HILLARY CLINTON

Insane Harriet Christian Has More Thoughts About ‘The Blacks’

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!

    It’s true. 99% of bitter hard-working whites know why they’re voting against him, though (i.e., because he’s black).

  2. stankfest says at 2:15 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Some black must have molested her in antebellum days when she was younger.

  3. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:16 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    …dont make me ANGRY Harriet Christian. You wont like me when I’m ANGRY!!!

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:16 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Cage? check.
    Muzzle? check.
    Thorazine? check.

    Implementation? Soon.

    Those damn second-class citizens!

  6. Cicada says at 2:18 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Fox News, the last refuge for old lady bitters.

  7. johnbpt says at 2:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    You go, Sideshow Harriet!

  8. freakishlystrong says at 2:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Um..what do these wackjobs say about the fact that he’s half (hardworking) WHITE? Does that count? Goddamn Morans

  9. JimNewell says at 2:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: [Harriet sees you, hurries to the sidewalk across the street]

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 2:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!”

  11. UnindictedCo-conspirator says at 2:19 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    This woman belongs in the Deep South. By which I mean hell.

  12. Baconcat says at 2:20 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I… Live… again!!!!!

    Yes, She’s upset because 400 years ago her sister was killed by Othello.

  13. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 2:20 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.”

  14. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:20 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    wow. Her voice is deeper than mine. Total nightmare fuel.

  15. Serolf Divad says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Cut back on the cigarettes, hon… the lung cancer appears to have spread to your brain.

  16. EnBuenOra says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  17. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Harriet isn’t being very racially transcendence, methinks.

  18. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    …shit, it looks like John McCain’s mom has escaped and is off her MEDS again.

  19. johnbpt says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “The Democratic Party left me”

    Why do I get the feeling they weren’t the first?

  20. Dave J. says at 2:21 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “I was for civil rights, but I’m also for equality for all.”

    WTF does that even mean?

  21. MathewBrooks says at 2:22 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    What a stupid asshole she is. Please somebody smack her.

  22. Doglessliberal says at 2:22 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  23. Anita Cocktail says at 2:23 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Faux Anchor: “Everybody wants a piece of her.”
    A piece of that withered old ass?

  24. Ah, Fox. It reflects the temperature of our times, though does mostly resemble an anal thermometer.

  25. jagorev says at 2:23 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    She said she’s from Manhattan. I can almost bet she lives in the Upper West Side.

  26. AudicityofHope says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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

  27. UnindictedCo-conspirator says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.: “They have the right not to be lynched, but they’d best not get too uppity.”

  28. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Jim Newell: …she is from N.Y. so she may be doing that a lot.

  29. jagorev says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Remember, everyone, the more of these nut jobs that go on the air, the better for Obama.

  30. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  31. EnBuenOra says at 2:24 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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?

  32. Dave J. says at 2:25 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  33. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:26 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I for one am sympathetic. I think all women should demand adequate men, white or black.

  34. Serolf Divad says at 2:26 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.”

  35. EnBuenOra says at 2:26 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.: He was afraid of her.

  36. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 2:27 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Harriet Tubman= Black Moses
    Harriet Christian= White Armstrong Williams

  37. Electoral College Dropout says at 2:27 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “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.

  38. Serolf Divad says at 2:28 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.:

    Fox is loving this, because it plays into their whole: “the Democrats are a bunch of racists” script.

  39. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:28 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!!!

  40. sackbagley says at 2:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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…

  41. greatgooglymoogly says at 2:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  42. JewdishoowarySquare says at 2:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  43. DoctorCulturae says at 2:29 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  44. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The resemblance to Mother McCain is resounding. Bat. Shit. Crazy.

  45. obfuscator says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    I’m surprised that Ailes hasn’t already given Harriet her own show.

  46. AudicityofHope says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!”

  47. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Stereotypes are terrrible!
    Yeeeeah, Terrrrrrible!

  48. Doglessliberal says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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?

  49. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 2:31 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    DoctorCulturae: Oh no, not Pall Malls. Either Capris or Virginia Slim Ultra Light Menthol 100s, by the carton.

  50. grobby22 says at 2:32 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “I was for civil rights before I was against it”

  51. Doglessliberal says at 2:32 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: with your luck, she’d like it, and you’d gain a bitter, white woman stalker.

  52. loudmouthredhead says at 2:32 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!

  53. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Serolf Divad: At least, before a woman does. But a black VEEP. That’s fine. He’ll make a great manservant, too.

  54. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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…

  55. MathewBrooks says at 2:33 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Yes it has been my experience that that is one stereotype that always pans out.

