Why isn't there a white liberal pinhead month?
by nerdnam

Jillette is just another idiot who thinks he's so liberal he's allowed to trade in sexist or racist symbols. He should go back to his one trick pony of pulling rabbits out of his ass and then explaining how it's done.

He's not only insulting women, he's equating blackness with bitchiness, ie, as a fault.

This is what bugs me about so many of Obama's most fervent supporters; in one breath they defame Hillary supporters as racist rubes and in the other breath they call Hillary the 'b' word or the 'c' word. They support a candidate who calls for unity and then viciously trade in the ugliest sort of divisiveness themselves. Internal inconsistency anyone?

In one breath they claim to be the vanguard of liberalism and in the second breath they trade in the most rancid anti-Clinton smears, smears which were never about the truth, but only about destroying any possibility of liberal government. How can we have a proactive government if we can never trust anyone in the government?

Someone wrote a book called 'What's the Matter with Kansas." His next book ought to be "What's the Matter with San Francisco."

Extrapolating from Jillette to a vague "they" comes across as painting Barack Obama supporters with a rather broad brush.

For every claim you make about "many" Obama supporters I could play the game of making a counter-claim about "many" Clinton supporters. But what's the point?

Vent if you must, but be advised that it doesn't help the cause of uniting the Democrats against the real party of extremism.

Obama 08!

Jillette's an outspoken Libertarian, and certainly not an Obama supporter.

Don't let that stop you, though - tell us how you really feel.

Libertarian, smartasstarian, whatever; he still thinks he has the right to call somebody a bitch.

And why shouldn't he have that "right?"

Basically, you wrote a screed against Jillette the liberal Obama supporter. When it's pointed out that Jillette is neither liberal nor an Obama supporter, the answer is not 'whatever'. The answer is 'on second thought, maybe I don't know what the hell I'm talking about'.

And yes, he does have the right to call somebody a bitch. So do you. So do I. Watch this:

Penn Jillette is a bitch.

See how that works?

I think I can speak for all of so many of Obama's most fervent supporters when I say, how did you know we are from San Francisco?
