Is Chris Rock Really This Stupid?

[Jello Biafra]

The President is "our boss"? The President and First Lady are the "mom and dad of the country". What the hell is wrong with dude?
He should have just stood quietly behind the rest of the celebrities and kept his dumb ass far, far away from that microphone.

Very sad.

I thought it was some sort of joke but the only joke is Chris Rock.

Fails to see how what he said was so offensive. So had he said "leader", would that have been satisfactory enough to avoid faux outrage? Isnt this semantical, here?

Actually, "boss" and "leader" are significantly different words, particularly when referring to government.

Slow down Toure.

"The President and the First Lady is like the Dad and the Mom of the country, so when your dad says something, you listen" is absolute garbage.

Rock to Bush: You're a "Retard!" | TMZ.com

Rock didn't seem to listen when a white Republican was in office. The President wasn't his "Dad" or "boss" back then.

There is not a question of playing semantics in my annoyance with his comments. What he said was completely wrong and idiotic.

Chris got a little emotional. Happens to the best of us.

"significantly different"...lol. Sounds like an emotionally laden process aided you in that conclusion. The overarching idea is that we are subordinates, fam, which both satisfy. Slightly nuanced difference in word choice none withstanding .

Aright Hannity. Ill chill.

Surely you can appreciate the cognitive mapping here between the two presidents. Obama, in this instance is offering common sense legislation for the betterment of the nation. Bush was.....well. If we are to extend this 'parent' metaphor, then Obama is the well reasoned parent who sits you down and provides measured advice and suggestions --- Bush is a bumbling drunk of a dad who never fails to intrude on your life resulting in a net negative. You'll "listen" to both, but one holds more value and respect.

its not that its offensive its that it shows a fundamentalmisunderstanding of how this democracy is suppose to work, in democracy the voter is the boss and the leader is suppose to listen

Hannity?

What common sense legislation are you talking about? What well reasoned advice and suggestions are you talking about?

Stealing TARP money? Working with Big Banks to break up legal protests? Squashing whistleblowers? Secretly torturing people? Letting people die without being charged? Killing children in illegal strikes? Writing memos that provide illegal reasoning to effectively sentence people to death without a trial? No prosecuting wall street theives?

What part of the above shows common sense and well reasoned advice?

You're defending a dumb ass statement made by a partisan hack Rock. In the video, he mentioned none of what you did. He said the President and First Lady (a non-elected official by the way) are the mom and dad of this country. Yet, that's not the way he felt about Bush, and probably wouldn't feel about Romney. The fact that you defend this nonsense just goes to show how people believe in such nonsense in the first place.

I guess he really wants an invite to host some white house event with his obnoxious voice.

 

[newworldafro]

yeah its a trip.....

Voters are the ones who put him in office, he's supposed to work for the people - not the other way around.

Can you fire your boss? No? Alrighty then.

Oh would you calm the fck down! Jesus...this issue is about American gun violence between American citizens, not Tarp, geo-political conflicts w/ interest to national defense, economic class warfare, etc, etc, etc. Fck outta here trying to lecture me with your sanctimonious attitude.

If you weren't so goddamn full of yourself, you would understand that based on my contributions here Im in agreement w/ you when it comes to a whole range of issues, but I can also divorce myself from a comprehensive view of a political figure and appreciate an idea based on its own terms. In that vain, I understand what Rock was trying to communicate --- Im not going to call him "stupid", and make him responsible for co-signing economic or foreign policy malfeasance, simply because he supports the prez on limiting the number of murders in this country. Fckin e-revolutionary. SMH.
