(18,672 posts)not that we didn't know this already. Jan Brewer should be ashamed of all she's done throughout the years to promote racism. Her actions have needlessly hurt a lot of people. Years ago, racists were reviled after a long period of their being given carte blanche to commit their heinous acts without fear of punishment. The noble people of the world called them out on their unacceptable behavior and they retreated under rocks and hid in crevices. For some reason, racists pieces of sh*t have been given cover by the Republican party so they feel comfortable rearing their ugly heads again. Let's all make sure they recede back to the dark places where they belong, never to be seen again. It is not okay to be a racist.

And people have the right to call them out on it, and any repurcussions that follow.

We dont have time for charlatans and we dont have time for hatred and we dont have time for bigotry and we dont have time for film-flam, the president said. And we dont have the luxury of just popping off and saying just whatever comes to the top of our heads. Dont have time for that.
The comments appeared to hit a nerve with Brewer when she was asked about them during a panel segment on CNN.

(4,558 posts)She at least has the sense enough to realize that being called a bigot is a bad thing, and not a compliment to be embrased.. So there's at least a first decent step in the right direction. It's also one step ahead of many of her fellows on her side.
Now if only she could get to that second step on the bigots anonymous recovery program.. Start recognizing her bigoted behavior and the bigoted behavior of those she supports.

She's a bigot, not a misogynist's punching bag.

(31,818 posts)It's neither slander nor libel to tell her the truth about herself. She has the right to say she's mad about it - but she can't force people to not speak the truth. She's just awful. What a miserable vile human being. And good on O'Malley for jabbing at her.
