LET'S GO BRANDON

Cool down SC, I just guessed she was a Biden supporter based on the fact that the vast majority of journalists are liberal, especially if they work for liberal Trump hating networks like NBC. As you know, there's a whole lot of prominent Republican politicians who voted for Biden, so unless you know she voted for Trump, I think your "disgust" is unwarranted. You also ignored my statement that I gave her a pass and said nothing about cancelling her. Bob also didn't say he wanted her cancelled, he just made a prediction about her career. I don't think you understand the what "cancelling" means in this context... I've seen no mainstream push to have her fired so that's just not an issue imo. I'm sure she's a perfectly decent person and while I think everyone has a right to dislike the views of anyone, I never support firing people because I or others disagree with their views.

I believe she was lying. In essence, trying to cover up the actual chants. I do find it amusing how her trying to put lipstick on a pig has morphed into a movement. Even many independents or the apolitical have taken up the chant.

SC,
In that you have the inside track, perhaps you could ask of Kelli's sister or Kelli herself why she made up the "Let's Go Brandon" chant.

Either way she has a future at Fox News.

I don't get pop culture especially rap but this thing has taken on a life or its own, bigger than the pussy hat caze of 2016.

"More surprising is that Gray’s song – “Let’s Go, Brandon” – is a Biden-bashing tune that had so offended the delicate sensibilities of the censors at Google’s YouTube and Facebook’s Instagram that they banned the video from their platforms.

The Big Brothers at YouTube said the song contained “medical misinformation” and Instagram’s excuse was that the video spread “harmful false information.”

I'm sorry to respond to this here, not exactly the right place. But, I've been reading your posts, and they are fun to read. I'm hoping to find some folks to help me put together a list of some of the dumbest quotes from the left of all time. For those of you one the other side, yes, I realize there are plenty on the right as well. Feel free to go ahead and make a list of your own. There's so much online that I need help finding others who remember the "best of the best" quotes. If you would be up for this, I'd be grateful. If not, if you could suggest some other community members that I might be able to contact for some help... much thanks.

“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.”

“The unity of freedom has never relied on uniformity of opinion.”
“The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is unchangeable or certain.”.......WORDS BY JFK

Give credit where credit is due. Ted Sorenson is the author of most of Kennedy's quips in addition to the following:

Ted Sorenson has finally admitted that he had a large role in writing Profiles in Courage, for which John F. Kennedy won a Pulitzer Prize as a solo author.

According to a Wall Street Journal review, Sorensen says, for the first time, that he “did a first draft of most chapters,” “helped choose the words of many of its sentences” and likely “privately boasted or indirectly hinted that I had written much of the book.”

In other words, he wrote the book, Kennedy did some very late editing, and claimed it as his own work.

Sorensen also admits that in 1957 — just after the book won a Pulitizer Prize — that Kennedy “unexpectedly and generously offered, and I happily accepted, a sum” for Sorensen’s work on the book.

It was, quite literally, the least he could do.

homeagain, I get it. Don't get too upset about the request, it is more in jest than anything else. I'm not looking to create more division, hence the part in there about both sides having quite a few options of dumb quotes to choose from. No reason to raise your blood pressure on this one...

And to stay on topic, I think the "Let's go Brandon" thing is hilarious.

..."Two different songs — both titled “Let’s Go Brandon” — are now outselling Adele on iTunes. “If you’re going to ban people, you’ve got to remain consistent,” Gray told The Post. “There’s rap songs out there about killing people. On YouTube you can talk about murder, you can talk about sex, you can talk about whatever you want, but I can’t simply question the narrative or I’ll get banned. When did they start banning art?”
