Why don't you just assume that if anyone wanted to read the latest townhall article, they would be visiting that site on their own volition?
I am well aware that you post nothing BUT links to townhall articles, so if you stopped it's possible you wouldn't be posting here at all... but I'm actually fine with that.

I know, why don't you just leave and you'd never have to see a Townhall article again. Just think how closed you could keep your mind.

Which doesn't excuse her from the repercussions. Had she been white and said something similar about Obama you'd be up in arms.

Not at all. Obama didn't need my help. He could take care of himself, unlike the manchild, Donny Trump.

Why should she suffer any repercussion anyway? She is a free citizen of this nation. How can you condone the president striking out at something a free and independent person has to say about him? Apparently you don’t give a shit about freedom of speech. But then your behavior doesn’t surprise me either. I see you time and time again chastising women on this site for saying things you don’t approve of. Mocking on women seems to be your game.

here's what I assume blinker---that most people would appreciate having the relevant information RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM and not have to go look for it.

also, gee, I didn't know ive posted ~5300 townhall articles! that is a lot isn't it??

wait, this post doesn't have one! maybe I am turning over a new leaf!

One would think that the president of the United States would have more important agenda than to respond to comments made about him on social media.

The action of the presidents spokesperson calling out a citizen for expressing her opinion is itself a chilling effect on free speech, not only on other celebrities but on political actors as well.

Yes she does work for an international Corporation and apparently a fairly successful one. Which places her all the more in jeopardy from comments made by the presidents spokesperson, because underlying the public chastisement is the possibility that the power of the president’s office could lean against the corporation and push it to fire its employee. I’m not making any accusation that such a thing is taking place but it is a possibility isn’t it?

Whenever the government slaps person down for saying something that is an assault on the most vital institution of our democracy which is free-speech.

Maybe because 'hope and change' isn't quite the same thing as 'rapists and murderers/build the wall/blame Mexico, China, Islam, etc.'.

Pres. Obama later acknowledged that his words may have inflamed the situation and maybe he could have rephrased what he said. I guess saying that the cop acted stupidly was not the president at his best form. However, the issue at hand was racial profiling and the arrest of a citizen for being a loudmouth. The police were called to Prof. Gates home by third-party who thought she saw somebody trying to break in. But when the police got there they were confronted by the homeowner, Prof. Gates. The verbal interchange between Prof. Gates and Ofc. Crowley became heated and Crowley arrested Gates basically for being obnoxious. So I don’t see how Crowley was following procedure and just doing his job. Gates was a loudmouth and Crowley was a bully. And the president acknowledged that he should not have made the remark he made. When have we ever seen the current president acknowledged wrongdoing? Ha!
