Right, because:

Mostly white grand jury decides innocence in a case that should obviously have gone to trial = THAT’S WHAT THE COURT SAID SO IT’S THE 100% ACCURATE TRUTH~!!!111!1!!!ONE!!!

Former federal judge reviews all the evidence in Ray Rice’s case and determines that Goodell is a fucking liar = NUH UH…THE BLACK DUDE IS LYING!!!1111!!!one!!!eleventy!!! and “I’ve got truth on my side.”

Rest assured, if it was Peyton Manning we were talking about here and he’d been shown on video to be in the middle of a rape spree, the idiots at Faux would be outraged at his indefinite suspension prior to any conviction, let alone Goodell’s lying.

“I’ve got the truth on my side,” Earhardt said.

This woman cracks me up. She does realize she wasn’t asked to appear on Fox because she has the truth on her side, doesn’t she?

Well as long as Goodell has been nice to your family, since that’s what really matters in all this.

(my head hurts from smashing it on my monitor)

Exactly. When a court believes the white guy, that’s fact. When the court says the white guy was lying, that just can’t be.

i hate that argument. i hate to bring hitler into this, but i’m sure there are people who used the exact same argument (he isn’t mean to me) as if it’s a reasonable argument. If someone is an asshole to someone else, then that person is an asshole. and if you’re ok with that asshole because they aren’t an asshole directly to you, then you, by association, are an asshole.

Please. Let me augment your rationale.
My better-half’s best friend’s Oma.

At a Christmas party maybe 15 years or so ago-- she told me during a conversation about her youth:

‘You know. Dat Hitler-guy? He vas really OK-- till he shtarted doink all dose crazy tings.’

Yep. Really.

Former Fox talking head Jane Skinner. Yes, this Jane Skinner:

What’s on her mind?

Oh, the perils of living in the Fox bubble. These folks really need to get out more or at least read differing views.

Goddell’s dad was a decent fellow. A moderate to liberal Republican who as a congressman voted for many Great Society initatives. As senator stood up to Nixon, introduced a bill to defund the Vietnam war and took his defeat in stride. The son could learn something from his approach.

This is the first time I heard Goodell described as anything but a detached, self-absorbed asshole…

do you really believe there weren’t people surrounding what is generally considered the monster of the 20th century and didn’t talk about what a great guy he was? shoot, there are impoverished Americans who defended Cheney for pete’s sake.
