- DUMB GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN PROUDLY DEPLOYS RACIST CODE WORD: Oh good Lord. Lynn Westmoreland, some boneheaded Georgia Republican congressman, called Barack Obama “uppity” today. UPPITY. This is just plain amazing, since usually even Republicans are smart enough to use clever code words like “community organizer” to describe irritating black people who demonstrate their outrageous sense of superiority and entitlement by trying to, uh, help people. [The Hill]
I’m glad you finally said it.
“Community Organizer” is the new “Bloc Vote” from Jesse’s day.
Well, looks like Hopey won’t have any trouble beating $10m by the time McCain speaks.
We’re all Georgians now.
Wow… times like this make me glad I left GA for the snarky (but cold) north…
“Shitting on Uppity Folks” is one of the 10 commandments that Lynn Westmoreland forgot.
Lynn doesn’t know his Ten Commandments, but he does know how to tell us what he’s really thinking.
Had to be uppity. See, most of the other stuff they toss out lately, like “beaner”, just doesn’t apply to Barry. Cut them some slack while they try to figure out how to smear a black man, and not light up the outrage-o-meter.
I had the exact same thought last night - “community organizer” is the new “uppity negro”. But what I found more offensive was Joe Lieberman referring to Obama as an “eloquent young man”. A 47-year-old Senator is a mature, grown-up, adult human being, not a “young man”. You use “young man” to refer to callow youths and adolescents. It’s one step away from “boy”.
Well, as Jessie Jackson would say, “Uppity with Hope! Downnity with Dope!”
NOOOOOOO, HE DIDN’T? HE DID!
*facepalm*
I’d apologize for the entire state of Georgia, in which I live, but it’s hopeless and further stupidities will doubtlessly be forthcoming.
There is no such thing as an uppity muslim, so it doesn’t count.
Sean O: yeah, we haven’t made our September donation to the Hopey fund yet, and this makes me want to do it right now.
jagorev: Well, to Biden, Obama probably is a young man. And as far as eloquent (and for that matter, articulate) when you compare Obama to, say, Bush, well, America needs eloquence and articulation. It’s been a while.
Representative Westmoreland could have played it safe and called Barry a shiftless, baby-making, crackhead Inuit. But noooooooooo.
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old slurs there are not forgotten
Blah, blah, blah …
WadISay: ha.
Sorry Sister Sledge
He is Uppity
I got all my klan bros with me
He is Uppity
Get up ev’rybody and sing
Ev’ryone can see we’re together
As we march on by
(MARCH!) and we wear those white hoods of a Klansman
I won’t tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can he be preznit?
Just let me state for the record
We’re saying uppity in a klan way
(CHORUS x2)
Yelling slurs is fun and we’ve just begun
To get our share of the world’s disgust
(Hot!) long rope we have for the future
And our cross’ in sight
(WE!) no we don’t get depressed
Here’s what we call our hanging rule
Don’t fall for hope in the things you do
You won’t go black
This is our Cracker Jewel
Texas XXXs:
Jinx!
TGY: It’s alright. I have a friend in Georgia who is just as lovely, intelligent, funny, and not racist as you’d like a friend to be. Of course, she grew up in the northeast…
I’m just wondering how Barry and Michelle can be members of an individual, elite or otherwise.
Lynn Westmoreland is a Moran. And probably fucks pigs.
TGY: It’s alright, the Russians will keep you in line.
Well, gosh darnit, how are you supposed to inform people that this Hopey Bogangles thinks he’s AS GOOD as a white person? Mime? Shadow puppets? The man has to use words, doesn’t he?
Ha HA… racism.
jagorev: Agreed. The way they intone it is even more damning. Why not just say states rights?
Wow. “Boy” and “uppity” have been floated around by congressmen. And pictures of him alongside white women with menacing music in the background. How long before Palin slips and says Obama doesn’t know how real Amurkins eat (i.e. those charming and folksy mooseburgers), since he’s too good even for fried chicken?
Disgusting.
Sarah K. Smith:
Why not post the whole quote? The congressman’s grammar is sublime. Him see things to know on Obama elitist members of uppity individual group.
Doglessliberal: I suspect there will be more donating this eve during the Inebriation Festival of John McFive&1/2. Perhaps time it till then?
Can we count this as Barry winning another three or for electorals?
I hope, for this country, it does…
Is anyone watching Hardball? It’s chaos! And wonderful! Tweety and Pat are going to either kiss or kill each other, any second.
Look people, this guy, “Obama,” is a BLACK GUY who thinks he is BETTER than WHITE FOLKS by having the gumption to think he can be President of the US of A.
If that is not the very definition of an uppity negro I don’t know what is and I don’t see what’s wrong with pointing that out to the liberal media that have overlooked that fact.
