Joe Biden: Trump erodes America's foundation. This Fourth of July, I pledge to rebuild it.

RNC Spokesperson Denounces 'All People Are Created Equal' as 'Radical Left Socialism'

1. To be fair...

...he didn't include 'lizard people' which leaves out a huge chunk of Republicans.

[PatSeg]

2. Don't you just love republican outrage?

With all the crap going on in the world, they get bent out of shape when someone says "people" instead of "men" and her argument is totally illogical - "That's radical left socialism"???

[OhZone]

3. Yup, and in the end -

that's all they are trying to conserve - rich, white, male power.

That's it.

Nothing else.

[PatSeg]

24. Plus it is satisfying for some to

be openly angry and hostile to other people. The party of "personal responsibility" loves putting the blame on others. Freedom of speech, religious freedom, and liberty are only for them and those who agree with them.

[czarjak]

31. Foundational tenets?

[RussellCattle]

18. They certainly seem to love being outraged. Let's count the number of times one of them....

....demands an apology, for some perceived insult, by Joe Biden, between now and the election. Demanding an apology is one of their favorite games.

20. Part of Limbaugh and FOX "News" pundits' appeal is the outrage.

I'd share NPR tidbits I thought fascinating over lunch at my last school. I advocated for listening to NPR to a couple of teachers. I'll never forget Ron, an older white man, telling me he loved listening to RW talk radio when he walked the track after school because it got his juices flowing.

Being roused like that is addictive, part of the appeal.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes, they are addicted to outrage

Outrage can be addictive and I personally try not to seek it out, as it is exhausting and very unhealthy. Meanwhile, the media uses that addiction to hold on to listeners and viewers, not just on the right. The difference, however, between outrage on the right and on the left is republican outrage is often based on lies and fantasy, whereas sane people are outraged over very real issues like kids in cages and Russian interference in our government and elections.

I'm so tired of being outraged, but so many right-wingers are hungry for more. I think they are loving every minute of this.

[RussellCattle]

25. I too have suggested to my RWNJ friends that they should try NPR for a change, but....

....never get anywhere because they say that they get the "truth" from talk radio, not lefty propaganda. Next time I'll point out that they enjoy the anger and are addicted to the outrage. I'll suggest NPR and The News Hour as part of a ten step program to get over their addiction.

[RussellCattle]

28. Think about this addiction to outrage the next time you watch Trump supporters....

....screaming at the cameras after one of his political rallies.

[PatSeg]

23. The How Dare You Club

They are all subjective and can only see what is done to them, even though they themselves do the same things to others. If nothing is done to them, they make crap up.

[iluvtennis]

21. + agree. nt

[Lock him up.]

29. Yeah. She didn't even notice it's "all MEN are created equal"

I guess for heR, all WOMEN aren't??

Yeah, and also, like if Vice-President Joe Biden has the power to rewrite the DOI by himself? Where did she get that? On the creepy QAnon site?


MAKE JUSTICE GREAT AGAIN on November 3. GO JOE!

[PatSeg]

30. Apparently women's rights

is a radical left socialistic agenda. What on earth did these people learn in school?

[niyad]

40. Nothing intelligent, correct, or useful, apparently.

[geardaddy]

44. They went to the Phyllis Schlafly School. n/t

[PatSeg]

46. So it would seem

[Gidney N Cloyd]

4. ...

...the fuck-- ?

[grumpyduck]

5. So is she basically saying that

women are not equal to men?

[2naSalit]

7. Yup, along with everybody else. ...nt

[niyad]

10. Yes. She also lied about how VP Biden said it. He said, basically, "moving from "all men" to

"all people".

She is another example of a self-loathing woman.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

39. Exactly. She completely misstated what he said

Biden is the one who should be asking for an apology.

[yuiyoshida]

8. Republicans really are scared of a blue

Tsunami? Good!
青い津波が必要です

[lonely bird]

9. Let's see...

According to her logic she should just STFU because she is a woman.

[keithbvadu2]

14. Yes... With her logic, she should be admiring his statements in awe because

Yes... With her logic, she should be admiring his statements in awe because

she is a mere woman and not equal.

Her own opinion is that her opinion is of less value.

Conundrum.

[Me.]

11. She's Saying All Men

does that include black/Latino men?

I despise self-loathing women.

[EarlG]

16. I decided to include white because

the Declaration of Independence was written by white men, for white men. I don't believe any of the Founders considered black men to be "equal" when the Declaration was written -- I doubt it even occurred to them that "all men" might include black men. Black men were property, not people.

That's the context in which Liz Harrington is outraged -- that the original intent of the document has evolved. She insists that it's outrageous to suggest that Americans might have moved on in the last 250 years, and that the concept of "all men" should now be more properly recognized as "all people."

[niyad]

41. I rember when "Stae Trek" went from "where no man" to "where no one has gone before"

And all the pearl-clutching over gender-neutral language. These maroons are really wedded to their misogynistic, sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic worldview. They are almost frightening in their ignorance.

[tulipsandroses]

12. When does it end? When does someone in this so called party, stand up and say Enough!

This is what it has come down to? Talking bobble heads saying that all people are created equal is a radical left socialism idea. Jeezus H. Krist already!

[Bengus81]

13. Should make for a good Biden commercial or Lincoln project....

Gawd....those idiots really put it out there for all to see their hate and bias.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

15. I hate them all...so so so fucking much.

I almost cannot fathom that there are people who think like Liz in this world.

[IronLionZion]

17. Republicans must really hate themselves

since they hate people so much. Self loathing is the worst

[denem]

19. Way to go Liz! That will win back women voters.

[raging moderate]

26. Yes, you are right!

Most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence did mean "white men" when they said "men." And the Trump crowd still does. I remember that I have heard many Black men report that racist policemen and other racist white men call them "boy." This is a racist dog whistle!

[patphil]

27. This coming from a woman, who isn't included in the "all men" mentality.

I guess it upsets her to be considered equal to a man.
My Republican brother-in-law jokingly refers to a woman's position as, "barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen".
I wonder if Liz Harrington espouses that viewpoint?

[raging moderate]

38. LOOK AT HER BLEACH BLONDE HAIR.

They think they SHARE in the glory of the WHITE MALES by ENTICING THEM TO BREED WITH THEM. There was an old poem that ended "None but the Brave deserve the Fair." This is a very sick narcissistic religion. I sometimes wonder whether they all need to have MIRRORS SURGICALLY IMPLANTED in their wrists SO THEY CAN KISS THEIR PRETTY PINK FACES enough to SATISFY THEIR NARCISSISTIC URGES.

[czarjak]

32. Donald Deflection... Donald Debacle...

[rickford66]

33. Liz needs to look up the definitions of "treated" and "guaranteed".

[Towlie]

34. Today I learned that I'm a "radical left socialist" because I believe in equal rights for women.

That's what that means? Who knew?

[niyad]

42. As a women's rights activist, I have been called a communist, a socialist, an atheist, unnatural,

and a few other names.

[mountain grammy]

35. Sounds like she's off her meds

[Miigwech]

36. Not only is she a shit faced idiot, but she looks like younger trump in a wig

[rpannier]

37. Uhhhhh... Liz Harrington... okay... ummmmm... whatever

Can we use that in campaign literature or have you filed a copyright on that?

I think we can all agree that she's a horrible individual

[Alex Blaine Layder]

43. she needs more forehead and less sphincter

Just like Wussolini.

[DonCoquixote]

45. I need to ask this, but I am trying to be careful

Why is it the GOP has no shortage of these shield maiden ladies who advocate and defend the very right of their party to attack and demonize women?
