10. her base... you are talk'n bout my family here.. not trash, but horribly ignorant, even my wife
calls them white trash with no mercy.. i still try to delicately point out my brothers misconceptions, but he has become totally obsessed in the dogma of the ReThuglican CULT.. YES FOLKS, IT IS A CULT. PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY BRAINWASHED,...

i was kidnapped by the Moonies for 2 weeks and taken to a remote location beyond Gyserville CA. i finally made a club out of a tree branch and made my break for it.. 6 of them blocked my escape on the lane leading to the road from the slave farm. i took a batters stance and told them i was going to kill as many of them as i could, and i planed on killing them all. then took a step forward and asked who wants to die for Mr Moon first.. and they left.

i see exactly the same thing in the ReThugs.. total Apriori Loop in Perception, where ever a conflicting idea/input is inserted in a conversation with them, they come to the same conclusion and quote something out of their Little Red Book.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A CULT

35. I have a real problem with the term "white trash"....It strikes me as an ugly, elitist
term for the poor.

I'm old enough to remember when this term had virutally NO currency outside of the South, where it has an old, antebellum history.

It began being used everywhere in this country during the Regan-Bush years, when the ideals of "Democracy" (and "Democrats) were being trashed.

3. The Jerry Springer demographic...
is a large hunk of the "base". I don't see why that FAUX News chick got her panties in such a wad.

The look on her face when that guy said that was what many journalists in Canada said in private was classic.

23. It's not too far at all.
It is the precise truth. Aside from the super rich, most of the Republican base consists of people whose brothers are their fathers. They have one brain cell more than your average goose so that they won't shit on the living room floor when they start squawking and I, for one, am sick and tired of being told how the world is from people who haven't the slightest clue.

6. Actually Fox dummy there is no First Amendment in Canada
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 10:49 AM by marias23
But she obviously, despite her "support" for free speech wants the reporter punished. Sounds just like a McCain supporter - taking both sides of an issue.

Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 10:48 AM by votesomemore
close for comfort. She'll feel like white trash making that vote for McMavericks.

She believes in thought censoring! She can't understand free thinkers.

Ever notice how freepers ALWAYS frame their debate as OPPOSITION to the "far left"? Their demands are so outrageous (thought censor, secret deviant lives, hide the filth), all they can do is cast dispersion at the ones that expose filth.

11. How does calling someone an elitist
further the dialog? How does attacking age appropriate sex education as teaching sex to kindergardeners furthering the dialog? If Obama can be called an elitist, Palin can be called White Trash. McCain can be called old as dirt. and Biden can be called the biggest underachiever in the senate. There you go.

If the shoe fits.

Go CBC, Go Canada!!!!! They are experts in Palin cuz, well, they can see her state. They all have "aboutt" the same accents.

29. well said!
It amazes me how many on the "other" side, that is, the Republicans, can dish it out superbly but are aghast when anything they feel is offensive comes their way. The shock and anger in this woman's voice is very real, and I don't doubt that the Canadian lady went a bit over the line as far as crude language goes. But bravo to the Canadian gentleman for standing up for the writer's right to say what not only she, and apparently many others, truly think. On the other hand, Limbaugh, et al can say whatever they want. If Faux News would stand up to both, maybe I could have a little more sympathy.

14. If Ann Coulter said that Joe Biden appeals to white trash
this bimbo would be high-fiving her when she shows up for her weekly visit to Hannity and Colmes.

...but she's so concerned about how something like this effects the political discourse.

That's fucking rich!

15. More feigned
indigence from the people who brought us Dick "go fuck yourself" Cheney, Larry "wide stance" Craig, and the disgusting joke about the teen aged daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Fuck Fox News and all the jerk offs who watch that Nazi propaganda.
Sarah Palin is a nut.

16. Here is the article they were getting so upset about. After all Fox has said
about Obama and Michelle, how can they get this fake outrage? And Canada is ANOTHER COUNTRY. Fox cannot control what is published in Canada.

obviously Ms. Mallick wholeheartedly dislikes Palin and Megan is personally outraged.

22. LOL...."I'm sure lots of people believe it..... I'm surprised that you're surprised by this."
His responses were priceless... even as she got angrier.

first of all, she should save her anger for the person who made the comments not the poor slob they conned into coming on their show. second, polls show that NO ONE except McCain really thinks Palin is a legitimate VP candidate. the world thinks she's a joke. third, she is making it sound like US Democrats and/or the Obama campaign said these things.

Were some of the things quoted in the article over the top..... sure they were. but what do the comments made in another country about US presidential candidates have to do with 'news' in the US. This is piss poor attempt to tar Dems with comments from foreign commentary.

28. hell most countries think we're all idiots over here
That's not news. So somebody rips up Palin on this? Puhleez, that's how the U.S. is viewed, even by ourselves. I'm a freaking hick from MT, I know people who have been on a few tacky shows, not Springer but in that similar field. Total trashy stuff, duh! That's what happens when you have a wild goofball culture like we do. :) I have trashy friends of all different stripes.

I kind of like her sometimes. I watched her beat Tucker Bounds like a red-headed stepchild not too long ago. She roughed up some other RWer on taxes too the other day. She's pretty hot too.

32. that doesn't surprise me at all
Brainwashed. They are literally a cult. These people really didn't know who she was a few weeks ago, and within a couple of days they were worshipping her like she was a superhero. Bizarre stuff. I know they say that about Obama, but Obama earned his respect and adulation. It took 4 years for the party to fully accept the guy and I'm sure plenty of us have issues with some of his votes and positions etc. These people just instantly fell in line over somebody they barely heard of if even at all. Creepy.
