Bob was at the top of his chosen profession. To a lot of extent, he is from a passing era in sports writing. Few sportswriters and editors have had the excellent longevity and following of Bob West. How many people work for a single newspaper for almost 5 decades?
He called ‘em like he saw ‘em. A few times I definitely would not agree on his perspective on an issue or player but the proof of his skill was that I always came back to read what he had to say on his next article. 
He definitely has left a legacy of events that he has been involved with from roasts, to celebrity golf events, to contests and I believe that he was instrumental in creating and bringing the Bum Phillips Trophy to Mid-County Madness which I think was thought up by members of his staff.
 I had spoken to West on a couple of occasions, mostly from working security at events. I have known his wife Genie for probably about 40 years from her work as a nurse at St. Mary Hospital and me being a police officer.
 The likes of Bob West don’t come along often in a lifetime.
Condolences to his family and friends. 

That doesn’t have anything to do with any other genre.
It is a comparison of lyrics. It’s also called an analogy. 
For example… 
A guy sings a country song and at some point the lyrics say, “don’t mess with me or I’ll hurt you”.
Someone who listens to rap is outraged at such violent lyrics. At the same time we find out that his favorite rap song has a verse that says, “don’t mess with me or I’ll hurt you”. 
That is selective outrage.
Every person absolutely has the ability and right to be selectively outraged.
We are just calling it for what it is.

Good thing I never mentioned dictating feelings.
All I said was that there is almost no way that someone saw that video and went, OMG! A guy was lyched there 100 years ago.
 That would mean that someone was actively looking at different aspects of the video and doing a Google searches to try to find a reason to be offended.

That again, is reaching for an answer.
Who watched that video for the first time and immediately said, oh my gosh, that is a courthouse where a person was lynched 100 years ago. Likely no one  
Who would recognize it? Probably a better question would be, who did the research to find something in the video to be offended by? Why would anyone try to google something in the background in a song? Was this courthouse some well known symbol of racism? If so, why was Hannah Montana mostly filmed not only in that city, Columbia, TN, but at least one scene shot at the very same courthouse? Maybe Mikey Cyrus was pushing a hidden agenda on racism in front of that apparently well known symbol of hate…. that no one would recognize unless they were told to do so.
If a person are looking for that nail, he will find it.
Not that I would expect most people to view this 34 minute clip from Candace Owens. If a person is so inclined, scroll to the 8 minute mark and see Hannah Montana coming out of the same courthouse. Then go to around the 15 minute mark and look at some of the lyrics of current top 40 music.

Extremely selective outrage. 

Ouch!!
…admitted his claims of election fraud were all lies. CB

I think the people that are bothered by it, are told to be bothered by it.
 If the same lyrics were out in a rap song, it would be hailed as brilliance.

lol, smh

That is ridiculous. It is the rationalization of the left. “They must be doing this because…..”.
Trump supporters like what he does. Almost no Trump supporters likes the way he acts or who he supports.

You’re equating a desire to have a winning ticket with love. There are no conservatives that think JFKjr is their answer other than an election. 
If people could look into a crystal ball and see that Trump was going to win no matter if he picked DeSantis, JFKjr, Ramaswamy, Cruz or Scott…. JFKjr would would almost certainly be last on the list.
 If the crystal ball said that Trump could only win with JFKjr, guess who conservatives are going to pick? 

No doubt he’s a liberal. I just made the statement that I agree with him on some issues. He’s a rational individual on some issues but not enough for me to vote for him over Trump or Desantis. 

PA Thomas Jefferson hotdogs. 
 
Close the thread… 🙃

That was going to be my answer. Before the first bite, you better start walking that way…..

It’s just what we do. It is like looking at a lot of things that might be disturbing to many people. I think it is like some medical professions, members of the military in a war, etc. You knew it going in. Of course we have had people quit in training.
 I have arrested a teenager who admitted to sexually assaulting his 7 year old sister. I have arrested a man for continually doing it to his 12 year old step-daughter and then caught in the act. After he was in jail awaiting an indictment and trial, his wife (child’s mother) came to me and recanted her statement. I guess she didn’t want to lose her husband’s paycheck and that was more important than her daughter.
 Things like that are disturbing. 
 The things we see…….

According to the article:
”Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., calling Israel a "racist state" over the weekend”.
So Israel, who are people of Middle Eastern descent, are racist because they don’t like being killed by Arabs and other Muslims, who are people of Middle Eastern descent?
I wonder if the thinks that of the Arab and/or predominantly Muslim countries in the same region, who will have a person executed for blasphemy due to a difference in religion? Does Israel have such laws?
No, I didn’t think so.
 It’s not that selective outrage is stupid, which it is. It’s the sheer stupidity of Israel saying that we don’t like you killing us due to our religion while ignoring the other side saying, we will kill you over religion, which what causes Israel to not like them.
Certainly anyone can see how nonsensical the Democratic politicians are. The ones that don’t believe in what the squad is saying, certainly won’t call them out.
