Cuccinelli: McAuliffe brought ‘chutzpah from New York’

[Mass]

Really? McAuliffe is not Jewish, but if this is not an attempt to antisemitism, I wonder what that is.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/11/02/cuccinelli-mcauliffe-brought-chutzpah-from-new-york/

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) said Saturday that Terry McAuliffe, his Democratic opponent in the race for governor, “brought plenty of chutzpah from New York” with him when he moved to the commonwealth.

Well, it would not be the first time that antisemitism has been present in a Cooch's rally.

1. I wonder if he pronounced it the way Michelle Bachman did.

"Shoots-pa"?

[spanone]

33. dumber than a thirty-year old stump...

[Aerows]

47. with the sensitivity of a 40,000 year old rock. n/t

[longship]

2. Quite overt. Poisoning the well.

Cuccinelli is nothing short of a despicable bastard with no moral center.

[DavidDvorkin]

3. That's not even a dog whistle

That's an open shout.

[gopiscrap]

4. Cookoo's saying this?

the fucker has barely crawled out of the cave...fuck him!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

5. He could very well be driving his own numbers FURTHER down with shit like this

Way to go, you racist, bigoted, homophobic, woman-hating piece of shit COOCH!

[Beacool]

10. This........

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. chutzpah ( t sp , h t -). n. Utter nerve; effrontery:

chutz·pah also hutz·pah ( t sp , h t -). n. Utter nerve; effrontery: "has the chutzpah to claim a lock on God and morality" (New York Times).

[fried eggs]

14. Thanks. I never heard that term used before

[Laughing Mirror]

7. That old New York Catholic chutzpah must leave quite an imprint

then considering that McAuliffe left New York in 1975 at the age of 18 to attend Catholic University and then Georgetown, and then marriage and the move to Virginia, where he has been ever since.

Perhaps in Cuccinelli's reasoning, if smearing his opponent for being a New Yorker, even though he really isn't, is not enough then why not smear him for being Jewish, even though he is not that either. Makes perfect sense.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

17. It's a two-fer...

and based on some of the rural Virginians I've encountered, "New York" would be considered the actual insult. Cantor is Jewish, and conservatives in the 7th District keep re-electing him.

[frazzled]

18. That's the part that amazed me: the dog-whistle was something of a dog-fart

McAuliffe is neither Jewish nor from New York City (sorry, having been born to a Catholic family way up in Syracuse once upon a time does not remotely qualify you for the "chutzpah" label.)

But I bet this wink-wink slur works on Cuccinelli's base.

[monmouth3]

41. He says it like it's a bad thing....Wha???

[Bandit]

8. So if I ever use a Jewish word in a sentence I am guilty of antisemitism?

I am not jewish but I do use a jewish word now and then, such as Kosher or putz.

[JI7]

11. context matters and in this case it's clearly a dog whistle

[Beacool]

12. Yes, but Cooch meant it as an insult.

Because, you know, all New Yorkers are Jewish. Except that McAuliffe was born in Syracuse, not in NYC. Cuccinelli is not only bigoted, but ignorant too.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. That's because The Cooch is a schmuck. nt

[Beacool]

34. There you go using those Jewish alien words..........

[Mass]

23. With the word New York in the sentence, it is not exactly doubtful what he meant.

You' re not, (I am not either), but in his case, there is little doubt what he meant.

Remember the pilot of the West Wing, where a RW religious nut tells to Josh Lyman that his New York humor is not fine. Josh retorts that he is from CT, but Toby Ziegler tells him she meant Jewish. This is what we have here, but not in a movie, in real life.

[monmouth3]

42. You know what is really insulting? They say these things as if they don't think we get it...Trust

me, we do. Jerks (the non-Jewish version)....

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. No, you're not. English borrows words from other languages and cultures all the time.

"Glitch," for example... http://www.dailywritingtips.com/the-yiddish-handbook-40-words-you-should-know/

Cooch, on the other hand, knew exactly what he was trying to get across.

