Let's just accept it, apart from this forum, the world is a sh**ty place

Also, we are complying with Godwin's Law in only 17 pages.

This is extremely polite by comparison. Most places comply with Godwin's Law within 1 or 2 pages, these days.

I've been keeping up with that story. It's been covered everywhere, from the serious to the satirical (The Onion). Even Obama came out and commented on it, shooting him down in a sentence. It's people like him who make me very untaddy in relation to my innermost conscious thoughts.

To me it came over as "stupid" rather than "evil" - ie. some people are so stupid they become evil

Having such in office is scary.

Stupid can be taught.

Evil persists for money and power.

Well put, Pieces.

What's more worrying is that this belief is said to be widespread among Southern anti-abortion fundamentalists.

^ It is a widely held belief among fundagelicals of any geographical area. Just another justification for severely restricting (if not outright eliminating) fact-based human reproductive segments of health classes, in order to keep the population ignorant and compliant with harmful policies.

The guy is plain evil, even after the storm and after the party asked for his resignation the guy refused, it's all about power, and if to reach it he has to spew stupidity he has no qualms.

Too much stupidity according to the polls though, he may lose because of the comment.

Apparently different to obscenely wealthy.

Given how dreadfully the really rich are treated by the public, they can of course empathize with the commoners

I bet don't know with which countries the continental US limits, and quite possibly think that there is a border with Russia because, you know, Sarah P. can see it from her house...
