Well well well. Guess I gots me a triple shot for ya'll. And no I don't hang out all day on Huffington Post looking for these stories. I follow on twitter!
First up, we'll stay in my home state as former Attorney General Ken "CuCu" Cuccinelli attempts to tell a black man why
"black lives matter" insults white people. Because I guess black kids being shot in the street isn't offensive enough.
A panel discussion on CNN got heated Sunday when former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) argued that "Black Lives Matter" is a poor message because it makes white people feel less valued.
After former South Carolina Rep. Bakari Sellers (D) explained that as a black man, he was "the only person at this table whose next interaction [with law enforcement] may cause them to be a hashtag," Cuccinelli suggested that the "Black Lives Matter" slogan and hashtag should be amended, according to CNN footage shared by Raw Story.
"Adding t-o-o at the end puts it in a context that makes sense," he argued. Sellers answered that message is already implicit in the slogan.
"Well, you may say that," Cuccinelli told Sellers. "And there’s plenty of reason to understand that. But I don’t think every American hears it that way. They hear, 'Here we are. Yes, we have this political motivation that we're separating out this one category of Americans and saying they matter more than everybody else.'"
Sellers tried to reframe the message for the former attorney general.
"We’re saying stop killing us," he said.
"I understand that," Cuccinelli replied, "but that’s why you have the retort, 'No, all lives matter.' We’re not leaving these out."
Nobody is leaving this out. Whites do in fact get killed by police as well. But not in the numbers or frequency we've been seeing in the past year or so. That's the point of the hashtag you bleeding idiot.
Coming up next is Bobbi Jindal and how he's taking on the WBC.
By threatening to arrest them if they even show up at the funerals of the recent movie shooting victims.Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said members of the Westboro Baptist Church face arrest if they try to protest funerals in his state for victims of the Lafayette movie theater shooting.
The hate-mongering church has indicated it plans to protest the funerals, which begin Monday. The group considers mass shootings in the U.S. to be an act of God in retaliation for various sins.
John Russell Houser shot 11 people Thursday during a 7 p.m. showing of “Trainwreck,” killing Mayci Breaux, 21, and Jillian Johnson, 33, before killing himself. Houser reportedly expressed admiration online for Westboro.
"If they come here to Louisiana, if they try to disrupt this funeral, we're going to lock them up," Jindal, a presidential candidate, said on CBS's "Face The Nation" Sunday. "We're going to arrest them. They shouldn't try that in Louisiana. We won't abide by that here. Let these families grieve."
Westboro members protest funerals to call attention to their own extremist views. Jindal already has issued an executive order that attempts to block Westboro members from protesting the funerals.
"They better not try that nonsense here," Jindal said.
That "nonsense" you freaking idiot is a group of hateful people actually exercising their First Amendment rights. And, I'm not sure if you were made aware of this but, the SCOTUS also said they can protest funerals. Frankly this is just giving them an excuse to sue your state and you're falling right for it. I like what the attendees of the funeral plan to do. Make a human wall and deny them access to the service.
And last up we got to Mike Huckabee who seems to think that Obama
might actually be Adolf Hitler for some reason known only to him.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Saturday invoked the specter of the Holocaust to criticize President Barack Obama for his decision to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear program.
“This president’s foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven," Huckabee said in an interview with Breitbart News.
The presidential contender, a social conservative who is seen favorably by Republican voters, has promised to rescind the deal with Iran on his first day in office.
"This is the most idiotic thing, this Iran deal. It should be rejected by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and by the American people. I read the whole deal. We gave away the whole store. It’s got to be stopped," he said in the interview.
Huckabee currently polls at 5.6 percent in the GOP presidential primary, according to HuffPost Pollster:
Guess you gotta do something outrageous when you're polling 5.6% in primary voters.
And there you go. 3 very stupid news stories from 3 very stupid people.
Ironbite-have at it!
