You really do parrot far too much content from liveleak trump.
Pat Condell has been spouting the same thinly veiled racist spunk since the 80s there is no shortage of special people willing to lap it up.

What irony is that trump? Your little quips are wearing thin around here since you exposed yourself for what you really are.
If you have something to say just say it dont be scared.
Hiding behind thinly veiled racism is fine but dont be suprised when people judge you by it.
Post all the smilies you like if that is all you have.

It is NOT racist to criticise religion.It happens constantly on here.If it were racist then half of us would be banned.
I personally see Islam as a backwards out of date medievil religion which refuses to pull itself out of the dark ages.
Am i racist?No.I went to school in a mainly Muslim area and had friends who were Muslim.
I have nothing against anybody because of their skin colour or place of origin,
Just the backwards religion that many of them believe.Alot of Muslims are decent people who would not harm anyone but it still does'nt stop me from branding their religion backwards and archaic.
It is funny how in the eyes of these idiotic people the man talks about you can criticise the religions mainly followed by white people until you're blue in the face but say one bad thing about Islam and you're a racist.These people have been taught the wrong definition of the word by confused people before them and the confusion is passed down creating more people who don't know what the word 'racist' means until the whole definition of the word is skewed to fit their agenda.

racist
ˈreɪsɪst/
noun
1.
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
"I had a fear of being called a racist"
synonyms: racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist; More
adjective
1.
having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.
"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at a newsagents"

^This definition does not include the critism of a particular religion and if we don't agree with that religion we are free to say so.

"Racism" is banded around too much these days, that's true. It's also not entirely untrue that there are people who go too far the other way, and seek to excuse the inexcusable for fear of being thought of as racist.

However... I watched the video... and I'm afraid to say that I don't see much in it other than a frustrated and bitter old man trying - in a really convoluted, patronizing way - to justify his own prejudices. His video can be summed up thus;

"Hey u stop calling me racist I'm not racist it's u that's racist coz u called me racist lolz".

Funny how this thread has kind of turned out to make his point, really.

He has a point? Oh I didn't get that, I better watch again.

Yes his primary point was "Boo", with a secondary undertone of "Hoo". He wants to be able to hold strong opinions but doesn't have the balls to own those opinions so has made what can only be described as a "hissy fit" video about the people he perceives as "foolishly" not agreeing with his Ukippy ideals.

We appear to be baking some sort of "irony pie". Ironies upon ironies. It seems that people are so desperate to agree with him that they can plainly see and point out the irony in "exactly those he describes" appearing in the thread to do "exactly what he describes" (even though that hasn't actually happened) but fail to see the immediate and overwhelming irony in the video itself; a man complaining about individuals being lumped under the banner of "racists" in order to dismiss their opinions, whilst in the same breath lumping other individuals under the banner of "progressives" (here used as an obvious slur) in order to... what? Oh yes. In order to dismiss their opinions.

The fact that he does this so easily and so quickly tells me all I need to know about his mindset.

1) People do something he doesn't like or doesn't agree with

2) He finds a lable for those people (in this case "progressives")

3) He makes "progressives" sound like a dirty word

4) He starts referring to those who he has lumped under his chosen term as "They", "Them", "Those People"

5) Add in some hyperbolic sweeping generalisations:

"As they've shown us time and again, there is literally no limit to how low they're prepared to sink."
--
"If not for double standards, they wouldn't have any standards",
--
"There is nothing liberal or decent about the progressive mentality",
--
"It's like shaking hands with a leper"
--
"These wretched people"
--

They they they them them them those people who aren't like meee.


Any of this starting to sound familiar at all? It bloody should. And this is why the accurate term for men like this is Xenophobic, not racist. He appears to dislike anything that is "different to him". In this case he has taken against those he has decided to term "progressives". I honestly despair for anyone who can't see this fellow for what he is.


It would almost be funny if it wasn't so overwhelmingly sad to see a man of such advanced years blubbing like a worked-up 12 year old girl.

Considering your recent sig, I wouldn't count you as being particularly up on racism issues.

I found a lot of what he said to be true. And this thread has just endorsed that for me.

