God damnit this is not what I wanted to post about

[polerin]

But there are racist fuckwads laughing up their sleeve and defending that Racist as SHIT political cartoon.

Seriously, come on. COME THE FUCK ON.

Get over it, asshole.



Now go drown yourself.. ;)

I'm sure to do that first thing in the morning. And I'll repeat it, it is racist as shit, and your defending it is enabling racism regardless of your personal views on the subject.

If that's who you are (apparently so) then kudos to you for sticking to your obama hating guns. I'll call it out loud and strong every time I see it, gods knows there's enough racism in this state to send me straight to vocal rest inside of a week. I hope you guys are having fun manufacturing controversy as our country heads straight to economic hell in a handbasket, taking the world with it.

As Number 9 so aptly points out, what's the difference in your (collective guilt, you know) 8 years of calling George Bush Chimperor, comparing him to a chimp every chance you got?

What come around, and all of that.

Get over it. Bathe.

And pick a handle and stick with it, polecat!

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

I do have a handle, It's not used here for other reasons.
The difference between the standard abuse a president gets for being a president (which is fine by me) and this crap is that this is racist and also makes a joke out of shooting the president. It's not that I don't think he should be criticized, but come on, try something new. I know change is difficult for conservative types, but surely THIS would be change you could believe in.

Thanks, but nope. Once I move to eclexia.net (to have a "blog") I'll start moderating things here, but I think this crap should be shown to the world for what it is.

[lissa2001.livejournal.com]

Sigh. Why do you always seem to attract the ass-hats, hon?

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

Because I've got a big mouth, and I can't keep it shut when the stupid is flying everywhere.

[lissa2001.livejournal.com]

His stupid is a horse of a different color. No pun intended.

[serr8d.livejournal.com]

Shemale, haven't I seen you around somewhere before?



And Polecat doesn't want to ban me here, because I would then delete all of her comments at TFree.

(But if you happened to show up there, on one of my posts, consider yourself deleted, you freak.)

[lissa2001.livejournal.com]

*methinks someone hit every branch of the stupid tree on the way down*

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

I don't really give a rats ass if you ban me at TFree. If you directly insult someone other than me on my LJ, I will ban you. So direct your transphobic and homophobic garbage at me, and leave my commenter out of it. I'm moderating that comment.

Side note. large percentage of trans women I know were soldiers, and there are far more gay soldiers than you have any clue. They have risked, and in some cases, laid down their lives for the causes you so glibly support.

Then you mock them.

-edit-
To clarify. Feel free to engage someone over what they say but attacking someone other than me for who they are will get your posts moderated. This goes for everyone.
Wonderful.

Bullsh*t

[evildagmar.livejournal.com]

If that cartoon were seriously considered to be a threat to the President you can be damn sure we'd have heard about the visit the cartoonist got from the Secret Service.

Re: Bullsh*t

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

I didn't say it was a threat, I just find it amusing to joke about something that would result in so much heartbreak and violence. I didn't even joke about killing Bush.

[shemale.livejournal.com]

Oh ho ho, good one gurl, revealing my ~super secret~ queerness like that!

What will you unearth next?
The fact that i have two girlfriends?
That i'm in my twenties?
That i'm Peruvian-American?
That i enjoy video games, economics, and science fiction?
What else can you glean off my lj profile to make "clever" remarks about, mister internet detective?

Also omg you are playing *red state/blue state*

I will give that a shot, too!
Red State, Blue State!
Red State, Blue State!
Red State, Blue State!
Red State, Blue State!
Red State, Blue State!

Do you have any more ~insightful commentary~ into US socio-political phenomena or does it stop at "hurrr, i'm a real manpublican, not like those durn yankees?"

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

Or fine, Tell you what, Alla you can just get offa my lawn!!

fuggit, have at each other.

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

ew, just ew. no

[shemale.livejournal.com]

what does that even have to do with anything

try harder to come up with something to say or you will probably just get screened again

[pandorican.wordpress.com (from livejournal.com)]

The difference is that Bush isn't African American. It was never used a racial slur against him.

[eclexia.livejournal.com]

trust me, they've heard it (http://tennesseefree.com/2009/02/18/new-york-post-wtf/). They don't care, and are now doing a "chimp of the week" as a "feature".

[lissa2001.livejournal.com]

meh.

[evildagmar.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should consider the possibility that just because there's a monkey involved that that does not necessarily mean it's "racist as fuck".

A chimp was shot that week. That's recent news. Pretty common fodder for editorial cartoons. The idea that a chimp wrote the bailout bill is not hard to follow considering what some people think of the bill. The problem is that Obama didn't write the thing, many people working together wrote the thing, and that ball had even started rolling before Obama was in office. Only the hardline republicans who are currently throwing their little tantrums and trying to blame Obama for everything up to and including global warming would dare imply that Obama was the sole author.

So, without any direct link between Obama specifically, it's not a racist cartoon and you should stop working so hard to find reasons to get bent out of shape.

If you want tolerance and understanding you'd better be able to make use of some yourself first.

Yes, I'm so intolerant, I go out of my way to attack white men! yay!
