If Mike Pence doesn't want to be booed he should attend tractor pulls and NASCAR races

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Just sayin...

Quit trying to appropriate our entertainment when you have your own.

1. And the actor playing Hamilton is gay and HIV positive. I hope someone told Pence. (nt)

2. A tractor pull is just the thing

Need a mighty big tractor to pull his head out of his ass.

[SticksnStones]

3. It was a little tone deaf on his part

(Though expectedly so) to go see Hamilton...in New York....now.

Perhaps he thought he'd be greeted with flowers and chocolates.

4. "Be here or be queer!"

That's the line at the end of this monster truck commercial:

Pence doesn't want to "be queer," does he?

5. NASCAR and Mike Pence

4/2/15

On Tuesday, NASCAR joined a chorus of those opposing Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA.) NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Communications Officer Brett Jewkes authored the statement posted to NASCAR.com. Jewkes wrote that the sanctioning body is disappointed by the legislation, and NASCAR refuses to discriminate, instead advocating for diversity and inclusion of all within the sport.

Readers of Daily Kos, a liberal website, commented with surprise on a Facebook link posted to its page that mentioned NASCAR’s opposition to the RFRA. NASCAR fans are perceived as being mostly white, male, straight, and dedicated conservatives.

Some NASCAR fans took to commenting in anger on unrelated story links on NASCAR’s Facebook page over the sanctioning body’s statement. They asserted that the sport was alienating its conservative Christian base. One fan wrote that the sport adopting ethanol (it switched to an American Ethanol Blend in 2011 for its three main national series in an effort to cut emissions) was the beginning of the end, and “entering politics” was the final straw. Another wrote that NASCAR is “trying to be part of an assault on Christians.”

PS: I come from a racing family and still enjoy watching NASCAR...well, up until it became more like reality TV.

6. Holy crap.

The following "conservative narrative" seems more and more accurate to me.

This article was written in 2012, long before Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan:
http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2012/08/21/in-the-magazine/trends-and-opinions/americas-painful-divide.html

Once upon a time, America was a shining beacon. Then liberals came along and erected an enormous federal bureaucracy that handcuffed the invisible hand of the free market. They subverted our traditional American values and opposed God and faith at every step of the way. … Instead of requiring that people work for a living, they siphoned money from hardworking Americans and gave it to Cadillac-driving drug addicts and welfare queens. … Instead of adhering to traditional American values of family, fidelity, and personal responsibility, they encouraged a feminist agenda that undermined traditional family roles. … Instead of projecting strength to those who would do evil around the world, they cut military budgets, disrespected our soldiers in uniform, burned our flag, and chose negotiation and multilateralism. … Then Americans decided to take their country back from those who sought to undermine it.

7. irony

most republicans like and enjoy the arts that come about because of and from those they want to repress

8. Lost opportunity to enlighten the poor soul

We should show mercy when one of the dark ones enter a place of love and knowledge.

[LuvLoogie]

9. Can't agree with you. Pence is not lost. He chose his path.

Fuck him.

[randr]

10. As we choose ours

[hatrack]

11. Stick to pie-eating contests and Civil War reenactments, Gov. Numbnuts

.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. "Pie eating contests."

I am thinking of the scene from Stand By Me. lol.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Yeah, like this one...

That's about his speed.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Honestly, what did he expect?

That just goes to show you how tone-deaf these people are.

[neeksgeek]

15. He should go to a rodeo.

I hear they're looking for clowns.

[Bucky]

16. they'll be booing him at Nascar soon enough

And Hamilton belongs to all of us. There are not just two American tribes. We're more complex than that. That's why we need to work to build coalitions among all our people. Unity makes us stronger (in case you missed Hillary's core message of stronger together) and divisiveness makes the Trumps of the world stronger.

Which side are you working to win?

17. Meanwhile, Trump University goes down Memory Hole as Trump yells SQUIRREL

and Democrats and the Media look.
