LOLOL
2010’s “Spirit of Anne Frank Award” recipient doesn’t.
And as a Jewish woman (yup, shockingly enough, I’m still using that, even though you’ve expressed your belief that you have more right than me to define my ethnicity and religion)I don’t find it terribly amusing, either.
I fully expect you’d be first in line with your picket sign if Barack Obama ran on the platform that communities that disagree with pedophilia should be permitted to ban Catholic churches. And you’d be absolutely right about that. But it’s a pity that your right-ness extends to the civil rights of people whose religious experiences fit into one narrow little box.
What has Herman Cain ever said that was racist? He’s a black man, for crying out loud.
I suspected the word your were look for was “bigoted”, which applies to religious discrimination. In that, he is guilty as charged, which is one reason I don’t support him for President, the other being sheer inexperience. Had he been leading our side in the recent debt negotiations, things would have gone very badly.
1) Not recognizing racism when you see it
2) Black/white race dichotomy
3) Belief that black people can’t be racist
4) Failure to understand that belief 3 is in and of itself racist
5) Belief that Islamophobia is only about religion, not about race or culture.
You should run for President… I hear there are some Western Conservatives who’d happily endorse.
As far as #5, I just don’t know what kind of whacked out world we live in where fiscally sane people are labelled as terrorists, yet every time someone shouts “Allah Akbar” and shoots up an army base or flies a plane into a building, it’s an “isolated incident” and has nothing to do with radical Islamic ideology.
I’d run for President if it were possible, just so people could call me “former presidential candidate bjwilson83” for the rest of my life. 🙂
I’m pretty sure he posted part of that about two days ago. Or are you guys all in a G+ circle giggling about the next silly accusation you’re going to make about liberals?
I’d play ball but I’m out of time for today, cause I gotta go watch the Rockies play ball.
the stupid hurts
It’s just that black Republicans can’t. The real racists are the ones who talk about racism.
And no, don’t try to be clever, I’m not talking about racism. I’m talking about talking about racism.
You owe me a keyboard <3 and a new coffee.
and for once again displaying the depth of your ignorance. We are enriched.
… you’ve made me look creepy by making me laugh out loud at my computer screen at least 3x while I’m supposedly working in a coffee shop. Looking this creepy, people probably think I’m BJwilson.
New career in stand-up?
I’m carried around by servants who are fired if I ever touch the ground. It’s how Republicans do job creation.
Not with all the pizza that would have been sent in. Negotiations always go better when the negotiators are well fed.
b/c that makes a lot more folks come to an otherwise boring meeting!
but thanks for that link. That is a beautifully written op ed piece that I’m book marking for future reference. Absolutely brilliant and poignant.
Cain #1: asked “Would you be comfortable appointing a Muslim, either in your cabinet or as a federal judge?” he answered without qualification, “No, I will not.”
Cain #2: supporting efforts to bar an Islamic center from being built in Tennessee because — get this — those Muslims building their own place of worship is “an infringement and an abuse of our freedom of religion”
Cain #3: “based upon the little knowledge that I have of the Muslim religion, you know, they have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them”
Of course, Cain #3 is just like BJwilson’s own little hatemongering, “when Mohammed came along the sanctity of life went out the window,” and also BJ’s insult of every prior religion by declaring, “education started with Catholics.”
BJ, condolences on Palin not running for Prez, but in Herman Cain you have the rare honor of getting to support a bigot and theocrat every bit as vile as you are.
Such libel should not be tolerated on this site.
….You know, truth has always been a legal defense against libel…
You’ve proven my point.
is the same as criticizing all of us, which is the same as the Holocaust, which is the same as thinking of eliminating one of the tax breaks I have that you don’t even know about. Knock it off, Nazi.
Ooh! Ack! Stop! Teehee! Oh, I’m going to die laughing!
… you seriously are elevating right-wing trollery to high performance art.
Nazi too? You guys still smarting over the debt deal which actually doesn’t even do much?
Thanks!
… it’s especially harmful and therefore punishable; you’d like it there.
But please feel free to elaborate what part of what I said is a factual falsehood. Otherwise, my friend, you’ve committed the libel by making the factually false accusation that I committed libel. Of course, I’m not going to argue that you should be banned for that, because I’m not a whiney little baby begging for more powerful folks to fight my enemies for me, like you do on this site.
