Here is nutball Harriet Christian, the “older white woman” and New Yorker famous for ranting on the Internet about how the DNC is giving its nomination to an “inadequate black man.” She tells Fox News icon Neil Cavuto that Obama’s victory is illegitimate because “99% of the blacks don’t even know why they’re voting for him.” Touché! [YouTube]
It’s true. 99% of bitter hard-working whites know why they’re voting against him, though (i.e., because he’s black).
Some black must have molested her in antebellum days when she was younger.
…dont make me ANGRY Harriet Christian. You wont like me when I’m ANGRY!!!
Cage? check.
Muzzle? check.
Thorazine? check.
Implementation? Soon.
Those damn second-class citizens!
Fox News, the last refuge for old lady bitters.
You go, Sideshow Harriet!
Um..what do these wackjobs say about the fact that he’s half (hardworking) WHITE? Does that count? Goddamn Morans
AngryBlakGuy: [Harriet sees you, hurries to the sidewalk across the street]
Must be loads of fun with the grandkids.
“Gangee, tell me a story.”
“Okay, we’ll read from “Hillary Clinton and the Stolen Election Because Some Uppity Inadequate Black Man Took It.”
“Awww, not again!”
This woman belongs in the Deep South. By which I mean hell.
I… Live… again!!!!!
Yes, She’s upset because 400 years ago her sister was killed by Othello.
Sure… Obama is inadequate. When he smacks your daughter with his “inadequacy” she will never go back. You know the old saying, “once you go intellectual, athletic, articulate, smooth, cool and hopey, you never go back.”
wow. Her voice is deeper than mine. Total nightmare fuel.
Cut back on the cigarettes, hon… the lung cancer appears to have spread to your brain.
It is totally unfair that this 2nd class citizen Hillary supporter who can’t even call you black but you can call her white is only able to make the national Fox News TV program. G** D*** the Democrats, g** d*** those inadequate black males.
Thank god that Fox is there to help the Democrats by helping this totally oppressed older Americans have the chance to finally tell the nation that she doesn’t think black people are worthy to hold this office.
Harriet isn’t being very racially transcendence, methinks.
…shit, it looks like John McCain’s mom has escaped and is off her MEDS again.
“The Democratic Party left me”
Why do I get the feeling they weren’t the first?
“I was for civil rights, but I’m also for equality for all.”
WTF does that even mean?
What a stupid asshole she is. Please somebody smack her.
I keep having these naive moments when I wonder why overt and despicably racist [sexist/homophobic/whateverist] people are given platforms. Then I remember where we live and who runs things.
Faux Anchor: “Everybody wants a piece of her.”
A piece of that withered old ass?
Ah, Fox. It reflects the temperature of our times, though does mostly resemble an anal thermometer.
She said she’s from Manhattan. I can almost bet she lives in the Upper West Side.
AngryBlakGuy: Can I team up with you and give her some of what “Audicity” is cookin’?
Dear Harriet,
Thanks for making my racist great-aunt look like Rosa Parks.
Sincerely,
A Bitter Obama Whitey From Tennessee
Dave J.: “They have the right not to be lynched, but they’d best not get too uppity.”
Jim Newell: …she is from N.Y. so she may be doing that a lot.
Remember, everyone, the more of these nut jobs that go on the air, the better for Obama.
Dave J.: Interpretted to me by a former Clintonista, it means “I’m for Civil Rights, except when applied equally to all non-white and/or non-female persons.”
There.
Why won’t the national media cover this woman’s true statement that Barack Obama has never ever had any experience doing anything while Hillary Clinton has been the official trainee for the Presidency for 35 years?
What’s weird is that this is like the most professional interview I’ve ever seen Cavuto give. Clearly he needs to be talking to more clinically insane people, because it brings out the best in him.
I for one am sympathetic. I think all women should demand adequate men, white or black.
Dave J.:
It means: “I was for civil rights, as long as the blacks don’t let it go to their heads and start thinking they’ve got a right to be president.”
Dave J.: He was afraid of her.
Harriet Tubman= Black Moses
Harriet Christian= White Armstrong Williams
“I think this is a personal issue, and I think it’s something that nobody has to be involved in, except myself.”
Just me, and my million YouTube hits, and the viewers of Fox News.
Dave J.:
Fox is loving this, because it plays into their whole: “the Democrats are a bunch of racists” script.
