Will "dummy" prove more damaging than "bigot" to missus clinton? Read the letters/HEAR Gandhi "joke"

Will "dummy" prove more damaging than "bigot" to missus clinton?

So Hillary Clinton thinks that Gandhi "ran a gas station down in St. Louis" ("Hill: Sorry About That Ethnic Joke," Jan. 7)? What kind of nonsense is this?

It is a shame to see this coming from a Democratic senator from New York, arguably the most accepting, multicultural state in the country.

I still don't get it. Where's the "racism" in that remark? I don't see anything either amusing or offensive in the comment. Can someone explain to me what the issue is? Because I don't see it. What am I missing?

[Hildy]

The dangerous demagogue, realizing that he's finished, blows himself away... a perfect ending....

That's not how I remember THE DEAD ZONE ending. When Sheen realizes someone is firing at him, he takes a baby and puts it in front of him. A photographer takes that photo and it is on the cover of every major magazine...this guy would put a baby in front of himself to protect himself from being shot and that's what ends his career.

But Ghandi was a "white male". How can there be anything "racist" in what the Hildabeast said?

At worst we are faced with a Romany joking about a Brahmin, and that's just class consciousness, not racism.

I really do wish you critics could keep these things straight!

[tet68]

class consciousness, not racism.

Ah, but classism is against the law too, there's a war on it don'ch know?

[muawiyah]

May be a war on it but it's not against the law. Otherwise Tom Daschle wouldn't be able to speak in public.

[Mia T]

It wasn't funny.

As for its offensiveness and harmfulness, Gandhi's grandson disagrees with you.

Did you play the flash movies? Her ethnic stereotyping in public, in front of cameras and the press and about Gandhi, no less, was truly moronic; if you play the movie, you will see that after her initial ignorant comment, she actually continues to expand on it. This unreal obtuseness suggests a deeply ingrained bigotry.

If you play my Gandhi and ethnic slurs movies, you will see that my point really isn't the substance of the "joke" per se. Rather, it is to disabuse my fellow Jews and others of the absurd notion that, (notwithstanding all the evidence to the contrary), hillary clinton couldn't have said "f---ing Jew bastard" because, as her co-rapist husband had claimed, "hillary can't even tell a joke with an ethnic connotation."

[Zipporah]

What is really hilarious about this, is that in India they think Hillary is WONDERFUL.. believe it or not! I wonder if their viewpoint has changed due to this snafu on Hitlery's part? (IF they've even heard about it.. )

[Mia T]

The photo of him and the using a baby to shield himself are the vehicles by which his self-serving demagoguery and megalomania are revealed.

That photo makes the covers, he knows he is thru, and he blows himself away.

THIS LETTER I FOUND UNINTENTIONALLY HILLARY-OUS:

Hillary Clinton's recent racist joke about Gandhi working at a gas station in St. Louis was an insult not only to Gandhi's legacy, but also to the thousands of Indian Americans who voted for her in the last election.

If Mrs. Clinton thinks that her racist slur will be forgiven, she is surely mistaken. All of my friends at the gas station are furious.

On the contrary, I suspect the writer's final line was quite intentionally sardonic.

[Hildy]

You're right...now that I think about it, that is the last scene, isn't it? He takes a gun out. I apologize. I love that movie!

[185JHP]

Evil people always - without exception - make mistakes. Even satan isn't perfect - just completely evil.

[Wil H]

Ha ha Ha, it was a f*cking joke., not a particurlarly funny one, but a joke none the less.

Godfdam liberals are soooo bloody sensitive it makes me puke.


There are a thousand reasons to incarcerate the witch, but this aint one of them.

[Brian Allen]

The co-serial-rapist, Mrs Cli'ton, is surely shaping to be 2008's former governor of a backwoods north-eastern state.

"She might have called him a bastard. I wouldn't rule that out. She's never claimed that she was pure on profanity. But I've never heard her tell a joke with an ethnic connotation. She's so fanatic about it. She can't tell an ethnic joke. It's not in her."

hile the creature's ethnic "joke" reveals the flabbergasting (to her toadies, anyway) depths of her stupidity and bigotry -- one needs a good amount of both to so mindlessly stereotype Gandhi in front of the press and cameras -- more damaging to clinton mythology is that hillary clinton's ethnic joke exposes as a lie the clintons' denial of hillary's "f--king Jew bastard" slur.

This greater significance of hillary clinton's Gandhi joke is made in the first of the following two movies.
