Will she ever go back to Somalia and talk about the human rights abuses against women?
Of course not, she'll get the stone.

Better to do it in the land of the free and the brave.
She's American. She's part of the free and brave.

This is hilariously retarded. Communism equal small government now all of a sudden?
Now many cabinet ministers do Communist countries have in relation to Capitalist.

Theyre almost like dictatorships and despots. Only a few of the top brass are privy to the inner workings of the organisation.

Yeah right...

The old "I did it to trigger the Right" excuse...also known as the "Lefty Flip"

Only a moron would believe and endorse that kind of kak excuse...
Only a moron (or the 'Right') would get upset over the political opinions of a teenager. I guess you weren't rebellious as a teen, right? I remember teens of my day painting anarchist symbols all over the show, part of their goth stage. Oh no the shock, the horror - fortunately we didn't have twitter then I guess

It is all about the context isn't it? She's not JUST a teenager is she?

Imagine the frothing on the Left if a Republican's teenage kid did similar...

Okay, for the sake of world peace, we nominate you to go find her an Ethiopian Jewish boyfriend (or girlfriend - depending on how she swings). Preferably in Israel.

I remember the frothing on the left when a republican teenager shot and killed two people at a protest and some on the Right hailed him as a hero. But a teenager on the Left adds a hammer and sickle symbol to her twitter bio and the Right loses it's ****. A symbol meant to represent solidarity with the working class and the poor. :rolleyes:

If I play Zangief in Street Fighter does that make me a communist?
Nah, no more than choosing Blanka made you a furry. Besides, his chest hair is in the shape of a weird leaf type thing, not the old hammer & sickle.
It would make you odd though - who in the world chose Zangief?

Considering that 98% of Somali females get their clit hacked off she would have a real subject to rant about.
I wonder if she did it to her own daughter

People are upset because a teenager is being called out for her political views? Too bad. So sad.


The report provides strong confirmation that conservatives face a hostile campus.

Among students who self-identify as liberals, some 10 percent said they hear “disrespectful, inappropriate, or offensive comments” about foreign students at least several times a semester, 14 percent said they hear disparaging comments about Muslims, 20 percent said they hear such comments about African Americans, 20 percent said they hear such comments about Christians, 21 percent said they hear such comments about LGBTQ individuals, and 57 percent said they hear such comments about conservatives. Among moderates, 68 percent said that they hear “disrespectful, inappropriate, or offensive comments” about conservatives at least several times a semester.
Out conservatives may face social isolation. Roughly 92 percent of conservatives said they would be friends with a liberal, and just 3 percent said that they would not have a liberal friend. Among liberals, however, almost a quarter said they would not have a conservative friend. Would UNC be a better place without conservatives? About 22 percent of liberals said yes. Would it be a better place without liberals? Almost 15 percent of conservatives thought so.

Do you think there is a difference between teenagers calling each other out, arguing with each other, taking the piss over political opinions... and adult politicians and adult media outlets with massive followings (like fox news) losing their **** over a teenager putting a communist symbol on her twitter bio?