MathewBrooks: …if you want I can smack her with my penis! Because contrary to popular belief this “Black Male” is MORE THAN adequate, if you know what I mean!!!
keep it classy fox news! while i can appreciate the trainwreck-quality of this interview, they really oughtta keep this nutbag off the air, for the sake of her now-deeply-ashamed grandchildren…
Cavuto’s doing his best to keep from laughing, and soft-balling his questions like you would for a crazy but very rich old aunt from whom you want to inherit everything. Harriet Christian, on the other hand, is simply a charming and lovely woman. Oh, how I will regret not having her, and so many others like her, speaking directly to us from the White House over the next four years.
jagorev: Hey, watch it, Jago. I’m an Upper West Side native, and I resent the implication that we’re a bunch of self-righteous upper-class racists. That’s way more of an Upper EAST Side thing.
Rear Admiral Harriet Christian of the Army of Bitters (aka Queen of the Ladies Who Lunch). My guess is Jim Beam and Pall Mall Lights.
The resemblance to Mother McCain is resounding. Bat. Shit. Crazy.
I’m surprised that Ailes hasn’t already given Harriet her own show.
What you all didn’t see was the bit that FOX had to cut out.
Cavuto: “So you will not vote for Obama if he is the Democratic nominee?”
Harriet: “That Barack Hussein Obama is going to steal this election just like those inadequate blacks down in New Orleans when they stole and looted stores for food after Katrina. They just expect everything to be handed to them, don’t they? Well, Mr. Obama, I’ve got a long piece of rope and a pack of matches with your name on it. No n****r’s gonna’ run MY country!”
Stereotypes are terrrible!
Yeeeeah, Terrrrrrible!
Electoral College Dropout: yeah, I love that. Oh, yeah, bitch? Then why not restrict your talking to mad, incoherent rantings within the privacy of your own home?
DoctorCulturae: Oh no, not Pall Malls. Either Capris or Virginia Slim Ultra Light Menthol 100s, by the carton.
“I was for civil rights before I was against it”
AngryBlakGuy: with your luck, she’d like it, and you’d gain a bitter, white woman stalker.
I don’t understand the added “inadequate” insult Harriet. Has she seen some of Barry’s *ahem* “qualifications” we don’t know about and found them wanting?
She has obviously single-handedly kept the tobacco companies in business for the past 20+ years. Thank YOU for smoking, Harriet!
Serolf Divad: At least, before a woman does. But a black VEEP. That’s fine. He’ll make a great manservant, too.
Baconcat: YES.
I love that Neil admits that there might be millions of racists backing Hillary.
Also, did anyone notice that the news tag says “Christian: John McCain will be next President.” Are they trying to incite a holy war? oh, wait…
AngryBlakGuy: Yes it has been my experience that that is one stereotype that always pans out.
FunkyPalmettoBug: Why couldn’t she just stay home and kvetch? (Jews, is that how you spell that? Hmm?)
My 89 year old mother (who hates Obama because Oprah endorsed him) makes more sense.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Oh, you are so right!
Don’t count her out, she’s “still heeeere!” Songmeisters please assist…
queeraselvis v 2.0: FILTERLESS Pall Malls which she smokes with a roach clip.
Dave J.:
What’s weird is that this is like the most professional interview I’ve ever seen Cavuto give. Clearly he needs to be talking to more clinically insane people, because it brings out the best in him.
It’s the contrast. Like selling in a used car lot by putting the car with the obvious collision damage and an expanding puddle of radiator fluid next to the car that is actually on fire.
AngryBlakGuy: She’s probably zig-zaging across the whole damn city - no wonder she’s pissed off; it takes her three hours just to make it to Duane Reid for her meds, which is probably why she doesn’t take them.
queeraselvis v 2.0:
Perhaps Mistys, but definitely 100s, in any case.
Dear Harriet,
Oops, you’re racist!
thanks,
America.
Gopherit v2.0: you know, they ARE genetically predisposed to service. And shoe shining.
MathewBrooks:
Swisher Sweets, Canadian Club, and fried bologna sandwiches.
Would somebody get Grandma outta the gin?
The words, “lizard” and “hobo”, come
to mind when I hear that rasp.
loudmouthredhead: Don’t ask me, I’m only half Red Sea Pedestrian.
