Transcend In The Clowns*

Andy McCarthy, NRO’s The Corner:
Ms. Sherrod’s Speech Was Most Certainly Not About Transcending Racism
- ‘Transcends racism,’ my sweet patootie. In this part right here, Sharrod says there’s still racism.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
* (Isn’t it Rich?
Ain’t he a pear?)
The very first line:
I’ve been too busy to get into this
You lied, this is a Jonah column!
The fact he paid no attention is central to his point …
And the REAL racists are: Not us! Woot!
Since the charge of racism isn’t sticking, some right-wing swine like Tammy Bruce are claiming that Sharrod is a “racialist.” Some of the KKK types also use that term to refer to themselves, do a Twitter search to see what I mean.
If someone says they are a “racialist”, what they mean to say is “I believe in white supremacy, but I base this belief on empirical data (that you will never convince me is complete BS), so therefore I simply scientifically believe in differences between the races, so I’m not racist at all, just a hard realist… which is why blacks shouldn’t use the same water fountain as me.” I’m looking at you, Steve Sailer, you piece of shit.
If she weren’t racist, she wouldn’t have noticed that she was blackity-black-black.
Yes! The NAACP are a big bunch of racists! They’re horrible and mean to black people and hate them and want them to get fired and … say, can I join?
Clearly, there were parts of the tape left on the cutting room floor that should have been considered in conjunction with the parts Andrew published — and knowing Andrew, he would have published them if he’d had them.
Like he did with the ACORN tape, right? Seriously, though, how can anyone continue to defend Breitbart when they discover Mr “Context is Everything” didn’t even have the context himself, he just made shit up based on a decades-old fragment?
Andy “Birther” McCarthy is both an idiot and probably intentionally misreading the statement from Sherrod, which is: Democrats didn’t oppose Bush as viciously as Republicans are opposing Obama, who is black. There’s an explicit statement (Democrats were nicer to Bush than Republicans to Obama) and an implicit statement (part of the anti-Obama sentiment is racist) there, both of which I’m sure McCarthy could take issue with. But I guess he’d rather mangle it into an “Obamessiah” thing.
I’m generally pretty down on the “tea baggers are racist against Obama” bit, but I think it’s difficult to argue that there aren’t racist elements in the tea bag rank and file as well as in the leadership. The former became true the first time someone hoisted a picture of Obama with a bone in his nose; the latter became true the moment that the “Tea Party Express” started. And there’s clearly significant crossover between the tea bag movement and the birther movement, and the latter is largely racist.
Shorter Djur: Calm down, Birther McCarthy. Shirley Sherrod wasn’t calling all Republicans racist. Just you.
Can’t transcend racism if you acknowledge it exists, especially if you are one of them immoral, lazy, freeloading darkies!
Oh, and:
Yes, birther. That’s essentially correct. Well stated!
Photo has long cried for Photoshopped rabbit ears
A microphone shaped like a carrot would not survive for long in Mr McCarthy’s presence.
Wow! They really, really hate it when someone such as Sherrod doesn’t roll over and take it in the tailpipe from the likes of Breitbart and co.
A racist we have painted her and a racist she shall be. Evidence be damned!!!
I’ve got the Fox, Breitbart, MSM “shorter” up over at my place.
All Andy here is doing is trying to salvage whatever racial division he can out of the failure of the Big One.
Seriously, though, how can anyone continue to defend Breitbart when they discover Mr “Context is Everything” didn’t even have the context himself, he just made shit up based on a decades-old fragment?
One must note the very careful and precise phrasing of Blightfart’s first statements on the matter. A response repeated mantra-like in a completely uncharastically for him even tone. To wit, “I did not edit the tape.” I fully believe that he did not edit the tape.
FYWP That “I” was bolded goddamnit.
To wit, “I did not edit the tape.” I fully believe that he did not edit the tape.
IIRC, the ACORN “sting” tapes by O’Keefe and Giles weren’t edited by Breitbart either.
No one changed gender, therefore nothing was transcended.
Alternate shorter: Breitbart isn’t a racist, he’s just a really shitty journalist
By contrast, the NAACP did have the full speech, but threw Ms. Sherrod under the bus anyway.)
Um, yes. Because national organizations always have video copies of all speeches given to all local chapters, no matter who films them, and are completely familiar with the content of them all. Amirite?
I never said that. For one thing, expecting “due diligence” from Lightfart, ever, is beyond ridiculous.
The Goddamn Batman Transcends The Whole Concept Of “Furry Superhero”
Possibly so, but his relationship with Man-Bat remains vaguely defined.
Hey, guess what?
Ann Coulter says Breitbart’s the REAL victim here.
Who could’ve seen THAT coming?

