No you see guys, Margaret Sanger was a huge racist because Alex Jones said so.

Lol yeah, it's all about tone. Have to consider tone when dissecting supremacist statements from a proponent of eugenics.

"We don't want word to get out that we want to exterminate the negro population."

Behold, the hero of the left. Should have her face on a stamp.

That's not the whole story. He opened up this entire thing by jumping on semantics after witty posted about new attacks against women. He didn't even comment on the validity of the content she posted. He just went into his usual distraction bs.

There'll be 10,000 people at the rally and 1,000,000+ watching on TV. It will be THE most entertaining and weirdest inauguration ever.

Trump will spin it some way, I am sure and piss somebody off in the course of doing so. Probably just blame the secret service for disallowing people this time.

Corsi and Peter debating semantics and being contrarians. What a treat. I am happy to be down to just having to scroll through one of their long-winded sprees.

Apparently his new cabinet has the highest collective IQ of all time. I am left wondering why they subjected the furniture to such stressful testing.

*ponder* Hey, this thread has been busy, what's going on in here... Oh *Blinkblink* 600+ new posts just today in this thread? F*** that.

We need a Rubecube vs CHL vs Pepsifree thread where those three can just go to their hearts content.

John Dingell ‏@JohnDingell Jan 18
Trump's cabinet picks appear to be interested in their respective departments in the same way that kamikaze pilots are interested in planes.

Quote:
John David Dingell Jr. (born July 8, 1926) is an American politician who was a member of the United States House of Representatives from December 13, 1955, until January 3, 2015. He is a member of the Democratic Party. He represented Michigan throughout his congressional tenure and most recently served as the representative for Michigan's 12th congressional district.

He began his congressional career representing Michigan's 16th district by succeeding his father, John Dingell Sr., who had held the seat for 22 years. Having served for over 59 years,[2] he has the longest Congressional tenure in U.S. history. He was also the longest-serving Dean of the U.S. House of Representatives and Dean of the Michigan congressional delegation. Dingell is one of the final two World War II veterans to have served in Congress; the other is Texas Congressman Ralph Hall, who also left Congress in 2015.[3] Dingell was a long-time member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and chaired the committee over multiple Congresses.

Yeah, this is exactly right. She posted her political views in a political thread and I disagreed with part of its content, and said so. Completely out of line on my part. Don't know what the hell I was thinking.

I don't know anything about Sanger but this the familiar tone of classic right-wing conspiracy nonsense. It's very easy to read that quote in a number of ways besides the one which you've chosen to.

Actually, there's only one reasonable way to read the quote, and that's in context. Once you do, it's obvious she meant that she didn't want the black population to get the mistaken impression that the BCFA was surreptitiously trying to wipe them out. Which suspicion would have been somewhat more understandable in 1939, one assumes.

Lol Trump couldn't get a Springsteen cover band, but Obama got the man himself to play a private, acoustic gig for all his staffers. The trolling of the orange one is quite strong.
