    I've got no patience for bad faith posting on this specific topic, and I'm not going to mince words about it. If it bothers you that much, you're welcome to place me on ignore.

    I didn't consider his last response to be bad faith.  Misguided and simplistic, perhaps.  I can understand your disagreement with his opinion, especially given your personal attachment to and passion regarding this issue, but perhaps you might want to reflect on whether a kneejerk response like the last one was warranted.

    I'm not sure why I'm bothering to respond to you, you absolute fucking idiot. You should say less. Everything you have posted on this topic has been riddled with half-truths, outright lies, and incredibly stupid conclusions.

    You think supporting a cease fire is supporting Hamas? You fucking moron, stop posting. Fuck off. You are literal trash.

    I will go ahead and lump this stupid fucking post in with the drivel from statsman as well.

    Well that was a measured response.

    So until this morning I was clueless about He Gets Us, and actually thought the Super Bowl foot-washing ad was pretty good without context. Without getting too religious, the story of Jesus (not the Jesus portrayed by the hard right) washing his disciples’ feet is an ancient tale of selfless love, humility, and service.

    Now knowing that it’s funded by those Hobby Lobby fucksticks, I totally get @troph’s ire on the Super Bowl commercial thread. What’s the play there? A gay man sees a commercial with a priest washing a gay man’s foot and asks, “Wait, Jesus loves the gays?”, then goes on the He Gets Us website, stumbles on some right-wing fundamentalist Christian theology, and then suddenly decides to be not gay?

    Look closer at the commercial - every oppressor is the one doing the Jesus like behavior. It was terrible from the get go.

    Ah, I see that.  I didn't notice during the first viewing because it took a few seconds to figure out what the hell was going on.

    The ad reminded me of the current pope, and how he shocked conservatives by washing the feet of women. And non-Catholics. And prisoners.

    More on this.

    At least David Green is open about the fact that he hates gays.

    Fuckers.

    The truth behind the ‘He Gets Us’ ads for Jesus airing during the Super Bowl

    What they're selling:

    What you're actually getting:

     

    Also somewhat humorous and ironic is the use of INXS for the background music.  Yeah the lead singer died by accidentally autoerotically asphyxiating himself.  What would GOP Jesus have thought of that?

    Well, you might have stumbled onto why the story is not being reported much by left wing outlets.

    The story is being reported widely by the local news outlets as well as national "left wing" news outlets such as CNN.  But continue to view this through a partisan lens, by all means.

    Some players would get kicked out of game for yelling at the coach in the game. Established players with a relationship with the coach get some level of a pass. Coaches today are often more of a partner with the long term players. In some leagues, the players can get a coach replace if the coach doesn't fit the players.

    I think my words were clear. Obviously the fact that Iraq and Afghanistan involved the invasion of American troops is a meaningful distinction. The lessons learned however wrt articulating and communicating to the American people clear goals and the unwind strategy are transferable to other situations, such as Ukraine.

    To be fair, I don't think @Anastasis has any real principles on this board other than being a contrarian ass. He has generally been better outside of the cloakroom and that's cause here he just likes to troll.