If you go to the original post and read it, virtually every word he emits has been shown to be a lie, but yeah, it is true he’s probably not capable of producing even the most rudimentary of edits with his own personal fingers.
This whole thing is hilarious and sad.
Shirley Sherrod tells a story of recognizing racism in her own heart and trying to transcend it to make things better for other people, and all the Right Wing responds by stoutly asserting that Nope, not a speck, not an iota of racism in themselves, and they’re going to prove it by hitting right back at anyone who says so!
Also, BERT OF A NATION!
Too late?
“Wit” should not be used to describe any of the players in this drama except, possibly, Ms. Sherrod.
Alternate shorter: Breitbart isn’t a racist, he’s just a really shitty journalist
Oh that is SUCH a false dichotomy.
Get rid of the “possibly” in my last comment.
Ann Coulter says Breitbart’s the REAL victim here.
What took her so long?
How about Palin, have we heard a tweet from her?
Like he did with the ACORN tape, right? Seriously, though, how can anyone continue to defend Breitbart when they discover Mr “Context is Everything” didn’t even have the context himself, he just made shit up based on a decades-old fragment?
Why not? Breitbart is 2 for 2 in these edited tape smears. ACORN, now Shirley Sherrod. Until somebody tells him to go fuck himself and quits paying attention to his little productions (OBAMA, CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS), he’s going to keep doing it, and winning.
Amirite?
Tewtally.
I mean, the NAACP has already said it has something like 100 such speeches a month (a year?) to monitor. What else do they have to do with their time?
“Wit” should not be used to describe any of the players in this drama except, possibly, Ms. Sherrod.
Sure it should, it just needs “half-” appended for most of them.
It’s all well and good to say Andrew Breitbart should have done more due diligence
I love how the word “more” just stands out there in this sentence fragment. As if Brightfart exercised any due diligence in this whole sordid enterprise.
As if Brightfart exercised any due diligence in this whole sordid enterprise.
That caught my eye too. Due is what is NECESSARY. You can’t do more due. But then diligence in this endeavor would ruin the whole thing. This acting like he didn’t KNOW there was more tape makes me want to punch him in his snotlocker like really hard.

