A bipartisan forum in a small Latah County community took a turn when Republican Senate incumbent Dan Foreman stormed out of the event, following a racist outburst directed at a Native American candidate.

    Interesting that he got so angry so quickly after the mention of Aryan Nations. Almost like he has a personal stake in them remaining unknown to the general public…

    Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

    lmao

      Just think that asshat is a Senator, which means a bunch of other asshats think he’s smart too.

          “Just think how stupid the average person is… then realize that 50% of people are dumber than that!”

          Paraphrased from George Carlin.

            Oh yeah, I watched some reaction video tonight on Carlin. Its funny how what he saw hasn’t changed at all but so few know about it. The young person watching got hung up on the stupidest things and missed the point as well. Choosing to concentrate on some minor generational use of words rather than the message itself.

              Yeah, there are a few of those comedians who I believe will prove timeless. Carlin’s and Pryor’s works in particular will never completely lose relevance because they’re such fundamental takes on humanity.

    TIL “freedom” in the context of the U.S.A is about allowing racist bigotry and evil shit in the name of capitalism
