Fascinating to speculate who would commit political suicide
Posted: Jan 21, 2016
No Democrat legislator or governor who wants to stay in office would do it, that's for sure.
I'm guessing Sean Penn or Louis Farrakhan. It's a tossup.

I am thinking more in terms of Elizabeth Warren. - nm

Using a racial slur is not funny - sickening - nm

Yeah, I can't stand Warren but I wouldn't use that terminology - anon

Why not? Faux = not real, fake. Claimed to be an Indian - but wasn't. It's ok by me.

Insulting others on the basis of race - says a lot
[ In Reply To ..]I note most racism comes from right wing conservatives, even though they constantly deny it. Perhaps because they do not understand it.
You'd be the one who doesn't understand it. Last I checked (sm) - me again
[ In Reply To ..]Native American is not a race. I can recognize a liberal a mile away. They love to cry racism even when there is none.
Native American is not a race? - nm

What race are Native Americans? (sm) - Here you go

You must not have "checked" - anything. :/
[ In Reply To ..]Ha
You don't quite get it. It's a NON-racial slur, expressing - the false racial claim that Warren made.
[ In Reply To ..]The inability of the general populace to to distinguish critical differences between superficial similarities never ceases to astonish me, but there it is.
It MIGHT have been a racial slur had Warren actually been of Native American ancestry. As it is, it merely lampoons her false claim.
How many Washington Redskins are Indians? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Did you check with them? The only reason the Washington Redskins still have the name is because of the team owner. There are multitude of movements putting pressure on him to change the name.
The University of North Dakota (how conservative can you get?) has renamed the athletic teams to "Fighting Hawks" from "Fighting Sioux".
The attitude of those calling someone Fauxcahontas is on the same line of thinking as calling someone the "N" words.
This is a great example of right wing conservative Republicans not understanding the meaning of "White Privilege." If you don't get it, I suggest you do some deep soul searching.
Not a racial slur...sm - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]She's making fun of Elizabeth Warren, not native Americans, for claiming she was part native American. It's more in line with satire, and I thought it was pretty clever.
She might prefer we just call her "liar." But then she might - be confused with Hillary.
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Spot on. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
What if I called you "Uncle Tom" or worse? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Clue: Not EVERY reference to race is "racist" - We've completely lost our ability to think.

Fascinating TV Show From 60sNov 09, 2009
Just happened to switch to a channel showing 60s version of a 'Boston Legal' type show. Came in on the middle of the show but the plot was about a man who lost everything he had ever worked for because of an illness he could not pay for - no insurance or insuffienty insurance (not clear). Not only was he dying from the disease, he was crushed by the financial disaster his illness caused. What I was so struck by was the closing statement: And remember this show w ...

What About Iraq War Veterans Committing Suicide??? May 29, 2012
I just watched a TV documentary about new war veterans coming back from Iraq. They say that every day at least 28 veterans are committing suicide. This is truly shocking news.

I used to transcribe Veteran's health care reports and know that there are many mental heal ...

She seems to be fine but I can't be sure how she is really doing, you know? She was the one who found him in their bed with the gun in his hand. I cannot imagine. She won't really leave home that much because she says she feels closer to him there. One positive note is that she plans on going back to work Tuesday. We have removed the other gun from her home just in case she gets sad or thinks about joining him but the police have the original gun, not sure if sh ...
