Hello,

I wonder what it is about Land-o-lakes photoshop jobs and the word 'Fauxcahontas' that helps to convey that message?

I feel he is trying to say something about the person's ancestry, but it's not clear to me what that is, exactly.

Well, her opponent claimed that you can look at her and see clearly that she is not Native American, and then several members of his staff were doing their best "Indian war whoop" chants and "Tomahawk chop" moves, so I guess they're saying that the right still has nothing but disdain and hatred for anyone of Native American ancestry.

This is pretty much the same thing as trying to put down President Obama by putting on blackface and singing "Mammy"; it doesn't insult the person it's aimed at nearly as much as it tells us a great deal about the person hurling the insult.

I'm a bit confused about the title "Fauxcahontas" and the image of an indian maiden offering butter.

What are these phrases and images meant to convey.

As for being glad, that sounds about right.

Hello,

I never quite understood the binders issue, other than criticising a speaker's odd grammatical choices and making fun of them.

But do you think critiquing the words of an opponent 'Binders full of women' is akin to performing caricatures of Native Americans in dance, imagery, and headlines of right-wing articles?

I'm curious as to how you see it.

Both are criticisms of the opposition.
Both have little to do with actual issues.
Both are meant to insult.

I could point out that a larger percentage of such things on this forum originate from the liberal side (excluding PN, who is on his own different side), but I think that's self-evident.

ETA: i.e. see above.

Mike did a much better job of reaching my issue, i.e. denigrating an entire demographic in order to criticize an individual.

When I see it happen, I speak up.

So, do you want to source your claim that the liberal side does it more often, or do you want to join me in condemning it now and always?

Just look at this forum and objectively decide who throws the most personal and demographic insults. If you're honest with yourself, you'll see who it is.
