For what? Having dyslexia, I guess. But he said it in an ambiguous enough way that it seemed he wanted people to think racial or ethnic discrimination. For being an Irish dude with a tan? Ok.<\/p>\n<p>He got confused a few times during his speech.<\/p>\n<p>Also, someone should keep a tally of how many times someone at the DNC speaks in Spanish. I\u2019ve only caught about 20 minutes and it\u2019s 5 or 6 times already.<\/p>\n<p>* If you\u2019re a recovering alcoholic, and someone suggests \u201cthe drinking game\u201d during the DNC, quickly suggest downing a shot every time a thin black woman takes the stage, and thank me later.<\/p>\n<p>* Sort of Brown Congresswoman Sanchez declares of the Hispanic Caucus:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a diverse Caucus!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then shows a movie, \u201cWhat are Latino Congressmen Fighting For?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I guess they\u2019re fighting for a Mexican-style political model: batshit crazy, solidly reliant on the stupid.<\/p>\n<p>* Or a skit about the Dems trying and failing to build the wall, because \u201cwho will pay for it,\u201d \u201cwalls don\u2019t work,\u201d \u201cwe should build a bridge instead,\u201d etc. Or just general lefty dysfunction: the black guy is too busy spray-painting it with graffiti and getting thrown up against it by white cops, the homo is too busy obsessing over the aesthetic possibilities, the Mexican guy is measuring it for the ladder he\u2019s building, the Palestinian is already digging a tunnel underneath it, the Chinese guy is saying it\u2019ll never hold back the Mongols, etc.<\/p>\n<p>FROM TWITTER:<\/p>\n<p>* Speakers thus far have been : a recovering alcoholic,a mentally retarded man, a mother of a drug addict, and an illegal alien. Your DNC Folks.<\/p>\n<p>* #TimKaine promises bill to legalize illegal immigrants in \u2018first 100 days\u2019:<\/p>\n<p>* Brilliant solution. Make all the illegal aliens US citizens. Now there are no more illegal aliens. Or America.<\/p>\n<p>* I&#8217;ve watched 10 minutes of #DNCinPHL and so far it&#8217;s basically hispanics flaunting their illegal status and screaming at Trump.<\/p>\n<p>* Unbelievable. I\u2019m at the Dem convention and they\u2019re making us watch the lady ghostbusters film. They\u2019ve locked the doors.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/INSPIRING?src=hash\">#INSPIRING<\/a> Footage Of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillaryClinton\">@HillaryClinton<\/a> Grooming Young Lover To Replace Huma When Her Loveterm Expires<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DemConvention?src=hash\">#DemConvention<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8dGKxVaA0v\">pic.twitter.com\/8dGKxVaA0v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Huffington Shitpost (@huffshitpost) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/huffshitpost\/status\/757728678763646976\">July 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Susan Sarandon is having literally the worst time at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DemConvention?src=hash\">#DemConvention<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ola9Hi3y5o\">pic.twitter.com\/Ola9Hi3y5o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ian McKenna (@Ian_McK_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ian_McK_\/status\/757734827508527105\">July 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bunch of fascists!
