Chelsea Handler says Ben Carson, Sheriff Clarke are ‘black white supremacists'

2017-09-18

[Right Scoop] Self-proclaimed comedienne Chelsea Handler4had a pretty unfunny preview for her attempts at political comedy. At the end of the clip, she accuses Ben Carson and former Sheriff David Clarke of being "black white supremacists."

Uh, I am no fan of either of these guys, but Handler offers absolutely no reasoning as to why they’re supposed to be white supremacists. I guess just because they support Trump that’s what she can call them? That’s just idiotic and emblematic of the extreme rhetoric of the left.

This kind of normalization of irrational thinking is very insidious, and is exactly why we can’t depend on celebrities to tell us what to think. Being entertaining appears to be mostly mutually exclusive with being an insightful and useful thinker or opinion-maker.

#8 Chris Rock's Niggaz v Black people gig could also be considered a bit like that.

#6 In 1993, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D., N.Y.) coined the phrase “defining deviancy down.”* Moynihan’s thesis was that, as a society, America has been “re-defining deviancy” so as to exempt conduct previously stigmatized, and quietly raising the “normal” level for behavior that was abnormal by earlier standards.

DPM was one of the most intelligent Democrats that we have ever had, and quite possibly the last one. Normalization of the abnormal is just a variant conclusion. The increase in what once was seen as deviancy has provided opportunity to a wide spectrum of interest groups that benefit from re-defining the problem as essentially normal …”

Follow the money is always good advice.

#5 Ben Carson, Sheriff Clarke are ‘black white supremacists'

Considering the fact that most black supremacists (e.g. people who tell us "whites should die") are white, this is only fair.

#3 for someone who slept her way to her current "comedienne" status, she's awfully full of herself

#2 If you can't trust the accusations of white supremacism from the grand daughter of a real Nazi, then who can you trust, Frau Stoecker?

#1 So, why should Chelsea understand classical democracy if her parents don't. Not to be confused with the old 'Peoples Democratic Republic of...'.
