Poor Georgia Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal. He was trying in Congress this one time to make sure that all illegals either show their birth certificates or die, but then the “ghetto grandmothers” complained that they did not have their birth certificates handy. Oh, those old ladies in the ghetto! Deal has apologized, but had a very important serious point, okay? [YouTube, AJC]
Si oui, yes.
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Georgia mornin’
A poor little black child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
’cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
it’s another Birf Certificate oh please
In the ghetto
I call sexism. Why come the ghetto grandfathers get a free ride?
M A C A C A !!!!!!!!!!
Tyler Perry, SHOW US UR BIRF CERTIFIKATE!
Under what circumstances must these be shown and to whom? Is the bill forming the police squads who will cordone sections of the cities and go door to door next up on the docket?
Doris Ziffel: There are no ghetto grandfathers, silly.
They always get murdered before their countless bastard offspring have their first out-of-wedlock welfare baby.
Shit, this guy hit the wingtard trifecta; racist, illeeeeegals and birfers. Yay for wingtards!
Quotes from his non-apology apology:
“It’s time for my opponents to put down their video cameras and stop taking my words out of context,”
It’s the phrase itself that’s offensive - and no, it doesn’t look any better in context.
“I regret my choice of words and in no way meant to offend anyone.”
Except, of course, for the Mexicans that your legislation was specifically designed to offend.
Poor grandmothers, they got a rotten Deal.
What is the Deal with these Ghetto Grandmothers?? They’re all 36 years old— how do you get to be a grandmother at 36? Was your baby sitter Roman Polanski?
Oh those New Deal comic stylings…
“The Ghetto Grandmothers”
*ring ring*
GG: Hello, this Ghetto Mother Fucking Grandmothers.
Nathan Deal: Ummm, Ghetto grandma, uncle cracker wants your ID.
GG: heheh, uncle cracker wants what? I guess you aint puttin’ down what I’m stressin…
(break it down)
with apologies to the Getto Boys
He wants to pull the plug on Ghetto Grandmas?
AbstinenceOnly Ed: Hey now, I’ve got a cousin who was a grandmother at 36. Of course, she’s a white redneck, so just a good ole’ patriotic American.
Get-TOE grandmas say sí, libruls say oui (between sips of latte), real Americans say a-yup or you betcha.
Video cameras are always taking what you say and do out of context. Ever hear of do-it-yourself movie editing, libtards?
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The term “ghetto” is considered racist by some when used to describe a particular type of person.
Hmmmm, what particular type of person might that be?
Show me something in the average person’s wallet or purse that proves citizenship. There’s nothing, because this is US America where you get to change your identity whenever you want. Not sure that makes any sense, but that’s our system. If we had some kind of national identity card you wouldn’t have to carry a wallet full of plastic, each piece of which says only “I’m V572625694.”
JMP: Among the younger folks I know, “ghetto” is used as an adjective, and not a good one. So “ghetto grandmothers” was intended to be, and was, offensive. So STFU, Cong Deal.
Yeah, I know I never leave the house without my BC. These jackasses never give it a rest do they?
I think this grandmother-hater needs to be defenestrated.
I am not a Southerner or a politician- Can someone here enlighten me as to how his words were taken out of context? How would I understand this in a non-racist way?
OT, but now’s that guy Christ Christey doing in the VA goobernor race? Think Eric Cantor will vote for him?
Really. why are these brown people so hesitant to show us their papers? That’s what all freedom loving countries expect.
The one thing he’ll be happy to know about Ghetto Grandmothers, they never even talk about wanting their Motherfucking Iced Tea. They act like people.
If you read Dan Brown you will learn that the Virgin Mary was a “ghetto grandmother.”
trembly camera. camera nervous? camera giggling? camera palsied? camera shivering with cold? my eyeballs are now trembly.
Yes, black president, sure, Glenn Beck and deep-seated hatred, and oh, look! there’s a severe uptick in the use of the “N” word…
…but goddammit, are ANY of these “smarter than the average dumb n*gg*r” white people just culturally unaware that a) Barack’s in, and b) Everyone made Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” not long ago? Especially since everyone carries a personal recording studio with them at all times these days.
Maybe it’s more prevalent thanks to services like Youtube and camera ubiquity, but it just seems someone’s gotten racially retarded in eight months.
I think it’s terrible that someone would secretly record his speech and not even have the decency to dress up like pimps.
“…was a lottery.”