He claims 3 for 3: “When the media chose to ignore that Representatives Lewis and Carson’s story was falling apart, we dug deeper. We found four videos from the moment Rep. Carson claimed the racist Tea Party incident occurred. The four videos, which include audio, show beyond a reasonable doubt that the incident was a manufactured lie. That lie that was supposed to be the centerpiece in the Democratic strategy to destroy the Tea Party. The videos had been available on YouTube almost immediately after the incident occurred and could have been found by any reporter interested in investigating the truthfulness of Rep. Carson’s claim.
While the media ignored these newsworthy revelations, the CBC remained in hiding and ignored a letter in good faith from the Tea Party Federation repudiating all forms of racism, but also asking for the CBC’s help in investigating the Capitol Hill incident. The silence from the CBC was deafening.
The NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus do not want racial harmony. They want political victory, and the race card is their Stradivarius.”
GodDAMN what a lying son-of-a-bitch.
Nope, not a speck, not an iota of racism in themselves, and they’re going to prove it by hitting right back at anyone who says so!
And if the people they’re hitting happen to be of a darker shade than themselves, well that’s just icing on the cake.
Vanilla icing, if you please.
The NAACP can fuck off too. Any half wit could look at that tape and realize that there was a good chance there was more to that line of thought than just “I didn’t help him cuz he’s a white devil”. Fucking stupid. Then to say they got “snookered”? No, you fucked up. Don’t blame it on the TV station that consistently tries to smear your image, FYVM.
For McCarthy, transcend race=proclaim white supremacy has—poof!—disappeared.
This looks like a job for Foreskin Man.
The videos had been available on YouTube almost immediately after the incident occurred and could have been found by any reporter interested in investigating the truthfulness
I love the idea that the first step of a journalists’ attempts at researching a story would be to randomly search YouTube for footage of people not-saying something.
Foreskin Man
Aurora’s real purty.
Well, when the video excerpt came out, the Atlanta Journal Constitution had the crazy idea of calling Sherrod to ask her about it.
GodDAMN what a lying son-of-a-bitch.
Yeah, but a fucking sickeningly effective one. I can’t seem to figure out why all of these assholes who call themselves leaders fall all over themselves to crucify somebody every time this fucking jerk makes up a lie. That’s not leadership. It’s being Andy’s bitch. They all got owned. I hope that keeps them awake at night.
Gee, you don’t think having her father killed by a white farmer, followed by an all-white grand jury acquitting said farmer of murder, followed by years of harassment by white officials in regards to her family’s farm, might have given her a case of possible racial baggage?
You fat prick.
Douthat will wring his hands over Catholicism and contemporary society, Prelusky will write incoherencies, Malkin will peak at counters, Breitbart will smear, and dog will hunt.
Pardon me, but I think I’ll stay off the Canonize Shirley bandwagon. To me, it seems like she’s still got plenty of racial baggage.
Gee, you don’t think having her father killed by a white farmer, followed by an all-white grand jury acquitting said farmer of murder, followed by years of harassment by white officials in regards to her family’s farm, might have given her a case of possible racial baggage?
And yet she was human enough to rise above it all. Even though this white farmer was being a prick to her, she helped them. They personally credited her with saving their land. This fucking article is proof that you could never rise to that level, Andy. You really are a shitty excuse for a human being. All those empty doughnut boxes later, you still can’t think your way out of your racist fucking worldview.
Nobody is canonizing her, by the way. We just feel sorry for her–like a normal fucking human being would. But hey–you go ahead and keep smearing her name and calling her racist. Whatever hell turns out to be, you’ll be sitting there next to your buddy Andy, Andy.
Nobody is canonizing her, by the way.
Naturally since wingnuts canonize Caribou Barbie, the Left side of the aisle must equally be guilty of creating a “Saint Shirley”
Mind-numbed lefty robot:
Truth to power.
Well, Shirley actually has some pretty fucking admirable qualities. Sarah, on the other hand…
Andrew needs a finger in the butt.
Thank you, Sir Craig!
Andrew needs a
finger24″ ion powered ice auger in the butt.Fuiqst and you know why.
“the race card is their Stradivarius.”
The bastard can’t even tell the difference between a playing card and a musical instrument.
Charlie I mean Andy McCarthy is a lawyer, yes? The pedant in me delights in pointing out that “more due diligence” is oxymoronic. Due diligence is whatever diligence is due for the situation. One cannot do more due diligence. Fucking pinhead gasbag shitwad.
The videos had been available on YouTube almost immediately after the incident occurred and could have been found by any reporter interested in investigating the truthfulness of Rep. Carson’s claim.
but they were videos shot at different times during that day, which no-one ever seems to have pulled him up on.
So when it comes to ‘Racism, Lies and Videotape’, old Briedbart is running 3 for 3 on the bullshit scale. You would think that he would give up now.
Fat, half-rich white simpleton identifying racsism? Look in a mirror, Chunks. He looks like a lard-ass, lop-eared rabbit that is looking for a coronary. Hope he finds it.
Andrew needs a 24? ion powered ice auger in the butt.
Owwwwwweeeeee.
Due diligence is whatever diligence is due for the situation.
Exactly. You can’t do more due. You just do the due. Diligence, that is.
There was due diligence. I’m sure he watched to tape throughly to be sure there was nothing that unraveled his knowingly specious claim of racism.
Haha–Senior Fellow. More like Senior Douchebag who likes to smoke banana peels with his mom.
Where’d everybody go? You “people” and your “lives”. Hmmmpf.
Oh my. Emily Heil is NOT ugly.
Where’d everybody go? You “people” and your “lives”. Hmmmpf.
There all away masturbating…..
Nah. Did that earlier.
All I got is Finger in the Butt.
I’m in a shitty mood and have yet another sinus headache.
Don’t feelon” today.
Breitbart didn’t “win” this one. Oh, perhaps he did in the sense that he’s getting gobs of attention. But his intended victim came out smelling like a rose, and is going to end up with either a cushy government job or a pot of money, or maybe even both. Interviewers are treating her like a saint. And the right is clearly grinding their teeth over another black martyr that they will now have to tolerate. Win.

Teabaggers are the umbrella for all the crazies that popped up in the aftermath of Obama, like birthers.
The same way Southern racists were a key part of the New Conservatives that popped up in the fifties (John Birch Society, National Review), but it made their racism “respectable” by talking about libertarian values and whatnot.

