Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

    Has anyone commented just how plain weird this guy is? I mean don’t get me wrong, he’s old, he’s tremendously old, but he’s also just SO weird, right?

    • This guy, and let me tell you some people really say it, is the absolute, no really he is and I’m telling you the truth, you wouldn’t believe it, they say he is weird and nobody else is weirder.

        Tears in their eyes, they come to me and they say, “sir, oh sir” and did I mention these are BIG men okay, motorcycle men, crying, and they’ve never cried before because they are so tough and so big, okay? So they say to me, they say, “sir! You’re weird and old, sir” and it’s true okay, like you’ve never seen. [Fart]

        The “this weird thing seems forced” thing seems like a weak response to an effective tactic.

        It’s effectively highlighting how they are just really, truly, fucking plain weird - like Ted Cruz giving a high five weird and “if she wasn’t my daughter I’d pay her to have sex with me” dangerous weird. It’s also important that they contrast with a platform of “we’re normal hardworking Americans, like you”. No you aren’t… You’re fucking weird.

        It’s not about you, the fact that that is how you receive it is something you can work on personally. But again, not about you, friend.
