Title: It really is not politics
Post by: vaskidmark on April 20, 2012, 07:04:06 AM
Somewhere between parody and comedy.  Or like the train wreck you are unable to not gawk at as you go by.

Why did I not know about this before now?

Why would I want to know about it now?  (Except that it is so much fun.)

stay safe

Dog is actually pretty good if it is prepared right.

You know that, I know that, and quite a few folks who visited parts of SE Asia know that without knowing they were eating dog.

But that's not the point - which is "What sauce?"

stay safe.

Will Big Media now defend fidophagy? Will they tell us it was OK, because it was a different culture and that makes it alright?  :lol:

Nope.  They'll ignore it.

As they by God should.

The answer should be: This is completely and totally irrelevant to the election, as was the Romney-dog scandal. We are all that much dumber for having considered it.

Probably. If need be, it can always be spun. Like so:

"Small-minded conservative provincials offend dog-eating cultures with their insensitive remarks."

Or,

"Fear-mongering Republicans spread rumors that Obama wants to eat our pets."

Or,

"We've seen horrible racism from this Tea Party movement before, but they're now saying that African-Americans eat dog. Shocking video when we return!"

Yes, that's exactly why it's being brought up.

Of course if it was a republican presidential candidate that had admitted to eating dog they would be getting obliterated in the mainstream media.

Other than that, I agree, it is a non-issue.

Get ready for more.  Obama has nothing to run on.  Anything but the issues will be the order of the day.
