With all due and heart-felt apologies to my friend, the Illusory Tenant, for opening any old wounds, I feel it my duty to point out that the kerfuffle caused by his poorly received allusion now appears to be indeed a moment of selective outrage from the right, as now some of them feel making such allusions is perfectly acceptable. This is especially true given the minimal outrage the second example as caused.
H/T Nick Schweitzer
UPDATE: The original blogger that Mr. Schweizer and I linked to apparently did not like the attention, and seems to have removed their post. For a reference, this is the T-shirt that was being referred to.
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: The original blogger has reported that it was not taken down, but a problem with their server.

Very interesting. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, what's funny is that the t-shirt designers had to print an English translation below the Rebus puzzle. Evidently they were able to accurately evaluate the mentality of their customers in advance. That's good marketing.
ReplyDeleteUh, no dear, I didn't remove it. I was having server problems this morning. It's still there. And ya know, for the record,I thought it was extremely rude. No lady should be called such a name.....
ReplyDeleteYes, Kate, you were merely reporting and showing your outrage. Very brave of you.
ReplyDeleteshweitzer is waiting in vain if he expects coherant ethics from a right wing christian.
ReplyDeleteHottub, read carefully. Hillary Clinton isn't a lady, so it's okay.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay, the drinks are on me. I thank you, the horse thanks you, the cockatoo thanks you. I am open to drinking and talking with anyone, left, right or Schweitzer. I actually drink very little, but I enjoy a good time, good eats and good talk. I am slightly fearful of misanthrope drunks with guns in their car. And then there's the liberals in the bar who can't stop talking about their iPhones. It's a toss-up.
ReplyDeleteUsing Kate's logic, where does that leave the adulteress, McBride?
ReplyDeleteThese conservatives have no clue or shame.
Kate-
ReplyDeleteIf you found it so rude, why did you categorize it under "Chuckles"?
Any one who proudly displays the Dixie swatzstika deserves our lack of respect.
ReplyDeleteThe Dixie flag, whose revival owes itself entirely to resistance to segregation and to not one other thing, is as plainly racist as a burning cross. One need willfully ignore its history as a race-based totem to not acknowledge this. It also is the treasoner's bandana, among the battle flags the United States military has fought against, along with China's red star, Hitler's swastika and Tojo's Rising Sun.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Kate, as Charlie might, will give the most condescending of responses, "Hey, what's the big deal?" or, "Hey, just chill."
Tell that to the strange fruit of the South. Tell that to the bones at Dachau.
This is how history is rewritten, smugly and dishonestly by those for whom racist subtext is a joke and an aim at once.
Go read the blogger runny egg's live blog of the Dem debate for some really deranged and vicious misogyny.