I agree, this is going down as a win for the good guys, thank God.
But damn it, it sure would be nice if we could go on the offensive for once. I’m tired of having to counterpunch all the friggin time.

If my doctor gives me a prostate exam, I will!
There’s a nose picking joke in there somewhere.
If my doctor gives me a prostate exam, I will!
Or he could be shy and unable to ask you on a date any other way…
my take away on this whole mess (pace Keith Olbermann, it’s true) is that Shirley Sherrod is an exemplary American, a superlative public servant, and the kind of person we should all point to when we tell our children “this is the kind of person you should be.”
And Breitbart, McCarthy, and the gutter-dwellers of the right wing not only can not even aspire to that person, they hate that person with every fiber of their being; knowing in their lizard brains that not only can they never achiever a part of Shirley Sherrod’s grace, that they don’t even have the capacity within themselves to even begin that journey.
Also, re: Breitbart, The two words I haven’t heard out of this kerfuffle yet are “Dan Rather.” I mean, there’s a guy with a long and storied history of actual journalism who screws up vetting a story he wants to be true, and the dude is mercilessly hounded from the industry. Blarty McBlartfuck, otoh, seems to hack away with abandon and nobody is calling for his head. Color me shocked. That damned liberal media.
ZRM –
You left out the keystone to the craziness: they recognize her superiority as a human being and, looking at their superior wealth and social position, fear that she and others like her will demand leveling. They know they would lose a fair fight.
Excellent point Mr. Ned. Couldn’t figure out how to fold that into my rant; extra rum tonight.
Dan Rather
Frum yesterday.
Frum can kiss the ass of the left for about 500 years before I’ll think about giving him attention.
“If your doctor is giving you a prostate exam, you should change doctors.”
That made chuckle. My doctor–what a lying bastard. Next you’ll be telling me I don’t have to take my bra off at the dentist’s office.
Hey ZRM –

The opening scene of Movie, Movie: an ophthalmologist saying to a young woman “You can put your clothes on now.”
And the right is clearly grinding their teeth over another black martyr that they will now have to tolerate. Win.
My favorite part about this is that conservatives (mostly) didn’t even attempt any overtures to Ms Sherrod in an effort to win over any minorities or even dent support for Obama (athough at times he needs no help on that score)
I mean, here was an African-American woman who was wronged by both the NAACP and the administration of His Blacktastic Majesty B Hussein Obama Shabazz. One thinks that the Right would try to co-opt any feelings of betrayal she had in order to politically profit from this state of affairs. Yet wingnuts are so committed to a bottom feeder like Breitbart that they’re still trying to prove she the most racist racist since since Hatey McKlansheets.

I see your point, with one exception. This little thing, once in the hands of Fux Noise, prompted a response from the administration. A response not unlike congress’ response to the ACORN tapes–hasty, ill conceived overreaction. Regardless of the blowback he will no doubt suffer, the White House’s idiotic, knee jerk, owned bitch response can’t be undone.
Next you’ll be telling me I don’t have to take my bra off at the dentist’s office.
You don’t have to… but it couldn’t hurt!

Step into my office, miss.
I spent a lot of effort finding a doctor with Alzheimers. “Did we do a prostate exam last time…?”
My favorite part about this is that conservatives (mostly) didn’t even attempt any overtures to Ms Sherrod in an effort to win over any minorities or even dent support for Obama (athough at times he needs no help on that score)
That’s strange, isn’t it? I thought the usual suspects would be giving their silly, qualified refudiashuns on the teevee by now. I was looking forward to the wink/nudge, the dogwhistles and a final word saying that BB is really an ok guy, he just kinda messed up by not doing to more due diligence and stuff.
the White House’s idiotic, knee jerk, owned bitch response can’t be undone.
Unfortunately it can be construed as proof yet again that it’s better to be a right-wing enemy of the Obama Administration than a left-wing critic because right-wing opponents get deference.

There was a patient that looked exactly like you in here yesterday. I think.
Regardless of the blowback he will no doubt suffer, the White House’s idiotic, knee jerk, owned bitch response can’t be undone.
No, it can’t be undone. But I can imagine hearing, say, Gibbs say the following:
See, it doesn’t have to be a PWNED situation. With one brief statement, it could become an EPIC reverse-bitchslap.
See, it doesn’t have to be a PWNED situation. With one brief statement, it could become an EPIC reverse-bitchslap.
You so gotta find Gibbs’ email. That would restore a tiny bit of respect in me.

