Some Real Jackassery From the Duck Dynasty Guy

From the same interview.  I find this far worse than his comments about gays:

"The blacks worked for the farmers... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' — not a word!"  Robertson continued, "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues."

No, you son of a bitch, you never heard of a black person singing the blues.  No, never.  Blues?  That's got nothing to do with rural black people.



Why, who ever heard of a black person singing the blues?  


I guess the blues is white people's music, just like Jesus is white.


Man, this pissed me off.  I'm ready to string the guy up now.

Yep, no black people ever expressed any discontent in front of him. Wonder why that was.

He may have really blown it now. It would be just possible to bounce back from the anti-gay stuff, but this "blacks were happier under Jim Crow" crap is a step too far.

I suspect duck guy audience will increase, this is a money maker for all associated with the show and for any politician who will ditto this shit.

I don't think Phil's career is necessarily over. If I were making a Roman flick, I would cast him as a Gothic chieftain.

Maybe he could star in "ZZ Top- the later years"

Pics I've seen of the Duck Dynasty guys remind me more of Iranian ayatollahs. Same beards, same scowl, same religious rigidity. ZZ Top may be had weird beards, but they looked like fun guys.

I met Billy Gibbons of ZZ top. He had a house next to my sister's in Castle Valley, Utah. And, yeah, he is a fun guy.

Statement from the family says that their abiding faith in God and the outpouring of support from millions of fans is bolstering them through this difficult time. Walmart is selling big pillows with the bearded faces of these guys printed on them. I swear I saw it.

Infidel753 is correct, this will make more money for Phil. Just as with Chick-Fil-A, there is a hard core of right-wing bigots who are aching to publicly display their intolerance.

And Republican stars are falling all over themselves to defend him.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
