On yesterday’s edition of the television program Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace dared ask his guest, weird Joe Wilson, if he hates Barack Obama because of his black race. (It is common for white people to hate/enslave black people in South Carolina.) Wilson was all, no c’mon man! Then he empirically proved that he is best friends with the black Michelle Obama: “I respect President Obama. Actually, there’s a relationship in a way … his wife, ah, her family’s from Georgetown [South Carolina], ah, my family’s from next door, in McClellanville, so I, ah, have a great respect for the president.” WE BET THESE FAMILIES HUNG OUT ALL THE TIME.

LIAR
Some of my best friends are colored people.
My in laws love me. Just sayin’.
[/wife joke]
Respect by proximity? I hate my fukking neighbors. Escalade-driving Jesus freaks with “Celebrate Life” license plates.
“Hung out” was a kind of iffy word choice given the context.
In fact, some of the people that live the next town over from me are black!
“It’s kind of sweet when Joe Wilson notes the proximity of his family and Michelle (nee Robinson) Obama’s family in South Carolina. I’m sure there were frequent cotillions, quilting bees and poker games shared by the two clans. And when it was late on a moonless night and the Wilsons could not easily locate the Robinson homestead, all they needed was a burning cross to light their way.

Top that snark.
Cheeze. Dick.
[re=410228]Buzz Feedback[/re]: I was commenting to my girlfriend about those very license plates yesterday. The ones that say “Choose Life.” I told her, “Wouldn’t people be choosing life by NOT having kids?” Because, as we all know, and as I’m fond of saying, kids ruin everything. Including your lives.
Ah, errr, ah, errr, ah, errr.
Just back away from the television camera, Joe, and no one has to get hurt.
Massa’ Joe is such a moron, it’s hardly even fun to snark about him.
Why does the spell-checker on Wonkette flag “snark” as a possible misspelling?
[re=410237]groove[/re]: kids ruin everything. Including your lives.
Not if yours is so echoey and empty that living vicariously though your own young-ins is the only life you can scrounge up.
Come on, be open minded! The troll compels us to, and I’m trying to comply…
[re=410237]groove[/re]: I love those tags as they let me know exactly where the fucking idiots on the road are.
Mike Wallace hates his son and so do I.
Actually that house looks fairly nice for 1850, nicer then say a closet under a stairway in New York City of that period. Maybe you should show pictures of that jail in Africa they kept the slaves in.
In fact, if you examine the background of the photo closely, you can see Michelle Obama working her organic garden under the boot heel of Wilson family overseers.
[re=410249]pedestrian rage[/re]: Win.
So “relationship in way” means “used to own”?
And really, is there a closer relationship than that between a family descended from slavery and another family that prevents the first from learning to read, walking on the white sidewalk or gathering together in groups of three or more? I think not.
[re=410249]pedestrian rage[/re]: Please Massa Addison, can’t we have us just one small patch of mesclun mix hereabouts? I promise I’ll weed out any arugula that comes up in it.
That is exactly what I thought when I was watching that ‘interview’. He’s all ‘how can I hate her husband when my people used to own her people? It’s impossible!’
I really wanted to choke him out UFC style, then teabag him.
Its Addison Graves Wilson. Joe is as phony a political ploy as “Bobby” Piyush Jindal or Willard “Mitt” Romney. Reptilian scumbags just lie about every fucking thing.
Hmmm, who is the slave in this scenario? Joe Wilson’s marionette strings are practically visible.
And where is lollibs? Please come back, we want to piss in your fa – uh, er, laugh at you some more.
[re=410268]gurukalehuru[/re]: I confess, I give “Newt” and “Rush” a lot of credit for sucking up to their fucked up given names.
[re=410237]groove[/re]: best part about those awful plates are the creepy yellow smiley faces (one with a fucking BOW on its head). Next year I’m getting the planned parenthood plates just to piss the jesus freaks off.
Maybe they “hung out” in the sense of a noose and an oak tree.
OMG! Now I know why Joe Wilson hates the Obamas! We all should! Michelle’s great-grandfather killed The Fugitive’s wife!
Don’t forget this memorable passage from Joe Wilson’s bestselling book, “The Politics of Neighbors: The History of the Obamas and Wilsons in the Deep South:”
I fondly remember those rainy weekends when it was too wet to play outside, and all of the Obama teenagers and Wilson teenagers would gather in our shag-carpetted, wood-panelled, poster-decorated downstairs recreation room to play strip poker, naked twister, and strip spin-the-bottle. One of those trysts ended with all of the Wilson teens and Obama teens sprawled out atop each other, fast asleep, drunk, with only a couple of thin bedsheets covering us, and all of our parents came home and found us down there!! Boy, we were all grounded for a week after that! But I know that our teens all got along well together, as they all attended proms, homecomings, football games, dances, Ruritan oyster dinners, basketball games, bingo games, picnics, wine tastings, craft festivals, rock concerts, the theater, local opera productions, fundraisers, confirmations, bar mitzvahs, weddings and Shriner ham-and-turkey dinners together. No lie!”
“The Politics of Neighbors” is a joint MoveOn-Hertigate Foundation publication.
[re=410246]Crapola[/re]: “Jesus has a gun … and He votes!”
Perhance Michelle and Joe both sprang from Strom Thurmond’s powerful loins. Nah, Michelle is too good looking. Joe, on the other hand….
He can see Michelle Obama’s family from his house!
Reminds me of the warmth shared by Otis Day & The Nights with the Deltas.
[re=410224]Mr. Tusks[/re]: We need to rally a group of trolls to follow this crapfest around and harass him ala Ben Konop’s fan club.
“Booooooooo! Boooooo! LIAR! Joe Wilson booooooooo! Liar!”
[re=410298]Darkness[/re]: Messican Jesus would be subject to 10-20-Life and would have been scrubbed from the voter rolls if he were down here in Florida.
[re=410237]groove[/re]: Good point. Maybe I’ll send my 4yr old to the neighbors house when he wakes me up to take a dump at 3am.
Funky White Cracker.
They had an, err, business arrangement whereby Michelle’s ancestors would work for free and, in exchange, Wilson’s ancestors wouldn’t whip the everloving crap out of them.
The Layne shack is a lil’ old place where we can snark together.
Layne shack, baby!
I can’t believe he said that he respects the president. That’ll cost him a couple hundred grand in donations. People are probably calling their banks in droves this morning to stop payment on their pay pal credit cards.
Not much pisses me off more than one of these jackasses trying to “prove” he’s not prejudiced as all hell by spouting off some convoluted tripe with a tortured logic that makes sense only to him. Christ, just say he’s a credit to his race and get it over with.
The only reason I exist today is for my father, at 15, running for his life to hop on the first train out of South Carolina up to where he sister was in New York. Why? Because the KKK was going to lynch him that night for standing up to a white boy who was bullying a smaller black boy.
My father would have been lynched in South Carolina. After knowing that my existence hinges on the scant few moments of my father having to escape such a fate, all the fuckery of South Carolina politics and personalities doesn’t really amuse me much. Just more evidence of what I see is so inherently wrong with that place. The place is just… WRONG.

