The Vietnamese Are Trying To Take Away Your Seat!

[Shady]

Classic race-baiting from another Dem in congress, worried about losing her seat. This type of talk reminds me of Parizeau blaming the referendum loss on "the ethnic vote."

Watch out Latinos, the Vietnamese and the Republicans are coming to take away your seat!

Wow, I'm suprised such race-baiting didn't recieve a little more attention. Perhaps it's only newsworthy when it's a Republican?

Oh well. Here's some more interesting language from Democrats on the campaign trail.

I'm pretty sure that calling your constituents rednecks isn't the best strategy. Although, I didn't think calling your opponent a whore is a good strategy. However Democrats haven't seem to realize that either.

And another anecdote drops into the ether...

Right. I forgot that they're only anecdotes when Democrats/Liberals are involved. But if it involves Republicans, or Rob Ford, it's a big story, and/or a media firestorm.

Sorry - you're the one making a big deal of these things. And you're a big Ford supporter too, so what are you saying ?

If you're suggesting that Michael Hardner is some sort of Democrat partisan (???) I think I'd like to see some evidence. It doesn't sound like our man Michael at all.

I'm like the wind... but with a pipe and beard. A bearded wind, with a pipe.

I thought a bunch of Women's groups in Cali came out with one statement "If you are calling Meg Whitman a political whore you would right on the money." Hmmmm interesting.

It's good to know that's part of acceptable political discourse now. In a related matter, I kinda think Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi are whores. Political whores of course.

I think if Palin and Hilary taught us anything it is when you start yelling "I AM A WOMEN, I AM A WOMEN, TREAT ME RIGHT, TREAT ME RIGHT" you already lost the election. If someone called Pelosi a whore she would eat them for breakfast and Republicans call Obama a whore all the time Shady the only reason you have a problem with it is you think their political hay to be made here.

You know what Huey Long said:

"That Son of a Bitch wont step foot in my State and when I call him an SOB I am not intending it as an insult it is merely the circumstances of his birth."

Yes no one should be called names period but we live in the real world not Shady's pretend land and the voters will decide if the word whore is enough not to send the qualified smart Candidate into the governor's mansion or not. I have a feeling they think Republicans are just that bad they wont chance it again.

This is hilarious. Barney Frank's boyfriend was out heckling his opponent.

It sounds like this is what you're referring to:

The National Organization for Women seems to have changed their tack on hate speech against women Thursday, as the president of the California chapter called California GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman a "political whore" after having earlier called for Jerry Brown, her Democratic opponent, to fire any staffer who used the word.

California NOW President Patty Bellasalma told Talking Points Memo in an interview Thursday that "Meg Whitman could be described as 'a political whore.' Yes, that's an accurate statement."

Sounds like Patty Bellasalma ought to fire her own ass.

The context, apparently, is that Whitman was called "a whore" because she plans to exempt police and firefighters from reductions to pension plans, yes?

I would say that that is pretty tenuous logic. When Belinda Stronach crossed the floor, the accusation that she had whored herself created a fire-storm of controversy, even though in context it was quite applicable.

I still can't believe that for most of you, Loretta Sanchez telling Hispanics that the Vietnamese are trying to take away their seat is acceptable political discourse. I'm seriously in awe of the rank hypocrisy. However, your silence speaks volumes. It says that race-baiting, and xenophobia are only to be comdemned what it's from someone of another policial persuasion.

Do I have to bring up your "Godspeed Andrew Breitbart" quote again?

It's all bad,but you're in no position,whatsoever, to talk about racebaiting "rank hypocrisy"....

Pot meet kettle...You backed a race baiter in the summer,Professor...

By the way,it's interesting how you try to top anything pointing out that you're the worst kind of hypocrite on this topic on the board outside by simply repeating your "foot in mouth" steps...

No you see Shady is ok with someone assaulting a reporter as long as they don't use a teleprompter.
