Who is this jackass African American on M$NBC

[malaise]

saying that Obama must cave for the short term deal.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. I don't have cable, so I'll guess. Armstrong Williams?

[malaise]

5. No it's not him

I'd recognize that hack anywhere

[titaniumsalute]

2. Surely not allen west (asshole shitfart)

[Sarah Ibarruri]

3. A cousin of Clarence Thomas, perhaps? nt

[Oceansaway]

4. robt.johnson/billionaire...nt

[malaise]

8. Yep you're right BETs Robert Johnson

Thanks

[Ishoutandscream2]

21. Correction, "Job Creator"

:silly:

[MadHound]

6. What does it matter if he/she is African American?

Jackasses come in all different colors, races and creeds.

[Stuckinthebush]

7. My thoughts too

What's up with that?

[malaise]

10. Well he's African-American

and a jackass.

[MadHound]

11. What, there are no other identifying factors,

Like his job, who he represents, heck, your OP didn't even identify if he was male or female, just African American.

[malaise]

16. If I knew his job I doubt I would have asked who he was

Clearly you've never seen me. :shrug:

[MadHound]

24. So there were absolutely no identification of this guy?

And again, let me point out that your OP didn't even identify whether he was male or female, just African American.

Not to mention there is usually other identifying clues dropped during the course of an interview, who he works for, represents, etc. You missed all of those?

And no, I've never seen you, not that it matters.

[malaise]

Whatever n/t

[Stuckinthebush]

14. From a critical standpoint

If he was a caucasian male, then you wouldn't say, "Who is this white jackass on MSNBC"?

[malaise]

18. I'd probably say

ReTHUG!

[Stuckinthebush]

20. HA!

Good point!

[MadHound]

25. And African Americans can't be Rethugs? n/t

[gateley]

12. I thought she was just using AA as a way to help identify him --

like "hey, who's the guy with the red hair..." :shrug:

malaise knows jackass-ism comes in all shapes, sizes and colors.

[malaise]

19. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

:D

[wtmusic]

23. Too late, this tack will dominate your thread.

Smoky the Bear Says: You Can Prevent Outrage Fires.

[malaise]

27. So be it

I'm a big girl :D

[Chipper Chat]

28. Would you please identify a 'big girl?'

And who is "I" and what is a girl?
. :sarcasm:

[malaise]

29. A grown up lady -

not big as in size

[formercia]

30. You have to be careful what you say around here.

Someone might just take you out of context. :hi:

[H2O Man]

31. Well then WHY

did you say "big"???? We demand an answer!!!!

[wtmusic]

15. IMO Mr. Johnson would be offended to be identified as a jackass

but never as an African American.

[midnight]

17. It mattered when we elected the first black president....

[gateley]

9. A "businessman". Didn't catch his name but I sure didn't

like what he was saying, either. But maybe he IS Representative of what many in business feel.

You know, I'm really getting nervous. Do you know what time the House vote is? (I should still be in bed, damn it!)

[malaise]

13. It hardly matters what happens in the House

This won't pass in the Senate. They said sometime this morning.

DeFazio is tearing them a new one in the house right now on taxcuts and the airlines.
Trickle down is failing - this is great.

22. I'll tune in.

I'm really surprised I'm so worried today. If we were to default, nothing would DIRECTLY affect me (no mortgage, credit cards, loans, etc) but I'm really hurting for those who would be.

Currently on MSNBC, a financial person is saying the market doesn't seem to be concerned there will be a default.

So THAT makes me nervous about what the final deal may be! :banghead:

[Armstead]

26. Robert Johnson....Founded BET Network and other companies

Your basic corporate guy.

33. I am OUTRAGED by something in this thread!

I am LIVID! I will now reveal how I AM BETTER THAN YOU!

Please take note that THESE WORDS ARE CAPITALIZED!

My (insert topic) never (insert verb) and I have never seen (insert topic) ever happen (insert relevant location) in a fashion as (insert target of venom) describes or alleges (exclamation point). Therefore everyone else but me is a poopyhead. IT IS LOGICS!
