the 2008 election compares in any way to what the Republican party is doing to minorities today, this minute.

Lol good luck to him with that.

Your point being is you ignore racist remarks made by fellow liberals

Yeah, Biden is such a racist that he took a subservient position as Obama's Vice President for eight years.

Whereas Trump would never make Tim Scott his VP nominee, no matter how much he sucks up to Trump.

The racism is on your side, and instead of admitting it, you accuse Democrats of being racist.

The man said allowing blacks into his kids school would make the school a jungle.
You would never let a conservative off the hook for making that remark.
The worst part is the remark wasn't some off the cuff I spoke before I thought about it deal. It was a scripted remark.

You didn't read Six's post.

And you ignore all the overt nasty racism in your party. Racism they want to bake into laws.

MGT spoke at a white nationalist conference two weeks ago.

Paul Gosar is another flagrant white nationalist.

Wendy Brown is a straight up neonazi.

Steve Scalise self-identifies as David Duke without the baggage.

Your party standard gives free pass after free pass to white supremacists, white nationalists, and neonazis.

Your party is actively suppressing minority voting in whatever ways you can. Your party houses criminals like Steve Bannon and other Putin WNs.

You personally are a Confederate flag sycophant who thinks whites are oppressed and George Floyd deserved what he got.

Sit down about Joe Biden. What are you trying to prove?

It's racism they are very actively baking into anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, and anti-Asian laws, and racism he himself wants baked into laws.

He doesn't ignore it, he supports it, outright. It's why he votes for it.

This thread will probably evolve into The Official Lauren Boebert Facepalm Thread. Boebert said the soldier was a Lieutenant Corporal Kareem Nikoui. There is no such rank as Lieutenant Corporal in the U.S. military and Boebert once again shows she's trying real hard to be stupider than Palin or MTG.

The congresswoman made the flub during a speech she posted on Twitter, where she claimed a soldier’s mother had thanked her for heckling President Biden’s State of the Union address.

At one point during that address, Mr Biden mentioned “flag-draped coffins.” Ms Boebert responded by shouting out, “Thirteen of them!” – referring to the 13 US service members killed in a terrorist attack on Kabul’s airport last August.

“After I spoke up, a few of the parents of our fallen soldiers reached out to me, and one of the moms encouraged me to share her thoughts with you,” Ms Boebert said on Tuesday, before beginning to quote – or misquote – the letter. “‘Hello Mrs Boebert. I am Shana Chappell, the mother of Lieutenant Corporal Kareem Nikoui…’”

He was not, however, a “lieutenant corporal,” because that rank doesn’t exist. On Twitter, viewers of Ms Boebert’s video quickly pointed that out.

She would get board cons vote over any actual decent Democrat. Sad. And very destructive.

Looks like he was a Lance Corporal? They are from Norco, very close to where I’m from. My parents actually almost sent me to Norco High, where he went. RIP.

I’m surprised that dirty bigot Boebert even took the call, considering the guys name was “Kareem.” But I Persian-American Christians are temporarily passable to WSs like her. :problem:

Hey, Radar was "Corporal Captain" on M*A*S*H*.

And let's remember it was Michele Bachmann who proudly said that Marine's landed on Iwo Jama.

[carmenjonze]

You guys keep making more and more room for more candidates like Shekinah Hollingsworth in your party. Last night she made a video saying she’s glad to be and be called homophobic, a racist, and a neonazi. Like you, she wants to criminalize abortion.

This is the only type of nonwhite person conservative whites pretend to like, so I’m guessing that’s got something to do with her candidacy.

No kidding, I once knew a Sergeant whose last name was General and when we referred someone outside of our organization to him they'd get a confused look on their face when we said "Sergeant General." They were trying to figure out what rank a Sergeant General was.

Today's candidate is Herschel Walker who tried to cast doubt on the Theory of Evolution by saying “At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it."
https://www.rawstory.com/herschel-walker-2656963915/

For certain member(s) on our board, the theory doesn't say humans descended from apes but that they have the common ancestry from which apes and humans branched off to form two different species.

A lot of white supremacists indeed just so happen to be stupid, yes. Glennfs chooses this for himself for whatever reason, though. So weird.

As Forrest Gump once said, "Stupid Is as Stupid Does".....Glenn does one whole helluva a lot.

You believe racism against whites is accepted by the general public.

George Floyd had it coming, too.

Both of these things are longstanding white nationalist canards.

Here is what we do is true about Glenn.

1. George Floyd, having been accused (not convicted) of passing a Counterfeit $20.00 deserved to die. George Floyd was Black.

2. Michael Brown, deserved to die because he looked like a suspect. Michael Brown was Black.

3. Glenn had himself a full blown Confederate States of America shit fit when the Confederate Flag was taken down in South Carolina. "Southern Heritage" no, that flag was and is a symbol of Slavery.

4. Glenn does not under what Critical Race Theory is, but he is opposes it.

5. Glenn opposed Statues of Confederate Soldiers, calling them hero's. No they were and are Traitors.

Glenn is a racist.

As for one and two I agree and wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the false reactions and opinions CJ said I had about those incidents.
As for 3 I supported the removal of the flag and thought putting it at the state Confederate memorial was an excellent compromise.
As for 4 you are simply wrong. I have no problem with CRT being an elective in college.
As for 5 while I do believe it was a waste of money removing the statues. I also believe that destroying works of art because of political beliefs very stupid. While I do believe a compromise should have been struck I never called the Confederate soldiers heroes.
Lastly your continued personal attacks really do not bother me. Your flame war is 90pct one way. I know that while you believe you are raising your que rating among your peer group. The folks here are way above letting adolescent insults and attacks alter anything. Except maybe their opinion of you

Since CRT is only being taught in college, why are you in favor of laws banning any teaching of our civil rights history in public schools?

OK, while I generally also am very reluctant to see any censorship of art - I hope you were defending when controversial works like Mapplethrope's Piss Christ were being removed from galleries, for example - public monuments are put up for the public to honor people at public expense.

This idea is just silly. Statues of Stalin were taken down in much of Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union. Swastikas and statues of Hitler and other Nazi Party members were taken down after 1945. I could keep going. I won't even get into the U.S. soldiers who assisted taking down a very prominent statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq in 2003.... monuments maintained at public expense are not just "works of art". In most cases, these statues of Confederate leaders were taken down and moved to museums where viewing them is a CHOICE and discussed in proper historical context ... I am perfectly fine with that.

Oh, and if they were just destroyed, well again for purposes of historical records, I at least hope photos and other documentation were kept, because all history, including how it's chosen to be remembered (historiography), needs to be documented, but I won't lose much sleep.

BTW, CRT is not a "college elective". Undergraduates who go on to law school might encounter it, but it's not even a core part of law school curriculum. It's something that might be covered IN a course (probably on race and the law), there are no courses on/in/of "CRT" as a subject.
