The Real timschochet

The red paint may be traditional and I’m sure the kid didn’t mean anything by it, but it’s still horribly racist, a legacy of our ugly past of stereotyping native Americans. As a society we shouldn’t tolerate this anymore.

James Woods used to be one of my favorite actors. Just like Roger Waters used to be one of my favorite musicians. They’ve both gone off the deep end in different directions…

Why should you be the one to have her?

Pretty sexist isn’t it? What if the woman is the breadwinner?

I might have gone overboard a little on the Chiefs kid. I overreact when woke gets attacked all the time. It has it excesses sure but woke (political correctness) is a good thing. We are better off as a society for it in so many ways. Homosexuals treated with equality, bad guys like Harvey Weinstein thrown in jail, black history and Native American history taught correctly, dignity for transsexuals, better treatment of minorities by police- there’s no aspect of woke that hasn’t made things better. I truly believe that. So when it gets constantly ripped as a bad thing I get defensive.

Everyone deserves the woke treatment. Because it means that everyone gets treated with dignity and respect. That’s what woke is all about.

Both pictures are highly offensive and represent the worst sort of bigotry.

This is like the 4th or 5th time today that you’ve offered a political opinion either without knowing the facts or spreading your own false version of them.

Sandmann was probably innocent but he had that annoying smirk and a punchable face. Plus wasn’t he decked out in MAGA gear? That makes him a jerk already. Rittenhouse is a punk and probably a white supramacist. He’s probably innocent too (we’ll never know for sure) but what an a$$hole for even being there. Such a little or!ck and you guys worship him. Pathetic. And this latest kid, wearing red paint which is horribly racist and you defend him? Fock him.

Hakeem Jeffries wants to kill all Jews? Just shut the fock up. Showing off for everyone to see what an idiot you’re being.

Again misinformation. The section you’re quoting is more of a historical record, much like the Old Testament, where it also says to kill heretics. Yet Jesus doesn’t say it and neither does the Talmud. You’re taking quotations out of context.

I have no idea whether you’ve been fed hateful ignorance or choosing to spread it yourself or both. But in any case what you’ve written here is completely false: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2023/10/23/the-quran-does-not-give-carte-blanche-to-commit-violence_6195379_23.html#:~:text=In the Quran%2C warlike violence,Quran%2C 5%3A32). The Qu’ran, much like the New Testament and the Talmud, only allows killing or acts of violence in self defense. Full stop. Obviously in all 3 religions there are zealots and extremists who don’t pay attention to this (and in modern times there are probably more of these in Islam, unfortunately, than in any other religion.) But it’s not in the Qu’ran.

You know I disagree with you often but the one thing I’ve very much admired in our discussions on this subject is your sense of moral clarity. I wish you would apply it here. You cannot dismiss Trump’s comments because he “said things in a stupid way”. He says things in a very deliberate way, and the hatred of Muslims that he is spreading is leading to violence against them. If we are to condemn some college students for their anti-Semitic remarks (and we should) then we must also condemn Trump and those who agree with him on this issue. Morally there is no difference.

Did they do any ELP covers? I watched a video of them performing Karn Evil 9 from a few years back and it was terrific

Comments like these encourage right wing extremists to shoot Muslim students.

No. The Palestinians have a history that is just as old as Germany and Japan (well maybe not Japan but relatively in the same ballpark.) Hamas is savage for sure, but so were the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese. None of them come from a savage culture.

Is there a leading Presidential candidate calling for the exclusion of Jewish immigrants to the USA? Not only is the Islamophobia just as bad or worse, it’s sanctioned by the leader of the GOP.

3 Palestinian students shot in Vermont: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/11/26/us/palestinian-students-shot-burlington-vermont/index.html The Islamophobia right now is as bad or worse as the anti-Semitism…yet it does not receive the same level of attention or condemnation.

The law clerk that Trump is raging against on Truth Social, despite being warned by the judge not to mention her, is averaging 20 harassing phone calls a day and dozens of death threats. Explain to me again why Trump isn’t in jail for contempt?

The reporting over the weekend is that Joe Biden was heavily personally involved in the hostage deal, pressuring Netanyahu to accept, that certainly doesn’t seem to match the image presented here of an incompetent doddering idiot.

1. It’s certainly a step in the right direction. 2. I don’t give Biden credit for lowering fuel prices. My point was that if they were higher you guys would blame him for it.

He’s actually neither. It’s far worse than that. He’s aware of what he’s writing.

So Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were civilized? The Holocaust, the Rape of Nanking, the Bataan Death March and all the rest were products of a civilized culture? I think you would have a lot of trouble proving this argument

Also your use of the word lynching, much like your Nazi analogies, is really offensive. You obviously have no sense of history or you would never do this.

It’s always a little annoying when you keep telling me what I think. I don’t like the kid, think that he had no business being there, and also think that he MIGHT have been guilty of murder (we will never know). But I also wrote at the time that had I been on the jury I would have been forced to acquit him. Apparently you’ve forgotten that. I would have been forced to acquit because I had no idea what actually happened. Unlike you who swallowed everything you were told by this kid and the right wing media as gospel. You spent your time calling him Kyle- really nauseating.
