Yeah Fox News and MSNBC are a total wash on either end of the spectrum.

Oh yeah definitely, but in terms of propaganda they're right there. When I was unemployed it used to drive me nuts.

My Dad is a big fan of The Ed Show, mainly because my Dad is incredibly liberal. I've watched a few episodes of that show, and he can be overly dramatic sometimes, but it's definitely not as bad as that Jack of All Assholes Hannity. I almost put Hannity up to the level of Limbaugh, in terms of how much of a total jackass he is. Not quite, but just about there.
I mean there are good points brought up on the show.....but then the minute it goes from point/factual evidence into Ed Schultz's opinion on it, it becomes just absolutely awful.


Hannity really is such a total douchebag.

So funny how many people are upset about it as if it makes any fucking difference. No one gave a shit when De La Hoya did it, but some rando does it and now it's unpatriotic.

I can see the point of the editorial. When you put on that jersey, you're voluntarily choosing to represent the country. Not you. Your country. Nobody made him choose to represent the USA; he chose it himself, willingly.

And when your country has a problem with you holding up a flag of your heritage alongside it your country really sucks.

I think it'd probably still be an issue, albeit a smaller one.

Of course there wouldn't be a problem if an Italian did it, because our entire country is just rife with racism, isn't it?

Eugh

It's cute that he is proud of where he is from but he was raised in the USA, and was open to opportunities he otherwise wouldn't have. It's the team that trained him and got him through the Olympics. I'm not offended, but it's dumb, and the author is completely right that there are groups of Mexican Americans with serious identity issues.
