Pat Buchanan Award

4 Sep 2008 Author: dnA

“Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.
Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

–Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, via The Hill

Hear that? That’s the sound of the Republican base getting smaller.

Well Sarah Failin was one of Pat Buchanan's biggest fans so hopefully she'll say something too. No? Every word she says is scripted? Ok.

I just came to post that.

Nigger ain't that far behind from this crowd

You know it's coming, and in this age of You Tube it will be the gift that keeps on giving (ask George “Macaca” Allen).

what the hell is she saying?
it doesn't even make sense.
as stupid as the sentiment, and as poorly constructed as that sentence is, the use of the word UPPITY is simply unacceptable. what horseshit.
but i am afraid i have to disagree with that being the sound of the republican base getting smaller. the rethugs are past masters at using dogwhistle politics to appeal to the racists among them.
i'd like to take your positive view. my fear is that's the sound of the republican base expanding.

Hardball is on and they are after Pat. Interesting Rachael isn't on(I suspect she threaten to do a Jesse on Pat).

I've been seriously wondering today -
How many racial epithets have been uttered on the floor of the Republican National Convention? I'd imagine quite a few.
We almost need a Borat like fake interviewer to go in there and stir the pot and see what rises to the surface, because I'm sure it'll be a lot of horribly racist stuff.

I'm sure we will get a “hot mic” moment again with that very word.

Well you know Nigger or boy are somewhere around the bend. Dont you dark people understand. when you get educated and work and make something of yourself you are supposed to thank all the white people who got you there and fall in line. white men, white women, black men black women and then everyone else. Black people you were meant to follow not lead get it right

FYI, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland is a man. Not only is he an ass-backward redneck from Georgia, his mama gave him a girl's name.
