We have bigger fish to fry then to worry about what stupid sayings are on mugs at wal mart
Sara needs to be above this nonsense
We are not whiny liberals, we need to stop mimicking them on stupid stuff like this
Sara(h) surely appreciates your empathy.
Good point: we need to find a balance.
Still it’s possible to parry and parlay them. “Got retard? Yes. The fool who designed that mug.”
This is political correctness bull shit.

this is personnel for her. not everything is about politics. she has every right to voice her displeasure with the corporation selling the item just as the company has every right to sell the item. there is nothing wrong with shaming the company publicly and unlike a lot of people she has a platform to do it and if Wall Mart wants to be connected to items like this she will let them no that a lot of people are not happy to see the item.
I disagree, I think what our side has lacked was the ability to visibly push back against the left in a way that resonates in the meme-driven, soundbite, text message culture we live in today.
Cultural guerrilla tactics is something the left has practiced for a long time. We need to be able to create our own counter for their tactics.
This year, our side did very well in pushing the left back on the field of ideas. Trump knows this game well. When he jumped on Internet efforts to turn Hillary’s deplorables comment into a badge of honor and gave it press (Les Deplorables) he captured the mind share of many people.
The artist who is pasting satirical posters with Trump and friends as Star Wars figures and calling it “Rogue Won” around Hollywood just to tweak the left is a good example of this. The artist who created the Obama-Joker-Socialism sticker is another good example.
Now’s the time to fight back. The left suffered a big defeat with Hillary’s loss. I’d prefer we don’t “go wobbly” and continue to press our advantage, wherever we can find it.
It’s not clever or funny, why bring any attention to it?
It is true that we have much bigger fish to fry than to worry about what stupid sayings are on Walmart coffee mugs.
However, calling the distributor out for this hurtful saying will galvanize a little push back.
We have heretofore failed, for decades, to push back. We have instead “sucked it up” and look where we are now, and how low it has brought our culture.
Remember Giuliani was praised for addressing the little things and the petty crimes very firmly and expeditiously. That serious commitment to punishing the little things brought the greater and more serious crimes down as well.
