Deeds doesn’t have a stuttering handicap, he simply stammers when he doesn’t know the “right” answer to give to a question.
She was not “hired”. She’s a supporter and a donor.
I’ve met her.... shes a good person and I respect her.
The hatred sure is coming out.
What a low class POS scumbag this woman is. Classless, mannerless; a real loser.
They all issue fake apologies after the dirty deed has been done.
I heard that about Sotomayor too. If they are so nice; why do they do the things they do?
Personally, I don’t understand why people feel the need to mock the opposition personally at these fundraisers.
Of course, I think the whole childish name-calling contributes to the failure to have constructive dialog about real issues, but childish namecalling has become the standard for political discourse.
In this election, for example, we have “Taliban Bob” for Bob McDonnell, and “Dirty Deeds” for Creigh Deeds.
The talk show hosts are always making up derogatory names for the politicians they don’t like; occassionally the names are not really derogatory, but explanatory of the person’s actions, and I don’t really fault those names (like if you called a politician who raises taxes all the time “The Taxman”.).
But mostly it’s snide comments about the person’s looks, especially if they are fat or ugly.
But it seems that the namecalling and other pranks randomly come back to bite us, especially on the conservative side — because whenever they want, the media can suddenly take notice of namecalling, call it childish, make it sound like we are the only ones doing it, and take a few percentage points off our lead.
“Macaca” in the end was simply an attack about childish namecalling taken to the extreme, but it cost an election. Also locally, a joke about Osama Bin Laden and Obama made by our RPV head, (the joke was praised here) became a major attack against John McCain, and who knows how many independents may have been swayed by it.
The left calls our side names all the time. I can guarantee that the term “Taliban Bob” has been used by volunteers for Creigh Deeds, but even if we had a video of it, and complained, the media would ignore it, or instead spin the story as our side “whining” about it — and would probably also EXPLAIN exactly where the name came from, in a way that would be detrimental to our candidate.
There is absolutely no excuse for what this woman said.
I don’t care what she may have accomplished in her lifetime. She blew it with that one remark.
Oh sure, she will issue a fake apology; but she will have to live the rest of her days knowing that she and the world know what a low class skank she really is.
