Facebook gives you a red flag, which lets you know some activity has taken place.

You can’t save this one, b-cup.

Seemed like a bigot trying to weasel out of her own words.

Maybe so, but you’ve never posted a response to something here and then found another comment had posted in the meantime?

I suggest it’s the reason that we each started our last posts by reposting the comment we are taking about. So people know which comment your addressing.

If she had said something more definitive like: “yeah, government is too big’ or ‘yeah, we do need to take the country’, there would be more information to know her intent.

I don’t know how facebook works, but is it possible that she did not refresh the screen between comment one and comment two (as it happens here at TP)?

If they come only when the screen is refreshed it makes the explanation very plausible.

Despite that plausibility, there is still a problem in that the objectionable commenter is a ‘friend’ on her network.

What is not covered in the TP thread is the rebukes from the other posters on the site:

It didn’t take long for other posters on Shay’s page to do the math. First, Derek Moss wrote “What’s disheartening is the use of the word ‘coon’ in 2009. Wow… I’m usually outnumbered about 500-to-1 on Audra’s threads so go ahead, lemme have it, I deserve it.” He apparently expected to be criticized as among this crowd for calling out the racist comment.

Cassie Wallender, a national committeewoman from the Washington Young Republican Federation, then wrote: “Someone please help a naïve Seattle girl out, is Eric’s comment a racist slur?” She answered her own question one minute later: “Okay, why is this okay? I just looked it up. ‘It comes from a term baracoons (a cage) where they used to place Africans who were waiting to be sent to America to be slaves.’ THIS IS NOT OKAY AND IT’S NOT FUNNY.”

This was followed soon after by the chairman of the D.C. Young Republicans, Sean L. Conner, who wrote “I’m really saddened that you would support this type of racial language. ..wow! Thanks Cassie for standing up…”

“Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Seemed like a bigot trying to weasel out of her own words.

If she was responding to the racist comment, she should be relieved. If she was responding to the other comment, she should not.

Writing a response to one comment and finding another comment posted by the time yours posts happens here every day.

Her explanation seemed swift and plausible.

Unfortunately, this was a predictable outcome of the bigotry and hate-mongering perpetuated by the McCain/Palin ticket and the RNC during the 2008 campaign. These racist and right-wing extremist nut-jobs feel that the GOP mainstream has their backs.

She comments on items without reading them.

Should fit right in with Palin and Jindal.

Please don’t make fun of the Shay womans appearance. As far as transgendered operations go–I would say it would probably be considered a success!

(snarking accomplished!)

In the view of each of them, from the most backwards dumbass hinterlands cracker to the best educated southern gentleman holder of high office, there is no civilized restriction on their behavior. They see no reason to subscribe to American values of equality. They feel no need to put up a front of social decency. Their most finely developed skill is a sort of self-hypnosis by which they can accept their own hypocrisy as a proper perc of cleaving to their Good Book while never living up to a word in it.

These unthinking authoritarians have no use for the Constitution which is the United States, and in their efforts to destroy it are engaged in treason as well.

Women who pay thousands of dollars in a month for makeup and spray tans, but spend little on food and consider ice cubes a solid meal are the definition of morons.

People all over the world starve because it is out of their own control, but these beauty twats starve their minds on purpose.

But I only feel 28!!

I can’t remember the last time I felt someone that was 28.

PEACE
