"I'm just a rodeo clown..."

That's a lot of rationalization going on there.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

A vile video of Joe Rogan using explicitly sexist and demeaning language [View all] NCProgressive Jan 2020 OP

Sanders must truly be desperate to celebrate this guy. Demsrule86 Jan 2020 #1

He's desperate to do well in Iowa and NH before he slams into Biden's firewall in SC. highplainsdem Jan 2020 #6

The candidate that I vote for will have more character and integrity. NurseJackie Jan 2020 #10

Nope, can't attack Joe's Bro's. OAITW r.2.0 Jan 2020 #2

Omg.. what a fucking shite for brains.. joe rogan Cha Jan 2020 #3

I'd call Rogan a pig, but that would insult pigs. He's a vicious bigot who finds bigotry funny. highplainsdem Jan 2020 #4

Pigs are exponentially smarter than joe rogan. Cha Jan 2020 #11

That's really awful language. Haven't heard anything like it since I was last in a comedy club... DanTex Jan 2020 #14

Stop trying to cover for rogans vile asshole Cha Jan 2020 #16

It is like Rush Limbaugh's "entertainer" defense. NCProgressive Jan 2020 #17

"the rush limbaugh" defense.. They keep grasping at straws that Cha Jan 2020 #22

No cover! Like I said, awful language that reminds me of the last comedy club I went to. DanTex Jan 2020 #18

That's right.. your attempt is Not working. Cha Jan 2020 #19

Comedy clubs should be canceled! Comedians too! DanTex Jan 2020 #20

Don't stawman me. Cha Jan 2020 #21

I'm agreeing with you. Comedy about world leaders having oral sex is just vile. DanTex Jan 2020 #23

No you're NOT. Cha Jan 2020 #24

Your statement is also specious with a sardonic twist NCProgressive Jan 2020 #35

Not "comedy".. Vile Sexist utterings from a misogynist Cha Jan 2020 #99

I'd say it was the false dillema fallacy.. ehrnst Jan 2020 #80

Gaslighting! Yeah, you gotta brush up on your Cha Jan 2020 #83

DUH-OH! ehrnst Jan 2020 #88

That's why I made this OP.. Cha Jan 2020 #89

I've never heard language this vile toward a woman even in a comedy club. showblue22 Jan 2020 #97

I have asked several people here this question. sheshe2 Jan 2020 #32

I think the word is situational ethics BannonsLiver Jan 2020 #68

And different standards for one candidate than the others. (nt) ehrnst Jan 2020 #82

I haven't seen the video you are talking about, but the one's I've seen I find offensive. DanTex Jan 2020 #79

Yes... talking about "shooting a woman in the C...t" is so mainstream in comedy, isn't it? ehrnst Jan 2020 #81

Jeez, I'm just saying I haven't seen that one video. I've seen comedians say some pretty wrong stuff DanTex Jan 2020 #86

Jeez, OK... it's wrong...,. but look over THERE!!!!...Furious diversion and rationalizing... ehrnst Jan 2020 #87

I said it's wrong. And I said I didn't see that other video, which is true, I haven't. DanTex Jan 2020 #90

"That other video" the one in the OP above? ehrnst Jan 2020 #91

The one in the OP about Hillary I've seen. The one joking about shooting women I haven't. DanTex Jan 2020 #92

No, the standard is embracing the support. Bernie shunned Skrelli's support and $$$. ehrnst Jan 2020 #84

Was the person endorsing a wannabe president? Was that wannabe leader of the free world, CIC of emmaverybo Jan 2020 #101

Yeah, Glenn Beck used that excuse, too, I remember... ehrnst Jan 2020 #41

The "he is just a comedian" defense is hilarious NYMinute Jan 2020 #26

Sanders would have been best off completely ignoring the endorsement. Beakybird Jan 2020 #33

or rejecting it NCProgressive Jan 2020 #36

Like he did Skrelli's fanboy adoration... ehrnst Jan 2020 #85

yUck! Tarheel_Dem Jan 2020 #34

But she's just a woman. The bros don't really care about women. And will prove it by defending Squinch Jan 2020 #37

And it's HRC who is the target, so many self-described feminist bros are likely chuckling along.(nt) ehrnst Jan 2020 #44

Yes. And not appreciating the... er... irony of their positions at all. Squinch Jan 2020 #54

I absolutely think others are faking outrage. Here's why. DanTex Jan 2020 #63

Of course - Bernie supporters can read minds NCProgressive Jan 2020 #64

It doesn't require mind reading, just observation of hypocritical actions. DanTex Jan 2020 #65

Did Pete embrace the endorsement of someone who makes a living being a bigot on air? ehrnst Jan 2020 #73

Yes. He's in a video with the guy, spread around by his campaign. DanTex Jan 2020 #74
