for good God deane! please give that woman her lithium back!!!

No she's not. .

back to the hell that shat her up!

You know it!

I miss hearing that, OlBlue.

Agreed!

Thanks, llip! :)

He'll be back in some way, shape, or form.

I think so, too.

Definitely possible.

Those damn helter-skelter-eyes of hers are enough to make my skin crawl!

And she said this after the negative publicity and Lamborn apologized. This is dangerous stupidity.

You're absolutely right, and this dust will not settles, maybe if she apologizes, they're always saying something stupid then apologizing after the fact.

Maybe she did it on purpose just to get coverage. She missed the spotlight and knew that Fox would pay attention to her if she made a nice racist statement that they could pretend was not racist. Faux news eats that shit up. :D

Agree! the idea of anyone with 2-brain-cells-to-rub-together actually listening to any of the lunacy that dribbles like drool outta her mouth? Well.... no, only their "base" pay her any real attention. I personally didn't read any of what he latest rant above is, there's no point, she's about as dumb as a stone. She's got nothing to say. Just typical right-wing-coproate-fascist Faux Noise channel talking points murcock and the kohk brothers said to spin today.

The most disturbing thing about her is that she takes in a staggering number of foster children and I fear for the intellectual neglect that these kids are subjected to.

Intellectual, psychological, and with that "husband" (deeply disturbed closeted self-loathing that he appears to be)....

I think we should lawyer those kids up. I smell civil suit for educational neglect at the very least. :D

at the least, yes.

If only someone would have aborted her!

Ken, she is the Rep for the district next to me. Believe me, I know her constituents and she will likely win re-election - handily.

Gawd, I despise that woman. And as a counterpoint - in the other district next to me is represented by Keith Ellison - go figure!

Minnesota is a really weird place. :D

HER district is - the rest of the is state is where you find "all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."

;-)

Sadly, he is not. He represents a district next to me. I have GOTP'er rep who is a Bachmann wannabee...

YUCK!

I recognize that secret NPR message. :D

I bet Marcus Bachmann tea bags, I mean, is a tea bagger. :D

I feel sorry for you but I do not want you to feel like you are the only one suffering. The town I live in still has a huge Tea Party group and supporters. I have to go down to Daytona Beach to participate in an Occupy Group.

...her with those damn freaky-ass helter-skelter eyes! OOhhhh she gives me the creeps with those freaky Tammy-Fay eyes!

I hear you, MSII!

Oh yes

If she's typical right-wing-corporate-fascist it'd be the fires of Mammon their -true- lord and master!

well damn, that just about covers all of the Republican candidates.

I like to make these multipurpose statements that just need slight alterations. It saves time. :D

Just like Palin, they don't seem to go away. Just one inane comment after the other. She's been around long enough to know what this word means.

Let's keep in mind that bigotry isn't always limited to conservatives, and it needs to be "called out", at all times.

True, but let's be fair; most moderates and very few liberals if any are bigots.

It tends to reside on the side of those who feel that life/and their world should be a certain way and their way is the best. Tolerance just doesn't fit their world perspective.

Bigotry is a learned behavior, and "very few" is still TOO MANY.

If anyone has a friend or family member who expresses any kind of bigotry, I *still* say it needs to be "called out".

Otherwise, ignoring them is equal to enabling their bigotry; only hypocrites won't "call them out".

I live in the 3rd District - she is the Rep for the district next to me. Believe me, I know her constituents and they are as batshit crazy as she is.

Is it like a little enclave of inbreds? That would explain it...

Very Few is too many. But you know as well as I do, you can never stop every idiotic thing people will believe or do. I still contend there are far fewer on the left and or middle that espouse racist tendencies.

msii - yep, pretty much.

It certainly appears to me that you are correct. 99.9% of the bigotry and vicious rhetoric is coming from the radical right.

Point well taken, DEM46. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer; I never said you could "stop" them.
I was just emphasizing to "call them out", because I don't care what political affiliation the bigot is with, ONE bigot is *one* bigot TOO MANY.

Her constituents probably think like her.

Agreed, we are on the same page :)

tarbaby (plural tarbabies)

1) A difficult or "sticky" situation, especially one where peoples' attempts to make it better only make it worse
2) (pejorative, ethnic slur) A black person

Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it's a term you should never use because of No. 2, regardless of what it meant like 100 years ago in Uncle Remus' stories.

Your apologist explanation of MB using the term tar baby creates a tar baby libel, mmmkay?

There isn't anything funny about bigotry.

Correct she had a choice of using another term or explaining it in a different way. Since she likes to see her face in the media she went for the controversial statement. Yet, Romney accuses Obama of being divisive. Hello, give this one a call Romney.

Applause!!

Very kind of you.
Thank you, Imzadi.

Like your comment. Just last week she said Hilary Rosen's comments were shocking and insulting.

Ain't that the pot calling the pot, pot... or whatever she is smoking. :D

Indeed it is. Doesn't she understand that the reason she had to withdraw from the race is because no one, not even in her own party takes her the least bit serious?

Right! There is absolutely no excuse for her to talk this way about the President. I don't understand her position, she's not in the race anymore, I guess Romney needed her endorsement. This is her way of putting his best interest ahead. She's so enthusiastic in her hate. The new Jim Crow is here.

I guess she didn't read or hear anything about this last year. It's time they move on from the ignorance and divisiveness that there so good at. Is there a Sarah Palin school for rejected VP & Presidential candidates still looking to be relevant?

Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado and commentator Pat Buchanan, a former candidate for president, both apologized Wednesday for using racially charged terms to refer to Obama.

"Last week, Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) of Colorado, on a Denver talk radio show, said, “Even if some people say, ‘Well, the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that,’ they will hold the president responsible. Now, I don’t even want to have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby and you get it, you’re stuck, and you’re a part of the problem now and you can’t get away.”

The term tar baby comes from the 19th-century Uncle Remus stories, where B'rer Fox uses a doll made of a lump of tar to trap B'rer Rabbit, who gets more stuck the more he pummels and kicks the tar baby. In more recent parlance, tar baby is widely considered racial slur."

You sure know your history.

It's only because they continue making these very rude, disrespectful and racially insensitive comments, which are not easily forgotten.

I'm complimenting you also agreeing with you.

Maybe I should've worded it better, you sure know their history.