[Beacool]

9. Wow, just when you thought that the Cooch couldn't get any lower.

He just added anti-semitism to his long list of political sins. What a maroon!!!



BTW, I just looked it up and McAuliffe isn't even Jewish, he's Catholic. Wuahhhahha. Hey Cooch, you're a bigoted dope who deserves to lose.

[spanone]

13. anything dumber than a stupid bigot?

[madinmaryland]

16. Isn't "stupid bigot" an oxymoron. Though cooch is just a

plain Moran.

[KamaAina]

15. No he didn't

he just added to his impressive (?) resume.

[Beacool]

35. Thanks, so it's a RW Tea Bagger thing.

Doesn't surprise me. I wonder how many T.P. folks secretly root for the Klan.

[KamaAina]

37. Secretly?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023975916

[Beacool]

39. I started a similar thread.

In that case the woman was just plain stupid. A "family tradition"???????? Bigoted and dumb is no way to go through life.

[arely staircase]

29. yeah I did too. I assumed he was some sort of Irish or Scottish or Scoth-Irish

Bu then I remembered it is bestowed by your mom.

[Beacool]

36. I guess to the Cooch if you're from NY you are automatically Jewish.

[monmouth3]

43. The "New York Papist" doesn't have the same ring to it I guess....LOL..

[Beacool]

49. Good one!!!

[tularetom]

19. Somebody with a name like "Cuccinelli" shouldn't be making New York slurs

He might be one a them Eyetalian gang fellers.

[geek tragedy]

20. Maybe he can work in a macaca reference too nt

[arely staircase]

31. he still has 24 hours to do it. nt

[name not needed]

21. Read: Jews

[msanthrope]

27. No--The Joos. The big, scary, New York rude kind!!!!! nt

[monmouth3]

44. That was wonderful...Thanks for posting..n/t

[hatrack]

25. "Evil Big Cities with JEEWZZZZZZ" Vs. "Virtuous Rural Real America Populated By Hard-Breeding WASPs"

This shit was already hackneyed back in the early 1900s.

[Beacool]

38. He tried to imply that McAuliffe isn't American enough, only conservatives are real Americans.

Since McAuliffe is not Hispanic, AA, Asian, or any other race than Caucasian, he couldn't smear him by bringing up his race. So he tried to sneak in a Jewish slur, but it backfired because a) Terry is Catholic b) people can add anti-Semitism as another reason not to vote for the bigot.

Cooch still has 24 hrs. left to campaign, let's see what other group he manages to insult before he goes down in flames.

[hatrack]

40. To paraphrase a famous politicial saying for the Kook, er, the Cooch's benefit . . .

"In politics, a day is a long time."

[lostincalifornia]

26. Well cuccinelli brought sexism and racism

[randr]

28. And McAuliffes' chutzpah'

is gonna kick his cracker ass to kingdom come.

[Kurska]

45. "cracker"

really now?

[nyquil_man]

30. He's trying to pin McAuliffe as an outsider.

Desperation tactics.

[Warren DeMontague]

46. Joooooooos!

Jooooos who have oral sex!


Save us!

[IronLionZion]

48. It is not a bigoted dog whistle

I just typed a bunch of anti-Italian slurs here as a joke and then thought better of it. Full disclosure.

Cooch said the same things about Obama. People know McAuliffe is Irish Catholic, and Cooch is Italian Catholic. Do people not realize the Republican candidate for Lt. Gov. is black? This is the state that threw out that racist bastard George Allen for calling an Indian kid "Macaca" and talking about his love for pork chops and ham sandwiches to deny his Jewish ancestry on his mother's side. Jews are way more politically influential than us Indians. Northern VA doesn't tolerate much bigotry.

The demographics of the state have gotten much more diverse and educated over the years. They elected a black governor before and a black president twice. VA is not the confederacy any more. They were the first southern state to divest from apartheid era South Africa. You'd have to be pretty dumb to alienate anyone in this state. Cooch has alienated women which is what will lose him the election.

And yes, I like calling him cooch.
