Obama says so. Kanye cries. Peeps are aghast.
Yep, that’s the big news of the day!
Rock On America!
Agreed, CNAK. The word that I have in mind contains part of it, however.
Sigh. I missed it. What did Kanye do?
OMG Taggles! No you di-uh!!! LOL
I applauded his “George Bush doesn’t like black people” speech to power. Now I just shake my head in sadness.
Rumor Central has it that he’s been going of the rails since his mother passed a few years back. Seems that she kept him grounded which I can understand. Every now and then I still thank my mother for not leaving me to the wolves with some of the things I did when I was younger.
And I ain’t tellin’ either MB. But I can say safely say it was a very very bad thing.
I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about this and racism yesterday. My spam filter is still full of bots who insist I was serious. Gotta love ‘em.

Taggles, you may be missing the sarcasm (or the point). The post was NOT defending WIlson – it was showing his supporters as the other side of the extreme. It was an offensive against the race baiting the Obama operatives have been engaging in whenever anyone doesn’t agree with him. Sorry that’s all you took away from my post – maybe I’m just not as good a writer as you?
Hmm. Guess I gotta check that post out. And BTW, congrats Tags on the new job. Welcome back to the wonderful world of F.I.C.A.
Not worth arguing here. I stand by my post and my pushing the “racist” thing over the top.
Been there and done that.
And one more thing. Do you mind not using the word “teabaggers”? The Tea Party movement, though flawed did have some good intentions. Using that word insults them, their movement and the GLBT community.
I know we disagree on somethings, but using words uddered by Rachel Madcow shouldn’t be one of them.
Dude, I used to watch for her every night on Countdown and I found her to be very intelligent and insightful. I might have heard that she’s a lesbian somewhere. Let me check my back issues of the Advocate.
And one-sided PC shit? Where did that come from? Truth be told, I feel that we lower ourselves down to the level of both crazy wings of the left AND the right when we participate in the name calling. No matter how innocent or funny it seems.
Remember that “Sarah Palin is A C**t” shirt? I’m not a republican or woman, but I was disgusted none the less because it was WRONG
Disagree with them if you want. Hell, I disagree with a lot of what they say too. But I can give them a itsby-bitsy amount of respect for standing up and showing up for what they belive in. Which is more than I can say for a lot of Democratic party.
And PS, I have long since stopped watching MSNBO not matter who’s on it.
Taggles, these “tea party” people are so full of their own self-importance that they are now calling each other “patriots” who “believe in the US Constitution.” ORLY? Where were they for the past 8 years while Bush was using it as toilet paper?
Pointing and laughing at us liberals saying we needed to “get over it.”
Well, get over it Tea Party people. Yes, the government is involved in Medicare. Yes, we should have health care reform (although not the kind Obama looks to be proposing). Yes, waving a flag with 13 stars and stripes is a RACIST statement.
And yes, I’m an American too. So don’t be surprised when I exercise MY freedom of speech!
I think that we can all agree that Kanye came off as a bully.
I have to admit I personally don’t like the word “teabaggers,” but that is just me talking.
But I also don’t think they are “patriots.” Or that we are Communists or any of the other idiotic stuff they call us! And I think a lot of them are racist. I saw them up in my area protesting and they were a MASSIVE turnoff.
No. Sadly, it’s starting to look like maturity if we can’t have a civilized conversation here. Latahs, Wids. See you in 2012.

OT..and on a lighter note, from “The Bloggess”:
“And then I found a boob laying on the grass”

Jackass is not the word I would have used……
What a world, people making fools out of themselves in front of tv cameras left and right.