Americans, I am very confused by your country so please forgive the ignorance of this question: is there any possible way of actually expelling the South from your country? It seems to me a lot of people on both sides would be much happier with this arrangement. The rest of the world awaits your reply.
White people occasionally make the mistake of relating their family tree with that of a black person. Its interesting when they realize their mistake mid-statement.
She should challenge the sumbitch to arm wrestle.
[re=410367]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]:
You know…they DID seceed. Perhaps the paperwork that was filed to reinstate them into the union was not properly signed and dated. You might be on to something. Wouldn’t it be great to nulify the south…to give them the opportunity to create their own country…at which point they could align with other countries with such deep seated institutional racism….like Darfur.
After hearing him speak a time or two recently I realize that Lindsey Graham may know his dark secret.
[re=410247]finallyhappy[/re]: Yeah, tough question there Chris. I’d say there was about a zero to a billion chance that Wilson would say that, yes, he did indeed hate black people. Although, if he did, he’d probably be more popular in the Republican Party than he already is.
[re=410377]conservethis[/re]: where is South Carolina’s birth certificate?
[re=410377]conservethis[/re]: FIRST to secede. Don’t sleep on redneck pride – or systemic racism.
Heck, even some of their best slaves were black.
Joe Wilson can see Michelle Obama from his house, particularly when she rears her head and comes into his airspace.
Joe was just callin’ a spade a spade…..
I’d like to see Michele Obama slap the Mandingo right outa his mouth.
[re=410320]Downtheroadapiece[/re]: That is a great idea! I loved the direct, no-nonsense simplicity of that heckle. Someone, post Joe “Boooooooo, liar, Booooooooo” Wilson’s schedule.
Wilson to the Obamas: “Pwned!”
[re=410261]zenferret[/re]: Ownership usually included sex.
Conservative (in the USA): someone who wants to own slaves again.
Liberal: someone who declines to be a slave of a conservative.
He wasn’t shouting “You lie” at Obama. He was saying “You lie-arned from Clinton’s mistake!” We didn’t let him finish.
[re=410980]zhubajie[/re]: Thank you for that. It will go a long way towards helping me explain American politics to my European comrades.
OK! How hard is it to find which generation in Joe Wilson’s ancestry was the last generation to where the hood and burn the cross? Strom Thurmond was KKK early on. There has to be a directly related Wilson. There has to be! Some smart person start looking under South Carolina rocks.
This is one of the most racist posts I have ever read. Why do you think everything is about racism?
