Dog owners french kissing their “fur babies” like it’s a torrid Cinemax After Dark sesh? TFOH … Dog owners laughing it off when their dirty, spastic dogs jump all over guests sitting patiently on a sofa in their home? TFOH … Dog owners doing less than their best to restrain their dogs that attack and wrap their goddamned leashes around the legs of strangers who are minding their own business and trying to enjoy their day or evening? TFOH … Look, some dogs are amazing. Truly amazing animals. Some are annoying and in need of training. But they ARE all non-human animals, FFS. Nearly all of them are pretty filthy and many of us live in a dog culture here in America where we allow it to go too far. I’m not endorsing some jack wagon with a megaphone trying to sound menacing like a big boy and making empty threats regarding his pipe dream of an American Caliphate or whatever. Come hell or high water, that’s not happening. Full stop. But I don’t think their view of dogs, especially wild dogs, is past a line where we allow seated members of Congress to engage in the kind of rhetoric that this slob in Florida FAFO’d with recently. What’s worse is that that same slob would be at the front of the witch hunt line and howling for a national month of outrage if “Jew” was swapped out for “Muslim” in his bigoted quote … |
NP. Fine is disgusting and his comment is vile but the backtracking here is ridiculous. This wasn’t “satire.” She meant it, and this backwards scrabble doesn’t work. |
No I think it really was poorly worded satire / a joke. Googling a bit it seems like this is a discussion in nyc post snow melt. That the dog poop is causing a mess. And there has been smears for a long time now that Mamdani was going to bring the Islamization on nyc. So she was like hey nyc is coming to islam like the crazies have been talking about because people are waking up to the fact that dogs are unclean. You guys are coming to our side! I mean I think she meant the dogs are unclean part. The New York is coming to Islam part was satire. |
How is that irony? In an Alanis Morissette way? |
The woman’s comment is perfectly reasonable, which makes Fine’s response even more deplorable. |
+1 I remember when dogs became a big concern in France — all the dog poop nobody was cleaning up, so an artist went out and started creating “meals” around all the dog poop on the sidewalk, like putting the poop atop a mound of spaghetti. LOL |
+1 another former two dog owner, and I used to work at a vet. Dogs are not clean, and cats aren't much cleaner, btw. |
First poster here and I agree that cats are also not clean. People don't seem to have as much magical thinking around cats as they do dogs though in terms of cleanliness etc. |
