Politics Thread

When I visited the Marianists UD school in the late 1980’s for basketball games, I never heard anything derogatory about X. Certainly, I never saw any X sucks towels or shirts.

It's a good thing you guys weren't at the Gardens in the '60's.

Whew, I was scared that there were a bunch of rape apologists in the crowd back then too. Wouldn't look good for the university.

How is these even remotely connected except that they're both chants and have three syllables.

Once again whacko nut job sports "journalists" trying to interject a divisive liberal political agenda into sports. But this is beyond the pale.

The phrase "it's a game - stupid" comes to mind.

My only hope is that this was a joke....otherwise....this is a joke...and a very bad, incredibly divisive, completely and utterly disgraceful one.

I would say 'lunatic fringe' but the fringe here has long since been breached.

Otherwise, Gammons, like a whole lot of folks have completely off the rails.

Evil? I just don’t get the hate for Soros. He donates money to causes he believes in. He’s trying to make the world a better place. You may not agree with what he thinks is the correct way to achieve that goal, but at least he is participating as someone with the means to do so. The Mercers must be evil then as well, I suppose.

And by the way, Soros didn’t become evil until the 2000s. From the article you linked...

“In the United States, Soros was initially seen as an ally by Republicans who shared his opposition to communist dictators. He made modest donations to support the GOP in the 1980s and 1990s, according to campaign finance reports.

But he turned decisively against Republicans after President George W. Bush invaded Iraq in 2003 based on faulty intelligence about weapons of mass destruction.”

Again, you pluck 2 things you wouldn’t support to justify calling him evil? Are the Mercers also evil? After all, they throw HUGE sums of money at people and causes I strongly oppose.

I agree, you have to admire his desire to make the world better in his eyes. I don’t always agree with him but I back the ACLU and planned parenthood.

No one in Ohio likes the money/support he’s putting behind Issue 1.

I'm sure you feel the same about Charles Koch.
