It's more and more likely that Eminem will come through with a new single called "Walk On Water" before the week is over, leaving many speculating what the rapper might have to say. Partisan insults, vulgar and not, come with the territory.Eminem has been airing out politicians for a minute.

But one of the privileges of living in a democratic age is that people can insult the head of state without fear of jail or other punishment.Īnyone who thinks deriding a US president, especially an unpopular one, is breaking new, dangerous ground knows nothing of our history or what it’s like to live in a clamorous continental nation. Of course, pilots shouldn’t make political announcements on their flights, and it’d be better if no one resorted to public obscenities when referring to Biden, Trump or any other officeholder. Harvard professor and CNN commentator Juliette Kayyem posted a missive supposedly from another pilot calling for the Southwest pilot and crew to be fired, on grounds that the pilot must have been too mentally unbalanced to operate the plane.Īsha Rangappa, another CNN commentator and a Yale law professor, compared the pilot’s statement with saying, “Long live ISIS,” as if expressing an anti-Biden sentiment in a jokey way is the same as pledging loyalty to a terror group that would love its acolytes to crash airliners. When a Southwest Airlines pilot allegedly spoke the offending phrase over the intercom on a flight with an Associated Press reporter on board, the outrage machine kicked into gear in a particularly blatant display of humorlessness and lack of proportion. Not everyone appreciates the humor, though. Southwest launches internal investigation into ‘Let’s go Brandon’ incident If lobbing this particular vulgarity is now completely out of bounds, the new progressive rule is “F- you” for me but not for thee. F- Trump.” Cue the standing ovation.Ī Los Angeles art gallery had a “F- Trump” art exhibit, the rapper Eminem led a “F- Trump” call-and-response at a concert in England and so on. When Robert De Niro introduced Bruce Springsteen at the 2018 Tony Awards, he used the opportunity to declare, “I’m gonna say one thing. The last few years weren’t exactly a mannerly period of polite disagreement in our national life.Īs Byron York of the Washington Examiner has noted, Donald Trump’s opponents gloried in the F-word, such that without it some of them would have been rendered practically mute. Really? Put aside all the abuse presidents were subjected to prior to the digital age, whether John Quincy Adams (“Pimp”), Andrew Jackson (“A greater tyrant than Cromwell, Caesar or Bonaparte”), Martin Van Buren (“Martin van Ruin”), Abraham Lincoln (“The original gorilla”) or Theodore Roosevelt (“That damned cowboy”). Media are portraying the new trend of anti-Biden protesters chanting or holding signs saying, “F- Joe Biden,” or the cleaner version that has come to signify the same thing, “Let’s go, Brandon,” as a new low in American politics.Ī recent Washington Post report was headlined “ Biden’s Critics Hurl Increasingly Vulgar Taunts.” It stipulated that presidents have always been the subject of derision and abuse, then claimed, “The current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread.” There’s a crisis afoot in the land - people are being rude to President Joe Biden. Thanksgiving, the most American holiday, binds us together

LeBron James is the king - of hypocrisy when it comes to China The Supreme Court isn’t a medical board or legislature - it shouldn’t make abortion law The Olympics shouldn't boost repressive regimes like China's Vladimir Putin shouldn’t be a hero to the American right
