Number of SJWs aside (because I agree Twatter mob is a VERY small majority) - it became a large majority when he appologized on public TV - and subsequently all major media companies reported on it.
Reuters reported on it stating that it was a racist act. Sorry, but that is why the media is shit today. It isn't up to the media to determine what a racist act is unless it's (wait for it...) an OBVIOUS racist act.
What about the conclusion of this says "Just Trudeau HATES BROWN PEOPLE!"?
I have no reason to disbelieve the 8 women.
Be useful. Go chase a squirrel.
You honestly thought Al Franken should have resigned?
Circular firing squad is 100% on the mark. That message doesn't just come from me - it comes from your butt-buddy Obama.
Whatever - just like this thread I just like to sit on the sidelines and laugh at the stupidity of the liberal lefties eating themselves alive. Cannibalism at its finest.
Ok. I admit it. It was the 3,276 SJWs in the United States. They wield so much power it's terrifying.
Or, it was because a disingenuous asshole made some willfully ignorant statements on her prime time tv show and the company said, 'yeah, not worth the trouble. We've been looking for an excuse to get rid of her anyway. This should work.'
But no, really, it was the SJWs.
Yeah, cause you were a big Franken fan before that happened, right? I mean, you were totes gonna vote for him 2020 just like you would've voted for Bernie in 2016, amiright?
You're either dishonest as hell or stupid as fuck if you don't think believes your troll ilk is sitting on the sidelines here. FFS, you started the thread.
Al Franken paid a price for apparently being a grabby asshole.
Weinstein is apparently in the process of paying a price for being a fucking monster.
That's not a firing squad. That's people paying the price for their own actions.
Note: that there is a vast difference in the prices paid/being paid due to the vast difference in behaviour/action.
Who cares? There is no right to have a TV show. There is no right to hold public office. Those things are dependent upon public opinion. And when you piss off the public, then you're fired.Yes, really, it was the "SJW's" or whatever we're calling them these days. It's actually quite a lot of people on the left, particularly the millennials. It certainly wasn't just Kelly's behavior. Had she said that 20 years ago they wouldn't have felt the need to cancel her show.

There is actually a large distinction between Franken and Weinstein. I'm not even sure Franken was an occasional groper as his first accuser was a buddy of Sean Hannity and lied about several aspects of her experience with Franken. Which leads me to wonder about the other accusers. While Weinstein was much more than that even if any of the allegations against Franken were true.
But the distinction wasn't what my post was about. I was replying to Slow's argument that it's OK if someone on the left does something terrible. I think my pointing out that we hung Franken and Weinstein was quite an effective reply to that argument, don't you?
You called the actions a firing squad as if Democrats were somehow harming themselves by dissociating themselves from and condemning the actions of people who did varying degrees of bad things.
I call it people being held responsible for their own actions and see no firing squads.
I honestly didn't mind him. I watched him multiple times because he often appeared on Bill Maher to give his opinions / points of view in the debates.
And since I voted for Billary 2016 - yes, if Bernie was the chosen candidate in 2016 I would have voted for him as well.
You're just being the typical partisan cuck that likes to assume everything about others. HE ON OTHER SIDE! HE EVIL! ANYTHING HE DO IS BAAAAAAAD!
Sure bud. Sure.
Call it that after losing in 2020 because we told you so.
I'm voting left - but as it stands right now, if you guys continue down this politically correct path of cuckery - were getting 4 more years of Trump.
I don't believe you're a lying moron because on on the other side. That's the narrative you need people to believe. I believe you're a lying moron because you're continuously proven wrong on almost everything you post here, and then play the internet tough guy and namecall whenever you get confronted on that.

Believe whatever you want to believe little boy. Believe in unicorn farts to supply us with fossil fuels. Refuse to believe what I say regarding voting. I have zero fucks to give you cuck boy.I don't believe you're a lying moron because you're 'on the other side.' That's the narrative you need people to believe.

Yes, it's a universal truth that you can get yourself in trouble for saying things that piss off the public. But that is not the issue here. The issue here is that the public reaction to this is very different from what it would have been at any other time in our history. It's about what's going on right now in this country, not the boring bland notion that you get fired for offending the public.
I'm not interested in Kelly one way or another. I'm sure she'll be fine. I'm more interested in why we're in a climate where we demand that someone be fired for being ignorant on an issue pertaining to race when they could be ignorant on 100 other things and the most they'd get in response is a sneer for their stupidity.
The truth is the "public" (being mainly its liberal subset) has gotten hyper-sensitive on identity issues. Politically, it plays against the left. That's the problem with it.
Wow dude.. whatever little you do have just shrunk right up inside, didn't it?Believe whatever you want to believe little boy. Believe in unicorn farts to supply us with fossil fuels. Refuse to believe what I say regarding voting. I have zero fucks to give you cuck boy.
Any particular reason? I'm not particularly a fan of his but he's clearly in fancy dress as Aladdin or something, I'm not seeing what's so onerous.
It's super secret again, lol
There are different rules, but the rules are strict for those on the left and there are no rules for those on the right. What you perceive to be the difference is actually the difference in how the subject of the scandal responds. Notice he immediately admits it was wrong to do and gives a sincere apology. That is all people are asking for in a situation like this, and I expect most people to move on and forget it now. Someone on the right would instead whine about how it was a different time and how they are the real victim and that just pisses people off more.
I watched the little rascals and had an O'Tay t-shirt. I have always thought that wearing blackface when young just looked dumb and never had a cow if a Republican did it either.
But since we're comparing Trump and Trudeau I submit this as being more relevant.
Even with DNA exoneration he still considers the five guilty.
So I have no pic of Trump in blackface. Do you have Trudeau doing the above?