Does it ever scare you to realize you’d do a better job of running a political message campaign than the people who’re supposedly the party’s best and brightest?
knowing in their lizard brains that not only can they never achieve a part of Shirley Sherrod’s grace
And you know, I doubt I ever could either, but the difference is that I don’t fucking resent her for it. I think that’s the difference between right and left in a nutshell.
Which leads us to:
My favorite part about this is that conservatives (mostly) didn’t even attempt any overtures to Ms Sherrod in an effort to win over any minorities
Great, ain’t it? The smarter ones know that on its present course the right is doomed to irrelevance, due to “minorities” becoming the majority pretty damn soon, along with young white people increasingly not giving a shit about such things. But they just can’t make that outreach, because it would go against their natures. It would be as if someone told you, “You can save liberalism if only you’ll agree to reject science.” What would be the point?
Friend of yours?
nah, just an architecture student in the midst of a charrette.
There was a patient that looked exactly like you in here yesterday. I think.
Was he after a narcotics prescription too? What a coincidence.

I need a drink.
Message yes, but at an even more scary level, basic fucking management/leadership skills. We’re talking about the nation’s leaders, and they can’t even chill the fuck out for 10 seconds and get a grip on what’s going on before they fire a long time public servant who, by all appearances, does a great job. I know it’s bullshit, and I hate to sound like a dumbfuck conservative, but what does the response to an international crisis that requires quick, decisive action look like in this administration?
It would be as if someone told you, “You can save liberalism if only you’ll agree to reject science.” What would be the point?
That’s an unsettling and extremely excellent comparison. Well done.
in an effort to win over any minorities
The attempted smear is part of an effort to grab and retain the political support of bigoted whites. But as Nom de Plume points out, the demographic clock is ticking.
Was he after a narcotics prescription too? What a coincidence.
Seems like an awful lot of my patients are looking for those lately. I don’t understand it.
The attempted smear is part of an effort to grab and retain the political support of bigoted whites.
Weird how their still looking to grab and retain that. They’ve had it since, what? The Truman Administration? Fucking morons.
The Truman Administration?
Post civil rights legislation of 60s. Southern Strategy.
I thought it went back to the integration of the military.
Weird how their still looking to grab and retain that.
I suspect it’s more a get-out-the-vote effort than a convince-the-voter effort. If all factions voted in equal percentages, they’d lose, so they depend on depressing the poor vote through negative advertising and using fake controversy to encourage their base.
Seems like an awful lot of my patients are looking for those lately. I don’t understand it.
Wait, these “pay for one narcotic prescription, get one free” coupon mailers are for your practice, aren’t they?
Great, ain’t it? The smarter ones know that on its present course the right is doomed to irrelevance, due to “minorities” becoming the majority pretty damn soon, along with young white people increasingly not giving a shit about such things.
Is that really true? Newsweek pointed out a while ago that the time at which America was expected to become a white-minority country (2050) is now eight years later than it was supposed to be in 2000, before the Bush administration took office. If anti-immigration hysteria keeps building, is it possible they’d be able to stop Latino immigration or not?
I’m just asking, I don’t know that much about demographics.
Does it ever scare you to realize you’d do a better job of running a political message campaign than the people who’re supposedly the party’s best and brightest?
Me? Naw. I’m an evil bitch; I don’t scare easily.
It’s everyone else who gets scared. That’s why I was the best lobbyist the good guys could have hoped for – I would sit in committee hearings and say stuff just like this and shame all the good ol’ boys into doing the right thing. And every time I did it, whoever I was working with got scared. And then we won.
Wait, these “pay for one narcotic prescription, get one free” coupon mailers are for your practice, aren’t they?
Well yeah, it’s right here in this hippo…you know, oath I took. Do you need a prostate exam?

Yes, over the long term a probable failure, but over the short, especially this November, get it while you can!

It’s not about immigration, it’s about demographic reality. Latinos, relative to whites, “breed like rabbits”. That is to say, “Thanks, fundamentalist Christianity!”.
Who are you calling a chick?

I think conservatives have a point (though not the way they think of it) when they talk about the fact that Obama is more interested in image than fact, and is a pushover for anyone armed with anything more than harsh words. The teabaggers are the loudest and best financed group in the country, so they’re able to push him around a lot.
Or, as I-forget-who posted a while ago, “Democrats and Republicans are both prisoners of the extreme base. The trouble is, it’s the same base.”