“he’s a vile anti-Muslim bigot and neanderthal theocrat just like you!” What is it with the lefties and name-calling these days? First a terrorist and now this? You’re coming unglued. This is factually untrue. I just explained how I don’t
support Hermain Cain because of things you just listed.
“Of course, Cain #3 is just like BJwilson’s own little hatemongering, “when Mohammed came along the sanctity of life went out the window,” and also BJ’s insult of every prior religion by declaring, “education started with Catholics.”
It is not an insult of every prior religion to point out the historical fact that Catholics started schools in the middle ages when no one else was educating people. Furthermore, it is untrue that I am a hate monger, and it is also historical fact that Mohammed started a group that killed a lot of people.
“condolences on Palin not running for Prez”
Not libel, but also untrue.
“But in Herman Cain you have the rare honor of getting to support a bigot and theocrat every bit as vile as you are.”
So take that, you vile hatemongering anti-Muslim bigot and neanderthal theocrat and in-case-you-didn’t-hear-me-the-first-time vile bigot and theocrat.
Kidding, but don’t you see how insensitive your statement was?
There are so many good siggable quotes in that.
Just be sure to correctly source all the nasty stuff to raymond. I’d be tempted to come to the game just for kicks but I live too far away.
Game doesn’t start til 6:40 PM… you could still make it… I seriously want a photo of BJWilson sitting in the middle of a throng of young Democrats. Preferably with a Palin button or something.
It’d be like Where’s Waldo, but with more beer.
Me too, as long as they didn’t tear me to shreds. And with beer in the mix, that’s not something I want to bet on, given what a vile hatemongering bigoted neanderthal theocrat Nazi terrorist they seem to think I am. I do indeed have a Palin button though.
Kumbayaaaaaaaa….
I have one of those too….. though I never called it that.
BJ may be awesome with the hate, but not so much with the irony.
And I never said you DO support Cain, just that you SHOULD, because you’re two peas in a hate-pod. What you really should do, actually, is run for county chair of “Colorado for Cain” or something; that race, I bet you might have a shot at winning, if just because you and your mom/principal might be the only voting members of that particular party.
remember when you said this?
Or this?
How about this one? This was a real winner:
And finally, here’s this nugget:
This adds up to a lot of vile, anti-Muslim bigotry. Remember: it ain’t “name calling” when it’s an accurate description, you vile, anti-Muslim bigot.
There were various anti-Catholic remarks in the diary where I found those quotes, but I don’t need to bother with those.
Clearly, you misunderstood Wilson.
He probably meant something else.
Although, that “demons” thing is curious.
What would he say about Hagee, and 7th Day Adventists, and others who claiim the Catholic Church is “The Whore of Babylon”? Or those idjits who protest at dead vets’ funerals. Or the snake charmers, or any of thousands of other self proclaimed “Christian” believers who have ….surprising beliefs.
http://answering-islam.org/Sil…
What makes you think that you’re a Quran scholar after reading a few pages of the Islamophobia version of StormFront? At least read it yourself.
But Joseph Smith hears Moroni and launches a new religion and that’s …. not demonic.
Moses gets the burning bush and that’s just fine.
See, if you agree with Wilson, it’s not demonic, it’s holy and good. If you disagree with Wilson, you are evil and following demons. Got it.
My point was that Muhammad himself thought he was demon possessed. And I don’t know where you got the idea that I ever said Moroni was not a demon. There’s stuff about Mormonism that I don’t like as well, such as polygamy, the Warren Jeffs types, etc. But, for the most part, they leave outsiders alone instead of, say, blowing them up in the name of Moroni in an attempt to punish non believers.
As far as Moses, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and probably even Mormons believe that it was God, so I think you’re on the wrong side of that one. 🙂
It seems like “demons” was a translated figure of speech that Mohammed was using to describe the fear and awe he felt being addressed by Gabriel. But I don’t know- because I don’t know.
Sure, you don’t like “stuff about Mormonism” but you’re not describing Smith as hearing demons.
And I never said anything about what my belief is regarding the burning bush, Moses, or anything else. Si yu have no idea whether I am on the wrong side of anything. I was talking about your insistence that your understanding is superior – which even if it was , it would still be politically and publicly irrelevant unless and until the US Constitution is amended to allow the kind of religious litmus test advocated by some, say Herman Cain.
But I will say this – as a young person I was educated by nuns and priests who talked more than a little about the fear of God. I think I was still six years old when I passed the millionith hearing of the admonition that God answers all prayers – and sometimes the answer is no. I suspect your faith is more about a warm and fuzzy forgiving Lord than was that of my educators, though likely you are no less willing to judge.
