NOTE TO COMMENTERS: It would be lovely if you all didn't sound like a bunch of misogynist, racist jackasses. Give it a try.

Git yo' bitch-ass back in that kitchen and make me some pie!
Buncha crackers!

Can we at least spew hatred at the elderly?
Ginger!
Can we at least be homophobes? I don't want to be reduced to redneck jokes. That would be totally gay.
So wait, I can't be racist OR misogynist? How am I gonna know who to vote for?
I would, but first I have to go outside and flog my Mammy.
@NinedyGiulieleven: Of course.
...no Racism or Sexism? This site is about to get MIGHTY boring!
Do you really want us to all sound like elitists?
Jesus, what did I miss?
I, for one, am rededicated to being a race- and gender-transcendent jackass.
@NoWireHangers: In another life, maybe, we'll all be ginger and free:

...cant we just use the Hillary defense and say that everything we say is "true" or the only reason why you are saying this is because we are men/women?
Off the table:
Hillary's cankles and pantsuits, Barry's giant schlong and secret Muslim-ness.
On the table:
McCain's walnut cheeks and old-fogeyness, Mitten's orange tan and polygamy, Bush looking like a chimp.
Just as long as we've got our priorities straight.
So, you're asking everyone to stop commenting?
What not to say about Hillary: "Cankles"
What to say: "A bad version of Hitler"
@Cicada: Uncle Jemimah's pure mash liquor!
I still have no idea what's going on here. Did someone pick a fight with Jezebel commenters again?
Umm, is this the fall out from the whole Gawker Media thing or is there some advertiser bitching?
Because we can just make fun of Ira Glass all day, but that would get old.
Is it sexist to comment on the racist remarks Hillary makes? Or is it racist to think that Obama turns everything Hillary says into a racist remark, because he is a sexist?
I'm confused.
Asians are often excellent drivers.
I would like to posit the theory that because Hillz has at least one more testicle than I do, she is more than a man than I, and thus my comments regarding her cannot be construed as misogyny, in the same way the a black person cannot be racist. Or something like that.
Maybe it's just penis envy?
...or what if we follow all of our racist and misogynistic rants with "Just Kidding" or "My best friend is a (fill in the minority) "
@elburrito: Many black people enjoy working.
What about Bitter? Can we still be bitter?
@Senator Boomdog: Has that actually happened? At first I was like LOL, then I grimly realized, "Yeah, I can see that happening fairly quickly."
@Senator Boomdog: Two words: Team Heidi. Okay, two more words: Don't ask.
No racism or mysogyny? Who the hell do you expect us to be? Fox News?
@JimNewell:
Hey Big Ginger! Don't forget we are meeting for cocktails after work tonight. See you then!
I can still hate Condoleeza Rice, though?
islamaphobic is still okay, right? b/c i dont want that black muslim guy to become president.
"White people are Hardworking", at least that is what Hillary tells me!
@FlakJack: ...only if I can still HATE Clarence Thomas!
OK, I'll get with the program regarding the misogyny and racism, but I reserve the the right to be a jackass. Without that, I got nothing.
Or was this an invitation to say racist/sexist things? Because asking the commenters on here to not say racist/sexist things is pretty much like asking my 5-year-old nephew to stop picking his nose. The more you ask, the more he does it.
@Cicada:
Several Caucasians have keen senses of rhythm.
@AngryBlakGuy: Bless their souls! Such a noble breed to put up with us non-hard-working negroes...
Reverend Johnson: Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little Wonkette.com. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast.
Funny, I don't think Hillary got this particular in-house memo. But nothing new there.
"Ageist", too.
Anyway, ban-sense...tingling...
I agree. everyone needs to chill their facetious bigotry scene. If it is irony it is pretty self-defeating because not everyone is going to get it and also it is kind of boring and gets to the point where the irony doesn't mean anything. If you are trying to acknowledge the absurdity of the American political experience there are better ways to go about it.
@AngryBlakGuy: Hardworking AMERICANS
@FloraWay: 5-year-olds don't have a ban button! Except for this one.
How about ass-fucking? Is that still O.K.?
@JerkCade: Is that really true? Like a German Jazz Band?
@elburrito: I saw Harold and Kumar 2 yesterday. I now sexually fetishize them both. That's racist, but not misogynist, I think. Or is it a positive, because I find them both really hot?
@AngryBlakGuy: Yeah, but she also said that only stupid white people vote for her, so what does she know?
Duly Noted, Wonkette:
+ Watch video
Ageism, is stil okay, right? Otherwise, what can we say about Walnuts?
Vote for Hillary! Just kidding.
People: There is a difference between criticizing and being misogynistic. Especially if misogyny is the only tool you use when you comment.
Admit it. Some of the comments here were totally far off base.
And if you wouldn't say it in front of your mother, you totally should say it even if you like hiding behind your keyboard.
@Cicada: Also, I think that ethnicity-baiting--so long as it does not touch upon race--is still OK (Canuck boneheads, beware), as is religous bigotry (e.g., These two raggedy-ass old nuns are walking home to the convent, when they spot a naked man in the bushes...).
@JimNewell: Uh-oh. Is this going to be another Friday Afternoon Massacre?
Where's my popcorn.
@halseveralthousand: Like how?
@Gopherit: 2 down...
Shares of the C-word just dropped 28 percent on InTrade.

