Discussion: Local Tennessee GOP Chair Defends Meme Mocking Ocasio-Cortez

[valgalky23]

I don’t even get it. She would never say or respond that way. I think it’s pitifully stupid.

I’m not sure if it’s a “good” joke, but I do fail to see why take offence. All of us on both sides seem primed to take offence at the smallest thing. It is in the way of getting on with life.

It’s not getting in the way of anyone’s life who doesn’t run around saying offensive things.

My late mother loved the SNL sketches with Christopher Walken as “The Continental” (although not quite as much as she enjoyed seeing Walken dance, because he is a superb dancer), especially when he offered his unseen female companion a glass of “champagna”, which she always ended up throwing in his face.

Colonel Angus is in my top five funniest skits of all time. I choke laugh every time I see it.

Question: Is every single member of the GOP a bigot? BTW, idiots, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is of Puerto Rican descent. I know, all Latinos look the same to you…idiots.

Agreed, do you remember when Don Rickles use to insult the audience and the person laughing hardest was usually the butt of the line…

Would you say that joke to a stranger?

@nickdanger

That’s actually a pretty good joke.

No, it’s not.
It’s racist bullshit promoted by a racist leader of a racist party.

So of course you approve.
Troll.

[asturcot]

Good observation…

Then again, having good social graces has never been the strongpoint of the majority…

Personally, I would not say that to a stranger…

That party chair isn’t a comedian

[asturcot]

Yes, it was inappropriate for the Party Chair, but it ranks about a 2 on my outrage meter…

[inversion]

I joke around at work (I think ‘show my a–’ is the term), but the thing is, I do it around people that I know and who I know aren’t waiting for me in the parking lot later.

Now this made me laugh. Life is certainly harder for assholes. It must seem so unfair to them.

“Allowing a few people on the left to whip up media outrage over political satire is just another example of the left manipulating the press to present their narrative as truth and all other views as wrong or worse racist,” she wrote. “The Republican Party of Williamson County will not let those outside our organization tell us what we can or can’t say.”
Ever notice how with some people it is NEVER their fault?
They couldn’t have made an error. Their perspective is never wrong, or even biased. Always ‘the left’, or ‘the media’. You’d think at some point they’d notice…

I just read a really funny joke that I’m sure TN republicans will love.

Obviously, hence my remark about social graces, which you clearly have…

@chelsea530

Cummings sends letter to WH asking for an array of documents.

That did make me laugh. I can see the chickens with their heads cut off and on fire.

[chelsea530]

Now this made me laugh, too.

Kyle Griffin (kylegriffin1)

hahahahaha!

See there’s all kinds of really humorous stuff out there.

thanks

What’s so pathetic about this “meme” is that it isn’t even mocking AOC. It’s mocking a racist caricature of her that isn’t even based on anything remotely accurate.

So intellectually bereft, so fearful, so pathetic.

79-85, The Dukes of Hazzard. What a weird fuckin show during a strange time.
