I Cannot Hear You Over The Sound Of Your Rich, White, Male Privilege


yes, we have finally reached a level of near-catatonic media delusion and denialism in which ABC New's chief political analyst can simply give up on political analysis entirely and just sits on a little stool and singing this over and over and over again...



Behold, a Tip Jar!

Virtually the exact same words were made to Martin Luther King and the rest of the movement. Also about slavery before 1860.

And here, I always thought that it was a pretty good idea to make sure that someone was fully grown before we put him in the White House. Silly me, I should have known that for Republicans, being President is kind of like being in Kindergarten.

First off, Dowd not living up to his own world view advise to Corn.

dowd's convoluted advise is to "let it evolve on it's own".?

While in Dowd's comment of free market values of letting it evolve he ignores the markets influence and just how painful and disgusting his advice of "evolving" is to so many religious doctrine true believers.

Just by giving hhis advice breaks the freedom to evolve.
As I see it, Dowd's sophomoric philosophical assertion merely reflects Dowd's "news and reporting" aspirations of dementia bliss.

I am positive that David Corn has been offered an abundance of the unsolicited and least sought after conservative advice over the years from many a Piled Higher and Deeper deficators.

Good thing Puerto Ricans can tread water for months while the stenographers from the Village work through their privilege issues.

Everyone forgets that if homonculi like Matthew Dowd ADMIT that rump is a disaster, then they are partially responsible. And then that metastasizes down the years thru the 2008-2016 GOP/Tea Party that they supported, to W that they supported, to Ken Starr and Gingrich and all the other Hitler Youth that they supported, all the way back to St. Ronnie. And it will all come tumbling down.

It's the new Domino Theory of political punditry. And therefore they can NEVER allow a speck of blame to accrue.

I dearly loved my Grandpa Otto with his undecipherable old Navy tattoos, he and Grandma Maggie lived with us in Milwaukee during the summer (they'd decamped to Florida years earlier, hated every minute of it). But he said exactly the same thing about blacks, Negros I think he called them. Like it was yesterday, Otto sitting in the basement having his pre-lunch vermouth (!), listening to Paul Harvey on the radio, "why do they have to push it, just let it come naturally". Except it was never going to come "naturally". The pot boiled over in the summer of 1974, he got mad at my dad who was admittedly gloating about Nixon's downfall, he left and never came back.

Oblivious entitled white America in a nutshell, inspired by Tom Nichols Twitter feed:

1968:

MLK Jr assassinated = shrug

Tommie Smith and John Carlos raise a fist = OMG I MUST VOTE FOR RACISM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

2016:

An endless parade of black people killed by police, in police custody, in prison = shrug

An NFL QB takes a knee = OMG I MUST VOTE FOR EVEN MORE RACISM IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH I HATE BLACK PEOPLE THEY'RE MAKING ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE SQUEEEEEEE

With all the disastrous policy, inept republican majorities ability to govern.

=failing repeal and replace of health care
-Escalating nuke threat from 2 of the highly rated ignoramuses.
=Devastation Americans trying to survive through from natural disasters.
-A president who took the oath of office to defend the US Constitution. From the white hHouse demand private sector business take away employment from his critics.
Pl;acing a ban on free speech.
As the republican Congress , who took that very same oath to Defend the constitution. Sit by idly on the First Amendment.
So it is time for speaker Ryan to finally stand up and defend the Constitution and oppose the president's attack on it.
By Speaker Ryan bring a bill to the floor of the house for a vote on ABORTION....!
----------All those jobs he is creating with this vote is unclear. I am sure they will have plenty of marketing dollars from us tax payers to perform more election campaigning from the floor of the congress on our tax dollar.

Dowd's response has got to be one of the stupidest things every posted on the entire Intertubes thingy. Even for him.

the trick the gaff the spoof is simply this....never apologize, never take responsibility. the republican party has been surfing this hate, fear, greed wave for sixty years, they don't have tools left in their tool box.

decency, piety, sharing, tolerance, etc. are all rusty beyond usefulness...their mission is simply to keep the hoopleheads confused enough to vote against their obvious interests. there's no more there there...