(with a Spanish accent): “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
V572625694: Oops, make that NJ, not VA.
Here in Georgia we have the most intense concentration of rock bottom stupid politicians in the country. We have Rain Dance Sonny Perdue, Lyn Westmoreland of Colbert fame (”all ten????”), Phil Gingrey (I don’t know whether his most notably moronic thing was his groveling apology to Rush Limbaugh, or the creepy TV spot of him waving teabags on each side of his head saying “I got muh teabags here ..), Tom Price, Paul Braun, Saxby Chambliss, and my current favorite, John Oxendine, who’s running for governor on a platform of paving over a big portion of the City of Atlanta.
finallyhappy: See the “put down the video camera” part of his ‘apology’; his words, like George Allen’s “macacca”, were taken out of context by being shown to the general populace instead of just his intended audience of fellow racists.
Bristol could be a grandma by 36. Also, too.
Sick Puppy: oops I mean Sarah.
So, where do they plan to deport these ghetto grammas to? And who will look after the ghetto kids and grandkids who no doubt were born in US Murkka, but haven’t grown up enough to use birf control properly>
I think this guy should submit documentation proving he’s a human being.
Let me get this straight, Nobama won’t show his long form birftificate because he’s a ghetto granny? Sure, why the hell not! Back to you, Orly.
phineas_bounderby: Yeah, and this guy is just another addition to the Georgia Racial Progress Hall of Fame.
Atlanta: the City too Busy to Hate
Georgia: the state too racist and stupid to think (oh, hi Saxby, you asshole).
I interviewed for a job in Atlanta with a managing director who looked and talked just like this guy. Over dinner, his sole interest appeared to be determining whether my politics matched my Yankee roots. He’d pull out terms similar to “ghetto grandmother” while eating, and would look up slightly to see if I was nodding my head in approval. Instead, I think he detected East Coast liberal elite condescension.
I did not get the job.
Don’t you people get it? Ghetto Grandmas HAD birth certificates. They were just too poor to have plastic bags to put them in, so the ink washed off the paper.
JMP: Umm, Glenn Beck told me urban blacks & mexicans have a monopoly on drug use & teen pregnancy, so those Bible Belt back road bumpkins & trailer park trash are just a liberal-media meth. Myth. Ahh, durn it! It’s gittin’ hard to parrot these lies! More viagra, jim beam & red bull fer me! And oxy, it’s okay cos its medisin.
finallyhappy: Can someone here enlighten me as to how his words were taken out of context? How would I understand this in a non-racist way?
Um, maybe he was referring to “Warsaw Ghetto Grandmothers”? Who lost their papers in the (big H) Holocaust? Or, um…yeah, never mind. It’s just a big fat ignorant racist duck.
phineas_bounderby: And don’t forget Deal’s opponent, Karen Handel, who’s staffer taped this a-hole does not have a college degree. What kind of stoopid does that make Deal exactly? And also too, a friend of mine who is a native Georgian told me that during the Civil War all of the courageous and smart people in the State went off to fight and eventually died in battle. All that was left were the weak-minded yellow-bellies to carry on the legacy of the confederacy. In looking at your list, somehow it all makes sense.
For some reason this reminds me of a totally white joke:
Q. How can you tell when a wedding is a Mormon festivity?
A. When the mother of the bride is pregnant!
(there are so many kinds of creepy, and so many of them are white and vote Republican)
It used to be a lot of states didn’t give birth certificates, automatically. South Dakota did not, before FDR.
phineas_bounderby: Well in his defense, the rain dance did work… a little too well.
[OT] EWW!!!! ANNE COULTER IS ON LARRY KING LIVE!
RubberSoul: This just made my day. I cannot stop laughing. Thank you.
Then apologize to Max Cleland for Karl Rove you Georgia prick.
V572625694: Birth certificate please
RubberSoul: “I think it’s terrible that someone would secretly record his speech and not even have the decency to dress up like pimps.”
ROTFLMAO!
When I read “ghetto grandmothers”, I couldn’t help but think of tiny little Polish women all bundled up and asking kindly to be seen by a doctor. And, then, Nazi like this screaming at her in German to go away or they’d split her skull.
ManchuCandidate: Fun fact: “In the Ghetto” was written by Mac Davis, who followed Elvis into a bathroom and passed the demo tape under the partition into the next stall where The King was TCB.
The rest, as Larry Craig would say, is history.
I’m a ghetto grandmother, and I take great offense at that comment!
