If you live in a bubble, sure.

Subjecting people to ideological purity tests (like this article does) is what’s suspect. You act as if the only possible way someone could not agree with Kaepernick’s protest is if they are a full-fledged bigot.

Her friendship with Scalia reflects a trait that’s now viewed as a weakness, but is actually more or less…

She’s not wrong on this point. It is similar to flag burning: a legitimate, legal act of protest that some people may take objection to (like most acts of protest).

I like a lot of what you write. This - the idea that everyone who holds differing political views than your own should be shunned/punished, coupled with the assertion that one of the nation’s most accomplished, and beloved, jurists is “dumb” for not agreeing with you - this is not your finest hour.

Yeah how dare she ever be friends with someone with a differing viewpoint! We should personally hate conservatives and not just disagree with their views!

Seriously. She’s disagreeing with them while upholding and defending their right to express their opinion.

Why? Or are you one of these people who can only be friends with people who hold the same political beliefs? How boring. And how insecure you must be in your beliefs that you can only tolerate the company of the like-minded.

I hear stuff like this and I wonder: really? Has he really “reignited” or advanced the discussion? Is there quantifiable proof? The advancement I’m seeing here is the race to see who can have the most original or creative National Anthem “protest.”

That, or some people can put aside political beliefs when establishing friendships, either staying away from that boundary or knowing what buttons not to push. Obama and Tom Coburn, for example.

Before you jump all over RBG. Just remember how hard it is to get your own grandparents just to stop saying, “Orientals.”

This is the least bad “bad opinion” I’ve heard on this.

Talking to yourself is an early sign of dementia

Miller was pretty much brought in because people bitched about Keeping It 1600 having two Obama staffers, right? Not that I think Favreau or Pfeiffer are that liberal, but I bet they felt pressure to “keep it balanced.”

This is a weak take of a far better and more interesting piece of writing.

If you can’t understand there is a difference between Republicans and Conservatives, you probably shouldn’t write about politics.  

“Miller’s piece isn’t about him being a principled conservative who wants to save his party from a maniac—do you think he would have written this if Ted Cruz”

Why is Deadspin publishing an article about Bill Simmons Flunky’s Craven Bullshit?

I was going to say he looks very skinny but I didnt want to be accused of body shaming

if you compare pictures of super bowl kaep and and modern day kaep... i think you could convince a lot of people he’s no longer a super bowl caliber quarterback and is now just a social-justice activist

Looks like a 7torm is coming to Buffalo!
