Stacey Dash supports Mitt Romney

[Jello Biafra]

Come on dog...Kid Rock? Hulk Hogan?

And I feel Kerry Washington has more than illustrated why she voted for and will vote for Obama. Not sure about Eva Longoria but both of these people have something in common: they are female. Why would they vote for the GOP when the party has continuously made it clear that they have archaic views on womens rights, reproductive or otherwise???

The reason why Dash is getting criticism is because she falls into various catagories that make people question why she would support a man and a party that would seek to limit her freedoms and marginalize her voice and power in this country, just off the strength of her ethnicity and gender which are things that for the most part she has no control over.

Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan are bigger celebrities than Dash by a mile.

And Dash's gender and race should not be automatic triggers to make people lose their shyt and act like she is copmmitting some crime. She is not the only black person who supports Republicans and she isn't the only woman who is supporting Republicans.
People need to stop with the attempts at trying to make this anything more substantive than what it is which is an an attack on her for not falling in line because a black person not voting for Obama is seen as some sort of repudiation of one's own race.

She is voting for a man and a party whose views directly conflict with her very existence

She's no different than a Nazi Jewish person

Your going to have to elaborate. Thats a pretty strong statement what policies contradict with her very existence. I don't recall annhiliating black females being a part of the republican platform.

I can't respect your intellect. Your brash you don't reason and i've never seen you give a well thought out argument. I've had philosophical debates with some smart people here who disagree with me and have challenged me very well. I have yet to see it from you other than juvenile high school insults that just lump into some category as if i don't have my own thoughts or own set of circumstances and every conservative person is some monolithic evil hitler in your eyes. Grow up man

I'm pretty much not going to elaborate because it would be wasteful to explain things to you, a person who has fooled quite a few posters on this board into thinking you've turned over a new leaf or some shyt as far as politics are concerned. Kinda like Mitt Romney actually. Especially since as the thread has gone on, I've gotten even more detailed with every post.

As for the last part...eh...go fukk yourself honestly

The thing I don't understand is why anyone feels the need to be critical of her political viewpoint to begin with whether rational or irrational.

People "felt the need" to criticize her for the same reasons that she "felt the need" to announce her political views and endorse Romney. Personally, I don't understand why she "felt the need" to announce her political views and endorse Romney to begin with. She should've kept her view to herself in my opinion. I damn sure didn't ask her who she was going to vote for. She opened herself up to both rational and irrational criticism when she decided to announce her views. I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

And why is she being attacked so vigorously when people like Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan have publicly proclaimed their intentions to vote for Mitt Romney with nary a tweet being ent.

I don't know if you're acting ignorant or what, but this should be self explanatory. First of all, you don't know what kind of backlash Hogan and Kid Rock have received for their public proclamations. 2nd, Hogan and Rock are both white men so why should anybody be shocked that they identify with a party that disproportionately caters to white men? As it has already been explained, a big reason that Dash is receiving criticism is because she seems to be voting against her best interests. There are legit reasons for why Romney does poorly amongst women and blacks. That doesn't mean no black woman has the right to be a republican, but people are just curious as to why Dash is.

Conversely nobody is blowing up the Twitter accounts of Eva Longoria or Kerry Washington calling them out their name or even offering a well-stated opposing viewpoint as to why their unwavering support of Obama is wrongheaded..
They want to vote for who they want to vote for and people seem to accept it and keep it moving with them. So why is Stacey Dash supporting Romney such a controversial thing other than people being mad that a famous black woman doesn't want to vote for Obama?

Again, how do you know that people like Washington and Longoria haven't been challenged on their political views? You don't know, you're just talking. Again, a big reason that people are challenging Dash and her decision to endorse and advocate for Romney is because she seems to be supporting a person/party that's counterproductive to her(and people like her) best interests. Based on the platforms of Romney and Obama, its logical for people like Washington and Longoria to support Obama over Romney, and thats why people are not as shocked or critical of their views. You keep ignoring that acting as if you just don't get it and maybe you don't, but you should. Name a big male country star in the country right now. Well, let whoever that is go on twitter and announce that he's endorsing Obama and see how his fans react. This is common sense. You act like this is a non controversial issue that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, and people should just respect her opinion regardless of what it is. To a lot of people this election is serious business and the outcome is of the utmost importance. If you can't handle your opinion being challenged regarding controversial issues, then keep them to yourself. It's that simple.

Stacy can vote for who she wants but I think she did this for publicity. It's obvious after she was let go from "Single Ladies" she hasn't been getting to much work. This is the most I've seen or heard from Stacy Dash all year. I think she's trolling and again it worked, got on TV, got Interviews. LOL @ republicans not even knowing who she is. Her fanbase is overwhelming democratic voting, this is why I think she's getting backlash. Me personally I don't care if my favorite rapper or actor has different voting views than myself. If Stacy wants to vote against her interest then let her, that's her problem. I do think the Backlash is about race cause honestly most of the people who know Stacy Dash don't vote republican, that's just facts. LOL @ Fox News and everyone having to look up her catalog. Most everyone how listens to Hip Hop or RnB or have watched Stacy in movies knows her catalog. With all that said. Republcian or not, Stacy can still get it anyday of the week:

If she's successful in helping Romney and the republicans win, then it's all of our problem don't you think? Some of you need to spend less time online, a lack of sex really dominates you all's live. I mean who cares if "she can get it"? She's pushing 50 and you don't have a shot.

