    May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
    Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
    And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
    may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

                    So you wouldn't discount the source.

                    So the meme seems to be true.

                      Ah. Not an attempt to make it look like it "reporters" instead of "reporter."

                      So the meme seems to be true.
                      Having someone ask Chelsea about her dad (who isn't running) is the opposite of the meme.

                      Unless it's guns you mean. Or Trump. Or "Binders full of women." Or Republicans. Or Fox News. Or.....
                      You might want to look up the word "prurient."

                      And again, I am not the liberal you are looking for. I never said anything about Romney and the binders thing other than questioning why people were making a big deal out of it.

                        My first example:

                        181860_600.jpg

                        That's a caricature of Roger Ailes squeezing Gretchen Carlson's ass. That's not prurient?

                        Example 2:

                        bo160615.jpg

                        That depicts a man kissing a gun, furthering the "gun fetish" you so often use as a smear. Isn't sexualizing a man and a gun prurient?

                        Example 3:

                        ColeJ20160329_low.jpg

                        One man peering at another man's genitals in a restroom. Yes, that is also prurient.

                        Maybe you should look up the word.

                          I will give you the first one but I didn't really notice that aspect of it. I was laughing more at the Fox feeding the kook thing giving voice to the weirdos in the Republican Party. The stupidity of the idea that the president is causing racial divisions is breathtaking.

                          The second one? No.

                          Third one? No.

                          Neither are prurient. Not even close. You had to really stretch for that.
