Saw that earlier. I must say they are doing their best to alienate everyone except the redneck cracker demographic. I heartily endorse this effort on their part.

The only food Jewish people eat.

We should knosh without a little cream-cheese?

Make your mother happy. Eat.

And marry a doctor. :)

This really is what we should expect from troglodytes like DeMint. But as for trends, the Republicans have made a space for themselves to attack everyone, anyone.
You don’t have to wonder who’s next – just when.

I’m kvelling!

Oy! Am I the only goy in the house?

racist, sexist, mysogenistic, homophobic, anti-Semitic… Is there any form of bigotry these orcs don’t partake in? do they also persecute short people and people with lisps?

lisps are a sign of the Devil.

Leela: What about humanoid aliens?

Farnsworth: They’re not fans.

If you feel comfortable attacking Max Cleland and John Kerry for their military service, there really are no limits.
What took them so long is my question.

EDIE: Has anyone asked Joe Lieberman for his take on this remark? Perhaps Mrs. Greenspan will get to it in the morning.

Now that you have mentioned it they will!

I’m a goy but the stereotypes are endless and everyone knows them. They are so stupid that you have to laugh or you’ll go crazy.

Which might explain why they are now polling at about 22% self-identification.

No.

This has been another edition of …

I keep thinking they’re going to hate themselves into extinction, but it’s not happening soon enough for my taste.

Seems like some GOPer or other commits one of these little racist gaffes at least once a week and then is shocked to learn that someone was offended by their innocent little postcards featuring the White House in a watermelon field.

Might some sort of national exorcism free us from these demons of stupidity?

“Are you whitebread enough for today’s GOP?”

I know what you mean. After 12 years in Chicago, even this hillbilly redneck from Oklahoma can do the schtick.

According to the Census Bureau, the Jewish population of SC in 2003 was 11,000 — 0.3% of the state population. (See Table 71 on page 59 [pdf])

Something tells me the 2010 census numbers will be smaller, if DeMint and the SC GOP keep up their welcoming ways.

They lay this smack out there, batten down for a storm (which doesn’t come), and emerge with calm seas and are emboldened.

Nothing to it.

Politically incorrect

The bagels depicted have unclean junk sullying their exteriors. God knows what horrific impurities they have inside. Where’d you get them, Winn-Dixie?

Actually, I am. Except for the whole earring thing. And the Marxist socialist thing. And the feminist and pro-affirmative action stance.

And they think they’re going to hate everyone else into extinction, and it’s not happening soon enough for their taste.

Not gonna happen. Their wives (if they have them) are home breeding.

I’m afraid you’re missing the True Moral Lesson here…

I jest wanna know did them ol’ boys come back inta theyr trailers to rite that after they took them pick-ups down off the blocks?

Followed by an I’m-sorry-if-I-offended-you, putting the blame on the victim.

There has actually a significant Jewish population there since at least the early 19th century. One of the first hand accounts of the Second Seminole War (1835-1842) was by South Carolina Militia officer named Cohen.

I’m starting to think “albino white supremacist” isn’t white enough for this GOP.

I think originally that term was Southern vernacular for a blond girl, might have been “white bred,” I’m not certain.

fuckin shagitz

That’s because albinos eyes are red.

With apologies to Jayne Mansfield, The Goyim Can’t Help It!

Yep, clearly it is our fault for lacking a sense of humor.

I guess tomorrow these 2 idiots from SC will go on the teevee and say “some of my best friends are…..”

There was an early observer in American Florida in the 1820s who referred to the new settlers with their “towheaded monstrosities “, meaning their children.

[This is a reply to Ratfood at 31. Stupid reply button and page refresh.]

0.3% of the population is not what I would call significant. It may have been larger in the past, but not today.

B-b-b-but what about their gallery of ethnic heroes? And Michael “Kid Dyno-MITE” Steele?

…bigots!

Perfect.

If they don’t we should lox them up and throw away the key.

And lox.
Without lox, the cream cheese is less interesting. (Although it’s still worth it.)

Man, we’re seeing lizard people being revealed before our very eyes. And they’re our fellow citizens.

LOL Could I have onion with that, please.

I did not intend it in the sense of a large population, just that there was an actual community rather than a few isolated individuals. Mostly in Charleston I believe.

it’s the willingness with which they do it that continues to amaze me.

Dear Governor Sanford,
We note the letter dated December 20, 1860, issued by your office on behalf of the State of South Carolina. We regret that we have not, until now, formally replied to the request which your office so cordially made of us (on account of your militia bombing our fort shortly thereafter). We are writing to let you know that we have decided to accept your proposal. Please have the members of your Congressional delegation vacate our borders within 24 hours, and we look forward to receiving the credentials of your ambassador. Good bye and good luck.

cOYtainly!