@FloraWay: How dare you disparage 5-year olds with such a comparison!
@The Real JR: ...what if your mother is Cindy McCain? She has been called every name in the book!
@halseveralthousand: It's really lazy commentary on their part.
@Cicada: This was a joke, BTW.
I'll give up coloreds and women if I can keep fat people and old people. Also, I want to bring back "fag" and it's permutations (But only to aim at whiny, affectatious straight people). Do we have a deal? I can let "fag" go if it has to be the case, but as long as Walnuts and Rush walk the earth, we need old and fat as options.
ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I just read the Peggy Noonan post. Okay, I'm up to speed now. Time to make another drink!
As a woman, I am offended by the too many, harsh, and mostly idiotc comments that so many females who call themselves feminists and I'd rather call irrational fundamentalists have made since this horrid clinton person realized that people actually supported the "kid" who dared to run against her.
At the same time, I am quite amused by both the comments and the posts in Wonkette. They are often smart and hilarious because they are not PC.
I did not see any warning when the target were the prostitutes who entertained our elected officials, such as ex gov Spitzer -- and some of the best and funniest comments were both chauvinist and classist. Let us not tone down now for a woman and a man who have shown no decency or respect for anybody except their selfish selves -- who have definitely shown not respect whatsoever by other women, by the way.
@RaptorAvatar: I dunno, the "fag" one has never gone out of popularity with dumb southern and/or fratty-types...I see used as a utility pejorative on some message boards.
@dearest: Truth. Never forget the prostitutes.
@AngryBlakGuy: And those damned books are locked tight and we can never ever see her taxes!
Listen, any old body can just use the word "cunt" as a comment (cough cough McCain cough). That doesn't mean it contributes to anything. Well, unless this is a Tourette's-only message board.
And in that case: asslickershitshitshitfacemotherfuckercunt.
See? Totally appropriate and within decorum.
@Cicada: Often Hispanics cannot use the HOV lane.
...as a black guy that likes to beat up white people and man how likes to sleep with women I would like to say NONE of the comments on Wonkette bother me in the slightest. Excluding that Heidi DOUCHEBAG of course
@The Real JR: you should hear the horrible things I've said to my mother. We didn't have soap when I was a kid.
@tunamelt: I have a huge crush on Kal Penn. He is an Obama supporter, and was "observing" at my best friend's caucus site. Unfortunately, I was standing in a room filled with non-celebrities getting counted several times.
@The Real JR: I wonder if you could get advertisers for a Tourette's blog?

Kumbayah, people, kumbayah.
@RaptorAvatar: I'll give you "colored", "Negroes" (as long as it's proper title cased) and "heifers". Talk that instantly goes to the state of a woman's vagina or their possible history with fellatio is out. Mind you, the morbidly obese is just fair game. I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel.
@dearest: And I totally agree with everything that you've said. I take the Animaniacs approach to snark. Basically I'm respectful to everyone until they cross the line and then game's on. But just within the confines of humanity and decency.
@Senator Boomdog: QUALITY idea. It's afternoon out here on the left coast now.
@Advocatus_Diaboli: ...Messicans always observe safe driving practices by never packing a sub-compact car with 9 or more passenger.
@dearest: Yes! I hate to get all serious, but both Hilz and Barry have gotten their fair share of sexist/racist attacks during the campaign. I think a lot of the sexist/racist snark is reflective of this. I know it has helped me laugh instead of crying. If you start trying to ferret out if a commenter is really sexist/racist based on their snark, then you get into weird territory.
Is there really no way to permanently ban Team Heidi/Tony The Tiger/simonarex/Mr. Hanky? They're all the same person.
I may be a woman beater, but in my defense, that bitch deserved it.
Why dont we practice plausible deniablity by typing all nasty words backward?
Cunt = Tnuc
Fag = Gaf
Hillary = Hctib
Fukk = Kkuf
Easy isnt it?
@The Real JR: As a morbidly obese woman I judge that comment to be both weightist and sexist.
Seriously though, your lines and my lines might be different. I respect your right to your lines, however.
Excuse me while I go drink some pancake batter and put on my sweatpants.
@Cicada: to be fair, Hillary's comments about "white people not voting for Barry" (paraphrased) were pretty damn racist. Can you imagine his saying "men won't vote for her" or "blacks won't"? Or MCCain saying "I got the white vote locked up"? She opened a very nasty door there. I am really glad BHO is not commenting on this. He needs to stay out of it and just keep pushing the substantive, real issues.
omg this is starting to sound like a regular commenter board with people discussing their feelings and shit. WTF IS HAPPENING
@BlogFather: ...what do you tell a woman with 2 black eyes? Nothing you already told her twice! I kid, I kid my best friend is a female....................hamster.
@boatapple: yes butt sex is fine as log as you wear some of team obama's pre-approved gay clothing (gap, h+m, abercrombie) while doing it.
@Cicada: That is kind of begging the question, isn't it?
@Cicada: ANd I respect your lines as well. I just figure that one can't change being black or being female. But morbid obesity... well, just consider me just cajoling you into good health! It's like constructive criticism a la Full Metal Jacket!
ok, here, no more seriousness for a minute. There is nothing racist or sexist here. This is just dumbist.
