Sorry about what I have said to you.

If I had know you watched “The View” I would have backed off long ago. My daddy raised me not to pick on the weak minded or those that watch daytime TV.

Perhaps you should use “I watch “The View” on your tagline.”

The Mexicans would just stand there and scratch their heads.... The Polish and Italians would look at you funny too. Oh I get it, trolling,(for calves) right?

It comes on right after the morning news, and I can only get a couple channels on the tv in my office.
Bsides, Someone has to keep an eye on what the racists loons on the left are saying. Every day, every black TV personality makes a racist remark. They can't help it. But should a WHITE person say something, like "nappy hair", well, that's "Racist" even though they complain about their nappy hair all day long.

Don’t fret about Trumandogz. He’s an assclown member of the FR PC police. Don’t even know why he’s on FR instead of (Or is it in addion to DU).

Wow, I really never knew that hanging nooses was a conservative ideal. However, if it is why is it that none of the GOP candidates for president don't come out on stage at the next debate holding a noose?

Yer so mean.

"I have no problem with watermelons."

You'll get everything all sticky.

Noose hanging to intimidate is evil.

I do however approve approve of the use of nooses to deal with evil dictators: Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Back off leave him alone.

Apparently, he watches “The View” and thinks that cowboys use nooses to rope cattle.

Tie a noose to the rear bumper of your car and drive around a minority neighborhood.

Well, about 30 or so years ago, I used a noose-like rope to hold the bumper on my 1974 Torino. Now, I can't find too many places to hang one - maybe from the hitch receiver....

I don't have a problem with driving through a minority neighborhood with a noose hangin' from the hitch. If the locals didn't kill me in Nashville several years ago (did I mention my confederate flag boxers?), I doubt that they'd do so now. I think that most people have enough sense to laugh at the whole scene. To the few that don't, well, I really don't care. I'm confident that I can outdrive them.

We can not have this free speech. It is very distructive and is not to be tolerated.

Now nooses are offensive symbols of racism? - that’d be a surprise to all those people who were hung in ye merry olde England or in our own wild wild west - and our local PBS station had better cancel the showing of “Young Frankenstein” it has scheduled in the near future - seems to me there was a pretty vivid hanging scene in that highly rated movie - this is insane.......

Well, it does in mine!

Anyway, it's getting late and I've got to run. It's been fun 'hangin' with y'all.

Close, I'm a northerner (ND). Those lariats look like nooses to me, they're just opened up wider. :o) Heck, when I was a kid, I had a confederate flag covering the back window of my truck. In those days, it meant you were a rebel, anti- establishment. Those were my "democrat" days.

Just think what would happen if I did that now, LoL! I'd be jumped by democrats! Maybe I should put that rebel flag back in my truck window, since it means I'm an intolerant right wing evangelist now. :o)

Your employer can fire you for hanging a Christmas card in your office or even hanging a picture of your wife.

They could try. But I would sue, and win.
