    If you watched the entire topic, like I did, you would fully understand why she did that and that it was a perfectly reasonable segment in context with everything that was discussed beforehand. But I understand that it's a bit much to think that folks the likes of you would actually take the time to understand something... or even be capable of it.

    Twitter Conservatives Having a Grand Time Making Rape Jokes
    http://littlegreenfootballs.com/arti...ing_Rape_Jokes
    Today we find the conservative movement on Twitter happily making thousands and thousands of puerile, disgusting jokes about rape, in the #LiberalTips2AvoidRape hashtag.

    You’re supposed to think it’s clever commentary on liberal hypocrisy, because those damned liberals are trying to take away the guns women need to kill their rapists. Therefore, the best way to comment on this is with a nauseating deluge of ugly, woman-hating tweets.

    I won’t bother copying any of this vile stuff; click the link above if you want to see the dark heart of the conservative movement in all its repulsive glory.

    Still waiting for the outrage from MSNBC over their darling Alec Baldwin's racist attack on an African American reporter who had the nerve to approach that mental case on a pubic street.

    That story turned out to be fake, the mods here tried to hide it though.

    By the way, what is a "pubic street?"

    You're a tad behind the times there, OmahaBeach.

    Did you watch the clip? You find this offensive? (choppiest editing ever; saw the actual program, the editing is a failed attempt to show really rough stuff. Seriously?)

    Not at all. I just don't know what 'Twitter Conservatives' have to do with an MSNBC clip. Seems to be a failed attempt at false equivalency to me (squidward's favorite phrase to misuse).

    Just becasue they are not on the audio tape doesn't mean he didn' say racist remarks. It's well known the guy has anger management issues. I totally believe he called the black guy a racist name.

    When people of limited intelligence are frustrated by those who present ideas in a way they cannot understand, it frightens them and causes them to lash out in an effort to marginalize the source of their fear.
