subrosaDom -> Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/23/2014 10:46:25 PM)

Speaking to the Las Vegas Asian Chamber of Commerce, non-racist Harry Reid (because he is a Democrat, and Democrats can't be racist, only right-wing, troglodyte or Tea Party Republicans with WASP surnames like Ted Cruz (/sarc) can):

"The Asian population is so productive," Reid told the group. "I don't think you're smarter than anybody else, but you've convinced a lot of us you are."

He added after his remarks that he has problems "keeping my Wongs straight."

It's telling that none of your opinions on this are based in reality.

The Democrats have a decades long history of racism. This is new to you? It's how they lost the south, passing Civil Rights legislation.

Then several of those racists became Republicans.

Despite what your talking heads feed you -- life in America isn't about Democrat vs. Republican.

Certainly not, when the offending party is a Democrat...

You've been sucking too much Sanity cock.

It's not hard to find stupid shit said by members of either major party. Or racist shit.

Or people trying to pretend that's partisan.

yep thats for sure, there was a humdinger at the end of last mongth

In an intensely awkward congressional hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, freshman Rep. Curt Clawson misidentified two senior U.S. government officials as representatives of the Indian government.
The two officials, Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar, are Americans who hold senior positions at the State Department and Commerce Department, respectively. Although both Biswal and Kumar were introduced as U.S. officials by the chairman of the Asia and Pacific subcommittee, Clawson repeatedly asked them questions about "your country" and "your government," in reference to the state of India.
"I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," the Florida Republican said. "Anything I can do to make the relationship with India better, I'm willing and enthusiastic about doing so."
Apparently confused by their Indian surnames and skin color, Clawson also asked if "their" government could loosen restrictions on U.S. capital investments in India.
"Just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there," he said. "I ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?"
The question prompted a lengthy pause and looks of confusion from State Department and congressional staff attending the hearing.
"I think your question is to the Indian government," Biswal said. "We certainly share your sentiment, and we certainly will advocate that on behalf of the U.S."

That's right Tina Fey on SNL while doing a skit about Palin says "I can see Russia from my front porch" and we it is quoted forever as something Palin but Obama claims to have visited 56 of the 57 states and it is no big deal.
Absolutely no difference in the way misstatements are handled.

A blast from the past -

quote:

WASHINGTON Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid apologized on Saturday for saying the race of Barack Obama whom he described as a "light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" would help rather than hurt his eventual presidential bid.


But thats okay too, he is a big time Democrat

HORRORS!!!

HE is no Democrat. Recall him!!! Notify Homeland Security!!! Have the IRS check his past filings for errors and omissions.

Someone get me Eric Holder on the phone. Call in the New York Times.

WE NEED JUSTICE OVER HERE, PEOPLE!!!



Musicmystery -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 7:57:17 AM)

No, recalling people when you lose the election is a Republican play.



TheHeretic -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 8:05:21 AM)

I must have struck a nerve there, Muse. Does it sting when I note that you only seem to point out everybody does it, when it's a Democrat caught doing it, or is it more of a burning sensation?

Only the nerve that makes my eyes roll and triggers the yawn response.

Every thread is automatically about me, now - before I even post! [:D]

I'm not inside your head though... [;)]

Seriously, here's a clue for you. I am not the one who has driven you mad, its the people whose asses you lick

Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi... Joe Biden

And the organizations. The DNC, MSNBC, PBS, the New York Times... the IRS

After a while, the very best you can do to try to defend your "precious precious" lowlife scum buckets, is attack the messenger, isn't it

No matter how desperately you need it though, this forum isn't all about me

And your trying to force it so only shows how far your mental illness has progressed



Musicmystery -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 8:21:11 AM)

Once again, you have nothing to say unless you make up my positions for me.

The fantasy battle in your head, with a phantom nemesis.

It must so suck to be you.

That might make sense if it were me trolling around behind you, rather than vise-versa

But since you are the one obsessing over me... No.

You are projecting again.



Musicmystery -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 8:52:13 AM)

If you think of anything substantive to share, that'd be great.

The difference is that your partisan divide is your signature trait, and I nailed it.

You, on the other hand, have to keep pretending I fit into your left/right model, and you are unable to address anything outside of your myopia.

So you turn to playground taunts and pretend the rest of the board is doing it instead.

Textbook really.

There is no need to pretend, Muse, no matter what little lies you tell yourself. You fit right into the mold. When was the last time you were the first responder on a thread from a lefty or lefty cheerleader to denounce their broad-brush attack on the right, announcing that Democrats are just as guilty?

Get off that white horse, dude. You're getting it all dirty.



Musicmystery -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 9:57:10 AM)

Naw....get off your fallacy machine.

I'm not the board police. Failure to denounce dumb shit doesn't mean agreement with it, whatever ridiculous "rules" you invent.

Hell, denouncing dumb shit here would be a full time gig.




dcnovice -> RE: Harry Reid Tells Asians He Can't Keep His Wongs Straight (8/24/2014 10:13:49 AM)

FR

I can sort of see the "productive"/"smarter" comment as an ill-thought-out compliment that went awry. That happens to me sometimes.

But the "Wongs" comment? That's simply bizarre.

Now, if he'd said he couldn't keep his bongs straight . . .

Neither am I, and that makes for a lot of lucky bastards and bitches around these parts. [8D]

Well, that's one of those rules best taken in moderation, Muse. Sometimes, stepping in with a, "now hold on a minute," comment to bigotry is going to be the natural response of an enlightened human being of any stripe. At least once in a while.
