X slams Y for mocking Z. It seems contrived and boring. Let's just say, no one in their right mind cares. Change the players and it's the same formula. Outrage is passe'.

It does seem that Gaines girl is making a career out of pure outrage now. She and her outrage have been plastered all over foxnews website for months. Her 15 minutes of fame has lasted a half-hour. It seems unfortunate that Ms Gaines isn't busy training for the Olympics or something. They have swimming events that are exciting to see.

So, all opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others?

No, some opinions are over-seen.
And less equal or meaningful.
Diminished even.

Hypocrites (pot) calling the intolerant (kettle) bad (black) to stir trouble (and her career) is not admirable to me. She has lost some respect in my eyes. Who was it that told LeBron James to shut up and dribble haha? Laura Ingraham I believe said he has no business talking politics. Ironically foxnews now seems to champion sports personalities "talking politics". Even mediocre sports "personalities".

Sorry but you guys can’t support someone like Trump who mocks, insults and belittles and comes up with childish nicknames for anyone and everyone and then turn around and get upset when others do the same to someone you like. This is what you’ve encouraged.

It comes down to this. Some idiot nobody in the left does something mean and you expect us to care?

Remember during the presidency when we were daily pointing out trumps awful treatment of people. And then Post election when we were able to do it less frequently? And when we called him on it we get the "bargle bangle Trump derangement syndrone" and they do nothing?

Trump supporters, Trump enablers, and those who chose silence, don't expect anything when you realize words hurt.

Do the previous three posts mean that we should be allowed to mock each other here with personal insults due to someone's injury or permanent disability?

I speak only for me. I guess I should just play the denial card like the rightists did for Trump, which was just to simply say he was not mocking or insulting a man with permanent disabilities. In this case nobody was mocked or insulted. There you go.

Where is your opinion?

Not according to the rules of the board, no. But do you really care about their feelings being hurt? MAGA had a saying about feelings I can't repeat on these board lest I run afoul of other rules, so...

Bottom line. This person was awful for mocking her disability just like MAGA is awful for doing the same per examples stated. We should all agree with that. Just don't be an awful person. Moving on.

We asked Trump supporters that back then too. I STILL haven't seen widespread condemnation by his supporters from him mocking the disabled reporter.

Just FYI we'll respond like them and either stop commenting on the thread or just avoid thr question.

No. And we shouldn’t elect people who do to lead our country either.