LOL, You really think Stacy Dash is going to sway the black vote? She don't have power like that, she was out of the media and off the screen, nobody was even thinkin about her. This ish hurts her more than Helps Romney cause her fanbase is mostly black. Romney right now is polling 0% of the black vote which is the worst number for a presidential candidate since the 64 voting rights act went into place. Stacy doesn't have no pull to make that number go up. Also I've been watching Stacy for over 20 years, Saying "I don't have a shot" is irrelevent, i don't have a shot with a lot of women that doesn't mean I can't voice the fact she's still fine. Again Stacy was trolling to me. I know people are saying "Oh she dates white guys" but she has dated Black guys too. But no this doesn't help Romney, Stacy fell off acting wise a long time ago. She's basically eye candy at this point. Again I grew up on Stacy, I will always have love for her. But I think it was weak 1 month before the election she want to come out all the sudden hating on Obama. Again if she's mad at the backlash, look in the mirror cause you should know most of your fanbase and audience vote democratic. Cause those republicans ain't going to be supporting you, it's your black fanbase so she lost money off this. Also Stacy may be black but she's in the 1%, so I'm not shocked, a lot of millionaires don't want Obama in cause he's going to raise taxes on the rich.

You can do whatever you want to do. Just because someone questions something that you've done doesn't mean that they are telling you that you can't do it. You people need to let that sink in so that you can understand. You can sit up here and pine over Stacy Dash and how "she could get it" how you'd smell her butthole and all that corny stuff all you want, it's still corny though. It's also irrelevant to the topic at hand. I just skimmed thru this post but my only issue was with you saying that her voting against her(our) best interests only effects here, that's clearly won't be the case if Romney does end up winning.

You've proved my point and i'm sorry i don't have the time to go back pages to see how insightful you might have been...if you have really have an honest intellectual retort it wouldn't take much effort to repeat it

but to insinuate that either party wants to get rid of blocs of people is ridiculous...same thing with the death panels

you can argue something is an unintended consequence but to accuse people of having an evil intent with their beliefs or policies is just partisan crap that both sides engage in

Do i really think democrats want to kill old people with Obamacare of course not...its just a possible consequence when your faced with legislation that will have to figure out how to distribute health funds and care when its centrally managed and organized

Do you really think Republicans want poor people to suffer? No you will make the argument that the policies make poor people poorer but someone who believes in free market policies doesn't believe that. That person would believe in the idea that you can create wealth and offer more opportunities for the poor...

its a debate about who's ideas are better for people i don't think either side has malicious intent unless your talking individual politicians who are only looking out for their own power...thats different but people who believe in philosophies i find 99% have good intentions regardless of where they fall

Afghanistan? Definitely.

Iraq? Arguably. Personally I don't agree with the war, but there is a big difference between "faulty intelligence leading us into a bad war" and "US imperialism out for oil." I believe it was faulty intelligence that led us to a bad war.

And um... Bombing of Syria? What?

i have to skip to the end and tell you that our social order has distorted your moral compass for what justifies war. wars should only be fought when absolutely necessary, they should not be fought for wealth, greed, or territorial expansion.

or at least if youre gonna do that then call it that. ghengus khan didnt go around saying he was spreading democracy, he let you know what it is. i wish the united states could just be up front with their gangsta.

what we do to other countries is criminal, period.

if another country did to us what we do to other countries, we would call them terrorists and be outraged.

but when america terrorizes people it it's called democracy. you gotta wake up fam.

let me ask you a honest question, would you personally go fight in these wars?

and i was thinking of yemen, not syria.

If Kerry Washington debated this bish, it would be a massacre. She seemed like a bubblehead on CNN yesterday. She did say her son is an Obama supporter. Im convinced she did this for attention.

Not everyone that is critical of her opinion has accused her of doing anything wrong. You seem to want to paint anybody that had a critical tweet of her opinion with the same broad brush, and that makes your position anti-intellectual. You're in here arguing against strawmen arguments and making broad generalizations that are invalid, so that's why you don't hold any weight here. Instead of focusing on the irrational, why don't you focus on the rational? There are rational criticisms and opposing viewpoints to be made regarding Dash's endorsement and if you cant admit that then you're just as bad as the people on twitter that you're whining about.

i think you need to go back and read what i posted. I stated explicitly that there are valid criticisms of her endorsement, all i said is that people should state their objections and keep it moving because its not that serious

what i object to is the insults and the over the top statements, that is why i focused on it, i believe they are anti intellectual and create a politically oppressive environment

IMO having an open free intellectual environment in the black community is just as important if not more important than obama getting elected, and the cost of creating that environment is tolerating views that some people may find objectionable or stupid

at the end of the day she did nothing wrong because its a free country, that's the bottom line

Dash: "I don't understand the fury, I don'... - YouTube

i have to agree, i dont see what the big deal is, black people are just embarrassing ourselves with this overly emotional response

You need to read what you said, because this is what I read. I saw you making broad generalizations in order to cape for Dash. The irrational people that chose to challenge Dash don't represent "black people". I don't see this as a case of black people embarrassing ourselves. You're playing into the narrative of certain people when you pay so much attention to the irrational people as if they represent us all. I mean enough with the "she didn't do anything wrong, she's not a bad person" stuff already. She chose to put herself on front street just for the attention, and she got it.
