39. Bigot bullshit...

Tue Nov 24, 2015, 03:42 PM

Nov 2015

Is posted all the time on here. Some of it from our own bigoted leaders of the Democratic Party. Some of it praising bigots for doing something else that is progressive. Mocking religions isn't bigotry. In fact, a lot of the religions are bigoted.

If Pope praising threads are allowed, then I don't see why others wouldn't be.

From my understanding of the OP, the guy does quite a few videos tongue in cheek to some degree. He's not entirely sincere. It's a form of humor and a way of mocking certain ideas. Hyperbole is his schtick from what I can tell.

I don't think many on DU will understand that type of humor, and I don't expect them to. I don't think the fat woman video would go over well here, just like I don't think the Pope's comments on gay adoptions would go over well here.

I do think his duck dynasty video would be appreciated by some here, though again, only if you like that kind of humor and social commentary.

As for this video, it probably won't go over well here, because it will be seen as attacking the victim.
