Brain -> Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 12:26:33 AM)

The idiots on the right are in fine form. They continue to champion the idiot savants of their ideology although I'm not sure they could ever get as bad as G.W. again. Hmm, well, there IS Sarah and Michelle, and Barton, and, well, we could go on forever. Most likely the tea party could come up with some even dumber choices. Well, the TP didn't disappoint, they've already come up with Rand Paul and Sharon Angle.


Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid

What better way to put a face and voice to the increasingly regional, homogenized, sophophobic GOP than to nominate Haley Barbour for president?


What is it about Republican governors? They're either appearing in interviews with a blood-soaked cletus geeking turkeys in the background, or they're lying about hiking the Appalachian Trail, or they're honoring the Confederate States of America while ignoring slavery, or they're entertaining the treasonous option of state secession, or they're bitching about government stimulus money one minute, then posing with giant stimulus checks the next minute.

And now there's Haley Barbour, who said this week about the $20…

Not sure I would call it new, Haley Barbour has been a dumbass for a long long time




DarkSteven -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 5:41:33 AM)

That's actually entirely consistent with the GOP philosophies like "trickle down" and tax cuts - if we give the wealthy people money now, they will magically give us more back later.

Plus the GOP has such a strong stance against the government taxing and taking money away that they overlook that in this case it is justified.

SNIPPED from the article::::::

He's also coined some of the finest "the oil is just like delicious food and therefore harmless" metaphors during the whole disaster.
 
[:(] Damn, I'm from Mississippi.




LadyCimarron -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 6:23:51 AM)


AND IT GETS WORSE!!!!!!

SNIPPED from the article:

Barbour was embarrassed by an aide's nasty remarks about "coons" at campaign rallies. But in reprimanding the aide, he only made things worse. As The New York Times recounted it, Barbour warned the aide that if he "persisted in racist remarks, he would be reincarnated as a watermelon and placed at the mercy of blacks."
 
[:(]Its just sad.......just plain sad.




pahunkboy -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 10:21:40 AM)

I dont care for the guy.




popeye1250 -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 10:31:44 AM)

Brain, "while ignoring slavery?"
You are aware that there hasn't been slavery in the U.S. for 145 years correct?

If you read the article it was in reference to giving a speech regarding the pre-civil war south and when questioned about why he didn't mention slavery Barbour said there was no reason to mention slavery, because it basically had nothing to do with the confederate South.




Louve00 -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 10:44:32 AM)

Ummm, Popeye, I think you may have taken Brain's intent out of context.  The way I read it, this republican governor (I am not sure if he meant ALL republican governors, but I wouldn't agree with the inclusion of ALL of them), but this one is "honoring the confederate states, while ignoring slavery.  The confederate states were on the side of the civil war who wanted to keep slavery.  So honoring them was/is...or putting it in a better way, honoring the confederate flag is a good thing?




Louve00 -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 10:46:34 AM)

Lady Cimarron, you get my point across so much better than I can.  [:)]

I am beginning to think they don't have any up there[8D]




Lucylastic -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 3:43:20 PM)

it would be a very short topic or thread  as the majority of non canadians have no clue whats going on in canada and dont care to look into it, 

How many are aware or care that Canada(specifically Toronto) is hosting the G8 and the  G20 summits this coming week
who cares
???
I could whine about the security issues , the cost, the cops having to deal with all this, the bloody horrid politicians getting millions of dollars spent on them, only to have a meeting and not get anything done. What are they discussing? What difference is it going to make
I can  guess what would come of it.

So you can't ever bring it up because it won't be a long thread? I didn't realize there was a limit.

Well I would hope someone up there cares, but it is pretty obvious that brain doesn't.

What difference does it make when brain brings up thread after thread bashing the US? Do you honestly think anyone cares what he thinks? He doesn't live here and it's none of his business. Are you trying to tell me that he obsesses about the US because he thinks he is going to change something here?[8|]









Moonhead -> RE: Governor Haley Barbour: A New Level of Stupid (6/25/2010 4:02:44 PM)

Why are you whining like a schoolgirl about Brain starting threads discussing American politics if you don't care what he thinks?

I have to admit, you have a good point. I have had foreigners get hard mad at me over my voting decisions and what politician I support when they do not live here, (some have never visited) and it personally effects them in no way. I often wonder why they are so intrigued by American politicians when most Americans neither know nor care what politicians they are have in office.......strange.

My point being, its been tried several times and there was no serious interest.  There is no limit[8|]

Again with ignoring my question just to make the point about Brain..again
Im not trying to tell you anything  about Brain, you seem a lil obsessed yourself
Do you think you are going to get us furrigners to quit posting by calling us out every time we post something you dont like?
