Mother Jones Editor (and She’s Serious): Tomahawk Missile Is Offensive to Native Americans

[Cellblock2429]

" Tomahawk missiles are offensive to Native Americans. We need to change the name of the cruise missiles that we launched into Syria because Tomahawk missiles are offensive to Native Americans.... How ridiculous can you be? By the way, it’s not a joke. They’re dead serious. The editor of Mother Jones — and, by the way, would it surprise you and would it be sexist of me to point out that the editor is a woman? " - Rush

Liberals...ugh!!!!

 

[ColonelAngus]

Flying exploding penises?

59 missiles at $1.4M each. Ratheon stock surges. Don has investments with Ratheon. The more he bombs, the more he makes. The more america bombs, the more money the "job creator" class makes. War is just business and america is the greatest purveyor of voilence, arms, and WMD's on the planet.

What's offensive about that? Nothing. We applaud "success".

Just wait 'til she finds out about apache helicopters.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Rename them 'Ivankas'.

 

[Compost]

Help me out here, Clara. Is that ability-to-read-the-minds-of-a-bunch-of-people-you-don't-know delusion qualify as cultural appropriation?

 

[Fenton Lum]

Just wait 'til she finds out about apache helicopters.

"The AH-64 Apache is classified as a mid-size helicopter, and can be used for the following missions: Military and Police. The approximate base price of this rotorcraft is $52 million, which is 558% more expensive than the average for its class."

War is business.

The editor of Mother Jones — and, by the way, would it surprise you and would it be sexist of me to point out that the editor is a woman?- Rush

YES, that fact is immaterial to the discussion.

Isn't that pretty much what Don did with/to the middle class.

Rush is well known for his aversion to sexism. Bwa ha ha ha ha ....

This is why women aren't taken seriously.

 

[Compost]

Another thing I'm confused about here. Do female Mother Jones editors wear War Paint? Should we be offended if they do or if they don't?

I take them seriously when they say"do me"..I even use a tomahawk..goes with the flowing bonnet and buffalo urine cologne..

Don't respond to the question or acknowledge a joke, just change the subject. You are soooo consistently and boringly partisan.

Is it's firepower "average"? Do you want to send our soldiers to war with "average" weapons?

Your belief system that this is about the money was debunked by the results of the end of the Cold War when funding dropped like a rock for over a decade.

Don't forget the Iroquois helicopter, or the Blackhawk...

Most—but not all—are Army helicopters. Some are currently in service, some have retired and others never got off the drawing board.

Aircraft and missiles in service include the:

• AH-64 Apache attack helicopter
• UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter
• UH-72 Lakota utility helicopter
• CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter
• OH-58 Kiowa observation helicopter, which the Army is considering retiring them
• OH-6 Cayuse observation helicopter
• TH-67 Creek trainer helicopter—the Army may retire them, too
• C-12 Huron transport aircraft
• RU-21 Ute electronic intelligence aircraft, a variant of the C-12
• BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile

The retired aircraft are the:

• UH-1 Iroquois utility helicopter, retired in 2011
• H-34 Choctaw transport helicopter, left service in early 1970s
• RU-8 Seminole utility aircraft, 1992
• H-21 Shawnee transport helicopter, 1967
• OV-1 Mohawk twin-engine observation aircraft, 1996
• T-41 Mescalero trainer aircraft, no longer in the Army but still flying for the Air Force

Proposed but never fielded:

• SM-64 Navaho experimental cruise missile, canceled in 1957
• AH-56 Cheyenne attack helicopter, abandoned in 1972
• RAH-66 Comanche attack helicopter, 2004
• ARH-70 Arapaho armed reconnaissance helicopter, 2008

LOL! What I visualize is the Wicked Witch of the West vs. a bucket of water. Total meltdown!

This is why women aren't taken seriously.

^^ That is why you aren't taken seriously.







To group women all together as if we are all the same with no unique characteristics, original thoughts, etc. is sexist. Ass.
