"We didn't whine"

[sandnsea]

Honestly, I just want to rip the hairs out of their eyelids when I hear this shit.

Well no fuckhead, you didn't whine because you weren't LEFT TO DROWN!!!

The fucking arrogance, the audacity.. I hate them. :grr:

1. Yeah, what a fu--head!

Whoever you're talking about.

2. It was Lott, that racist asshole with no heart

He basically implied that, "We're not whiners like those lazy Negroes in New Orleans"

[sandnsea]

6. He was the worst and definitely set me off

But I've heard it in varying forms for the last couple of days.

3. Repukes whined for the 8 years of the Clinton administration

4. context, please? I can guess, just want to make certain.

5. Sorry - I don't usually do this

But the meme seems to be that Mississippi is doing so well because "they didn't whine" and they "got to work and helped each other" instead of "depending on the government" - and it's been coming from a lot more places than just Trent Lott lately. Makes me just want to inflict some short term agony on somebody.

7. I've read of people here talking about what a jackass Glen Beck is,

but I saw it firsthand tonight. He was using the 'whining' talking points. Horrible person. :grr:

8. Rockey Vaccarella

got the same memo from Rove and Mehlman, apparently:
http://thinkprogress.org/?tag=Katrina

"Today on Fox, Rocky said that victims of the Hurricane should stop “sitting around and complaining” about the Bush administration and instead “be thankful for what we got.”

9. Yep, like they did in Mississippi

doncha know. Just :grr:
