I’m enjoying his distress.

[MarvinStinson]

Who is going to pardon psychotic Daxid Zirin?

[LukeL]

If Trump was such a racist then why did he host dozens of boxing matches in his casinos?

[morphing libertarian]

easy to watch minorities beat up on each other. You have to think like liberal when you have these questions. LOL

[the OlLine Rebel]

Anyone who thinks Trump is a racist or other bigot hasn’t watched The Apprentice.

[dowcaet]

These people are beyond P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C! How come The One didn’t pardon Jack Johnson during his eight years in office? Did this moron Dave Zirin ever consider that? I love how the president drives these people absolutely batty and insane!!!

[Flaming Conservative]

Yeah, pardoning him will make President Trump look like he is NOT, in fact, a racist. We can’t have that, now can we? Stupid commies. Throwing a tantrum about one of their own race being vindicated by a white man. Idiots all!

“Are these people so blinded by hatred that they believe their own propaganda?”

Yes, they are. And I believe that makes them dangerous.

[MAGAthon]

Zirin - just another lunatic. why don’t the Foundations stop funding The Nation, the very concept of which they hate?

[far sider]

What a pathetic, sick weirdo!

[G Larry]

Hey Dave!

Have you asked Bambi why he didn’t pardon Johnson?

[nwrep]

Are these people so blinded by hatred that they believe their own propaganda?

Unfortunately, yes, and their hatred has dispossessed them of logic.

[tinyowl]

Oh brother.

After Kanye West essentially had a spectacular public nervous breakdown, Donald Trump openly supported Kayne for all the world to see. Oh well, that and any number of other examples of his decency to people of all races and creed does not count to these clowns.

[peggybac]

When/If Trump reads this dribble, he’ll pardon Johnson in a heartbeat. Don’t these lunatics know by now that when you go against the President, it just cements his feelings? Good grief. MAGA

[capydick]

What does anyone expect from a left wing rag like “The Nation”?

I'm surprised they have a sports editor.

Kinda hard to imagine any limp wristed subscriber or reader of this rag would also be interested in sports.

[Finalapproach29er]

Anybody know: How old was the woman?

[Beowulf9]

On the one hand they claim to want to end racism.

On the other when it looks as if a white man behaves without it they don’t like it.

Can you imagine if Jesus was upset that his apostles got credit for doing acts of kindness?

I think not.

what an idiot. ‘breeding’, in context, had to do with breeding crime, not spawn