Ah, I see! And of course that explains so much – no wonder they want to make anchor babies illegal and send back everybody.
(Since anti anchor baby legislation would result in Michelle Malkin being shipped “back” to the Philippies, I admit I’m pretty torn on that issue).
depressing the poor vote through negative advertising
And in this instance the Obama Administration certainly did its part to facilitate this.

Never underestimate the power of cowardice and stupidity.
But they just can’t make that outreach, because it would go against their natures.
For many or most of them that’s undoubtedly true. But people of color are perfectly capable of being right wing douchebags. I’m sure even with the long-term demographic shift, that mindset will just adapt to a new host.

While opposing the theory of evolution at the same time.
Run for office… please?
No fucking way. I somewhat enjoy my life, and that would come to an end if I was required to pretend that I give a shit about stupid people’s stupid concerns. Like you have to do if you’re a politician. Unless you’re Alan Grayson.
Too bad. But I empathize with all the reasons.
BTW, everyone, our catalog is going to print – we got the final proofs this week, and it’s awesome. Feedback so far has been “this is great!!” and “I see a lot of stuff here I would buy.” So keep your fingers crossed. We have an exhibit at PTA summer leadership training on the 31st with about 200 new PTA leaders, press release went out today & finishing tomorrow, and as soon as we get the catalog back from the printer, a mailing is going out to about 300 schools.
We only need 20 or 25 schools to meet our target for our first year business plan – which also gets all our business loan paid off.
So be Alan Grayson. God knows we could use about four dozen more of him.
But people of color are perfectly capable of being right wing douchebags. I’m sure even with the long-term demographic shift, that mindset will just adapt to a new host.
The right wing of the Democratic Party has staked its claim to this turf.
The Democratic Party’s left wing is currently molting. But just wait ’till this new plumage grows out: THEN we’ll show ’em!
Things for which we may give thanks:
– this isn’t GREAT NEWS … FOR JOHN MCCAIN! (yet)
– nobody’s calling this “SherrodGate” (yet)
– apparently this isn’t “Obama’s Katrina (yet)
– nobody’s greenlighted “It Depends: The David Vitter Story” (yet)
– nobody’s calling this “SherrodGate” (yet)
Although the omnipresent Google eye will now return a result.
We may also give thanks that BB and his minions picked the WRONG target. This lady has been targeted before, and somehow I don’t get the impression that she’s going to “roll over and take it in the tailpipe” to steal a hilarious quote from the great Nystradamus. She’s already vowed to “get” Breitbart. May doG have mercy on that tiny little shred of an alleged soul.
Certainly Not About Transcending Racism
I’m still wondering when “transcending racism” became the exclusive responsibility of black people.
I’m still wondering when “transcending racism” became the exclusive responsibility of black people.
About the time it became socially unacceptable to be an outspoken supremacist asshole. They think that since they’ve been relegated to dogwhistles, coded language and projection, it’s now time for black people to be good n*******s.
I’m still working to transcend the awareness that 50% of the populace is below average, cognitively speaking. And “race” is an artificial sociological concept.
I’m hoping that when Sherrod says that, what she means is she’s got access to an even more hilarious Blartfart drunk tape than that voicemail he left for Gawker. And GodDAMN, that’d be a lot of hilarious.
Didn’t there used to be a chimp in that photo? Did he get laid off?
See? The only thing that can kill a thread is staying on topic.
Hm, pretty sure Hispanic birth rates are dropping, too.
Projections are probably changing because during the housing bubble there were lots of Mexicans coming over to build shoddy houses, but for the last few years the migrant workers (illegal or not) have been leaving–and have been coming over in fewer numbers. It’s just not worth it when there’s not much work to be had.
Most of the farm workers are legal, btw. (The construction workers look down on them, consider them a lower social caste.) There are special “guest worker” programs so America’s Patriotic Truck Farmers can have their quasi-slave labor.
Just to be tl;dr: the Big Lie is that Americans won’t do farm work. There was an indigenous class of farm laborers in the United States until the 1940’s. At that time the farmers used the security provided by government subsidies to let their crop die on the vine and sit out a strike. The economy expanded and the Wobbly farm laborers got a clue and found other work. That’s when the farmers started exploiting Mexicans and they never looked back.
Crop picking and packing is a trade and the last free farmworkers didn’t teach it to their children (for the reasons given above).
Also, George Takei picked grapes in California one summer. The (Japanese) owners of the farm having taken him for a Mexican because of his tan, openly colluded (in Japanese) within earshot of him to scam the mostly-Spanish-speaking workers out of their fair pay. Takei, who knew a little of both languages, raised a stink. Needless to say the farmers were unhappy that day.
Unless, of course, you allow that his intended victim, as demonstrated by the entire arc of his “career” so far, might have actually been Obama and his administration, with Sherrod merely serving as incidental collateral damage as a appendage of that.
Now, were that to be the case, it would seem that, given the dual whammy of outrage on the right and comments across the progressive blogosphere about what a craven, weak kneed pussy this shows Obama to truly be…
Well, in that case, than all you could say would be, “Well done, sir! You sank my battle ship!”
But of course, there is no way that could be what’s going on. I’m sure his real goal was to discredit some previously obscure mid-level functionary who no one had heard of prior to this dust up.
Yeah, that’s most likely what he was doing.
She’s already vowed to “get” Breitbart.
OMFSM the Chicago thugs have targetted Bretibart!
Trikeforce to the rescue!
She’s already vowed to “get” Breitbart.
She’s chasing him like J. Edgar Hoover chased Dillinger, if only Hoover wore a dress…oh wait.
I am offended at the suggestion that minority voters are as incapable of keeping the Sherrod mess in perspective and as incapable of accepting admissions of error and apologies (pussies!) and then moving on as lefty blog commenters are. I think that by and large they can and won’t let Breitbart and Fox News rule their thoughts like some of the owned bitches here and on every other liberal blog covering this story.
Homeboy sure has aged since Weekend at Bernie’s II. And not for the better.
Come on, kids. I really need to be entertained this morning, and y’all are falling down on the job.
Did Chimp Blimp not get the latest memo? That tape is toxic.
I plan on being entertaining later today when I get my drank on.
NO, NOW!!!!
Speaking of which, I really should be hungover this morning, but I’m not. I have also somehow lost weight despite my consumption of copious amounts of gin and cheese.
In the meantime I can jiggle my keys. You likee?
OOOH, SHINY!
I never seem to escape hangovers these days…which is why I know and stick to my limit.

