Although really it wasn't wrong, merely suboptimal. If you correct for the double negative, you get a perfectly grammatically-sound sentence, just a slightly perplexing one.
"I don't believe no one put this up yet" = "I do believe someone else put this up already".

As John Stewart put it, what really bothered them was simple. They considered her racist, which they were okay with. She was just the wrong race. This caused divide by zero errors for them. I loved his comparisons to Sam Alito and a couple other of the SCJ. Though they really had to work to pull the "racism" issue out of their asses. Not that I'm complaining. This is going to haunt them in the midterms, when the Hispanic population is reminded they fought furiously to keep a Latina out of the court. I agree with the notion they did it because Obama selected her. They would oppose more or less anything he did at this point. He could cut taxes, allow automatic assault rifles, and declare the US a Christian nation, and they would BAWWWW about his ulterior motives. |

Oh. That's alright then. Hope he recovers (somehow). If Nelson or someone had decided that they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman, oh how pissed I'd be. Shes Hispanic - that would be brown not black...unless she gets a really dark tan. I thought she didn't really voice any opinion on abortion...so we really don't know if he should dislike her or not... he was just campaigning against her because Obama nominated her. was I wrong? |
