What? So wheelbarrows are now RACIST or something? Is it because they are employed in back-breaking agricultural work akin to SLAVERY? I just KNOW that’s the hidden text here…
The more I think about it, the more I wish I was on that panel. But I guess I don’t much rank. Hopefully we OUTLAWS can change that.’
I would have just started singing “Danny Boy” right over Dyson’s verbal diarrhea. Then I would have spoken directly to the crowd and told them that having your meaning stolen like that can happen to anyone, even you yipping lefty poodles, and then I would have explained how, unlike Mr Dyson, the first thing that pops into my head when I hear the word “monkey” is Lancelot Link, secret chimp — not, say, Larry Holmes.
I also would have told him if he wants to call me a racist, he shouldn’t try to hide behind the convenient fiction that I might not believe I am, but that I’ve been fooled into speaking the coded words of racism. Just come out and accuse me directly. Because then I’d explain how advocating for certain policy positions doesn’t make one racist — followed by the suggestion that if he libels me like that on tv, I’ll stand up and happily bitch slap him.
on st patty’s day i go into a 7-dee-eleven-dee
the clerks name tag said “Dan”

so i say
jeebs/ we just had black history month-MONTH!
could u melt into the melting pot just ‘lil’
just asking u to learn about one day!
This guy Dyson is one of the biggest race-baiters in the country, and does so while trying to hide behind his academic credentials and ersatz professorial dignity and gravitas; what.a.poseur…
He’s just another one of the usual suspects that are trotted out on TV whenever there is a possibility that the intent of someone’s words or actions can be twisted into having an inherent racist undertone…

He’s no more a poseur than most of academia, where they pay you to pose. And give you tenure if you do it well. Trust me, few of his peers consider his emperor to be naked. He’s just speaking truth to power, dontcha know!
So Breitbart might want to be on the lookout for an inherent asymmetry of depth and character in his opponents, measured over against his own, next time he’s pondering a debate with representatives of the left?

Alfonzo Rachel is an OUTLAW: a conservative black dude. And he does videos. And if you two got together, he could play the part of Dyson, and you could do what you wish you’d a done. Maybe Breitbart can play Maher.
You’re right. They were specifically describing the intentionalist argument, though they didn’t call it as such. But they do say that they are taking one’s words and applying their own meaning to them, then using their meaning as a cudgel to beat up on what you “said.”
I listened to it. It’s clear these guys have read some of my posts — probably thanks to Michelle allowing me a space on Hot Air while others were at work freezing me out.
Like I said, so long as the message gets out, that’s cool. I think I might be effective at getting the message across — I have a particular style that stands up well to attempts to filibuster and own my meaning, and I’m not at all cowed by “celebrities” like Maher or Jon Stewart — but if others are going to take this and run with, awesome.
I just hope Pat doesn’t hear this and start sending Breitbart hypotheticals to answer.
Beautiful.
[eyes mist over in admiration]
You’re so articulate!
Clean too, I’ll wager!
“glazed with coded
hate”
Sounds like a donut that Satan’s own C++ programmer would eat.
Breitbart did 15 minutes with Andrew Wilkow on his Real Time appearance. It’s well worth listening to, as both guys get it. You can hear it here.
Does Prof. Dyson have any male progeny? Y’know, a “boy?”
I just plugged the ASCII text of Professor Dyson’s television appearances into my handy universal Turing machine. Received meaningless output.
Highly suggestive that he’s engaging in code language.
I propose that he’s saying, “I can’t believe I get paid to decrease the world’s knowledge!”
x, the beloved letter

That would make every future rendition of “Danny Boy” a Goldwhistle.

Jeff is referencing a poem that includes a white chicken. Need I say more?

Hilarity could ensue. Think about it, won’t you?

Don’t forget the Diet Coke.

Seriously, Jeff, that is right up your alley.

Lead, follow, or get out of the fucking way.
OUTLAW!