It’s true when it comes to schmearing the opposition the Southern GOP march in loxstep. Their brazenness bagels belief.

Those look like perfectly good onion bagels to me. Chocolate-chip and cinnamon-raisin bagels, on the other hand, are probably trayf.

Try garlic bagels sometime.

NO fruit with bagels! A cinnamon raisin bagel is DESSERT!

Now I’m craving bagels – will have to shop tomorrow.
I like them plain – definitely not sweet.

I think their plan for the next 4-8 years is to be as politically incorrect (read “fucking racist”) as possible. I don’t know what they get for it, maybe American Enterprise Institute invitations or something. Votes, attention, who knows.

Yes. Here’s a picture of one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:StarTrek-Gorn.jpg

Sesame bagels for me.

Toasted Poppy Seed with Lox & Cream Cheese, please ! *g*

Evenin’ all !

That’s a winner!

Not to make too matzo this example, but even when they try not to biali vil, they come across as racist (unleavened) crackers.

Invites to the Coronation of the Queen of Alaska?

They scared the country enough to keep their doofus-in-chief mildly competitive in 2004 – now they are reaching for the stars by trying to race-bait the joint into ••name your enemy here•• hate-compliance.
I would not put it past them to try.

There you D’oh again.

Wow! Just looked it up and from about 1800 to after 1830, South Carolina had the largest Jewish population in the US (mostly Sephardic) at about 2000 in 1800. After that, Ashkenazim immigrants from Germany made New York the Jewish Capital of the US.

Rye oh rye must you stare at my nachas?

/Meghan McCain

Well, even without the egging on I could keep going but it would not be meat of me to milk this any further. I just thought I’d poppy in and make a few rye comments about their sour dough stereotypes. Can’t wheat for the next one!

Followed by the NY suburb of Florida.

Stick around. You’re on a roll.

That was more than a century later, however. 8-)

It’s good know that Senator DeMento has the Birthers of a Nation vote all sewn up.

I believe that De Mento is really a Matzo Schmuck.

Hallah, Lou. Yeah.

Suzie, Teh Cream, And Teh Cheese

I still think instead of dumping on the Palestinians we should have donated Florida for a (new) Jewish homeland in 1948. Might have required some landscaping around the tip to make it look more kosher.

I’m tryin to figger out the dif from kvellin and kvetchin.

I’m SURE it’s all buttah, though . . .

*G*

I’m not goy, but I’m happy . . .

That’s pretty good.

Gee, I was expecting something like this.

Everyday teh stoopid white boys from S.C. remind me why I left the south. Makes me almost happy to be in Rancho Cordova.

‘K, I’m good wit dat rat.

What a bumcha mudders . . .

that and the votes of Honduran coup plotters.

Time for me to toddle off. More young minds to corrupt in the morning (alright, they are the same young minds I corrupt every Tuesday morning, but it is an arduous process). Take care all.

New Orleans is a bit of an anomaly. I once spent a week in NO and on the Gulf coast in Mississippi and the only person I met with an noticeable twang in their speech was a guy visiting from Kentucky.

The poor dears, bless their hearts. They just can’t help themselves, can they? Jews love money? No shit, Shylock! They also love charging usurious interest rates, diamonds, and global media empire-building! Wait, give me a few more minutes, and I’ll come up with more asinine stereotypes.

Jews do this stuff you sure I thought You just described a loyal Bushy.

Yep, kinda like this:

They Touch Us. All Wrong.

Nighters.

I should depart as well. I’ve waited three hours for Bob to do the dishes and once again he has failed to step up to the plates. Splendid evening to all.

Is it me or them? Don’t these fuck heads know that they are soooooo last century. Can’t they count? A black man won the presidency. Didn’t have to send it to the supreme court to be decided. The citizens decided by a fairly big majority. Or are they trying to create a race war? If so, I have news for them. They will lose. Again. Idiots. Dangerous Idiots.

I take this it joker does not realize he can never win the Presidency now :-)

Yea. We talk funny in New Orleans. More like Brooklyn. My mom wouldn’t let me speak that way. She was from North Carolina.

That is another thing lost to Katrina. Neighborhood accents. I used to be able to tell what neighborhood and faith a person was by their speech.

Hey, ya want lox or cream cheese.

Bagles can’t be choosle’s . . .

Ok, you win. I got muffin.

