JRs twitter from 2012, am I reading that right.  I'm not on twitter but clicked it to see.  

musicismylife78 has stood by him for ten years (since 2012), am I reading that right. I'm not on twitter but clicked it to see.  

SC posting old tweets from 2012, when this was the weekly hot topic of the day.... am I reading that right. I'm not in twitter but clicked to see.  

Nami is defending the hero we all need Joe Rogan for pushing racist conspiracy theorists because it was in 2012, which was ages ago when the internet had not yet been invented and Stanley Kubrick had not yet faked the moon landing. am I reading that right. I'm not in twitter but clicked to see.  

So now I'm such, for questioning the motive of old media clips, on both sides coming up into today's discussion/environment.  I brought this up before page 42

In reference to the Obama thing, I just remember that being the main focus in the news back in the day. That's all meant by that.

The focus wasn't whether he was actually born in the US or not.  That answer was as clear as day.  There was a birth certificate adn a friggin' announcement in the Honolulu newspaper.  The focus was on the racist campaign led by Trump seeking to discredit Obama and call him a foreigner, different, the other.  So Rogan latching onto that is right on brand with what we are seeing here.

After spending roughly five minutes going off about a now-debunked pseudoscientific theory of the “Bondo ape” — a purported Congolese super-ape that supposedly could walk upright like a human and was hyper-aggressive — Rogan took a call from a Floridian primatologist who identified herself only as “Allison.”

She countered that “there’s no such thing as a Bondo ape” — but before she could even finish her sentence, the host was jumping down her throat, calling her a “fucking idiot” and telling the PhD scientist that she should go “online” and look it up. No, we’re not making this up.

Back in reality, of course, the Bondo or “Bili” ape theory was debunked in the early 2000s when scientists discovered via DNA tests that the species actually belonged to the common chimpanzee. The credibility of the Bondo ape, in other words, lies somewhere between Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.

To her credit, the primatologist fought valiantly in the face of Rogan’s childish derision as he repeatedly called her “stupid” and suggested she was simply behind the times, citing dubious research to back up his claims.

At the end of the segment, after the primatologist was disconnected, Rogan continued to make fun of her, including mocking her for having a vagina — a preposterously sexist barb that should give anybody listening to his show pause.

"When was the last time you went online and researched primates?". Haha. 


Let me say it again: Joe Rogan is an idiot. Comes off as very uncharming in the clip.

Now imagine the "millions" of idiots who listen, watch,  believe, and spread his lies and conspiracy theories.

Spotify stock is up $14. Spotify says they will not be cancelling Joe Rogan. I find it amusing that the guy who started all this shit is a homophobe and was spreading misinformation about HIV which was 100% death rate at the time. If you can’t see the harm this is could have caused people…

What misinformation? 

Homophobe?

Why would anyone question someone tweeting that the most popular podcaster is a peddler of racist unfounded conspiracy theories.

What is there to question.

Why would Joe Rogan have this dude on? Isn't it curious:

Charles Carlisle Johnson (born October 22, 1988) is an American far-right[1] political activist who was a public figure in the years 2013 to 2019. A self-described "investigative journalist",[2] Johnson is often described as an internet troll and has been repeatedly involved in the proliferation and spread of multiple fake news stories.[3][4][5]

Johnson once posted on a Reddit Ask Me Anything "I do not and never have believed the six million figure" (referring to the number of Jewish people killed in the Holocaust) and "I agree with [Holocaust denier] David Cole about Auschwitz and the gas chambers not being real."[37]

Can someone please counter with something Neil Young has said or done, so we can balance this out!

Neil once said that American soldiers were made of tin. Very racist.

THAT guy was on JR? And he acted like "gosh is that really true?"  

If you are that stupid or naive,  you should not be on air. 

I guess we know the type of person who views Rogan as a hero now.

Him being a comedian I saw nothing wrong with this.  If this is what people consider "hateful" nowadays they might want All in the Family banned if they watched it.

I swear Daniel Tosh is just one joke away from having the book thrown at him.

Boy, talk about drawing up sides...

I am a firm believer that you can dislike Trump and still listen to Rogan.
