[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5164315, member: 48469"] The strange thing about the news coverage of this is that whenever Joe said the N word on his podcast he was either discussing the word itself or talking about the use of the word by other people like Richard Pryor. Context clearly doesn't matter to them. With that particular thing the left is trying to do Rogan like they did Papa John.
