CPAC Speaker Bashes Obama, in Racial Tones
By KATE ZERNIKE

..................

In a panel appealing to conservatives under 30, Jason Mattera, author of a forthcoming book called “Obama Zombies: How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation,” likened the gathering to “our Woodstock.”

“Except that unlike the last gathering, our women are beautiful, we speak in complete sentences and our notion of freedom doesn’t consist of snorting cocaine,” he said, “which is certainly one thing that separates us from Barack Obama.”

..................

He then mocked what he described, with a Chris Rock voice, as “diversity,” including, he said, college classes on “cyber feminism” and “what it means to be a feminist new black man.”


Describing the latter, he said: “Think of a crossover between RuPaul and Barney Frank.”

1. I'm not surprised. This is what the tea baggers are all about...
anyway. They just can't stand the idea of having an AA president.

to die in order to get his wargasm on.

29. I'd like to see him spout that crap to an African American commanding officer and see what happens
I admit it, I would like to see him get squished like a bug (metaphorically).

On the other hand, I'd be just as happy to see him not have the guts to say it to anybody's face.

3. It's actually scary
I don't want the opposition to be insane, I want it to be rational and a valid counterbalance. Does this make any sense?

I wouldn't mind what disgusting things they are spouting as long as the meeting could be dismissed as a collection of crazies of no relevance. But when the liked of Romney, Boehner and I am sure many more I cannot think of right now are going there... Romney (just as an example) is definitely not crazy and is probably quite smart; the fact that he considers necessary for his political survival to associate himself with this I find, again, scary. It's too easy to just dismiss it as pandering (which of course it is) and make fun of it while ignoring the possible consequences.

7. They missed out on the dope-smoking, free sex-loving
hippie chicks with loose titties. That's their problem, I'm pretty sure. Instead, they have Ann Coulter. Uff da! Who wouldn't be angry?

12. Indeed.
And those girls were beautiful, right to the core of their being. Still are,and the touch of gray is quite becoming. Dead Heads may be flaky, but I've never met a group of people kinder or more polite.
Most of the RW "protoges' " are hateful, delusional little creeps, and that whole political orbit is sooo f'd up about sex it ain't even funny.

As to Ms. Coulter, Mrs. Palin, and their ilk, the Northern Pikes say it best

6. These baggers keep feeding off each other and becoming more
and more open with their weirdness as time goes by. Since they get approval from their peers, they keep escalating the racism, sexism, etc.

It will be their undoing, I think.

8. Something needs to be done about these
Dangerous people. Look just today one of the ranters flew a plane into a building to Rail against Obama and the government.

If people don't like the government lets help them leave the country.

9. that's what I say too
they are quite free to leave and go back to Europe if they don't' like it."

but these people do not swear allegiance to the flag--they swear allegiance to their fear and bigotry, as if those two things alone are something to be proud of.

People who are bound up in fear are in no mental or emotional position to weigh in on anything having to do with policy in this country. They are worthless and unproductive.

34. LOL--I was thinking the very same thing
he was just like Sam "the loser" Wurtzlepretzel qwho was making his rounds yesterday complaining about how mclame ruined his life...

both of dude decided to not pay their taxes and then at the same time, cry persecution. Such losers. I just feel sorry for his wife and daughter who are now homeless and traumatized over the fact that law enforcement is now crawling through their lives over something they had no part in.

I guess he has never heard of Rush then. Or is that okay since Rush is white?

23. Snorting cocaine? At Woodstock? Man, does he have a lot to learn.
:hippie:

I don't think it was the "drug of choice" there.

25. Wow...
Wow, this guy manages to be appallingly racist and sexist in one breath! Such a talented young man!

*vomits* I often seriously ponder how it is that people so hateful and willfully ignorant can live with themselves. And I still remain completely flummoxed as to how it's done.

38. What I really hate
is that this dude probably thought he was paying all right wing women a compliment by saying that. But all he really did by saying that was reduce them to their supposed "beauty" while trying to discredit feminists by calling them ugly.

Nice try a$$hole.

35. The young people want security on the economic front
and they do NOT want to be slaves to work.
The young have rejected racism too.
