Trump called Roseanne Barr to congratulate her on huge ratings success

[Weezer]

This is where Trump scores huge points with the rednecks and yahoos of this country. You know, those who really have no idea about true patriotism

And you are the arbiter of "true patriotism"? Certain posters on this board seem to suffer delusions of grandeur.

Ha. Good find, LG.

Amazing to me that you preach character and denounce name calling, all while engaging in the activity. There's a term for that. Think it starts with an "h".

This is a great point. Imo, these so called news outlets should remove all the opinion, if they truly want to be considered news. That means partisan spin shows like Maddow,Lemon, Hannity, and the like. Also, web based opinion pieces hidden within the actual news. When you pull up Fox or CNN, a good percentage of what you read is opinion, rather than simply reporting, and it's not anyways clearly labeled as such. This was all born out of the 24 hour news cycle. News organizations needed filler for tv and internet. It all should go away. We don't need all that. Just report the news. Leave opinion to other sources. Of course, the opinion shows no doubt make more money than the straight news, meaning it isn't going to change.

Yeah and the thing I hate worse than anything is the sensationalized headlines.... then you read the story and it has very little to do with the headline.

Amazing that you fail to see Trump's hypocrisy, while calling others out for it. Typical dumb, blind Trumpkin.

Instead of lumping all posters together, try keeping straight who says what. I've never defended Trump's character. I have said it is not something for which he can be impeached. Also, for the most part, I've steered away from the name calling. You have a penchant for throwing insults into any response you make to someone who disagrees with your views. Normally a tactic employed by someone who cannot put forth an intelligent argument themselves.

 

[Weezer]

So let's just get a clear picture of all of this. Our more liberal posters are perfectly okay with Samantha Bee's comments, correct? So the entire character argument you've presented against Trump is a lie then? It's not really character you care about, otherwise you would be criticizing Bee's comments as poor character as well. The fact you're fighting so hard to defend her simply points out the falsehood of the narrative you've been spinning. It's not about Trump's character, it's simply despising the man, his politics, and his victory over Hillary. It's a hissy fit. Pure and simple.

Who is that specifically? If someone said that, you should point them out, none of this 'some people say' sht.

Or they could simply step forward(yourself included) and condemn her remarks. That would prove me wrong, wouldn't it. Why dance around with a challenge when you can outright make my statement false?

Trump frequently couches his most controversial comments this way, which allows him to share a controversial idea, piece of tabloid gossip or conspiracy theory without technically embracing it. A low character tactic.

Hilarious that you're pointing this out when just yesterday you were critical of those being mean to Melania and someone immediately made a disparaging remark about Michelle Obama's gender and you said nothing. Yeah, let's talk about hypocrisy. Get off your perch. You aren't any better.

Much like calling people dumb, stupid, idiot, twit, or any other insult. Something you tend to do yourself quite frequently.

First, I've never claimed I was better than anyone. Truth be told, I'm a firm believer in attempting to be respectful to everyone, even those I disagree with. Not saying I always succeed, I am after all, human.

Second, I never insulted Michelle Obama. If someone else did, I did not condone it. I may have looked over it, but whoever made the comment didn't receive my support for it. I don't read every post. I don't respond to every post I find offensive. It's a MB. I pick and choose my battles as I go along. Since you were so offended by the comment yourself, I'm going to assume you responded yourself.

Well that's weird, I checked the last two pages of the thread you mentioned and didn't find a single post from you. Did you not rush to her defense yourself?

Stop trying to turn this onto me. You are the one who is making the point about calling others out, when you've shown you're no better.

There have been numerous instances of Michelle Obama being ruthlessly attacked. You've never defended her once. Just stop with the holier than thou act. Makes you look foolish.

I think I did say it was ridiculous, pointless, and done for nothing more than shock value. However, her comment was in no way comparable to Barr's. Barr's comment was "racist" and that makes all the difference.

I also provided the example of Don Imus constantly saying equally crude and derogatory remarks about Hilary while she was First Lady. He never suffered any repercussions. When he called the Rutgers' women's basketball team nappy headed hos, he was fired. The difference....one came across as racist.

It's the way things are and it has nothing to do with republican and democrat, no matter how loudly republicans scream otherwise.

Barr appears to many to be a racist, that is rightfully an unpardonable sin in today's society.

If you’re so offended over whether or not Michelle has enough meat to make a horse blush, then take to the National Mall, sporting skinny jeans, a jay-jay beanie and a soy latte in hand.

Nobody cares about your feelz.

It really doesn't bother me as I expect it from the trashy, classless sleaze like you. I was merely responding to Weezer's "feelz". He's the one making the issue of it.

Actually, you’re the one complaining about Michelle’s meat. If you’re not bothered, then sit down and shut the hell up about it.

You’re the epitome of what it means to be a hypocrite. Every damn letter.

You ***** and moan more than anyone on this site about name calling, then, as if you can’t help yourself (and you can’t, you’re libtarded), you sling **** and do the very thing you’re *****ing about.

GTFO!

I was posting on the discussion of the thread regarding the comments of Roseanne Barr vs. the comments of Samantha Bee. Michelle Obama wasn't involved in the conversation until you brought her up, so I'm not quite sure how you arrive at the conclusion I'm the one making an issue of it.

The fact of the matter is you do not seem to be capable of making a strong, coherent argument to support your "feelz", so you resort to deflection and name calling. If you want to have a real conversation, let's have it. Unlike many, I'm up for being proven wrong, but I'm not going to roll over on speculation, insults, or personal feelings. Give me something concrete. If you have that, let's hear it.
