    This is like having to make sure Spinal Tap's sandwiches have large bread.

    Oh for gods sake: what the hell did you or anybody else think the reaction would be when Mitt went and delivered an Obama-as-boogeyman speech to the NAACP?


    Mitt probably could have gotten away with being considered a vaguely obtuse, effete, oblivious country club rich guy (see above), but he wanted to march right into the lions den and tell the black people what-for.

    I've seen terrible things in my life; I just don't think about them.

    What do you think the reaction would be if Obama went and addressed the NRA and harangued them that Malcolm X's birthday should be made a national holiday?

    In 100 years, there won't be one sad fuck left to look at any of this.

    So I just don't think about it.

    Here's the link to the transcript ...
    Transcript: Mitt Romney’s Speech to The NAACP Convention

    Show me where something analogous to what you posited happened.

    I'm not here to relitigate the Romney-Obama contest. But spare me this bullshit about Romney's speech.

    Oh, it wasn't overtly racist; Mitt, unlike Fucko, isn't that stupid. Mitt wasn't stupid enough to come out and tiptoe on the line of screaming "nigger" out loud, as Fucko does pretty much every day.

    Instead, it's subtly dog-whistly, playing into the "lazy blacks just want free stuff and Obama wants to give it to them" storyline the right wing screech machine pushed for 8 years against Obama.

    Big big shocker the NAACP didn't lap that stuff right up.

    I don't care that Donald Trump is a Republican. He really isn't one. I feel like I've accumulated some political currency around here over the years, at the expense of alienating some board liberals.

    YF: Trump is a first-class fuck-up. Always has been.
