so Cracked had to shed light on our racist clown.

[StrangerGuy]

So death threats are OK to people who make fun of Obama, but death threats to Obama isn't. Eh, what happened to the 1st Amendment again?

 

[justoh]

Who would care if someone "misidentifies" someone else as racist? Probably a racist, or someone who amounts to someone who's a racist: a generally stupid person.

The same kind of person who would react childishly to this point i've attempted to make. Why does it matter to you if someone thinks you're racist or calls you racist when are aren't?

Seems like the reasonable response to being falsely accused of racism is a sincere statement of denial. It would be a lot more convincing than further evidence of either racism or general stupidity.

He claims he did the "same act" with other presidents, but offers no proof.

And please don't make derogatory statements because you aren't smart enough to refute something with debate and facts. You are very juvenile for your age.

 

[DominionSeraph]

Seems the point here is the sources of conservatard faux outrage are getting more and more reputable. We're now at a Cracked.com blog post full of swear words.

Clowns indeed.

 

[cubby1223]

That article is worse than the ones it attempts to mock.

There's video of the act, morons. Nobody's going by a Facebook post that it happened.

Wow do you have a serious reading comprehension problem!

No wonder you run around the forums acting all confused and irritated at posts - you haven't the slightest clue how to properly interpret the English language...

WWJD? Im pretty sure he wouldn't say that.

 

[DominionSeraph]

Wow do you have a serious reading comprehension problem!

You have a serious problem following lines of support. A conservatard getting into a huff over an aspect of a poorly written cracked.com blog article is not a reason to respond to said huff as though it has solid basis in fact. So I will comment on the aspects that amuse me.
That this is beyond you is not my problem.

The whole thing was the 'progressive' mentality playing out exactly the way it always does.

Everything is about going emo and reacting blindly like a spoiled 2 year old, nothing is about rational thought, logic or facts.

This. It's the problem when you're not mature enough to be wrong about something, everything gets shaped around what you want something to be regardless of if it is or not. The mentality of folks likes this who get into power destroys lives and causes suffering. Progressives are the standout example of this mentality, but plenty of it occurs throughout the political spectrum.

Politicians and economists are wrong more than they're right, how often do we see them admit they were wrong so they can stop doing harmful things?

Nobody has the courage to be wrong, rather to admit being wrong, anymore.

Ooh yes, please tell us how our extreme hubris is blinding us to the fact that the Earth was created 6000 years ago by an invisible wizard who lives in the sky. Show us the error of our ways, oh wise one!

blah. this thread has been done.

It has links to pictures of it done to bush and clinton.

But I thought the point of the link was that a single unreliable source was behind the examples cited. In short, at the circus act given, only one person tweeted upset of the many who attended.

A parallel statistical example, I think, would be, say me coming to P & N this morning, seeking to fill a few minutes with entertainment and posting my amusement in this thread, among the vaster majority who came here to post their outrage.

The lesson, I think, that needs to be drawn, is that the circus and the internet have a different relationship to clowns. In the former we go to see them and in the latter we come to be them, generally speaking.

There is that, the internet is a constant source of bemusement.

Actually the clown was done by people like the OP who had to have his head on the metaphorical pikestaff. If short one of those a tree and a length of rope would have sufficed.

What if one component of insight is the acquisition of knowledge we do not want to have, say that we create what we fear? The problem then would be to know how we do that, how do we create what we fear and what is it that keeps us from seeing it.

Or consider, if you did know the answer, had the unpleasant insight, how would you tell others? Would it be best to sting the sightless like a bee with some mirrored comment, much like a joker might prick the conscious of a king, or maybe express the date as a factual scientific thing. But no matter what one does, there remains the problem of this theoretical motivation I suggest we have, that still makes us not want to see.

A world where we create what we fear, I would suggest, could be accomplished by seeing what we believe. Who, for example, ever questions their belief. What a mess we would be in if, as rational beings we proclaim to believe only what we see, and not at the same time know that the only thing we see is what we have already come to believe.

The really sticky part, of course, is in knowing the nature of what we believe if the facts are that we really actually believe only what we truly feel. How will the joker inform us that we are not aware of that? Poor, poor, joker. No matter what way he may seek to deliver his prick, he will be called one for doing it.

But if life is really a circus perhaps the best medicine there can be is to laugh. And he laughs best, I think, who works to sever his attachment to whatever he believes.

If the unconscious hatred of self leads to the unconscious hatred of life, we are going to see a lot of negativity and we are going to create it too, because, if we create what we fear, it's what we always do. So perhaps it might benefit to hold some of that contempt aside and reserve it for the part of the self that believes this crap. It won't make us stop hating the world, but it might just make it possible to let go of the certainty that what we believe having any reality other than that we believe it. We are stuck in a circus act with brooms up our ass and it is that vision that we externally deny but inwardly deeply accept.

I love you Hay. Forgive us our brooms as they are forgiven in heaven.
