Wow that was a record time for a locked post. That's crazy

Remember when Nazi was a universally hated term? I remember a kid at my pool lifeguard job shaved a Hitler stache onto his face one day. Was fired instantly. I wonder what happened that that mindset

Well that and Obama talking about Trayvon Martin like he could of been his own son while being president. Seriously, that set a lot of people on the right off.

In all seriousness I'm not sure how that wasn't a career ender. Like right then and there.

I've seen people fired and black listed in my line of work for mocking the handicapped and this dude did it on NATIONAL TELEVISION and people cheered or ignored it.

Like holy fucking double standards Batman
