Right Wing Insults & Slurs

Remember when the right wing called Michelle Obama a "tranny"? Or when Trump called Obama a foreign agent? And remember just a month ago when the same group of assholes called the survivors of the Parkland shooting "crisis actors"? Or when they called David Hogg "Tide Pod Hogg"? I could post thousands of pages of examples of this. But one two hour comedy show and they go crying like Cartman after someone taps him on the arm.

Yeah go cry me a river about your feelings getting hurt, assholes. K thanks.

who was a mayor of some small town who famously called Michelle Obama "an ape in heels"?

These far right crybabies have absolutely NO leg to stand on.

Which, by the way, my mother used to call polite courtesy. Really, they have no moral high ground in this area.

i had just turned the radio on so i heard the end of a song and then he said something like "that's called poker face, like you know, poke her in the face".

it might have been a reference to some liberal politician or someone in the news and i missed that but he played that song just so he could say that....

that shit happens all the time all over talk radio and this station not only gets to broadcast uni of new mexico games to attract advertisers, the uni even advertises on the station during limbaugh shows - touting their diversity and science!!!

about it however. What they are really doing is manipulating the media and, by consequence, public perception. They have mastered the fine art of media manipulation/public mind control for years now, beginning in the 60s when they clamored about media bias.

But then it's worth it as long as I'm the one who doesn't get hurt.
I know when my kids were growing up I always told them if somebody hurts their feelings or treats them badly then they should react by treating and trashing them worse to teach them a lesson. The best way to combat such people is to be just like them.

the way many right wingers always referred to Hillary as "Cankles", "The Witch", or "The Hag". I saw it every day in my local paper from after-article commenters. The majority of which were men.

Democrats have been too nice, I think. "Going high" they call it. Not always a good idea, going high. People like they are perceive going high as weakness.

And Wendy taps him on the shoulder and he starts crying after Cartman hurls insult after insult. That is conservatism in a nutshell. They can dish it out but can't take it!

When they reach down into the cesspool and pull up mean-spirited nasty names, the slurs are NEVER about us. Rather, they are projections FROM their own filthy minds ONTO us. In Tibetan Buddhism, we have this notion of an enlightened Buddha with mirror-like wisdom. What is it when you look into a mirror? What do we see when we look at a mirror?
