Things Booed at CPAC

[Milchshake]

The first reaction to hearing about this is great all of my enemy’s and people I hate in one place. The next is for all the crap they boo, I think about all the other things they didn’t and the fact it wasn’t talked about as validation for judging what they did boo.

I thought it was kind of horrifying. Because these are the people who have a structural advantage in the Constitution. They use this advantage to make their booing into policy. It's like a sneak peak at the Deconstruction of America.

Oh yeah of this I have no doubt. The first rule of any con the marks have to want to believe it. The problem is too many of these people are in for a rude awakening not to the things people on the left point out. But to realities too few on both sides refuse to acknowledge.

This school shooting though was the first time both sides in denial had their preview.

[Theodarzna]

I've never heard of anyone getting a good laugh out of that... Shame your link doesn't work.. I'm sure it would have revealed how truly twisted your thinking is.

Compared to taking away freedoms like some people? Yeah, Soros is definitely better than say the Kochs and Trump.

Which freedoms exactly are you talking about.

Oh by the way: the Kochs fought against the Patriot act, and continue to I might add, want to end the War on Drugs and other things.

Meanwhile the EU, backed by Soros on this I might add, is pushing greater and greater censorship of the net.

Just to be crystal clear though on something: I find the Koch brothers and their views as mostly terrible on a very significant number of things.

This is why:

UPDATE: The Maine Democratic Party supplied The Daily Caller the following statement after publication.


“For the past month, the Maine Democratic Party held public forums all over the state of Maine inviting anyone interested to come and share their thoughts on the direction of the state party. Richard Fochtmann spoke as a private citizen at a public forum and unfortunately, he used his 2 minutes at the mic to make his point with an offensive joke. Another attendee promptly stood up and called the comment out as inappropriate. During that same forum Fochtmann stood up and apologized to the group. This video has been selectively edited without the call-out or ensuing apology, and Fochtmann has been mischaracterized as a ‘featured speaker’ or ‘Democratic leader’ in order to fabricate a controversy. In truth, Fochtmann spoke only for himself.”

How about healthcare? https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/polit...are/index.html

Or how about banning abortion? http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor...he_center.html

How are we to believe conservatives aren't racists when ever they get together they start booing things such as simple immigrant naturalization and the thought that Mexicans and Americans can share ideologies? How can they be taken seriously?

gotta get in the useless jab of nonsense in huh

To be fair its more the venue maintaining insurance requirements then CPAC, but of course those deep red states gov buildings have the same rules but not the venue hangup.

They could find a place if they really wanted too and also pay the additional insurance requirements to insure such an event. Gun shows have no problem

they sure have enough $$

Alternative facts.

Yet he got the crowd laughing, admit it, if the same event had happened at a GOP event and it was mocking black male imprisonment you'd have a cow over that.

Truly a person who doesn't let facts get in the way of a good partisan story are you.

selective editing is lying (or in this case fabricating) by omission

Is it a joke? Explain it to me.

[Blade Wolf]

They said he made an offensive joke. Does offensive jokes not exist now?

[szechuan]

What Video?

[Theodarzna]

I am curious where the line is on offensive jokes. I've been told offensive edgy humour was a major no-no by the same sort that seems to be willing to believe this is a joke. I wonder if "Gas the Jews" in comments sections is a joke?

But seriously, explain it? What is the punchline? the setup? the premise?

I don't know the joke. I just believe that in comedy nothing should be held sacred.

Curious, I will remember that. Still not sure what the punchline is. My bet is its a dog whistle with plausible deniability, but hey, maybe you are right.
