...I just posted this question in today creation by EarlG.

She's toasted and done...and then he (and other racists, bigots, haters, white supremacy, KKK types) plus others
in D.C. keep getting away with the wild shit that they say?

Why is that?

You need to go alert the media....

Or maybe because he doesn't have a following on the non-political food channel...?

Paula Deen could probably earn a following as a GOP politician. Maybe she'll try that NEXT.....

...and yourself? And all other DUers? And all other Dems, Progressives and Libs?

"I" have never even seen the same comparison until I tossed it up. Where is the BIG conversation about such?

about a wingnut politician.

Most other DUers wouldn't think that instances of racism involving a celebrity cook compared in any way with the hate-filled policy rants of an elected wingnut.

Why 'toss' such a comparison up, anyway?

obeying his Koch overlords.

Deen built an image as this kind, older women who cooked a bunch of crap. That was blown wide open by her bigotry.

You really don't see the difference??

I know; strange but true.

"Southern Racist."

I know a lot of Obama supporters who used to get a huge kick out of her, and give her a pass when she made unhealthy food--"Oh, it's only once in a while..."

Then, it turned out her racism was To The BONE!

I know who Paula Dean is, but I had to google Steve King.

King doesn't run a business empire. He wasn't sued by former employees for discrimination and a hostile workplace. He's elected. His idiot constituents keep voting him back into office.

all this type of behavior was from years ago. Apparently not................. buh bye Paula.........

And I laughed out loud at this. Yes, it is offensive, but its funny. Mostly because it is 2013 and
Paula Dean still doesn't understand how wrong it is.

Go to Mrs. Wilke's for gawd sakes. It is ten times better.

That's a pretty glaring error I think.

That little added word would have helped.

And even people on DU ridicule her staff for taking her to court.

Funniest post on the thread!

"I don't know nothin' 'bout ringin' no bells"?

That would have been hilarious.

there is absolutely no way that I can think of that would make this seem like a good idea.

What would possess anyone to do something like this publicly? She has two boys that are in the business with her, right? Couldn't they rustle up enough brain cells between the two of them to tell their mother that this was a really disgusting idea?

(I don't have cable so I'm not all up on the comings and goings of the Deen family.)

shaking our heads and laughing. It's gone around the block from gross racism to utter farce. Why, indeed, didn't at least one of the Deens or one of their trusted employees tell them that they were so WAAAAAY out of line that they were headed for Mars?

The fantasy worlds some people live in.....it has to be because they are rich. Only the rich can make up their own worlds and try to live in them. The rest of us are slogging to work with a cardboard cup of bad coffee.

but she and the rest of her klan clan chose to ignore the suggestions even after being told that continuing to run things they way they had been was a lawsuit waiting to happen.

and pretended that's what the whole story was when, in realty, that was probably the least of the rotten stuff she's done.

I've been saying this the whole time whenever anyone brings it up to me!

It is time for this woman to retire or seek another line of work.

Even the Titanic had a better shot at survival.

Didnt Jimmy carter tell me I should like her and snowden?

This was always about much much more than use of the n word. The media did a bad job of reporting what Paula actually admitted to, in her own words, in her deposition. Plantation weddings with black men dressed "like slaves" - her own words - and much more. Plus the greed of not sharing her wealth with the people who provided the recipes and did the cooking that made her rich and famous. instead she treats them like this. The whole picture is sordid and ugly.

Plus protecting her sons while they sexually harassed employees.

n/t

she'll be the first one they hire
