Conservative double standard

[cindy CD/TV]

The difference is that Schulz was publicly reprimanded by MSNBC and there were some who called for him to be be fired or resign. Meanwhile Bolling, who has a history of making racially charged comments, continues to be on air and not once has anyone at FNC, such as his bosses, come out and reprimanded him for his language. There just are no consequences for conservatives when they make remarks like Bolling's.

Um, you should put air quotes around "publicly reprimanded." They HAD to issue some form of "repudiation" because to do otherwise would confirm what most non Kool-Aid drinkers know already: NBC & MSNBC are virulently anti-conservative to the point of ridicule, lying and name-calling. Remember, Schultz set up his own punishment. The network, if it was serious, would've sacked his sexist ass before his radio show was even over.

I've seen quite a bit of Eric Bolling's stuff on FoxBiz (and if you don't get FoxBiz ... DEMAND IT!!! ), I have never, ever seen anything that I would consider racist. I suppose, if one looks hard enough, someone could interpret racism in just about anything. Hell, Rick Sanchez on CNN once referred to Obama as the "cotton-picking president." Seriously. Google it. I hate Sanchez, but I will admit he wasn't being racist -- although one could easily interpret it as such -- it was just a VERY BAD choice of words. The mainstream media didn't say shit about that. It was only after Sanchez made anti-Semitic comments about Jon Stewart that he got the ax.

"We call things racism just to get attention. We reduce complicated problems to racism, not because it is racism, but because it works."

- Alfredo Gutierrez, former gubernatorial candidate State of Arizona, community organizer, activist, political consultant, as quoted by Richard de Uriarte, The Phoenix Gazette, March 14, 1992 (quoted in The ProEnglish Advocate, 1st quarter, 2002).

Exactly right. Tea Party members get called racist in the mainstream media all the time -- or at least they used to up until the last election. If Tea Partiers are racist, I have yet to receive my standard-issue white cape and tall pointy hat.

Why hasn't Fox Business' Eric Bolling been fired yet. What if a left-wing talk show host or politician were to say what Bolling said? He would have been fired or been forced to resign. This guy has a history of racially charged comments. The right can make remarks like this because there are no consequences for conservatives when they talk like that. Simply put, a liberal wouldn't have survived had she/he done stuff like this.

I fucking hate Bolling, but this is a non-story if I ever saw one. Bolling's a Wall Street douche bag...he behaved as he was supposed to.

Until Conservatives demand that Bill Maher be fired from HBO, there's no double standard. Just whiny bitchery.

^ A little gift for Bill Maher ... :thefinger

There is a double standard: Weiner was forced out because of his sexts and pictures, but Republicans like David Vitter and John Ensign managed to stay in office even though they broke the law.

I hate conservatives. They are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical jagoffs. They are the worst when it comes to double standards and stupidity. Let's evaluate.

1) According to conservatives gays are destroying marriage. Even though almost all marriages in America are between straight people and over half of those end in divorce somehow the gays get blamed.

2) Conservatives want less government intrusion in our lives yet they want the government to ban things like violent movies and pornography. This is were conservatives often prove they just want government when it forces people into doing what they want.

3) Conservatives now want people to be drug tested in order to receive benefits from the government. This is mostly because they believe anyone who is unemployed is a dumb lazy black on drugs. Also this goes against wanting less government intrusion.

4) Conservatives are often pro-life AND pro-war. They are against abortion because they call it murder yet they have no problem bombing an afghan wedding and killing tons of innocent people.

5) Conservatives want to do away with the EPA. Yes because clean air and water is over rated. Conservatives want us to be like China when it comes to the environment.

I could go on all day but those are just 5 ways to point out how fucking stupid conservatives are.

Liberals are far worse.

gays are destroying marriage, less government intrusion in our lives, pro-life AND pro-war, do away with the EPA.

Yes. :hatsoff:

 

[MikeyK]

Yes. :hatsoff:

Of course. You are exactly what I'm talking about. A conservative that has a profile on a porn site. Thank you for proving my point.

 

[Straight Shooter]

You keep saying that, can you provide examples as I have?

I am not a Democrat nor a Republican. I am for freedom.

You proved my point. :hatsoff:

You keep saying that, can you provide examples as I have?

If you can't see it right in front of your face then I can't help you.

Conservatives want less Government intrusion, yet they don't want gays to marry, don't want to let women decide for themselves if they want an abortion or not, don't want weed to be legalized (even for medical purposes), hell, they don't even want us watching porn... and the list goes on and on, not to mention the fact that they don't accept you if you are a non-theist or even non-Christian for that matter and are highly oppressive when it comes to rights for immigrants, legal or not. They only want less "intrusion" when it's only convenient to them, and that is the biggest hypocrisy ever.

It's ok though, progress always wins. Abolishment of slavery, Civil rights, women's rights and soon Gay rights, non-theists and immigrants rights will win. No matter how long it takes, Social Liberals who believe in equality and freedom for all will win. The conservatives can try and oppress minorities as long as they want but history shows that progress will win, eventually, us libs just need to keep fighting the good fight.

I am for freedom.

Now now. Such behavior is rebellious. Freedom means you wish to break away from the socialist mass...........they will not allow that to happen.
Liberalism is about crushing your national identity in favor of someone else's. Now drop that "freedom" garbage comrade.

I said I can't help you if you can't see it.

I think we got our answer. Great way to duck the question though.

You will have to take your own blinders off.

You know nothing. Take your blinders off.

 

[mr. jizz]

I don't have "blinders", you however seem to have crazy, paranoia, irrational earplugs.

 

[Straight Shooter]

Once again, can you please provide some examples of liberals being worse than conservatives when it comes to double standards?:horse:
