Whomever the Democratics nominate this time, it will be a first: It will NOT be a white male (unless you count Barry as half-white or Hillary as ha--uh, let's not go there). Identity Politics has driven the Democrat race. Guilt-wracked whites, wanting to appear enlightened, have supported the clean and articulate Magic Negro. They were joined finally by blacks, when Bill's dismissive South Carolina comments made them decide Barack was black enough. Meanwhile, old feminist teacher-union types have been supporting Hillary!.
But Identity Politics will not be enough to win in November. In order to succeed, the Dem candidate will HAVE TO attract some degree of the white male vote. So now, on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, the Keystone State becomes a test case. Will Barry's recent gaffes hurt him with Typical White Persons? Will Operation Chaos crossover voters help Hillary? Which of the two can woo the Pennsylvania Democrats who, to quote an MSNBC description, are "Hunters, Bowlers, Beer Drinkers, and Gun Owners"?
But before we continue, let us first thank Barry for his commments about small-town folk being "bitter" and "clinging to guns and religion." This was a master stroke, Barry, to ensure that Operation Chaos will continue! And even if you get the nomination, this will haunt you in the general election! So here is my brand-new musical tribute, "My Bitter Town." Click the tune and sing along!
MY BITTER TOWN
Tune: "My Little Town" Original
In my little town
We grow up by clingin'
To God and the gun on the wall
And we welcome strangers warmly
If they bear a likeness to us all
Angry and small
My bitter town
Comin' home from the Klan
Burnin' a cross on the lawns
Of the immigrants
Our town holdin' a rally
Wearin' our sheets
With the pointy hats
We take off our robes
For the square dance
And none of the dancers are black
It's not that the dancers aren't square
It's just a pigmentation we lack
Everyone's a redneck
In my bitter town
Nothin' but some av'rage whites
Here in my bitter town
Nothin' but some av'rage whites
Here in my bitter town
In my bitter town
I never vote Democrat
I'm just a Republican
Drivin' my pick-up
Pickin' a brick up
Typical right-winger
See me clingin' to my gun
Seein' nothin' but some av'rage whites
Here in my bitter town
Nothin' but some av'rage whites
Here in my bitter town
Nothin' but some av'rage whites
Here in my bitter town . . .
Who can win these bitter whites? Lefty writer Nora Ephron ("When Harry Met Sally," "Silkwood," "Sleepless in Seattle") takes up this question in her HUffPo THREAD, "White Men." In less than 24 hours, Nora's diary has elicited literally a THOUSAND comments from the HUffies! This is way more than I can read, and there's enough here just with Nora! Nora! Nora!
So let us now proceed with her White-Men bashing, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your guest correspondent, longtime white male Charles Henrickson, wondering if Li'l Beaver will be allowed to vote in Beaver Falls, is in the [Barackets]:
it's suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race.
[Thank you, Comrade Obvious.]
This is an election about whether the people of Pennsylvania hate blacks more than they hate women.
[It's about whether DEMOCRATS hate blacks or women more. All the HillAryans are racists, and all the Obambats are sexists!]
And when I say people, I don't mean people, I mean white men.
[Oh, I forgot: Only WHITE MEN can be racist or sexist! And apparently, white men do not qualify as "people."]
To put it bluntly, the next president will be elected by them. . . .
[To put it more bluntly: President McCain.]
the outcome of Tuesday's primary will depend on whether they go for Hillary or Obama. . . .
[Tough choice. When was the last time a white man went for Hillary? Or to put it another way, how old is Chelsea?]
white men cannot be relied on, as all of us know who have spent a lifetime dating them.
[When was the last time a white man went for you, Nora?]
As for the Democratic hope that McCain's temper will be a problem, don't bet on it. A lot of white men have terrible tempers, and what's more, they think it's normal.
[SHUT YOUR FREAKIN' MOUTH!!!]
If Hillary pulls it out in Pennsylvania, and she could, and if she follows it up in Indiana, she can make a credible case that she deserves to be the candidate. . . .
[WHEEEEEEE!!!!!! Isn't Operation Chaos FUn?!]
these last primaries will show which of the two Democratic candidates is better at overcoming the bias of a vast chunk of the population. . . .
[How do you figure, Nora? If they vote for Hillary, they're racist. If they vote for Barry, they're sexist. They're biased either way!]
Hillary's case is not an attractive one. . . .
[Her "case"? Is that short for "pantsuit-face-voice-and-body"?]
what she'll essentially be saying . . . is that she can attract more racist white male voters than Obama can.
[All your racist white male base are belong to us!]
Hillary is the true whack-a-mole. . . .
[She takes a licking and keeps on ticking!]
if she survives on Tuesday, it will be a whole new ballgame. And it will be all because of white men.
[WOO-HOO! White men rule!!]
Thanks for update
He ripped Dora a new one about this.
Nora the Deplorer.
There's a "Huma" joke here somewhere...
I see you've got a sense of Huma.
IRON MY SHIRT!
Here, take this box, throw all your shoes into it. I'll take them to the Salvation Army Resale shop tomorrow on my way to the bar.
Lil' Tony is already three months old, so it's time to put another bun in the oven. Go get on the bed. I'll be in in just as soon as I finish this beer.
And the lawn needs mowing. Get on that as soon as we're done in the bedroom. After you get me another beer.
At least they are honest about what drives them to act: HATE!
[SHUT YOUR FREAKIN' MOUTH!!!]
Classic!
Benburch is very, very sad!
[She takes a licking and keeps on ticking!]
Benburch takes a back to Huma?