…here is a translation of all the Republican code words:
Elitist = Uppity
Community Organizer = The person who gets all the “Color’ds” worked up
Exotic = N%gger
Hockey Mom = White woman(e.g. Carol Brady/June Cleaver)
Country First = the other guy is a traitor
They dont know enough about him = He might be a Mooslim
Sexist = Stop asking questions already
Liberal = the bottom 95% of the income bracket
That’s a pretty Thurmondy thing for him to say.
Thurmondy? No, that’s not code. It’s a traditional designation — goes way back.
Considering how many times Walnuts and the Repubtards have shot themselves in the foot, they’ll all need prosthetic limbs soon enough! Oh, and Congressman Westmoreland? Remember to wash your hands after cross-burning.
The best part of the whole thing was the media asking him “clarify” uppity. I wish we had the tape of that exchange, just to see who comes out looking dumber - Westmoreland or the media asking to clarify a transparently racist statement.
irisheyes: Dang, I could use somebody lovely-funny-intelligent right now. :p Oh, well.
iwillsavethispatient: I think their tanks must’ve gotten lost. Haven’t seen ‘em.
AngryBlakGuy:
Base = White Bible Thumping Retards who keep us in power aka SUCKERS
Terrorist = Ethnic folks who scare the shit out of us
Welfare Queen = Browned poor folks who steal hard working people’s money
Hard Working People = White People
I hates when my negroes git all up in their freedumb.
You know, I didn’t get a chance to read the whole quote from this boob. Obama “thinks” he’s uppity. He’s flirting, like those Holly-weird celebutards are prone to do–before they hoover up a ton of blow.
Why doesn’t Obama want to do meth, like the good people of Alaska? Me thinks he’s too uppity!
AngryBlakGuy:
“Honey, Spencer didn’t make the football team! I think it’s because there were too many exotic kids trying out! I wish those elitist community organizer exotics had never pushed for busing back in the late 70’s!”
LOVED his exact quote:
“Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they’re a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they’re uppity,” Westmoreland said.
Who’s this “elitist class individual” of which the Obamas are a member?
ManchuCandidate: AngryBlakGuy: That’s all well and good and hilarious, except for the part where that’s actually what they are thinking when they are giving their flag-waving speeches.
AngryBlakGuy:Don’t forget the male version of “Sexist.”
POW - Stop asking those questions, already.
4tehlulz: Some reporters like to offer their interviewee an “out” when they’re about to completely screw themselves over. And they never, ever, ever take the out.
The Lucky Republican: Dude, I know you’re being snarky and ironic. Nonetheless, I have the burning desire to murder you right now.
Here is a preview of McKorman’s speech tonight:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoM-ZC7uNnc
Here is why these racist white dudes fear Obama so much. They think when push comes to shove he’ll balk at killin’ the brown people in foreign lands.
Urbanachiever: Dude, elitists are like Voltron. The more you put together, the better it gets.
Wait…
This guy was on the first season of Colbert. He ran on a christian values platform (of course). Colbert asked him to recite the 10 commandments. With Colbert’s help he named THREE.
Not again! The stupidity being spewn from the mouths of the repubs is absolutely incredible. I am now so pissed I have to make myself feel better by donating for the second time in one day. I am going to have to sell myself or someone else to replenish my little Obama savings account if I keep getting hyper-pissed at this rate.
Strictly for the Tardcore: Yeah I know, but once your interviewee drops uppity, giving an out seems utterly pointless.
The Lucky Republican: Here here! At least he’s not a Dirty Jew.
Strictly for the Tardcore: You mean like a SUPER uppity elitist organizer with special powers and stuff?
Urbanachiever: Yes. That’s why we should elect Barry RIGHT NOW, because him and his uppity elitist buddies can SAVE US FROM ALIENT MONSTERS.
it’s a bit absurd the Repubs are running the on the George Wallace platform and keeping this thing close.
Urbanachiever: I love to fly elitist class. Nothing feels better than using a blue collar Bush-lover for a footstool.
S.Luggo: No one here is making proclamations in their role as a Congressman from a district with a strong history of racism.
For some ’strange’ reason “Fuck Tha Police” just came on my Ipod.
Mmhmmm.
ManchuCandidate:
obfuscator:
tunamelt:
Illegal Immigrant = Bean Eater
Tax Cut = More for me
Drill here Drill now = SUCKERS!!!
Maverick = I think they fell for it!
POW = I was a miserable fukk up of a pilot that got shot down due to my own incompetence which led to my “5 and half years Alan!” in a Vietnamese prison which I then use as justification for cheating on my wife and fukking over the people of the United States in a savings and loans scandal!
