No, yeah I do realize that. My gripe about Anthony's behavior is rooted in his lack of decency and lack of respect for another human being. Obviously, obviously, the same goes for the woman's belief that violence was an appropriate solution. Clearly, not a good choice on either of their parts; However, it's clear to see that rat's picture taking was the impetus to this fiasco. To me, although he did not break the law, he is still kind of a bad person for being such a big slimeball weirdo.

Ugh, if he wasn't such a reactionary scumbag maybe he'd still have his job and I'd continue to lol at their show...

Haha I didn't even see these ones, and I thought I was up to date on EVERY beavis picture. These aren't the tweets I'm saying aren't racist, by the way. I'm saying the ones that people get up in arms about aren't racist. No one seems to give a shit about the sambo or hitler doll pictures.
Yeah, he has racist paraphernalia. So do museums. I'm not denying that anthony may not have the most progressive of views on race, but none of the tweets that got him fired were racist, or out of the ordinary.

That's a big point, is that he's been doing these same tweets for YEARS, and sirius didn't give one single shit.

Social media isn't place for you to post your personal opinions on public, then expect people to not to hate your stuff.

If he wasn't a reactionary scumbag, the show would never have gotten to 20 years. I'm a photographer. I take pictures of people in public. There are MILLION DOLLAR SETS OF PHOTOS of people who never signed a release, and never realized their photos were being taken. No violence occurred there. It's not a scumbag move to take pictures of people in public, and instead of saying, "hey, please don't take my picture" this cunt immediately went to violence (and racism), from what we've been given.

Personal <=== Did you miss that? If you think social media is so open, try posting something like you're gonna bomb the White House tomorrow; with your real name. If you're dare to do that, and not getting SWATed then you are better than Jesus.

A, that's not my personal opinion, so why would I post it?
B, that's a threat, not an opinion, therefore a crime.
3, Okay, then, smart guy, what's social media for? Posting bland popular opinions that you may not believe just to fit in? Fuck that, you're part of the problem, part of the reason society is so bland and afraid of actual meaningful communication these days.

There was no need to call her names like that but really...SHE PUNCHED HIM IN THE FUCKING FACE.

Honestly, how many times are they going to get 'fired'? It's really annoying now.

There are good and bad opinion. If you posted it, it's public. No longer personal.

You are welcome to post your street address, your parent's bank account and your SSN on here if you think social media is for personal information.

B, that's a threat, not an opinion, therefore a crime.

Hey, terrorists cannot make an opinion. Bin Laden bombed Twin Towers because he couldn't make an opinion.

By your logic, what is an opinion then? Anything that isn't suited for your ego is not an opinion?

See, that's the problem, instead of actually discussing things, you label opinions as "good" and "bad". Not just different, you intolerant prick.

A threat is not an opinion, it's a declarative statement of an impending action. Opinions operate on belief. Here's one: "I think you're retarded". Now, that's actually probably true, so it may breach being an opinion, but the operative word is "I think".

Grammar nazi is not working here.

Opinions operate on belief

I think =/= I believe

A threat is not an opinion

You just mean that? So you just said Anthony Cumia's racist remark was not an opinion? Since he was making a threat to the woman by calling her racist.

Did you just fuck your own statement?

Social media is for public opinion. Not your home toilet's wall to scribbling your dad's dick on.

You're not discussing things, you're saying that discussing your opinion on social media is wrong.

Okay, so you're really retarded, then. Because "I think" is an identical statement to "I believe".
They are literally the same.

Wait, since when is calling a woman a racist a fucking threat?

Threat - a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done

Grammar nazi failed, 2nd time.

Third time, by your count, stupid.

So calling you a retard would be a threat, then?
Describing a person as a racist is not a threat. It's a description, it's not a declaration of intent. You're a fucking moron.

The point of this discussion isn't whether or not he is a racist, he is kinda self-admittedly one, not trying to sound like I'm backpedaling, but it's whether the tweets that got him fired were, which I don't think they were.

I can't help but be reminded of when Don Imus got put on the chopping block after calling that black girl a nappy-headed hoe.

Ant, while I can understand why he'd be mad, handled his anger very poorly.

Don't post on social media while angry. Ever. Especially if you're a celebrity or someone in the public eye. Double especially if you're an old white guy.

actually, they are very much allowed to have an opinion but this is the usual backlash anyone should expect when making their inflammatory and bigoted tantrums public

do you people seriously read this garbage out loud to yourselves before you post? or even think about it beyond a thoughtless, knee-jerk freedom-of-speech-is-dying reaction? this is going to be the fucking duck dynasty debacle all over again
