Most of these big corporations are headed by liberal CEO’s, or maybe by a couple of more conservative CEO’s that are afraid of Obama’s thugs, so they will take down a liberal woman in order that the taint of her being a racist for remarks she made 30 years ago won’t rub off on their business.
Paula Deen is also a target as she looks and speaks like an old fashioned, folksy southern cracker type. That blond poofy hair, those bright blue eyes, that southern drawl. With a brother nicknamed Bubba. She reeks of southern wasp, must be prejudiced, must be taken down. And all the liberal jerks are getting off on it. Maybe Paula Deen better sit down and figure out who her friends really are, and it ain’t the liberal Dems. They have hung her out to dry:
I think it’s a combination. If her ratings were sky-high, I don’t think the food network would have dropped her so precipitously. But you are correct. She represents the old ‘50’s and ‘60s South, and the lib’s in the industry are getting their r—cks off by torturing her publicly, something they do so well.
I think she’s handled it miserably. I would have taken my millions, told them where to put it (especially that ABC creep, Matt whathisname) , and gone off to enjoy the good life with the people who really count: my family. She’s out of control and repeatedly giving the lib’s exactly what they hoped for: an emotional breakdown followed by the obscene spectacle of weepy groveling at their feet.
In her heyday, she taped an entire show at Jimmy Carter’s house. At one point, I thought she was going to climb into his lap and lick him like an all-day sucker. It was an embarrassing display of “hero” worship. While Carter’s wife looked on, they went into his kitchen and whipped up a favorite dish or two. Ick. Yes, I have a cast-iron stomach.
I doubt she’s truly political, and probably blows where the wind blows. But it must be excruciatingly painful to watch liberal “friends” in an industry where there are so many, turn away; especially over something so completely asinine.
