A shocking new poll reveals that 89% of the GOP are conservative honkies. Shocking, I tell you!!
Another poll shows that a majority of conservatives don’t know that Stephen Colbert is joking. I can’t even be shocked anymore.
Someone who CAN still be shocked? That would be rapper Eminem who got a mouthful of Sacha Baron Cohen’s taint at the MTV Movie Awards.
Let’s see…Eminem…homophobic? Much?
I thought he appreciated that sort of “bum is on your lips” humor.
It is disparaging to see the use of such slanted terms on the Mercury.
“Anti-Abortion Nut” is the same as saying “Angry Black Man” or ” Drunk Indian” or ” Meth-addled White Trash”
It enforces an ugly stereotype. Realize, there are many progressive pro-life Portlanders including myself who do not appreciate our newspaper of choice to take such a lop-sided editorial view that they will not even acknowledge our existence until a person who identifies themselves as pro-life commits a violent act. It is like Foxnews only reporting on the Palestinian ‘terrorists’ when they are launching rockets against Israel not a word about the day to day terror of Israel’s policy of apartheid and overwhelming retaliation.
So to reiterate, yes there are many progressive pro-lifers out there and we would appreciate if you acknowledge our existence with more respect so that if we are to work together as Obama has said to reduce abortions our relationship will not be based on conflict, misunderstanding and distrust.
But doesn’t Eminem make you re-evaluate your pro-life position one iota?
Ack! Seeing him shamble off into a pouty-boy tizzy fit really made my day! Ball-sac, meet ball-sac!
