re: #386 bratwurst

Hey, I am not a big fan of the guy at all. I am just wondering if these people REALLY think what Maher said about Trump is truly comparable to what Roseanne said today about Valerie Jarrett.

I guess I am with HappyWarrior…the people drawing this comparison really are plain old stupid. We have seen it right here on LGF, conservatives being utterly and completely impervious to context.

They’re not being stupid. They’re being disingenuous in order to deflect responsibility/blame for one of their own. They know why comparing a black person to an ape is vile racism. But in No True Scotsman fashion they have to circle the wagons for their own. And since their own can’t be defended in this case, they have to establish that the other side is just as bad/worse. So, here’s an example of an alleged liberal call Trump an ape. They know exactly what the fuck they are doing.
