I can't believe we're losing to these guys. Oh wait. We're not

First of all, do you remember the Palin rallies TheMercenary? There were assissination calls, there was "fuck Obama" statements, there were also completely racist actions as well. It did not start up a controversy nearly as much as this.


There are two reasons why this is a much bigger fuss than "fuck Bush". First, "fuck Bush" is an attack on an individual who, depending on the perspective, screwed over a very large number of people while "Barack the Magic Negro" is considered an attack on an entire race of people who really didn't do anything. Second, the fact that a politician said it is what started this entire controversy. Rush Limboaugh has been playing for a while and I didn't hear anything close to this.

If Hilary Clinton was publicity caught saying "fuck Bush", then maybe you can compare the two and we would only have to debate the racist content. But no democratic politician ever said "fuck Bush" so have no argument.


Remember, this mostly started with an idiotic statement by a politician, that was the main breaking point. The racist part just made it that much worse.
