I've no opinions on the books and generally try not to apply adult criticism to children's media ("Elmo is so dumb, why do preschoolers like this!?") so I have no idea how deserving it is of an award. Or how prestigious the "Children's Choice Award" is in the literary world. This does mean though more lengthy dull segments of Rush plugging his book and talking about how upset liberals are that it got an award and yadda yadda. Time to switch to music over lunch.

Wait, okay okay. One second. Looking at the entire 2014 awards, there seems to be four categories for writing, one for illustrations, and then an Author of the Year. How do you get Author of the Year if your book isn't even nominated a finalist for the other categories?

I was struck this week by a statement Obama made where he said how much the kidnapped girls had in common with his daughters. And I recalled him saying more or less the same sort of thing about Treyvon Martin (comparing him to a hypothetical son he might have had).
That was Michelle Obama and the comparisons she made had nothing to do with skin color:
Strange. I could have sworn I saw a clip of the President making a similar statement. Can't find it now. Either way, does it really matter which of them said it? The point I'm making is still valid.
Quote:
Quote:
Considering the agony of the parents of the pupils, Obama said, “In these girls, Barack and I see our own daughters. We see their hopes, their dreams – and we can only imagine the anguish their parents are feeling right now. Many of them may have been hesitant to send their daughters off to school, fearing that harm might come their way. But they took that risk because they believed in their daughters’ promise and wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed.â€
You can argue that the Obama girls' risk in going to school -- even before their father was involved in politics -- isn't really comparable to the risk of a girl in Nigeria...
Yeah. Kinda the point. If someone who has ever in their life feared for their daughters safety merely walking to school were saying it, I'd give them at least a bit of a pass. But that's not the Obamas.
Quote:
...but the thrust of it was pretty obviously "We're parents as well and know what it's like to be invested in your children".
Nah. I'm pretty sure they were making the same "we're black and they're black so we understand the situation better than any white person, especially any white conservative, ever could" argument that we seem to get all the time. You honestly don't see that this is code for "if conservatives disagree with anything we do in this matter, call them racists"? Cause that's what it is.
Quote:
But I suppose getting both the person and the message wrong counts as a good reason as any to start crying about how the president is playing some race card and babbling on some half-assed screed about "the Left" and yadda yadda. Here's something I've learned about "the Right": They would rather cry about "the Left" than read a fucking article and get some basic facts correct. My post is my cite.
We'll stop leaping to this assumption the moment we stop being called racist every time we disagree with the president. Cause he's black. And apparently, skin color is the only factor the Left thinks matters when deciding whether to agree or disagree with someone. You can't honestly say you haven't noticed this trend.

Which does certainly support the theory that at least some people on the Left seem to weigh skin color more than other factors, like say poverty, culture, language, etc. I'm reasonably certain, for example, that there's millions of poor white folks who's children have more in common with Treyvon Martin than any son Obama might have raised.
Those poor white kids were murdered for being black? Wow, that seems like *quite* a stretch, even from a known hopeless racist like you.

Poor white kids are far more likely to be assaulted because of their skin color (well, for any reason really) than rich black kids. Ergo, they have a lot more in common with poor black kids than rich black kids do. They're more likely to be pressured into joining a gang. More likely to get involved in crime. More likely to be a victim of crime. So yeah, poor kids of all skin colors have a lot more in common than they do with any rich kid, regardless of skin color.
Poverty is a far stronger common factor than skin color. It's good of you to prove my point about many liberals not being able to see past skin color though. So thanks for that, I guess!

Of course it's the Obamas, you moron. Their children are orders of magnitude more likely to have harm attempted at them than average.

Oh, wait, I see the problem, you're confused because your party has spent 45 years thinking up code words for nigger. That's not an "everyone does that" sort of thing, you see. People who aren't racists, or completely catering to racists don't have to bother with code words. That's why with the Martin killing Obama simply said "if I had a son he'd look like him". See, just a declarative sentence. He didn't have to say "if I had a son he'd probably live in an urban area and listen to gangsta rap and be on public assistance" to get his point about skin color across.

They aren't, actually. Pretty easy to establish. Nice complete wild guess though.

The average? Maybe. Typical poor kid walking to school in the ghetto? Not close. Typical kid walking to school in Nigeria? Barely on the same damn planet. You're also forgetting the fact that their children have secret service protection and the other kids don't. So... WTF?

Yes. That focused entirely on the fact that Obama shared a similar skin tone with Martin. Get it? He wasn't even attempting to hide behind some absurd claim that this was about how his hypothetical son might have to walk the mean streets of Sanford FL or something. See. He says stuff like that and counts on people like you to make up BS to cover for it.
Which you obligingly do. How does it feel to be used?

Um... And? Did Mrs Obama mention a single thing her daughters have in common with these girls (other than sex and race)? She mentioned their risks, but they don't equate to anything her daughters have ever experienced. So what do you think she's saying with "we see our daughters in them"? I'm simply observing that it's a turn of phrase that I've noticed coming from him (them), that I've never noticed other presidents doing. It's not like Clinton didn't have a daughter, nor Bush. Yet I don't recall either of them making a point about comparing their children to some victim/child out there somewhere. Do you?

Then establish it. Oh wait! You wont. Because when you make completely absurd claims that fly in the face of any logic and reason, you don't think it's important to back them up.
You seriously think a rich black kid is remotely as likely to be the victim of a crime as a poor white kid? Again, you're kinda proving my point about how overly obsessed some liberals are about race. What you're saying is ridiculous. Crime rates are primarily based on geography and social status, not skin color.

What the fuck are you talking about? His point was that Martin was killed because he was a black kid and that if he had a son that son would be a black kid and face the same risks of being killed by random gun toting doucebag. There's no subtext. There's nothing to defend. Simple statement of fact. Kid killed because he was black. Obama's kid would be black. Black kids are at substantially higher risk of being shot. Black kids of ALL socioeconomic statuses. Why? Racism. I guess if you're playing "let's make pretend racism isn't a thing for rich people!" it would be confusing, but for people living in "reality" it's not very confusing.

Right. Start off by erroneously declaring Michelle Obama (or maybe Barack! Who can read an article and know! Does it matter? It's a mystery!) only cares about these girls because they're black, completely miss the point of her statements about parenthood and then cry about how you get called racist. Man, you guys should put this on a bumper sticker for your minority outreach.
