Really? They're getting upset because DeNiro made a joke about 'White First Lady'

[LynneSin]

I mean geez it's such a challenge being white here in America, no wonder Newt was so offended



(and for my comment)

I read someplace where they compared what DeNiro said to what Rush Limbaugh said. Really? When has calling someone 'white' become as offensive as calling someone a 'slut'

Sometimes I think the GOP is making mountains out of molehills.

BUT DeNiro showed that he is a gentleman and did give a very sincer apology.

1. I thought it was a dumb remark, and disrespectfull to the First Lady

whatever happened to decorum and manners?

even if you think you're really cool?

2. they want to play on Obama only caring about black people

they want voters to think Democratic party is the party not of the poor and middle class, but of the blacks. It works on so many people when a door like DeNiro's joke is open, why wouldn't they take it? It's disgusting, but low brow disgusting is all they got.

4. OMG, they're really upset by THAT??

How many people hush-hushedly were saying it's "too soon" for a Black POTUS and First Lady in 2008? And that was ok to the GOP.

But shoe-on-the-other-foot, even in jest, is not?

WTF is WRONG with those people? They're obnoxious lying bullies to everyone else but take offense when they even presume anyone breathing in their general direction.

7. I get the joke, myself, but now that Michelle has weighed in against it, I can see why it

has unfortunate, if initially unintended, consequences...

I can see how Michelle thought it was a divisive remark...and didn't want it to reflect poorly on the president and his family...

6. Newt is just trying to cover for his ole buddy rushbo

fuck the both of them with a mack truck sliding sideways at a high rate of speed. just fuck'm

Your bad is worse than his bad so all is ok, fuck that too newt. You're as hollow as a fatass himself is.

Not picking on fatasses in general just this one in particular. I'm a skinny ass my self. , is one better than the other, I don't think so

8. Where were they when Limbaugh referred to the Rutgers women's Basketball team...

as "nappy headed ho's". Sorry conservatives - don't dish it out if you can't take it.

12. Of course - I get my pundits mixed up every once in a while

9. The GOP has only two modes.

Either they 'go on the attack and victimize someone', or they 'cry and play the victim'. Its a shame their creator didn't add an 'off' mode.

13. Hey, don't rain on the parade of Newt's greatest triumph

The garden gnome was beaming with a combination of pride and righteous indignation for having come up with that brilliant gem of intellectual deduction. The poor guy's got nothing else.