They’ve been doing this since at least 1980 and it’s worked pretty well for them.
I think they are overstepping with Shirley Sherrod, and the attempts to smear Thurgood Marshall. Also, the demographics are different, and the dogwhistles are now audible.
I hope I’m right, I really do.
So do I.
black people have special rights in USA today, thanks to the Communist Usurper In Chief and the Liberal Media. Black people are getting all are tax money to smoke drugs with and its not fair.

I think Obama’s election was huge for this, too, and we should let them trumpet the “Obama lost white men, OH NOES RACISM!” long and loud, because it shows better than anything that when normal folks all pull together and VOTE the not-so-silent minority of cracker-ass crackers will lose every damn time.

Hi, my name is Actor and I’ll be your waiter tonight.
Oh no you won’t, mister.
Off topic little story…I guess this is evidence of the creeping misanthropy inside me that this surprised me, but I met a genuinely lovely man today while I was waiting to get my oil change. It’s rare that I meet a man who asks me lots of questions, then seems genuinely interested in my answers. He checked out my art, really dug it, and then he found my anti-religion piece and I got scared. I try to soft-pedal its meaning but he knew what it meant and he totally approved. It was freaky! He was just a genuinely nice, non-creepy, interesting guy. Will wonders never cease?

Bernie Kerik, the guy who had an affair – in which he was cheating on regular mistress – in an apartment that was supposed to be reserved for WTC recovery workers in late 2001, has tweeted a link to an ad that says “”If we let them defile ground zero with a beachhead for sharia we will validate their sense of victory on 9/11 and encourage future attacks on America. No mosque at Ground Zero”.

Interestingly, I think having a mosque there is a thumb in the eye of the sociopaths who attacked us that day. I love the idea. They want to create chaos by disrupting and dividing us. What better way to fight back than with a show of tolerance and harmony?

VS – that’s exactly the rationale that was offered by the people building the mosque. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Zero_mosque
Oh yes, and… what exactly happens to the innocent Muslims who died in the World Trade Center, and their families? They existed too. Was 9/11 a crime because it killed 3,000 innocent people, or was it only a crime because most of them were “our” people, theologically speaking?

How many times has this been the description of someone who: 1) doesn’t like liberals 2) anything nonChristian 3) gave/took money from the GOP 4) is really into lesbian bondage 5) thinks Glenn Beck is doing the country a real “service”?
Good for them! That was exactly right tack to take. (Aside from it being just absolutely true, as well.)

