Dem Rep Frederica Wilson: Gen. Kelly Calling Me “Empty Barrel” is “Racist”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Of course it’s racist. Everything is . . .

In his remarks on President Trump’s condolence phone call to the wife of a fallen US soldier, Chief of Staff John Kelly, alluding to Rep. Frederica Wilson, spoke of “a long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise.”

Appearing on CNN this morning, Wilson said:

“I think that’s a racist term, too."

The quote is actually a derivation of Shakespeare’s quote, “T’is true, any empty vessel makes the loudest sound.” from Henry V, Act 4. (which I think he borrowed from Plato) The preceding line is more fitting. “I never did know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart.” That describes the heartless and dishonorable Re. Wilson to a tee.

“WE” looked it up? She needed help? She’d never heard it before but she knows it’s racist...

Not only an empty barrel but an empty head. She didn’t like being dragged into that? Then maybe next time she’ll keep her mouth shut when she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Fat chance! I think this boomeranged on her. It’s about time.

“”They will never un-elect her from Congress.””

It could happen...Remember Cynthia McKinney lost her seat in Congress. The people of her GA district had a moment of sanity and then - WHOOPS - elected Hank Johnson in her place. Well, can’t win them all - but sometimes they do get put out to pasture! Not often enough tho’.

I guess this says everything about the district that elected her.

OMG Wilson is literally as stupid, no wait, maybe eclipses the stupidity of former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga...not only was she stupid, she was bat $hit crazy...But maybe it is a requirement to be a democrat, honestly, I wouldn’t know, I can only judge based upon the behavior I witness.

Some ignorant black racist rodeo clown is too illiterate to even know what his phrase meant much less what “racist” means. To her, a cold bowl of soup is racist.

Keep spewing Frederica, between you, Mad Max, and batpoop crazy Pelosi, it’s great to see you all front and center as the face of the Democrat (not Democratic) party.

I stand corrected. You are right. “Mad Hatter” is indeed a better name for Wilson. Calling her a Rodeo Clown is an insult to those great professionals without whom rodeos might not be possible.

Maybe just referring to her as a congressional representative is insult enough.

Presumably, such a cross-reference would show up in future thesauruses, too, as synonyms.
