Adam Carolla on the effects of welfare on its recipients:<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sorry to post Bill O’Reilly, but it’s where the quotes are:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>O\u2019REILLY: Did she ever discuss that with you? What was her attitude about getting the assistance from other people?<\/p>\n<p>CAROLLA: Her attitude was, one day when I said to her from the mouth of babes, I just said: Mom, why don\u2019t you just get a job and then we wouldn\u2019t have to do all this. And she said, if I get a job, I\u2019ll lose my welfare. And, she really should have just handed me a pack of cigarettes at that point, because it\u2019s probably the worst thing you could do to a nine year old.<\/p>\n<p>But I learned, at that point, that this is valuable. I don\u2019t have the white privilege guilt that many other people in the media have. I understand what it\u2019s like to be on the dole. And it doesn\u2019t make these people any stronger. You hobble these people; you take away the one thing they have, which is dignity, and the ability to pull them out of this mire. And they can\u2019t because you\u2019ve atrophied their muscles by doing everything for them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So here’s my question: \u00a0in the unlikely event Lefties accept Carolla’s statement (as opposed to excoriating and symbolically excommunicating him from the lefty communion), will those same people apologize to Mary Franson, who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/?p=26749\">said essentially exactly the same thing<\/a> last year?<\/p>\n<p>Just curious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Carolla on the effects of welfare on its recipients: Sorry to post Bill O’Reilly, but it’s where the quotes are: O\u2019REILLY: Did she ever discuss that with you?