Dear Harriet,
Suze Orman wants her jacket back and I’m looking for a wife.
Thanks,
Satan
queeraselvis v 2.0: Hardcore Menthol use. You don’t sound like Elaine Streitch and Harvey Firestein’s lovechild otherwise.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Is that a pokemon in your avatar?
Do I have to choose sides in the race war or can I just watch?
Sigh. Fox is going to interview every bat-shit crazy racist jackass they can find for the duration of the election, aren’t they?
What subtle strategy.
I love how when she makes her comment about blacks not knowing why they’re voting for him, Cavuto goes “you really think that all the blacks…” and she cuts him off and says, “No, no, just 99% of the blacks.”
There’s that 1%, probably represented by the nice doorman at her building who calls her Miss Harriet and knows the names of all her grandkids, who she still respects. Thank god.
Another chance to disapprove,
Another brilliant zinger,
Another reason not to move,
Another vodka stinger.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
I’ll drink to that.
Sitting agape after seeing this.
Only in ‘Murrica
Does this bicth get the fact that it was predominently whites that supported Obama. Most black people were still kissing Hitlary’s ass.. Magic Johnson, Snoop Dogg, Gov of PA, the entire Civil Rights clan, Randal, Bond, Maya Angelou, Mary Francis Berry or whatevs..
The worst part is there are millions of Harriets out there.
Did anyone notice she was about to say “after all Bill and Hillary did for….” I am assuming the blacks.
Yeah, Bill made sure many blacks got stiff sentences for minor shit and Hillary couldn’t do anything for health care in her 8 years in office as the experienced first lady. At least Lewinski shined Bill’s sax and clossed the floors with her knees.
Baconcat: That would be The Cheat, an inarticulate little furry friend. Just the kind of furry friend to keep our friend Harriet’s pocket warm on the very lonely train to never-never land.
If Harriet lived in central Illinois, I’m 100% certain that she’d spend 6-8 hours a day at a local gas station playing the video slot machine.
loudmouthredhead: Oh, I see you’re plan, you just want all us jews to point ourselves out for you. Well it’s not going to work! Ha
Dear Harriet,
The Golden Girls called. They want Beatrice Arthur’s voice back.
Thanks,
Jean Weiss
BlackEuro.Observer: In fairness, every nation has tons of people like this, but America is the only one that gives them copious airtime.
“the democratic party left me, i didn’t leave them” has been the mantra of racist turncoats from strom thurmond to zell miller, and it continues to serve them well …
Why am I not surprised that it’s Faux News giving this stupid cunt her 15 minutes?
Go have another Pall Mall and bitch to your husband about how the neighborhood just isn’t the same since all those Puerto Ricans started moving in.
Harriet, what do you mean you haven’t left the Democratic party? You are stating that you will be voting for McCain? Do you see your hypocrisy??? You speak of sexism, but do you see that you’re being racist?!?! News flash!!! The civil war ended in 1865!!!!
Baconcat: @NotUrEvryDayWEzl: I believe that is “The Cheat” from Strongbad.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m the furthest thing from a racist.”
Maybe a bigot then? A bitter old husk of a human being, who should be forcibly retired to FL?
I love how Neil gingerly handles her, almost whispering to her:
“Welcome, Harriet. Welcome to our fold.”
“I’m vary paa-shionate *hack* cough*”
“Shh. It’s ok…you’re among friends here. No darkies in here to scare you…Shh”
“the Democratic party has left me”
And I’ve never been more proud, you whore.
I can’t get over how much she reminds me of my grandmother, whose conversations with me would always go like this:
HER: That Jap over there…
ME: Grandma, you can’t call them that.
HER: But you don’t understand, I grew up during the war. I was terrified during the blitz of London.
ME: You lived in CANADA during the war! And the blitz was the GERMANS!
HER: I still don’t trust the Japs.
Sigh.
Just force her eyelids open, Clockwork Orange style, and make her watch Interracial porn that includes an actress with a Hillary wig and crotchless pantsuit.
I, Donna Brazile, do solemnly swear to open up a can of my mamma’s finest Woop-Ass and give it to this inadequate white bitch!
articulate moran: Gotcha! *checkmark* That’s two now….bwa hahahahhaa *snort*
Dave J.:
Dave, I think it’s more subtle here.
This “in your face” racism would get you hurt.
Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: The Govenor of PA is quite the Caucasian (okay, he’s Jewish).
Dave J.: Classic. For my grandma, replace “Jap” with “Puerto Rican”
wow, ms. christian, you take my breath away.
i wonder how many times her husband beat her before the divorce
Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: “Did anyone notice she was about to say ‘after all Bill and Hillary did for….’ I am assuming the blacks.”
Yeah, she got Cliff’s Notes of Pat Buchannon’s “Message to Whitey in America.”
Well, of course Harriet doesn’t care about the Supreme Court; her uterus (if it’s still there) is filled with gin and sand.
To the old school feminists, I get it, you thought a woman would be elected president within your lifetime and now it’s not happening and you’re really upset. I’m sorry. Sexism is still rampant in this country too. I acknowledge it and apologize. But your anger and spite are misdirected and you sound crazy. You are doing nothing to advance the causes you say you believe in, and are only setting back women in general by helping elect McCain and running your senile mouths on Fox News.
loudmouthredhead: For my story, replace “grandma” with “great aunt” and “Jap” with either “the black” or “n****r”.
TGY: No. It resembles the anal thermometer’s receptacle.
“In my opinion, I’m the furthest thing from a racist.”
She then continues to provide evidence that just maybe there is something further.
Crazy is willing to give up the supreme court to prove a point about gender equality, and it has nothing to do with race? Ignorant blacks don’t even know why they are voting for Barry? UGH.
That is some deep denial, right there.
Want to bet she refers to Obama as a shvartzer in private?
Everybody rise!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fwfimjV4dQ
Oh, ok. I’d prefer Nibbler, because he’d swallow Harriet in one comedic moment and reduce her to dark matter poop.
Baconcat: articulate moran: CORRECT.
superfecta: After Harriet’s rant, I think I’ll go to Barcelona. Curse you Sondheim.
when she said she did not get a call from Hillz she did not fool me.
she is obviously shrilling for Hillary.
AudicityofHope:
I really, really want to hear Donna endorse Barry tonight at some point. Hillz will give her speech, Barry will give his, and in the post mortem, Wolf or Anderson will ask her if she will now publicly support a candidate. She’ll smile and say,
“Come on now, Anderson… you KNOW I was always for Barack Obama, baby…”
All bets are off, people: Harriet Christian has called Shenanigans! (3:30)
Also “…Obama does not have the qualifications to steal the election away from Hillary Clinton…” (3:14) Ummm, isn’t that a good thing? lol
P.S. Note to Fox “News”: Only you would SERIOUSLY book some YouTube crackpot as a legitimate guest. You’re unfuckingbelievable, please go die, kthnxbye.
Tits_LaRue: You shouldn’t wish death on anybod….
OH you said Fox News.
obfuscator: My baby gets what my baby wants.
my mom is so famous now!
AudicityofHope:
Then I’d also like to request that Donna throw a stapler at Begala and tell him to kiss your liberal, college educated, egghead, upscale black ass.
The whole ‘fifteen minutes of fame via youtube’ phenomenon just got a lot uglier.
slavojzizek: It wasn’t ugly before? Need I remind you:
“Leave Britney ALONE! Leave ‘er AAALLLOOONNNEEE!”
shortsshortsshorts: Fox “News” is like the Hydra, you cut off one drooling, mouthbreathing head, and 2 more slobbering dipshit heads grow in its’ place…
I can’t get enough of this woman. She’s like a cross between Archie
Bunker and that crazy woman from The Simpsons who is always hurling cats
at everyone.
Snookums: And yet has the voice of Patty/Selma
Is she drunk? She’s slurring her words just like I do after 3 beers. I’m usually not slurring on about the “blacks,” though.
I finally figured out where I’ve seen Harriet before. Wasn’t she Norman Bates’s mother in “Psycho”?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………….
Yes, white women do not have equal rights in America. Yes, you have it so hard. I mean, you can’t even say that black people vote for the black guy just because he is black without being called a racist. And what do black people do? They talk about how unfair slavery was, and bitch about how slavery and Jim Crow laws caused a racial divide in school funding, number of black people in prisons, and representation in the government. How unfair is your life? You poor woman.
Now, I’d like to point out that there are 86 females in congress and 29 female governors. There are 43 black members of congress (Obama is the only black senator) and 2 black governors (there have only been 4 in US history).