  56. loudmouthredhead says at 2:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    FunkyPalmettoBug: Why couldn’t she just stay home and kvetch? (Jews, is that how you spell that? Hmm?)

  57. Johnny_Zhivago says at 2:34 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    My 89 year old mother (who hates Obama because Oprah endorsed him) makes more sense.

  58. DoctorCulturae says at 2:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Oh, you are so right!

    Don’t count her out, she’s “still heeeere!” Songmeisters please assist…

  59. MathewBrooks says at 2:35 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: FILTERLESS Pall Malls which she smokes with a roach clip.

  60. 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.

  61. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:36 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  62. obfuscator says at 2:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0:

    Perhaps Mistys, but definitely 100s, in any case.

  63. articulate moran says at 2:37 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dear Harriet,

    Oops, you’re racist!

    thanks,
    America.

  64. Doglessliberal says at 2:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: you know, they ARE genetically predisposed to service. And shoe shining.

  65. obfuscator says at 2:38 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    MathewBrooks:

    Swisher Sweets, Canadian Club, and fried bologna sandwiches.

  66. SocialList says at 2:39 pm, June 3rd, 2008

  67. bitchincamaro says at 2:39 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    The words, “lizard” and “hobo”, come
    to mind when I hear that rasp.

  68. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 2:40 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: Don’t ask me, I’m only half Red Sea Pedestrian.

  69. AudicityofHope says at 2:41 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dear Harriet,

    Suze Orman wants her jacket back and I’m looking for a wife.

    Thanks,
    Satan

  70. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 2:41 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Hardcore Menthol use. You don’t sound like Elaine Streitch and Harvey Firestein’s lovechild otherwise.

  71. Baconcat says at 2:42 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: Is that a pokemon in your avatar?

    Do I have to choose sides in the race war or can I just watch?

  72. 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.

  73. Dave J. says at 2:43 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  74. superfecta says at 2:43 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Another chance to disapprove,
    Another brilliant zinger,
    Another reason not to move,
    Another vodka stinger.
    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
    I’ll drink to that.

  75. BlackEuro.Observer says at 2:44 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Sitting agape after seeing this.
    Only in ‘Murrica

  76. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 2:44 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  77. ForTheTurnstiles says at 2:44 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  78. obfuscator says at 2:44 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  79. articulate moran says at 2:44 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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

  80. AudicityofHope says at 2:45 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dear Harriet,

    The Golden Girls called. They want Beatrice Arthur’s voice back.

    Thanks,

  81. Dave J. says at 2:45 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    BlackEuro.Observer: In fairness, every nation has tons of people like this, but America is the only one that gives them copious airtime.

  82. capitol-hillbilly says at 2:45 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “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 …

  83. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 2:45 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  84. Trudance Clearwater says at 2:45 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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!!!!

  85. articulate moran says at 2:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Baconcat: @NotUrEvryDayWEzl: I believe that is “The Cheat” from Strongbad.

  86. loudmouthredhead says at 2:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “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”

  87. TJBeck says at 2:46 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    “the Democratic party has left me”

    And I’ve never been more proud, you whore.

  88. Dave J. says at 2:48 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  89. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 2:50 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  90. AudicityofHope says at 2:50 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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*

  92. BlackEuro.Observer says at 2:52 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.:
    Dave, I think it’s more subtle here.
    This “in your face” racism would get you hurt.

  93. Whore Diamond in the Rough says at 2:52 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Slutty_Chola_Cobbler: The Govenor of PA is quite the Caucasian (okay, he’s Jewish).

  94. loudmouthredhead says at 2:52 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Dave J.: Classic. For my grandma, replace “Jap” with “Puerto Rican”

  95. GenghisConvict says at 2:54 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    wow, ms. christian, you take my breath away.
    i wonder how many times her husband beat her before the divorce

  96. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 2:54 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.”

  97. NoWireHangers says at 2:55 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    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.

  98. AudicityofHope says at 2:55 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    loudmouthredhead: For my story, replace “grandma” with “great aunt” and “Jap” with either “the black” or “n****r”.

  99. nowukkers says at 2:55 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    TGY: No. It resembles the anal thermometer’s receptacle.

  100. “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?

  101. DoctorCulturae says at 2:57 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  102. Baconcat says at 2:57 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    Oh, ok. I’d prefer Nibbler, because he’d swallow Harriet in one comedic moment and reduce her to dark matter poop.

  103. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:59 pm, June 3rd, 2008
  104. nowukkers says at 3:02 pm, June 3rd, 2008

    superfecta: After Harriet’s rant, I think I’ll go to Barcelona. Curse you Sondheim.
