I hate this headline. It should read,

There are not enough facepalms.

How the balls did this happen

In general, or as politicians? I don’t think that is possible, truly. What she said, to me, was obviously a no go. Totally unnecessary, unfunny, and hurtful. But your bar is impossibly high.

We already saw that, and Obama trounced her.

They were thinking that the Cult of Clinton has already shown that they’re ready to drop black issues like a hot rock if the Messiah ends up on the wrong side of them, so what’s a little casual racism between friends?

I’m not saying he isn’t liberal, but 1. you shouldn’t even imply a Democratic socialist who is very popular with 40% of your base is anything like Donald Trump, that is just fucking stupid from a strategic standpoint (even if it is a joke) and 2. he said Sanders made him look like Trump, yet he’s the one who told a…

It’s that terrible joke category of “You thought I was saying something racist but—surprise—it has nothing to do with race!” which, unfortunately, still slaps people in the face with racism by implying it and then making light of it. Sacha Baron Cohen’s short yellow people (Minions!) joke has that same form. It’s…

“Even if they did mean “cautious politician” (doubtful but maybe)”

Uh, thanks for the explanation, but we definitely get the attempted self-deprecating joke. They’re saying they’re lazy. “As lazy as black people!”

I don’t know, but I think it’s safe to say that the “joke” is so bad it can only have been written by committee. Who’s committee? Hard to say. All of them should have known better.

The should have vetoed the joke. No one is handing Hillary Clinton jokes to read off a teleprompter sight unseen. No one.

You were under the impression that Clinton had a scripted line that was set up by a spontaneous objection from Odom (who you apparently think held his objection until performance instead of at the time of reading the script)?

Micro-aggressoions to win the presidency? Hillary truly is a southerner.

Didn’t we all learn in grade school that only you can make fun of your mamma?

Is it a Latino making a joke at the expense of Latinos? Because that’s not the same thing as when powerful white people make POC the butt of their jokes.

Can we please discuss the line, “Get one guess, who’s the most liberal, I make Bernie Sanders look like Trump,” because that shit is ridiculous considering the “colored people time” joke that followed.

... I mean, his “call-out” was also part of the bit. It’s not a real objection, it’s scripted.

That made me physically uncomfortable.

Part of me thinks none of this happens accidentally. They want some outrage so they can get some votes from the people that talk about things being too politically correct, and how no one can take a joke.
