The changing face of the country

[lawgator1]

"This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic Jewish woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year old Mexican-American gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African American President." Mark Shields, PBS

sometimes, Mark Sheilds says something that belies his douchebaggery

 

[joevol320]

he's half black.

LOL. joe, I didn't know how you'd do it, but I just sensed that you would manage in some way to both miss the point entirely and be dismissive of Obama at the same time. You did not disappoint.

 

[lumberjack4]

LG, it was your side who gave us Hyphenated Americans.

 

[utvolpj]

I suppose if I had helped I would be described as an Irish-American? Did the subject of the email contain fw:fw:fw:?

 

[MG1968]

oh, and you don't eulogize the survivors, so Shields is still a moron

Is his comment supposed to be a revelation? I mean it borders on stupidity. Not because it's wrong but because it's so painfully obvious.

i didn't miss the point, i know exactly what he's saying. But this is nothing new. America has always had great people doing great things. the fact is, you liberals are the ones who have to hyphenate this country. I just see them as Americans.

Wait, she was Jewish? Wasn't the shooter reading Mein Kampf and what-not? Maybe he was just a silly anti-semite all along.

so in other words he is a democrat.

didn't you just say that we're all Americans?

That's a good point

Jews are anti-semitic? That's confusing.

only liberal jews are.

You do realize don't you that .... oh my gosh, what am I thinking? nm

Shields wasn't pleading for anything, he was making a point that a 5 year old could make, minus the eulogizing the survivors.

Any 5 year old understands Korean doctors and gay college students? That home edumacation is clearly reserved for genie-asses like yourself.

Well, if you're going to be hyper-literal today, why don't you shove....

A 5yo would probably just say doctor or student. Out of the mouths of babes...

It's awesome that minorities are afforded the ability to be doctors/presidents/politicians/etc, but it's not really the "changing face of America" per se. It's just now there's more publicity about it.
