A vile video of Joe Rogan using explicitly sexist and demeaning language

63. I absolutely think others are faking outrage. Here's why.

I have yet to see a single person, either here or on twitter, who isn't either (a) a professional pundit or (b) already firmly anti-Bernie make a big deal out of this. It's the same people who are offended every time Bernie takes a step.

In the real world, comedians make offensive jokes. Yes, including jokes about political leaders giving blowjobs. Here on DU, there are plenty of jokes about Trump giving a blowjob to Putin. The same people offended here aren't offended there, even though it's homophobic humor. Why? Because in reality, people have thicker skin than when they pretend to be outraged.

Like I posted in another thread, Mayor Pete accepted an endorsement by a guy who also has a shock jock talk show, and who is on video bent over laughing about murdering trans women. Guess what, none of the same centrists on twitter care the least bit about that. I could post 20 more examples of candidates buddying up to people who have said bigoted things. It would be the same, none of the same people would care, as long as that candidate wasn't Bernie Sanders.

I could have predicted all this, because it's obvious from the start that none of the outrage has anything to do with actually being offended. It's all hypocrisy, and it's so obvious.
