I dunno Scott and Jackal, when that member of congress called Obama a “liar†in the middle of his healthcare speech a year ago – that really took it to a level I had not seen or experienced in my lifetime.
“why would shaking out a rug be considered low class?”
…uhh, hello up there!!!
I’m trying to eat my barbecue chicken down here on the
terrace and you’re up there shaking rug droppings on my potato salad. :o(
Oh whatever, people. Politics has been vitriolic since basically forever. I love reading about early 19th century elections where people were calling each other really awesome insults.
here I’m gonna google that now
I thought the message of the billboard was confused and probably counter productive, in that it defines the problem down (i.e. focusing on abortion in the black community rather than in total).
Have no problem with their displaying it, though, and hope it is more effective than I expect.
I think both sides have been fostering a culture increasing vitriol for the last 20 year or so.
politicians are sell-outs. dont expect too much integrity from them. dont expect too much production either.

Thanks prezanon,
…although I do realize that some here think my posts are just
“full of it”. ;o)
BTW, I was serious about telling you folks how to make money by just going to the bank,
I guess everyone has enough money already.
Hi Biff!
The tone of the billboard is to imply abortion is an attack on African Americans, and not a free choice by African American women. It preys on racial fears and stereotypes.

and give it a good shake? Or is that kinda low class?
why would shaking out a rug be considered low class? if it’s a small throw rug it’s probably the best way to actually clean it it. do you consider it low class when people shake off their clothes and bags when they get off the subway, leave the movie theatre, or leave questionable peoples’ apartments?