AngryBlakGuy:
I thought Drill Here Drill Now = Riding bareback (ie: no condom)
AngryBlakGuy: Thanks for that… I’m getting cards printed up.
Urbanachiever: Pressed further, Westmoreland exclaimed, “Looky hyeah, now. Don’ ya’ll git it? Ah mean, at long las’ can we jus’ drop thu pretense and come on out an’ say it? He’s black, God dammit, black as thu ace a spades! Ah don’ cay-uh if his mamma was white as a snow drif’, they ain’ no way we gonna vote fuh his uppity black ass! Thay-ah, it’s all fahn’ly out in thu opin. Let the race begin!” Westmoreland was almost immediately clubbed over the head by Secret Service operatives, who then covered her with a plastic sheet and removed her sweaty, quivering mass to an undisclosed location. More at 11:00.
ManchuCandidate:
Hard Working Americans = Whiter People
Family Values = Homely, pregnant, unwed teenager with unemployed stoner boyfriend
Urban = Koran reader
Executive experience = Mayor of Methville, Alaska (pop. 2000 minus the heads)
Christian = Not Urban
Birth Control = What? Spell that please.
ManchuCandidate: And Riding Bareback/aka “I want to fuck you without a condom” is the new “I love you.” Which is how you know Bristol and Levi really love each other.
ManchuCandidate: I know! We could ask Bristol!
greatgooglymoogly: Lynn’s a dude, so clearly race isn’t the only thing he’s been confused about his whole life.
greatgooglymoogly: The sad thing is that I believe that Massah Westmoreland in running unopposed this year.
Portrayal Of Obama As Elitist Hailed As Step Forward For African Americans:
http://www.theonion.com/content/video/portrayal_of_obama_as_elitist
Think we have some racists in the woodpile
4tehlulz: I really wonder if they were not just CTA’s so when Westmoreland’s handler’s/the RNC tried to tell them they “misunderstood” they could say, “No, we surely did not!”S.Luggo: Can we manage a write in?
S.Luggo: I thought Christian = judgmental hypocrites.
WadISay: Goofball. You almost got a spit take out of me.
TGY: Don’t feel bad, all sensible American’s are in the same boat apologizing to the rest of the world for Dubya.
WadISay: But Walnuts never explained what kind of Georgians we are. Are we Anuses from Atlanta, Abortionist Akazians, Trashy Tbislians or Oral Ossetians?
You folks don’t get it. This is the new post-Palin GOP. Screw you liberal hippies, 9/3 changed everything.
Maybe Westmoreland is trying to enhance the intellectual standing of Palin and McCain by offering a contrast. If I had a nickel for each time I said “what is wrong with these people”, I’d be in a Republican leadership tax bracket by now.
AngryBlakGuy: Wow. You wrote a dictionary when you just got back from that bender you went on in Detroit? Angry = Smarter than whiteguys.
So, how long until Palin starts ranting about “Canadians”?
Like Diddy said, there aren’t any black people in Alaska.
LYNN Westmoreland is a guy!? A southern dude with an old lady name best not be calling Obama uppity. Obama just might get uppity, snatch that lace handkerchief from Lynn’s dainty hand and lay Westmoreland out on his own fainting couch with the black power salute. Oh… Ahh doo declare… all this violence is giving Lynn the vapors.
SkimLatteModerate: Au contraire. One of my sixth grade classmates was an Afro-American, originally from Alaska. (We were in school in South Carolina.) Stand-up guy, too.
Meanwhile, the only Inuit/Alaskan Native type I have known, college classmate — total asshole.
cant believe noone has posted the relevant Python clip yet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOx2ZY4B9Gk
embedded probably wont work but here’s a try
I’m trying to think of something clever to call him back but all I come up with is fuckin Republican. Eh, that’ll do.
Lynn Westmoreland has exploded!
and a good thing, too.
The election is still 2 months away; I’m sure “mainstream” Republicans will be using the N word openly, freely and often by then.
westmoreland is not a college graduate, so he thinks anybody with a degree is puttin’ on airs. the citizens of georgia are well represented by this moran.
4tehlulz: Too subtle.
shoeho:
”S.Luggo: Can we manage a write in?”
Jimmy Carter were he not so intent upon becoming a saint rather than being known to history as a presidential a-hole.
Zell Miller, should he ever recover from Alzheimer’s dementia. Doubtful.
Andrew Young, if he stops being a Republican. See last comment above.
Hank Aaron. Please. Nobility in spirit.
Westmoreland shouldn’t be throwing stones from his uppity candidate’s eight houses.
As bad as Mittens Romney talking about the return of Big “Brother”!
SayItWithWookies: It’s not Thurmondy unless he whistles Dixie while Obama is with him in an elevator.
gurukalehuru: Squeal!