[bitontheslide]

I think he is mixing up progressive with being politically correct. PC has gone wild, and it is giving people a free pass who would not normally have had one. However, I have seen no evidence to suggest that there is a ground swell of support for ISIS on the back of being PC. I also think that the world in general has been astute enough to see the difference between an ordinary law abiding muslim and a terrorist. If he had stuck with political correctness as a topic rather than target an entirely new breed of people under a term that means nothing, his argument would not have lost all sense of perspective.

'Boo Hoo'? There is nothing in the man's demeanour, or in what he is saying, or the manner in which he is saying it, which justifies any perception that he is 'feeling sorry for himself' or which wreaks of 'self-pity' as the term 'Boo hoo' would imply, nor is there anything to suggest he is throwing a 'Hissy Fit'.

Far from it, because he is self-assured and complely confident in what he is saying - so much so that there is glint of occasional mockery both in his eye and in his tone.

'Hissy Fit'? There is nothing in this man's demeanour or behaviour to justify any perception that he is throwing a strop or tantrum. He is cool,calculating and collected - in control of both himself and what he is saying.

As for: '''He wants to be able to hold strong opinions but doesn't have the balls to own those opinions'' - How can you justify saying such nonsense when you are responding to a video which this man has ELECTED to GLADLY make with the EXPRESS PURPOSE of STATING his 'strong' OPINIONS to the WORLD? And this is NOT the only time that this man 'who dare not ''OWN'' his opinions has made videos and published articles in which he expresses his opinion.

Shouting the LOUDEST and having the LARGEST already converted TIBB audience DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE RIGHT.

NONE of which you state so fervently as being in this video is TRUE because this video is merely one highly intelligent, highly eloquent man stating a point of view which is perfectly valid, and the greatest IRONY here is that - on cue,and unprompted - your reaction - ABSOLUTELY PROVES HIM 100% CORRECT.

I KNOW from my own experience - as others do on here - that he is speaking the TRUTH.

When I have written condemning Islamic Extremist Terrorists, I am attacked as being 'Racist' and 'Xenophobic' and accused of ''Attacking ALL Muslims'', and it does not matter HOW MANY TIMES I correct those attacking that I was NOT talking about Muslims, the B.S. perception that I am anti-Muslim,Racist and Xenophobic continues.

It is the same with other topics:

When I have written condemning 'Benefit Scroungers', I am attacked for ''Picking on the poorest most vulnerable members of society'', and it does not matter HOW MANY TIMES I correct those attacking that I was NOT talking about GENUINE CLAIMANTS, the B.S. perception that I am victmising the poor, needy and disabled persists.

I have never heard of Pat Condell or his works before and I do not know whether he is truly 'Racist' or not - but what I DO KNOW, is that NOTHING in this particular video is racist, WHAT HE SAYS in this particular video makes sense, and NOTHING in this particular video justifies your interpretation of it or your hissy fit histrionics.

I do not agree with Condell's term 'Progressives' because I would call such people 'Regressives' purely because, if they have their way we will be living (or more probably dying ) in a barbaric medieval Islamic state.

There is a great nonsensical enigma in the minds of those who Condell does term 'Progressives', and this fact is manifest in every contrary opinion they express;

''Save our National Health'' ''It is UNDERFUNDED'' ''People are being treated in corridors because there are no beds'' ''It is near to collapse''.

Yet whenever anyone points out that our 'Open Door' immigration policy - which affords FREE treatment to unlimited numbers of non-domiciled foreigners - including over 450 million Europeans who have a RIGHT to come here - is exacerbating the strain on the NHS to the detriment of our OWN people, those same voices which lament the demise of the NHS start screaming and shouting 'Racism'and 'Xenophobia' and proclaiming that accommodating immigrants for freebies does not damage the NHS or other services.

It is exactly the same with the Housing CRISIS, our bankrupt BENEFITS system and all our other near to breaking point services.

It's pure LUNACY to denounce the truth in these matters.

I for one have grown so tired of this whole hackneyed, tedious BS, that I could not give two FF's now whether ANYBODY on here or anywhere else for that matter perceives me as Racist, Xenophobic, or whatever.

everything he said here is 100% accurate......progressive radical liberals are the enemy within, wrongly slandering people all the time as sexist racist ageist etc etc this is reverse bigotry....unless they can prove in a court of law their slanderous comments, such people should be charged for defamation of character.
