Virginia Foxx is an old ugly hag who will rot in hell: Look at her voting record..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Foxx

* In September 2005, Foxx was one of 11 members of Congress to vote<3> against the $51 billion aid package to victims of Hurricane Katrina

* was also one of only 33 Republicans to vote against the extension of the Voting Rights Act in July 2006.


This is for you Ms Foxx from the words of Jesus it seems you want to ignore:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew%2025:40

Matthew 25:40 (King James Version)

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

11. The scarey thing is that the guy she beat in the GOP Primary is even crazier
You're just upset because her district is where Robert Plant hooked up with Alison Krauss

3. Nothing wrong with being old, ugly, or a hag,
Her problems are deeper in her soul than that.

41. She is an ugly old hag in her soul
to the damned bone. In every crevice of her physical and spiritual body.

Does that help you?

7. Instead of her fake apology for her pathetic words on the House floor, she ought to apologize for
that crap haircut she has.

I have nothing nice to say about her. She's proven herself to be an ugly person on the inside, I'm just pointing out she's ugly outside too.

8. Virginia Fokkks is just a product of her electorate.
As the warden told Cool Hand Luke, that's the way they want it, and that's the way they get it. Seems to me that it's ultimately those people who voted for her that deserve the criticism. Between Ms. Fokkks and the truth, there's obviously a failure to communicate.

I mean if it was a man that said those hateful words right there on the congressional floor, right in front of Matthew Shepard's mother - if I called him old & ugly you'd be the first to cheer me on with that one.

15. You wouldn't and didn't say it about a man. The misogynistic words you "stand by" are the language
of the culture that destroyed Matthew's life.

The misogyny is so embedded, it's hard to see sometimes.

We can all learn to not reinforce the gender attitudes that in the case of Matthew and others, actually can kill.

Sort it out as you will, compare it to calling Rush names (although you don't see legislators insulted like that much, do you/) as you will. If you want to be more informed about it, you can do some reading.

Better not to just try to justify it.

31. Oh come now. Nobody on DU has ever called Bush a dick, prick, asshole, etc
And certainly nobody ever said that McCain looked like the Cryptkeeper during the election. And I know that nobody has ever commented on the physical attractiveness of folks like Newt, Tom Delay, Jesse Helms, or any other rethug legislator.

Or did you miss the 100,000 comparisons to Bush looking like a chimp, or Cheney being fat and looking like Dr. Evil, and Rove being a fat nasty pig, etc. OK, you got me, Rove wasn't an elected official, if splitting that particular hair really matters.

I guess you could argue that ugly hag is more demeaning than fat pig, but really, I don't think a PhD level postfeminist dissertation on DU messageboard insults is really required.

25. Respectfully disagree.
I think that the "name calling" fits in this case. It is the synergism of her qualities that makes this human speciman such an offensive person. And I call of like the proper use of bibical quotes by democrats.

Others are certainly entitled to disagree. The most obvious solution would be to avoid reading posts by people who tend to write things you disagree with. That approach might work better than telling people what not to write. Of course, I recognize that people have as much right to post "spare us" messages, too.

37. I agree.
"Ugly old hag" aptly describes her character and personality, so I consider it legitimate here. And the Biblical ref reflects a good liberal Christian position that in this case is defensible on secular grounds, as well.

The misogyny in those words harms us all and reflects directly back at the culture Matthew was born and died in -- and how he died.

Hag and Haggard
March 21, 2009 by mic-camba
Hag originally means ‘Holy Woman,’ a cognate of the Egyptian word heg, a pred-ynastic matriarchal ruler who knew words of power, or hekua. (“Book of the Dead,” E.A. Wallis Budge, trans. 1960, p.351) It traces its roots to the Old English word haegtesse, the Old High German word hagzissa, which both meant ‘harpy and witch,’ or a ‘female demon,’ or an ‘ugly repulsive old woman.’ (“Heresies Great Goddess” Issue 1982, p. 129) It also formerly meant ‘an evil or frightening spirit’ or ‘nightmare.’ But one might ask though “‘Evil’ to whose definition? Frightening to whom? Whose nightmares?” (Mary Daly 1978, pp. 14-15)
 
It is also interesting to note that the words Hag, Hedge and Hex are related to the word wood. A hag woman of the woods, hence a witch, is an independent woman. (Varda One 1971)
**********************
Although the word Haggard denotes a person who is worn out or with fatigued appearance, this was not the original meaning of the word. Merriam-Webster described the word as ’intractable,’ ‘willful,’ ‘wanton,’ and ‘unchaste;’ all of which are now considered obsolete. Interestingly, if the word haggard is used to a hawk, it denotes ‘untamed.’

40. Dear LynneSin
I really respect your posts a lot. Virginia Foxx has shown herself to be despicable.

But I have to agree with the objections to calling people 'old' as a criticism. And while 'ugly' can certainly describe a moral flaw (accurately in this case), when it's sandwiched between 'old' and 'hag' it's difficult not to see it as falling into that too typical failing of judging women on their age and looks. For what it's worth, I don't think criticizing men on their looks is any better, i.e. using 'fat' to describe Rush Limbaugh.

I wish you'd reconsider the wording in your post. Thanks.

43. I'll give you that for the word "OLD" you're right
but the rest I stand by my words.

Anyone that holds judgement better not have had any posts where they called names of anyone else in the GOP like Rush Limbaugh, George Bush, Sean Hannity, etc. etc. etc.

You talk about equality, this is it. I'll call Bush every name in the book and I see no difference with Virginia Foxx. She's an ugly woman and that's not appearance but from the hateful things she has said that radiate outwards.

44. No. In this case, Lynne is correct.
"Old." Her attitude is "old." Physically old. Worn out. Ready to be tossed out like the trash. Her old assed fucking beliefs have no place in our world anymore.

"Old." Worn out.

"Ugly." Foxx is. To the core, to the damned bone. To the very little particles of energy that make up her soul.

"Hag." Yep. Describes her perfectly.

52. I respectfully request that you do no insult hags by lumping them with that pathetic waste of skin
and oxygen.

see below:

. . . .

In Irish and Scottish mythology, the Cailleach is a hag goddess concerned with creation, harvest, the weather and sovereignty.<8><3> In partnership with the goddess Brìde, she is a seasonal goddess, seen as ruling the winter months while Brìde rules the summer.<8> In Scotland, a group of hags, known as The Cailleachan (The Storm Hags) are seen as personifications of the elemental powers of nature, especially in a destructive aspect. They are said to be particularly active in raising the windstorms of spring, during the period known as A Chailleach.<9><8>
Hags as sovereignty figures abound in Irish mythology. The most common pattern is that the hag represents the barren land, who the hero of the tale must approach without fear, and come to love on her own terms. When the hero displays this courage, love, and acceptance of her hideous side, the sovereignty hag then reveals that she is also a young and beautiful goddess.<3[br />
