…Ah, the best kind of pedantry.

Right, and here are quotes from them:

"The Confederate vice-president, Alexander H. Stephens, had said in a speech at Savannah on March 21, 1861, that slavery was 'the immediate cause of the late rupture and the present revolution' of Southern independence. The United States, said Stephens, had been founded in 1776 on the false idea that all men are…

I mean, I lived in Eastern Europe, and no one was bitching about the statues of Stalin and Lenin being torn down. But I guess they should have been left where they were — y'know, heritage.

Jackson's great-great-grandchildren wrote an essay today calling for the statues to be pulled down. Lee thought slavery was "necessary to educate the black race," let his soliders capture African-Americans in the North so that they could be brought back as slaves, and had his own slaves whipped for trying to escape,…

I didn't want to watch it, but then I fucking gave in and watched 90 seconds of it. He cries and whines SO MUCH. Mr. Badass, who was yelling about killing liberals two days ago. He's blubbering and wiping his running nose while saying, "I called the ACLU" and "I just don't know what to do!" I mean, I don't like…

The Tiki torches thing is just still so funny, even though it's awful. "Either Pier One Imports just had a sale, or these Nazi losers are going to kill us all!"

"I've been to the subreddits." *Shudders.*

It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and APE!

In law school, I had to debate a creationist who thought that "This is just a theory" should be placed on the cover of every evolution book. I pointed out that the fact that we were in a room having a debate right now could also be considered a "theory," in a Kantian sense. What if he's just asleep right now and is…

Despite being armed to the teeth, he was whining like a bitch after he got maced in the riots. He was pouring milk over his face and ordering his minions to get him water and was like, "Why ME?"

He was so fucking pathetically excited to show them off, too, like a eight-year-old who'd just gotten the latest G.I. Joe toy.

What in the hell are you talking about?

Why, I remember when I used to read the old-paper-based A.V. Club, back in nineteen-forty-aught-zero, and they'd have articles like, "Say, now, maybe this 'Hitler' fellow ain't so great after all," when all I was looking for my was daily "Fibber McGee and Molly" recaps! Why, it really put the bees in my zoot suit, I…

It is a truth universally motherfucking acknowledged that… tits.

But Gandhi was hugely against the Pakistan thing; he went on hunger strikes to stop the violence. His strikes worked, and the violence stopped in India, but then it was too late, because assholes chopped up the countries anyway, and there was nothing could do. So yeah, assholes wouldn't listen to him, and people…

This is seriously the worst thing I've ever seen.

You mean the war where we firebombed civilians (killing 50 million of them) and refused to allow Jewish refugees into America? That war? Yeah, that went great.

Well, but Hitler only barely came to power; the majority of Germans didn't want to go to war. Like I said, it's a tough question. I did a class about this when I was teaching abroad, and people got really really mad (I did the class on it because I had to choose a topic that students could debate). …But six million…

I think a good point here is that there were only 500 Nazis at the rally. Do I think those assholes will ever be convinced of anything normal? No. I'm not saying get all touchy-feely with them. I'm just saying that of the many, many parts of this video that made me wince, one (and not the most important one) was…