I’m not sure that most were “our” people by, say, tea-party standards. Remove the people with beige and darker skins, the Jews, the Muslims, the Hindus, all the other non-Christian religious, all the atheists, all the NYC natives… I doubt you’ve got 50% left.

True. And it was weird watching them get all outraged over attacks on New York and Washington, considering how many of their preachers compare them to Sodom and Gomorrah and wish the same fate upon them.

I’ve gotten into quite a few arguments over this mosque. No one seems to care that Muslims died in the 911 attacks. INstead, people are more concerned with the idea that this mosque will be a “victory” because, that’s “what [Muslims] do: they invade and put up mosques” (according to someone who knows more about The Hills than they do Capital Hill).
What I find particularly strange is that when I say, “The terrorists have won”, opponents of this mosque reply, “Yep, they have. I just don’t want to be killed — at any cost.”
Oh how tough!

Jeez, the last Muslim invasion was….um….When did they take Gibraltar, again?
What I find particularly strange is that when I say, “The terrorists have won”, opponents of this mosque reply, “Yep, they have. I just don’t want to be killed — at any cost.”
I’d be interested in seeing the number of American non-Muslims killed by Muslims, and comparing it with the number of American Muslims killed by non-Muslims. I suspect there’s actually more of the latter, if anything.
Bernie Kerik, the guy who had an affair – in which he was cheating on regular mistress – in an apartment that was supposed to be reserved for WTC recovery workers in late 2001, has tweeted a link to an ad that says “”If we let them defile ground zero with a beachhead for sharia we will validate their sense of victory on 9/11 and encourage future attacks on America. No mosque at Ground Zero”.
Maybe they should open a cathouse?
*slips self roofie* Alriiiiiiiiiiiight—GO!
Hey, let’s leave any mentions of “rusty” out of this.

Well, she’s no fun, she fell right over.
Wait. Didn’t I say that on the other side of the record?
I better go check….*whew* It’s OK, they’re speaking Chinese.
the last Muslim invasion
That’s what’s so confusing. But, opponents of the mosque believe, I assume, that terrorism is an invasion. And the best way to combat that is… ostracize all Muslims. I guess that makes sense, in a xenophobic, moron kinda way.
Maybe they should open a cathouse?
Well, they’d have to close the one on Greenwich and…
Um, yes, but there’s probably some paperwork involved.
The Moors and the Whores…shit! No one was supposed to find out about that.
NOW I can show you my etchings.
It must be Friday!
OK, so I did a little checking. The last real wave of Muslim invasions of anything was probably the Mughal invasion of India in…1706.
Seventy years before our revolution.
And these Muslim invasions led, up to five hundred years after the fact, to the European invasions and colonizations of these same fucking countries!
Where they built churches and cathedrals, no doubt.
Moors & Hoors! The video game that’s sweeping the nation!

People are paying for your etchings now? Wow, I’ve been gone for too long.

Oh, I get it! It’s “Chutes and Ladders”¹ for the Xbox!

Not as such. I give them one free with every deposit they make into my account at the First National Bank of Lagos, Nigeria.

They’d give you some smug, patronizing bullshit line about how much good the Europeans were doing in helping those savage savages move beyond their primitivism.
(Which is social engineering, btw. But that’s never bothered them when it was being done to “the other guys.”)

Those things creep me out.
Reminds me of a sign I saw outside a small bourbon distillery: “We make great whiskey. At a profit if we can. At a loss if we must. But always great whiskey.”
Fun quasi-related fact: Brian DePalma has never made a movie that has lost money. Scorcese has only made a couple that have made money (Goodfellas, and I’m guessing his later DiCrapriofests.)
…..shape mathematics and science?
Yep. Via scientific knowledge preserved by the Arab Muslims for the entire time that Europe was sunk in its Middle Ages third world depression. We must teach the darkies what the darkies taught us!

Really?
He must not be paying his accountants enough if he’s never lost money. The whole point behind Hollywood is to *hide* profits.
Really? Not even “Wise Guys”?
Wasn’t there just a lawsuit in the news about this? Fascinating stuff, actually.
No, silly. The answer is bombs. More bombs. Lots more. The answer is always bombs.

Someone’s always suing someone to open the books on a film. No one’s ever happy with their cut when a movie closes.

It’s like the human centipede, but with furries.