Yes, because the bar is way high for racists, idiot nativisits, and self-styled foreign policy wonks who support overthrowing fairly-elected governments.

A boy can dream.

Well… Demint’s illegal and somewhat treasonous visit to give aid and comfort to a military junta should’ve been enough to end his senatorial career.. but what do I know?

Alison grew up across town from me. Well sort of, she is ten years younger. Had no idea who she was until she left here and got famous… as people do.

Where are you again?
Apparently, I have the memory of a southern.

Ewe can’t call them nachas . . .

Well, you can, it’s yer thread and all that, but, those are more like marimbas.

Is Nachas Jewish for boobs?

THAT would be REALLY wierd . . . I mean really wierd . .

Hi, everybody.
I saw in the bookstore last week that DeMint has a book – some jingoistic Dems-are-socialists-and-only-the-RW-can-sve-us s___t.

What bugged me was that the books were all facing out – and most of those facing out in that section were RW books. Pissed me off—so I turned all of DeMint’s around.
Won’t matter of course, but I’m really getting sick of seeing all these idiots’s books placed so prominently. And they stay on the shelves because no one is buying them.

She grew up in Champaign, IL, I was in Urbana. It’s all connected, with the University of Illinois in the middle. Raven is also originally from Champaign.

Ron is from Streator, IIRC. :-)

Have no fear – soon enough they will be in the kindling section with Palin’s piece. Cheaper than newsprint.

Ron is from Streator, IL. tiny little place filled with Slovaks and Irish.

And talk about racist! He said that his parish priest made sure the black community never made inside his church.

I thought the rethug welfare system buys up rethug books to give to rethug donors whether they want ‘em or not? That’s how Bible Spice is sellin’ her book.

also. doncha know.

So, this Bob, he ain’t lickety skillet?

*blinks*

TCU escaped from Crystal Lake IL up north :-)

Remember Macaca that one word killed a GOP Senator’s reelection and Presidential dream :)

Is Bob a cat or a dog?

To be fair Bob doesn’t dirty many dishes, except for days like yesterday when I mixed up two months worth of food for him and seemingly used every pan and utensil in the place.

Brown people still don’t count.

Seen her in SF long ago, at the usual pubs in SF.

Man was she young. N so was Union Station.

Not the same gal who broke out on the national scene, but always, ALWAYS loaded with talent.

Paul’s Saloon, Grant Street Saloon, Murphy’s Irish Pub, Freight N Salvage in Beserekly.

And proud to see her in ’05 or so post Brother, with the full recent band, at Strawberry Music Fest.

One of the most memorable shows I’ve ever seen.

What talent. Her and the boys. ALL of them! *G*

Congrats on your escape. I had to look it up. Wow, that IS North. Usually Wikipedia lists the per capita income but not for Crystal Lake. Under “Economy” it has the following.

If any particular industry could be called prevalent, the city of Crystal Lake has a disproportionate number of car dealerships, and the south side of the city features several gravel quarries.

Wasn’t the lake in the Friday the 13th movies called Crystal Lake? We also have a Crystal Lake Park in Urbana.

Murphy’s Irish Pub – Clement Street?

Can’t tell for certain but he looks exactly like this.

Just a drive by,

The death spiral at the NYT continues. It will be cutting 100 jobs from its newsroom. This makes sense since it no longer really does news why bother with journalists and journalism?

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/business/media/20times.html?_r=1&hpw

And to underline this point there is this article by Bumiller who isn’t going to be cut and should be about the “frustration” the Pentagon is feeling because Obama hasn’t signed off yet on their escalation in Afghanistan. In support of this thesis, Bumiller trots out the standard neocons, like Michael O’Hanlon and the Center for a New American Security who, gosh darn it, think we need to have this war.

At 16 Allison was playing fiddle in D.C. with Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan, and I forget who the dawhhouse player was.

I’ve got some live stuff from The Birchmere, on XMAS Eve.
Two shows.
Think even Mike Auldridge, ST. MIKE, to you dobro pickers, was there.

Super Pickers, was the Holiday Moniker they used . . . 1989 is what I have.

*G*

ooooooh! A bouyd.

probably a good thing. I don’t even want to think what almost-Senator Macaca Allen would’ve tried to do with that football he kept surgically to his hand at the president’s healthcare speech…

Hey, I have no idea, I was hopin someone would ‘splain.

I jest tried to work it into my blathering . . *G*

How ya doin, Mary Mac . . . best to you, and a howdy to yer roomie, that Ron of Ron’s . . .*G*

My late brother was a bluegrass banjo player, had his own band and also jammed with folks like Bill Monroe. He died of ALS around the time I was ten and Alison was born (1971).

