PUMAs behind racist "movie"

I direct your attention to this post over at Rumproast:

http://www.rumproast.com/index.php/site/comments/puma_pac_members_think_blackface_and_other_racist_garbage_is_funny/

The "movie" in question is a trailer for a “motion picture” called "The Lost Michelle Obama Tapes" that was uploaded on YouTube on 4 August.

Two of the people behind it are Patricia Lee and Ken Tietjen (aka Ken Sabra). Ms. Lee is a talent agent in Hollywood who owns her own agency, Esq. Management. (She was a $1500 donor to Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign. Now she's going against everything Sen. Clinton stands for)

Ken, wearing blackface, also stars as Michelle Obama in "The Lost Michelle Obama Tapes"

"Among other things, “Michelle” is referred to as a “goddamn bitch” by one of her two white slaves and the “grand dragon” of the NAACP ("National Association for the Annihilation of Caucasian People") is introduced, replete with a black hood and robe. And the dreck doesn’t end there."

I noticed that the sound playing during the opening credits of video one is the Islamic Call to Prayer.....

Can you get much more offensive??

4. No.....

I brought it to people's attention.

Just like the people at Rumproast, I think it's a racist piece of garbage, and the people who did it should be called out for what they are.

7. Do you feel calling something "racist" lends it credibility?

If not, you owe the OP an apology.

5. It'd be a shame if all of Patricia Lee's clients were told what we think of this trash.

Hey look! It's her client roster.

20. It would be a shame if the people who hire her 'talent'

were aware of this too. Why they might not want to use her to find actors, eh?

6. K&R for post #5.

Wonderful idea, last1standing!

Let's spread that list around and deluge them with emails, make them bring the shame to bear on the PUMA scum.

12. I appreciate t his being exposed.

Do we sweep racism and hatred under the carpet for another century? It is legitimized when it is ignored and allowed to continue.

17. Do books on WWII legitimize Hitler?

Does describing the atrocities of Idi Amin suggest to others that what he did was OK?

Maybe you think that news articles on crime actually justify those crimes in the minds of the reader.

Someone is dumb alright but it's not the OP.

21. Maybe thinking.....

It's best to expose the bigotry and racism for what it is, rather than pretend it doesn't exist.

I wonder what part of "Sen. Clinton doesn't support you, so stop dragging her name though the mud you asshats!" they don't get

14. Found a rabid post from this Patricia Lee person!

Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 03:12 PM by NorthernSpy

From http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/07/09/crapping-all-over-hillary-clinton/5 :

Patricia Lee4:58AMJul 10th 2008

Mr. Christopher: 'Thanks' for your self-righteous, sanctimonious, know-it-all article (you've written many such articles previously). Well, f.y.i. (in the event that you even pay any attention or that you even care), I am NOT 'paid for' by the Republicans; and, I am NOT a simple-minded nitwit or dimwit (far from that); but rather, I am a highly intelligent and educated woman (I have as many years of education as Senator Clinton herself); and, I KNOW EXACTLY WHY, UNLESS, Senator Clinton is offered and willingly accepts the V. P. slot, that I will be voting for Senator McCain, rather than, Senator Obama. And, while I do not have the time to waste explaining to you, in detail, why I would do so, it has to do with the importance of experience, having a track record, and, character, VERSUS, uttering a lot of platitudes; and, making a lot of politically-motivated PROMISES. It also has to do with the importance of drawing a line in the sand and taking a stand, when virtually the entire power structure of a political party (the Democratic Party) HAS TAKEN one of its major constituencies (women) for granted, to the point of virtually dumping on us and spitting in our faces. And, speaking about faces, IF I were to have the opportunity to have at least a five minute face-to-face conversation with Senator Clinton, I would NOT hesitate to explain to her WHY, UNLESS she is offered the V.P. slot; and, should willingly choose to accept such slot, I will NOT vote for Senator Obama; but, rather, will vote for Senator McCain. By the way, with all due respect, you really should NOT 'threaten' online readers by telling them that IF they vote for Senator McCain instead of Senator Obama, that they will ensure that, for all intents and purposes, Senator Clinton's career will be over --HOW RIDICULOUS; and, what a CHEAP political tactic. Are you THAT MUCH IN Senator Obama's side pocket, that you needed to STOOP to that level? - PATRICIA LEE, Attorney-at-Law, Los Angeles, California

Ya got that, kids? She's going to vote for McCain instead of Barack because of "experience" and "track records" and "character" -- all them righteous thangs. So you see, her hatin' on the nigrahs has NOTHING to do with it, even if she does sometimes get caught making blackface propaganda films!

She just doesn't believe in "inadequate black males", or paragraph breaks.

Also, we'd better not "STOOP" to the "RIDICULOUS" and "CHEAP political tactic" of withholding our future support from Hillary Clinton if her crazy-ass minions screw up this election for us. 'Cause Patty says that would be just really fucking CHEAP!

(Edit: Barack has one r, not two. You'd think I'd've gotten the spelling nailed down by now. :dunce: )

15. That post does encapsulate the irony of these hateful PUMAs.

They're withholding their votes from Obama but they call doing the same to Hillary (if she runs in future) a "cheap political tactic".

Of course this racist nutjob doesn't speak for a majority (or even a remotely significant minority) of Hillary supporters, but I think it's very telling of the PUMA state of mind when one watches that movie and reads that post.

16. I went to YouTube and flagged it for inappropriate content

Namely, for being racist as all get-out.

18. Regardless of how I feel negativelyabout Hill's campaign, not every contributor her true supporter.

More a ruse and dirty trickster, buying cover.
