“If a Democrat wins, the Supreme Court will become a den of liberal inequity for decades to come.”
“Inequity”? That’s bad, right? Hmm, guess I’ll have to think about voting. November, right?
Republican ad #2
“Right now in your city, perhaps in the store you buy food in, perhaps where you buy gas, perhaps within a 1,000 feet of an elementary school, a transgendered creature is emptying it’s bladder in a bathroom stall built with government funds.” (“creature” and “It’s” used to turn up the fear and hatred of course.) “President Obama has made the claim that transgendered creatures are human beings and whoever the Democrats pick as their candidate will share these same views. If this is the kind of world you want, stay home and don’t vote.”
As a woman, if I was in the women’s restroom and this woman came in to use it, too, I wouldn’t give her second look. First, we have stalls with doors so it’s not like women or children are naked at the sink! Second, who scrutinizes the other people in the bathroom?
And I say this as someone who willingly admits to having openly walked into large men’s rooms at concerts or ball games when the line to the women’s room was waaaay too long. Always did it with a friend, never got any push back and, no, I didn’t peep at the weewees at the urinals. Of course, I was much younger then and there may have been some beer involved…
Obviously, “Giant” didn’t clarify what the company expected from their “security provider” in the matter of transgender folk. The guard involved and both companies better get their checkbooks ready, and let’s cross our fingers that the sanctions are a learning experience.
Well you took away their ability to engage in homophobia… so now they have to find a new trendy way to hate.
Some people are trying to bring racism back into vogue, but for those who aren’t ready to dive all the way back into the worst parts of American history, transphobia is the hip new hate for this election season. A sort of gateway-hate…
I’d be happy to hang on that branch until it cracks and splinters, then twist it until it comes off with a huge strip of bark. Maybe it would injure the GOP tree enough to kill it.
Considering the volume of projection, deflection, and fear of things being “rammed down their throats”, a significant portion of the GOP base may actually be in the GLBT-curious spectrum.
Avoidance of apparent responsibility is just the icing on the cake. The real benefit is avoiding payroll taxes and workers’ comp insurance. It’s the only way that Uber ( and many other internet businesses) can possibly work.
Security is a function that a solo store or small chain probably should contract out, but the company that runs this Giant store operates more than 150 stores.
