(Content warning: Racism and sexism)
That was my first instinct when I viewed this recent video of an audience question at a panel of the Conservative Political Action Committee on Republican minority outreach :
But perhaps he is a real thing. Often the "real thing" is as bad as any sarcasm I might be able to create, after all. (For instance, just try to create a sarcastic story about the advice the American Taliban would give to the mothers of America. I once did that and couldn't get it to differ from reality by exaggeration.)
Think Progress reports:
ThinkProgress spoke with Terry, who sported a Rick Santorum sticker and attended CPAC with a friend who wore a Confederate Flag-emblazoned t-shirt, about his views after the panel. Terry maintained that white people have been “systematically disenfranchised” by federal legislation.
When asked by ThinkProgress if he’d accept a society where African-Americans were permanently subservient to whites, he said “I’d be fine with that.” He also claimed that African-Americans “should be allowed to vote in Africa,” and that “all the Tea Parties” were concerned with the same racial problems that he was.
At one point, a woman challenged him on the Republican Party’s roots, to which Terry responded, “I didn’t know the legacy of the Republican Party included women correcting men in public.”
He claimed to be a direct descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
Bolds are mine.
Lawyers, Guns&Money also wonders if Terry is a liberal plant. Probably the guy is not a liberal plant, only someone who manages to make conservatives look really bad by expressing his sincere opinions in that place. If so, he is just as extreme as sarcasm would write him. Which is very unfair for all us writers and bloggers.
I wandered from that blog to all sorts of pretty disgusting places by following the initial references and then by digging some more. If you choose to do that, remember the bleach and the iron brush for cleaning yourself later on.
