I think you'd agree that "Barack the Magic Negro" is a bit too low in tone to qualify as dog-whistle. That's airhorn racism, everybody heard it.

When I see what Nugent said, I'm reminded of how maligned the Dixie Chicks were by our 'liberal media' for simply saying they were embarrassed to be from the same state as Bush. I wonder if Nugent will get even a tenth of the coverage that manufactured scandal did.

No doubt. I guess going with the watermelon patch would've been a better example? Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if people defended it as not being racist because it wasn't "Barack the Magic N****r."

Of course not. It'll probably embolden Nugent and use it as a rallying cry.

That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.

Ultimate dirtbag draft dodger

If he keeps saying shit like that his little prediction just might come true. Washed up has been....

throw up "url" and "/url" in brackets, RvB.

Man, guys, I really wish I would have taken the other pill so I could stay willfully ignorant of the worlds politics. Because I am finding that a lot of people I know who I thought where cool (regardless of political views just fundamental good person) are actually balls out racist, homophobic, sexist and if they had their way it would be 1900s all over again.

Obama has been a lighting rod for showing peoples true outlook because it quickly goes well beyond agree/disagree of bills and policies to...that $$$$a is a Muslim space chimp sent to destroy America and everyone just kinda shrugs...


I forgot about that Dixie chicks thing......I wonder what would have happened if they called Bush an closet Gay working with the KKK to destroy America...

Yep, tried that. Also tried the ["url="]Writing[/url] method and it still tried to make it a video...

Yeah, the more you know, the more you realize how shitty the people around you are. It's harder when it's your own family.

Have you tried editing the text using advanced options? There are text editing buttons that do the work for you or can undo the hyperlink.

I like how Mitt Romney basically said his wife has no dignity. Way to go, Mittens!

Yeah I really wish these people would stay out of politics because it just destroys my enjoyment of their work. I can't even watch Frasier anymore because i keep thinking of this commercial.

So disappoint...

That's one of the worst things about Twitter. It gives far too many celebrities who don't think before they speak easy access to sharing their stupidity with the world. I imagine it can be quite the nightmare for publicists and agents.

I do my best to try to look past it, but I can't say, for example, that Patricia Heaton's recent stupidity on Twitter didn't have me reluctant to watch more of The Middle.

Eh entertainers are like that. Here's Maher on a misogynistic rant, kind of atypical and more characteristic of the right. I do like his crack about Fraiser though lmao

Hahaha...yeah, Maher's [not]funny like that. It's similar to "I'm not a racist, but-" syndrome except that in his case, it's about women...and he pulls that shit a lot. I'm not sure how much of his material he writes himself, but the loons on the right have a point when he called Palin a cunt. Too bad it's all about scoring points rather than calling out their own ideological ilk on it's own racism, classism, sexism, etc.

As for Fraiser, I never really liked his show, but I also found it hilarious during the credits when he's singing about tossed salad and scrambled eggs. I don't think he's talking about a vegetable dish and dairy products.

No, he's talking about the people who call into his show, the fact that they're nuts and have problems.

I'm sorry I just had to:

I tried everything I could think of. Even just editing out the [URL] and trying to do plain text doesn't work.

I was alluding to those terms also being the name of sexual acts, but whatevs.

On the brightside, now we know that the url from that site will mess up on CAG.

FWIW I got a chuckle out of the joke.

By the gods UB does not have a sense of humor. I don't mean that as a knock - the man is interesting from a scientific standpoint. Like some freak that doesn't sweat or never blinks.

Too bad scientific oddities never manifest like the Xmen - that would be cool.

I knew what you were alluding to, I was simply posting the actual meaning as per the writers of the song.

It really doesn't like that URL... I've tried everything. Weird.