Good luck with trying to convince Beej that Catholics know anything about Christianity . . . as far as he’s concerned, you idol worshippers are nearly as goofy as Smith and his salamander.
has no room for distraction.
Frank Gaffney has proof that the Herminator is in cahoots with the Muslim Brotherhood.
ThinkProgress interview: Frank Gaffney’s Latest Conspiracy: Herman Cain Actually Met With A ‘Prominent Muslim Brotherhood’ Group
To be fair, Gaffney also flags Elena Kagan, David Petraeus, and even Grover Norquist for their secret MB meetings. Now we can add Herman to the jihadist travelers group.
Or maybe Gaffney just thinks all minority Presidents or President wannabees are secret islamic jihadists.
Anyone who signs a petition for peace in the middle east via a two-state solution, or who wishes the Israeli’s and Palestinians could work things out peacefully, gets labeled a “self-hating Jew”. Apparently, unless one’s heart is full of hate, you’re suspect. When I first got on the list, it was so small, I was on the same page as peacenik Richard Gere. That made me feel very honored. Years later, there are thousands of names on it. I’m in pretty good company.
http://www.masada2000.org/list…
Signing a petition made me a member of a group with a name that sounded something like, “Americans for a Peaceful Resolution in Israel”. I can’t even remember it’s name anymore. See, if you don’t hate one side or the other in any particular issue, you must hate yourself.
most American Jews have joined us on the two state solution, land for peace side. Not to mention most Israelis. That self hating stuff is so yesterday.
Pass me a petition?
people (pl.?) at Coloradans for Palin. That 1% showing at what was essentially a teafest, coming right upon the heels of her box office smash, is reflective of your strong political skills and instincts.
Way to show ’em guy(s?)!
Thus Palin got 100% of the vote. Victory! It’s funny to watch you libs running scared.
Palin could do a better job as President in even half a term than Obama could in two terms. (We’re going to sell bumper stickers with that slogan when she wins the nomination.)
During my recent travels, IВґve seen two 2012 presidential bumper stickers. An Obama 2012 in Washington, DC. And, a Herman Cain 2012 in Orlando, FL.
The Obama sticker was on a Volvo-type car.
The Cain sticker was on a beatup old minivan with bald tires.

for Cain, Bachmann and Santorum.
Are Republicans really that anxious to hand us a second Obama term?
Awesome!
n/t
He’s shown himself to be an extremely competent and reliable Republican whenever push comes to
shovesurrender . . .Obama could give us 99.999% of what we wanted and he’d still be Hitler to us.
and he’d still be the black Hitler.
You have 100% of what you want economically and militarily. Keep whining and you get the time out. So it’s really only the gays, the lady parts and poor people.
Gays should get back in and stay in the closet.
Women should just do what you want, when you want, the way you want.
And poor people choose to be poor, they should just live with their choice.
“I am an American, Black, Conservative. I don’t use African-American, because I’m American, I’m black and I’m conservative. I don’t like people trying to label me. African- American is socially acceptable for some people, but I am not some people.”
” Most off the ancestors that I can trace were born here in the United States of America, and then it goes back to slavery. And I’m sure my ancestors go all the way back to Africa, but I feel more of an affinity for America than I do for Africa. I’m a black man in America.”
Herman Caine
… unlike that moron Mark G.” – Herman Cain
How would he feel about being called “tar baby”?
vague insults aren’t evidence of racism
there is no racism
except you’re a racist for criticizing a black republican
please direct any follow-up questions to mark g, oracle of racial knowledge
Shoot the messenger, don’t touch the Caine quote. Liberal S.O.P.
I mean, if you love our country and its Constitution, how do you get around that and still support Cain for President?
I’m sure bjwilson83 has a tortured rationalization.
There are Boy Scout troops out there that are predominantly Muslim, with Eagle Scouts. Patriotic Americans all. But I guess according to Herman Cain and his supporters, these tropps are nothing but Al Qaeda sleeper cells.
Shariah law demands the establishment of a “Cub Scout Terrorist Victory Den” after every significant conquest . . .
They make the little guys sit around in tents and smoke hookahs and recite the Koran until they hate all of our American freedoms. Their Eagle Scouts get to be Eagle Scouts by snaring, you guessed it, an eagle — and eating it, after it’s been roasted over a open fire of American flags.
