The "Barbara Boxer is a dumb *****" thread

[Drake Tungsten]

Barbara Boxer had a great run-in with the chair of the National Black Chamber of Commerce recently. Apparently she thinks a black man disagreeing with the NAACP is a bad thing.

[Drake Tungsten]

And who can forget the great "Call me Senator, not Ma'am" incident?



Is it any wonder California is in the toilet?

[Drake Tungsten]

A golden oldie...

[DanS]

She's always struck me as a weak senator. Not really even worth making fun of. Wonder why Californians reelect her all the time.

[EPW]

Because she has a (D) next to her name? And because she is a woman?

[Drake Tungsten]

Are you too stupid to consult the video evidence?

Black people leaving the plantation is a bad thing.

In her defense, the guy was from a "racial" organization. So it doesn't seem unreasonable to put into the record the position of another organization that supposedly represents the same race.

Of course these were dumb things to say, but most people who serve in public office say dumb things at some point in their career.

That is completely irrelevant.

The guy is from a "racial" commerce organization. I'm not familiar with his actual background in commerce/economics, but despite NBCC's obvious ethnical slant, the proper thing to do is confronting him with other commerce organizations. Not with other black people.

Does it also make it reasonable to confront his view with that of Lil' Jon or 50 Cent?

Ah, but the NAACP isn't just any organization. As that one Senator stated, it has views on a broad range of issues.

And when you stick "Black" in your organization's title, you are implying that you are representing all black people. So if another "Black" organization has differing views, why is it wrong to point that out?

Of course, she should address the relevant economic issues, and she probably did after the video ended.

[Dinner]

Drake sure does love those deceptively edited and misleading political attack videos.

[Drake Tungsten]

[Patroklos]

Wow, did you just try and deny the stupidity of Boxer above Oerdin? Really?

1.) Please point out the editing of the video

and

2.) Please explain to us the justification Boxer had in bringing up the opinion of the NAACP and the 100 Black Men resolutions.

This should be fun.

For the same reason that if KH were to appear in a hearing on the topic of nuclear physics, you don't rebutt his opinion, with that of Agathon "who is also an Apolyton poster" and therefore demonstrates that "even among apolyton posters there are differing views on physics".

The fact they both are apolyton posters does not give Agathon's physical theories any credibility because he is not an expert in the subject matter, and even if he publishes physical articles, they have no weight.
