Try to discuss the content of the comments and/or proposed policies from the political realm instead of making personal comments about them. It'll be better for AMT...and it follows the Posting Guidelines.

Thank you. It's amazing and disappointing how being fuckable suddenly becomes a topic of conversation when a woman runs for office.

Please don't get the thread locked.

yes folks....he went there

I didn't know quite what you meant until I clicked on the link. Oh my hell. Click on the link, people. It's... whoa.

It's unreal. It's seriously like some of the conversations I have with my blue collar relatives in OH that have no business voting republican. Surprisingly they don't like Trump either. I don't think he's insane enough for them.

Think PJS just made it clear as to why thread was under review. I didn't get it at first but do now and understand sentiment.

NowTrump just keeps on giving. I soooooo want him to be republican choice.

NO!! He went here

"I saw someone on your show today saying, ‘Well, what do we do with BET, Black Entertainment?’ Right?" Trump asked on "Fox and Friends." "The whites don’t get any nominations."

He would have a point if the Oscars were actually the "White Entertainment Awards". But they're not, lol.
This is a really stupid issue though. People are apparently calling for affirmative action at the Oscars. So ridiculous.

I agree. I actually agree with Whoopi Goldberg on this one. She said it's not the academy's fault for there being a small pool to draw from; it's the casting people, directors, producers; she said not to boycott the Oscar's, WHO HAS A BLACK HOST THIS YEAR, boycott the movies that don't cast black actors if you have an issue with it.

and that's a reasonable response....but for a GOP Presidential Candidate to say "yeah well there's no white guys nominated on BET awards" or for him to agree with that statement....different

Well it's nonsensical. It's comparing apples to oranges.

Trump is right though. There are no whites nominated on BET. It's a true statement.
And quite a statement at that.
What if WET was a program would Trump be able to say "there are no blacks nominated on WET"?
It would be a true statement.

How is it "quite a statement"? It's a pointless statement. It's like someone complaining about how it's unfair that there is a Women's Centre on a university campus but not a Men's Centre. It ignores the fact that such things exist because the group in question is marginalized or otherwise disadvantaged and therefore requires resources to aid in raising said group to equality. The argument Trump is attempting to put forth here only holds water for idiots and simpletons.

I don't think it's weak to react to glaring double standards when it comes to male vs female politicians. I am a feminist.

No shit.And as a "feminist" have any of your past posts been even a little heavy handed toward men,people of faith or anyone who dosent agree with ur politics?
Dint go hypocritical on us

Why did you put feminist in quotation marks?
As for the rest of what you just said.... no, I have never been heavy handed against men in my past posts. I have NEVER placed double-standards against men (people of faith or those who don't agree with my politics has absolutely nothing to do with this conversation or the point I guess you're trying to make, though I'm not sure, as you're barely making sense).

rr165892

My point is.You have been in many discussions on these boards for years.I know because we have been in the same discussions many,many times together.
You have always voiced a strong opinion.Sometimes agree with you ,sometimes I think your whacked.But in the past I never remember you being so sensitive about minor goofing around issues.Espescially ones as Benine as what me and Gern were talking about earlier.But yet at the same time you can take such a firm stance on religion(and some of your opinions in the Canada Politics thread). So what I'm trying to say is it's totally cool to take such tough stances on important and hot button issues,but don't go all "JustAGrl" and get butt hurt when we are joking.Whats good for one is good for all.Nobody is belittling women.Palin is a punchline to her own joke.Shes not a great politician(fact) and she's also not bad looking(sorta).What harm is commenting on either.Go find an old Palin thread and you will see 20x worse on every thread. As she was the whipping chick for every super liberal on these boards.And I'm the one you draw the line in the sand with?
That's why I question wether your being a little hypocritical.

commenting on the fuckablity of a woman is belittling women.

She usually annoys me with her constant defense of celebs behaving badly like Gibson and Cosby but she nailed it on this one.

I think boycotting the Oscars could be considered part of boycotting the status quo practice of Hollywood.

If stated as bluntly I would agree.But hinting the same in a g rated manor is not.

No body commented on her abilities to do anything.

I certainly didn't mean to insult anyone. I didn't really think our posts were that offensive but if someone took offense then I apologize.

Let's move on to the topic at hand which is what a disaster Donald Trump and his hair are.

AND no matter what racist, shortsighted, reactionary, polarizing shizzy comes out of his mouth...he polls well. Hopefully that doesn't translate into "gets actual votes" well.
I think he completely deserves the endorsement of Palin. They're perfectly suited for each other and it wouldn't surprise me, if nominated by the Repubs, he were to choose her as his running mate.

ikiT

AND from her "endorsement"

“And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich, we’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries. Where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”

effing WOW. Squrimishes...

And how Palin's endorsement added to the carnage.
