Mostly because obnoxious pricks like you like to spout your garbage opinions like they are fact and attack those who disagree and quite frankly I like to knock people like you down a peg and remind you who you are.
As for other political topics it should be pretty obvious that I never really post more then two sentences in my political posts and most of the time they are full of extremist post ironic stufftalking with sometimes the tiniest shred of my real political views. I do this because it's both entertaining and it often gets the ball rolling on the issue.

if this was just a result of jon being put on the spot, he would probably collect himself and restate his opinions on twitter, but he doesn't seem to be willing to do that (even for the statements that are just blatantly wrong like the rich black people quote)
the problem a lot of people, including me, have had with him recently is how unwilling he is to concede points and relies on saying stuff like "Everyone who disagrees with me is dismissing my arguments" (actual quotes being "You're living in a fantasy land." "It's only complicated because it's whites." "But white people are not allowed to address this because it's called tribal by people like you.")

Yeah. It's funny because during the debate Jim was tweeting about what he should have brought up to Destiny. When you're put on the spot like that your mind can just blank.

It's not, I've seen the graph Jontron was talking about (this isn't it though)

It's not anyone's job to be a cunt on the internet. Anyone can do it. Long story short at least pretend to be neutral and represent both sides when you make topics like this. I've seen you do the same stuff with Annoying Orange as well, attempting to perpetuate a circlejerk just makes you look like Tony.

This might've sounded hard-hitting and bombastic in your head, but this quip just ended up embarrassing.

misinterpretation on jon's part. the graph was presented as evidence that police officers arrest rich black people for minor / otherwise negligible offenses more often than they do white people. (namely weed-related)
