Hogg, not “High”.

I miss the edit function.

I miss it too. They’re supposed to be returning it.

Here’s to hope.

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:33:26.332Z

So you didn’t intend to eat it?

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:36:45.088Z

No, that’s how trying to save your ass works.

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:37:42.990Z

The insincerity negates the “apology”.

She’s not apologizing, she’s trying to save her job.

I like how she’s reclaiming the word.

Was she successful in reclaiming the word by calling Ivanka a ■■■■■

I still want to know what reclaiming a word means.

I can see how you would think that.

I find that Conservatives never apologize, and never accept apologies.

It’s part of the breakdown in civility these days.

And liberals can simply say or do anything they want, then apologize, and it’s like nothing ever happened.

And it’s conservative’s fault civility has broken down?

To be as one-sided as that and act like there’s no incivility on one side when you have President Trump who has made fun of the handicapped, called entire ethnic communities by racial slurs along with many other things is really flying blind. Liberals do not say anything they want. If anything, given some of the slurs thrown at President Obama, they’ve been pretty mild.

That’s what the guy said- it’s conservatives’ fault civility is breaking down. I never said it was one-sided.

If you’ve never seen the movie Clerks II, you should watch it…

There is a conversation in which a white kid who doesn’t understand why his grandmother using the phrase “porch monkey” was a racial slur. Absolutely priceless. In the end, he claims that hes a porch monkey for life and hes taking it back.

It think that is what reclaiming a word is.

That scene is funny as hell.

I think you are confused.

Nobody said there weren’t going to be consequences for her actions, and there have been.

The difference is when and how the apology was given.

Samantha Bee apologized before the first sponsor dropped her. It wasn’t a reaction to getting dropped. She apologized because it was the right thing to do. Not so much with Laura. She didn’t do so until after the fallout, and then gave a half assed attempt at it even then.

Because you can’t tell me. They didn’t happen. I had it right in the post that got deleted.

That’s a flat out lie.

“The apologies from Bee and TBS came only an hour after a digital advertiser, the car marketplace Autotrader.com, pledged to cut ties with the show.”

BillBrown:

Nebraska Football insisted on characterizing it as a mistake. Again, that’s something that Samantha Bee never said. Maybe it worked out as she intended- attention for a talking head who’s ratings were in the toilet.

Please don’t lie about me and what I said. I stated that her apology showed that she believed, in retrospect, what she said was a mistake to have said. I never insisted that what she said was unintentional. I was commenting on her apology. I never once attempted to excuse what she said, nor did I ever comment on my perspective of her original comments.