As a white woman, I’m ashamed that this keeps coming up. I may make less per hour than my male counterpart, but I’ve never worried about prison, my life threatened because of my skin color, and I went to a school with a 80% graduation rate. Sexism is horrible, but that doesn’t mean that excuses racism.
“99% of the blacks don’t know why they’re voting for him” … “They’re voting for him simply because he’s a black candidate” … Hmm. O.K., they don’t know he’s black? But they’re voting for him anyway? Wait, what?!
But I know why “the blacks” are voting for him: Kenyan Muslim voodoo powers. He has strong support from the zombie community, too. Strong mojo. Inadequate black male, my ass.
I’m sick of this second class trollop.
floraway: as Chris Rock said: “the ONLY person who gets to look the Black man in the eye in the suffering competition is the American Indian. Now THERE’S some suffering”. Yeah, I white woman have faced some stuff but I would not trade places with a Black man for anything. I am in the catbird seat in comparison.
Someone needs to put a muzzle on John McCain’s mom, ehhh, I mean that lady.
Maybe a copy of “Hung Homeys” will shut her up.
Doglessliberal: Over at Jezebel, there were some folks claiming that “white slavery” was equivalent to black slavery.
The ridiculous lengths people will go to to claim the “Biggest Victim” crown.
Sexism = bad
Racism = bad
Homophobia = bad
Do we really have to compare? You know what’s really freaking bad? Classism. Rich women or black people can transcend their gender/race, but take away their money….
Doglessliberal: floraway: Apologies in advance if you’re not into poetry, but click on this link and scroll down to the poem Crayola Wars. I’ve met the poet before, and she’s cool and a tough broad.
http://www.poetrycentral.com/sheeler.html
I should post it over at Jezebel, and then start a drinking game where one takes a drink every time someone replies “What was the point of posting this?”
Cicada: The biggest elephant in the room in ‘merica: class. Thank you for dealing with the Jez bunch. Every time I do over there my eyes melt out my ears.
Chris Crocker in 50 years>Harriet Christian.
This woman is clearly out of her gourd. This is her 15 minutes of fame, and she wore that?!?
Harriet has made it. She’s a star, goddamnit. Did you hear that? She’s a STAR!
More please, Harriet, you can be the William Hung of your generation.
““The democratic party left me, i didn’t leave them”
Given your insane rhetoric, one is hardly surprised. If Hillaryous isn’t your nominee, you really should vote Republican. You’ll feel right at home. And might even get lucky…
“…Obama does not have the qualifications to steal the election away from Hillary Clinton…”
Whereas you clearly think Hillaryous has the qualifications to steal the election from him and are righteously pissed that it’s not working. Too bad, so sad.
“99% of the blacks don’t know why they’re voting for him … They’re voting for him simply because he’s a black candidate.”
And you’re voting for Hillaryous simply because she’s a white woman. So? Where’s the beef? Or even the difference?
Quick question for the woefully misnamed Ms. “Christian:” When blacks have historically turned out in record numbers for white Democratic candidates like Bubba Klingon, Al Gore and John Kerry, did they also not know what they were doing? Or they did, then, and that was “OK,” but now they don’t, so it’s not “OK?” WTF?
I’ve had more enlightening and illuminating encounters with retarded drunks. How come they are never the guests on FOX News? Why are they only ever FOX News hosts?
Ugh. “Locked people out of caucuses” is the biggest load of shit I’ve ever heard. I was at a caucus in Waverly Iowa and Obama got 70 votes to Clinton’s 20 and nobody was outside. Also this is the most tranquil Fox News interview ever. And the 99% comment is blatant bullshit. “Furthest thing from a racist” Go to bed EVERYBODY.
ManchuCandidate: I prefer not to consider the possibility that she has procreated. Sweet Jesus, imagine that pillow talk.
“I went down on my own. Nobody invited me. Nobody sent me. Nobody paid me.”
Sounds like my kind of lady.
“I can be called white, but you can’t be called black.” What the hell does that mean?
Harriet, chill please, you should have skipped that last self assertiveness seminar, any Danish cartoons handy!
You know, if Fox gave her a 30 minute show let her smoke on air I would watch the shit out of that show. Bitter Coffee Talk.
loudmouthredhead: With lashings of Livia Soprano vindictiveness…
