I was a huge fan of MASH. Don’t remember that one. I’ll look it up though. I can only imagine what the press would do if this was aired. I doubt it’s in the reruns.

Funny story; I absolutely believe it. Deviants are perceived as more “artsy”, though in fact they gravitate to that stuff because like basket-weaving majors there are no performance metrics.

America isn’t tolerant; it is cowed into submission.

False flag operations like this are cowing us further into letting the inmates run the asylum.

It won’t be long before it comes out that the people who called about being offended are the ones who put them there in the first place. Typical liberal tactic, and the media always runs with it, because it fits their narrative.

“I can only imagine what the press would do if this was aired.”

Agreed, and my point was that I could just see how students(and even some professors) at that campus and many others would pounce on that scene as racist and unfair stereotyping of blacks, completely failing to recognize or respect the context that that scene was done in. I’ve seen it in reruns in basically its original format, but I also know a number of those episodes made during the McLean Stevenson-Wayne Rogers-Larry Linville era of the show (particularly during the very good old days of Spearchucker, Ugly John, and Ho Jon) have been edited or cut over the years in reruns packages to make room for ad space or even for censorship purposes.

That was a very good summary of the episode, OttawaFreeper.

The rainbow is a symbol hijacked by the Nazi-Sodomite left, anti-Christian bigots.

The scene between the general and Klinger (earlier on in the episode) is still absolutely side-splitting, even more than forty years after it was first made and aired. “Not now, Marjorie, I’m inspecting the troops”.

CWA tried this crap with posters back in the early 90’s trying to lump queers in with blacks.

“Is it racial? is it sexual?”

Because it’s art means it can be anything you want it to be...I guess.

Being queer is not racist. Being queer is a mental deficiency.

As long as there wasn’t anyone in the nooses, I think this could be defended on freedom of speech grounds.

It could have been worse. Someone could have written “Trump 2016” in chalk somewhere on campus.

This type of tactic was used against Jews in Hitler’s Germany and against blacks in the Jim Crow South...

My suggestion to the brain dead at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee is to install cameras....
