Fox News Sunday...I honestly feel dumber for having watched her contribution. At least she used to be pseudo-attractive, now she's just an aging, bimbo idiot...and she was almost VP...

We should incarcerate every person that buys her new "Christmas" book.
 
I expected this thread to be about that fucktard on MSNBC that said someone should shit in Palin's mouth.

I voted for Obama in 08 in large part bc of her inclusion on the R ticket. She makes Herman Cain almost look competent.
 
Martin Bashir is behaving like an ignoramous. Other than being crude beyond all belief, he seems to fail to realize in his little juvenile lecturette that historically there have been many different types of slavery, not just the form useful for his polemic. The United Nations has, for example, described debt bondage as a "modern form of slavery." Palin may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but she was obviously exaggerating to dramatize the problems of debt. She was not meant to be taken literally. Intellectually limited as she is, Palin appears a lot smarter than the smug, obnoxious and ignorant Bashir.

Q: What's the difference between Martin Bashir and Triumph?
A: One is fluff-filled mouthpiece that plays with feces on NBC, and the other is a doll.

Lose/lose all around. Palin is a moron who wasn't ready to be VP. That's on McCain and Palin for putting herself in that position. SNL and the major networks didn't do her any favorites. She quit to make money and hasn't done anything to improve her shaky grasp of issues. Now she's pimping a book because she's upset that not everybody says Merry Christmas. It's not political correctness, it's common sense to avoid analogies and metaphors involving slavery, Nazis, the Holocaust, Jim Crow, the n word, AIDS, and the mentally challenged. Never ends up well for anyone.

Ueber-lib Alec Baldwin lost his show for calling someone a "cock-sucking fag". He really thought that would play well with MSNBC viewers?!? Bashir thought feeding Palin a dookie and washing it down with piss was going to go over well?!? Palin, Baldwin, Rush, Michael Moore, Beck, Bashir, Coulter, Ed Schultz all need to go.

Very true. I'm trying to think of an instance when one of those analogies made me step back and go wow now I understand thanks for elucidating the subject.

Martin Bashir is the worst person on cable news that I have ever seen and that is saying something

There is a good deal of truth in your advice to use caution around these subjects, especially when comparing them to other things. Of course that also raises a question: why should analogies and metaphores involving these be avoided? Are these things widely misunderstood and so invoking them will lead to further confusion? Are these things rather unique, and so making comparisons with them will be misleading? Do these things evoke feelings and sensibilities, are they so emotion laden, that they have become difficult to compare to other things? Or are they just employed too often and too carelessly for their dramatic and emotional effect?

The bold, mainly. And that leads to the fact that any analogy or metaphor involving these things requires a massive amount of delicacy and nuance that most people just do not possess.
 
Palin even prefaced her statement about debt equaling slavery as potentially being interpreted as racism, so she knew she was treading on a delicate subject, but she wanted to blame that on political correctness. Employs similar tactics when she bags on Obama for using a teleprompter while she's using one or her principled stance denouncing childhood obesity prevention programs. Her base loves her and she makes a very comfortable living, but none of it solves any of the county's more pressing problems. Still amazed that she has a base after proclaiming multiple times that she could beat Obama in 2012, but didn't run.

Bashir's a moron for taking the bait and MSNBC looks bad for putting up with a thoughtless nasty remark that doesn't help anyone. These people are all in the shock jock business and people can find them if they want, but it shouldn't be news when stupid biased people say something stupid and biased. Much easier to avoid certain subjects unless you're deliberately trying to provoke a response.
 
If you're watching Fox News Sunday you're going to become dumber no matter the guest.

I think it is all of the above.
Are these things widely misunderstood and so invoking them will lead to further confusion? Yes, see, e.g., every moron who opines that if the Jews had just had guns there wouldn't have been a Holocaust
Are these things rather unique, and so making comparisons with them will be misleading? Yes, see, e.g., every moron who thinks that it is the same thing when a white person and a black person uses the N word.
Do these things evoke feelings and sensibilities, are they so emotion laden, that they have become difficult to compare to other things? Yes, and they are misused in an attempt to leverage their emotional baggage onto other topics that are not nearly as serious. See, e.g., comparing debt to slavery or comparing pretty much any American politician to Hitler.
Or are they just employed too often and too carelessly for their dramatic and emotional effect? Yes, see, e.g., the entire internet.
 
When you have to preface a statement as not being racist you probably should just not make that statement.

It's the equivalent of looking over your shoulder before you're about to tell an off-color joke.