He probably would have decompensated when O won. Perhaps his head would have exploded.

So you can see why he won’t do dishes. If it was a dog, no problem… provided you don’t mind them being licked clean.

Back at you. Today Ron told me I was his favorite x-wife.

I ain’t picky. What kind of food do you make for him that would dirty up all of the kitchen?

And that looks good on ANY resumé.

I am going to ask him if I can use him as a reference.

Swept you off your feet, did he?

Yep. Again.

Bird mash. Whole grain pasta (cooked), brown rice (cooked), sweet potatoes (cooked), kidney beans (cooked), kale, carrots, sweet corn. I blend it all in a giant mixing bowl, then after it’s cool put daily portions in snack-size ziplocks and freeze them.

There is one now up in Napa, I THINK Murphy’s was on Clement, back then?

Don’t recall.

Here’s what teh google reveals now:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/murphys-pub-san-francisco

Not sure it’s the same place. Been 3 decades since I was there . . . Kearney rings a bell, though.

Some place WAS on Clement, though . . . THAT rings a bell, too . . . . sigh.

I DO recall Paul’s, and Grant Street . . .

And Keystone SF, Berkeley, Palo Alto.

There were a LOT of venue’s back then, from the 60′s thru when we went Sac Bound in ’88

Its also one of the if not the most GOP counties in the state.

You speak yoikese pretty well, for a left coaster!!!

*G*

There is a Murphy’s Irish Pub in Sonoma. Been there, done that.

That is how a true New Orleanian speaks. I shit you not.

Not surprised, I think that is probably just west of Henry Hyde’s former district.

Leaving for real now, see y’all.

Does he talk to you, RF?

Good thing her handle isn’t birdfood.

SO sorry for your loss, so happy for your time with him.

Dude picked with Mr. MONroe? Huge.

Aside of being yer bro . . . that is.

The bro part is the most important.

Hold it close, recall the memory . . .

Thanks for sharing . . . *bows*

They are not a breed that speaks a lot but when he first sees me in the morning he says, “It’s morning… it’s morning… it’s morning.” When I put him in his cage for the night or when he wants a treat during the day he says, “Have a kiss?” and gives me a kiss. He also says, “hello” and a few things I can’t quite make out. He was a rescued bird and I think he learned some of it from the other birds during the three years he was at the shelter.

Well, I always thought he was a smart man . . . *G*

For what? *blinks*

He’s a SMOOTH talker, he is . . *G*

Gride AND Broom!!!

Wadda ya mean wadda ya mean?

Get the #$%K outta here, yer killin me . . .

*G*

I didn’t know him well, he was married before I was born. I have two nephews who are older than me. I didn’t know he’d been around the Monroes until I came across a picture on the Google a few years back. The site where it was located has since vanished. He and the other guys in his group were offered jobs at the Grand Ole Opry but back in the early ’60s it didn’t pay enough to support their families and they passed.

One more tidbit, Johnny Cash played at the local county fair in the ’50s, apparently he didn’t have his guitar and borrowed by brothers. When he gave it back he’d scratched the shit out of it with his big ol’ belt buckle. Good times.

Thass some serious story . . .

Thanks for sharing . . . hell of a heritage you got there . . .

Hold it close.

*bows*

Just wait until these goobers come to the defense of RNC’s chair … a remake of Steele Magnolias

I am telling you honey, fa sure.

Any mention of balsa wood drones that could attack the mainland of the US?

After all this time, you’d think they’d run out of new lows to sink to!

This represents about the 50th time since last year’s campaign that GOP leaders have said or done something that was overtly bigoted. It’s happened often enough at all levels – local, state, and national – that is absolutely impossible to maintain that this is a rarity within the party. This is a pattern. These events represent just those instances that have been made public. How much more often is this kind remark said privately in GOP circles?

The GOP is the party of bigotry of all kinds: racial, ethnic, national, religious, gender, and sexual orientation. If they can hate you, they will. This is a tribal collection of moronic buffoons that think it is still 1861. Anybody that could be attracted to this pack of imbecilic clods has to be either congenitally or willfully stupid. This bunch of mental Lilliputians should be consigned to the dustbin of our history. They no longer represent anything that is good for this nation.

The goppies diss the Jews . . . and creeps like Bill Kristol, David Frum, Frank Luntz, and Ben Stein help them out by appearing on Fuxnewz, etc. to spew their racist garbage!!!!

Can someone explain that to me?
