Democrats are finally taking the baby steps towards the platform they always should have had (http://www.motherjones.com/… )

Ah, Portland and its dirty dirty hippie environmentalist college students. I can see it

Wait, there was an audience? I ask only somewhat jokingly, my theater really was empty save for one other guy near the front, I wonder exactly how watched it was, or if it wasn't really watched in itself, but the promotional circuit got the idea on a lot of people's minds…

Are you seriously forgetting the boob explosion in the original "The Inconvenient Truth"? I only saw it once in a nearly empty theater when my grandparents took me 11 years ago, and I remember that clear as day

"We're equal opportunity! We call people f*ggot, but we also use the real, existing, equivalently hurtful slur for straights as well. The same way it's equally hurtful to Blacks when you use the 'n' word as it is to whites when you use the word 'cr*cker'! Equal opportunity offensiveness, can't call us out, we truly…

I've seen enough "both sides are bad", or "I'm not a bigot, I make fun

Isn't the whole point of this article that this alternate history isn't very fucking creative? Like, that's the whole complaint.

"'But the Civil War failed to resolve the underlying issues, itself' - black people living between 1877 and [THE PRESENT]"

Well, except for the conservatives who imagine minorities raping their wives and daughters while masturbating and/or writing public policy

Because really, what is a greater indication of American liberal weakness than "we have complete control over the greatest source of hatred and violence in our country as an occupied territory, and we can force it to do anything we want because we both fucking destroyed them while rallying the rest of the country…

To be fair, it's not like they were out of line with many of the Founding Fathers (or the Constitution… that 3/5ths Compromise…).

It's like if welfare were people!

That said, had the guy proceeded to actually go club a black person, the act of grabbing the bat becomes waaaaaaaaaaay less badass

Well, assuming it's a white neighborhood anyway
