Kick & Rec. if you think Harriet Christian needs to be made famous for racist comments

[wndycty]

As someone noticed this morning Harriet Christian is getting airtime today but they are not playing her racist comments. Who is is with me, this lady needs to be made famous and we need to make sure she gets 2 million hits on YouTube. Please forward this video far and wide and please keep this thread kicked.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KACQuZVAE3s

Had an Obama supporter said something as offensive we know which clips would be getting heaving airtime.

[izzybeans]

1. You know I watched Recount last night and during the credits I thought I saw a picture of her

protesting in Florida 2000. But it was probably just someone who resembles her. Not sure if this person was protesting for Gore or Bush from the pic. But I paused it several times because the similarity was striking (at least at 10:30 at night)

[newmajority]

22. If it was her, she would have been protesting for Chimp

That woman is not now, nor has she ever been a Democrat.

[tblue37]

31. I read that she has donated $200 to HRC's campaign.

I think people don't give $200 to opposition candidates.

[Barack_America]

50. Not necessarily true.

If you can afford to live in Manhattan, as she claims to, you probably can.

Hell, I'd try hard to come up with $200 to support the Ron Paul convention mayhem, and, well, I can't afford to live in Manhattan.

[KSinTX]

63. Many give to multiple candidates. Called hedging their bets. nt

[Eurobabe]

2. She reminds me of that nasty old cartoon character, Maxine

[reflection]

6. HA!

Love it! :D

[meow mix]

3. K&R

[shomino]

4. If an Obama supporter had acted like this

The response from the Clinton camp would be explosive.

[JBoy]

11. Yes, there would be nonstop demands for Obama to reject and denounce.

[ellacott]

5. K&R

There definately is a double standard.

[FatDave]

7. It will be interesting to se what KO does with it. (nt)

[libnnc]

8. it was a shameful display

:kick:

[Enrique]

9. put the torches and pitchforks away

she's already famous by way of YouTube.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

58. A person so deluded and angry should be watched.

seriously. Becoming famous is bad enough for your normal person. WInning the lottery, saving a life, - all that stuff can change (badly) someone's life. Even worse is notoriety - as in Christian's case. The adverse PR, the press microscope, the calls from friends and family, the crush of all that attention - it can be deadly.

She is slightly off to start with. Being put in the spotlight with her mind set? she really needs family to keep an eye on her.

13. Um, you've just insulted my daughter, my husband and myself.

All 3 of us voted for Hillary in our primaries. Plus, you've insulted plenty of my prochoice friends who work in the nonprofit community here in New Haven.

What is the matter with you?

[Chulanowa]

14. Are you all still clinging to that sinking ship?

How many of you will vote McCain (or not vote - same difference, really) because Clinton isn't getting "her turn"?

[CTyankee]

19. Oh, good lord. You are really in another world, aren't you?

We are all good Democrats and of course will vote for Obama in the GE. Hell, I'll probably volunteer for him the way I did for Ned Lamont in 06. I don't know a single supporter of Hillary back in the primary who wouldn't vote Democratic in this election. Not a single one. It would be unthinkable!

That is why you owe me and the others an apology.

[Chulanowa]

23. No, I'm afraid I don't.

So long as you support Clinton, you also support her tactics. Clinton's tactics since super Tuesday have been nothing but poo-flinging. Am I really supposed to apologize to you for slapping all Clinton supporters, when by giving her that support, you are endorsing her campaign's attempt at the Michelle Obama "whitey" tape? The circus of Pastorgate? The insinuations that Obama is a Muslim at the same time he's a black supremacist Christian? The repeated statements from the Clinton campaign that whites and latinos will never vote for a black man? The endorsement of John McCain? To say nothing of the constant dismissal of the votes of everyone in every state that didn't flush for Clinton when tallying up popular and delegate votes?

All that's left for the Clinton campaign is to join McCain in calling Obama the Hamas presidential candidate, and calling voters with news that Obama has a black child.

These are the tactics of Hillary Clinton, the candidate you support. They are the underhanded tactics of a person who has realized she is incapable of winning on her own merit and instead relies on either winning by undermining the merit of her competitor, or having neither Democrat win and trying again in 2012.

Your continued support and funding for this is why I don't owe you squat for an apology. You might not be as batshit fuckballs crazy as some Clinton Supporters, but for all your platitudes of how you'll go for Obama in the GE, you're still doing your part to make sure that he'll get there as weak and disparaged as possible, to the detriment of our party as a whole. I said the same damn thing to those people who were squawking about putting Gore in the race after half the primaries had been held, i said the same to the goofies who were absolutely convinced Gravel wasn't done yet, and now I'm saying it to you. Put the kool-aid down, help support our nominee today and what the hell... try again in 2012.

After all, if Obama sucks as violently and majestically as every Clinton Supporter seems to think he does, Hillary will have no problem getting that nomination in '12.

[CTyankee]

28. My god, you are nuts! I have supported NONE of what you suggested!

Your allegations are outrageous. My husband, my daughter and I voted for Hillary on Super Tuesday, early Feb. I have not contributed to her campaign since then. Since the campaign was over in CT I did no campaign work for her AT ALL since then (I didn't even do anything before then). No one in my family has engaged in ANY kind of disparagement of Obama. I admire him and will gladly vote for him and work for him, just as I did for Ned Lamont in 06. You have no right to slander us in this fashion!

What the hell are you talking about? Do you have ANY idea of whom you are talking to? We are voters in Connecticut, for chrissakes! New Haven, to be specific, which is about as liberal as you can get, home of Yale for god's sake! My daughter lives in a suburb of Boston, another bastion of left of center politics.

You really need to get an education about New England voters before you spout off. My husband and I and my daughter have long planned to vote for Obama in the GE if he is the nominee. It would be totally unthinkable for us not to. We are lifelong Democrats.

Hell, yes, you owe us an apology! Stop posturing and admit you just don't have the facts about us.

[Chulanowa]

42. Do you continue to support Hillary now, or not?

As in, are you still seeking her nomination over the guy who's actually winning? You weren't exactly clear. If you do, then yeah, I'm afraid you're supporting the slime trail she leaves behind as well.

Forgive my bluntness, though. I'm afraid I'm bludgeoning you with my annoyance towards a large number of the pro-Hillary folks I've seen running around lately. Kinda tired of holding it all in in the face of the constant bullshit.

[spoony]

41. Yes, you do.

You made an incredibly stupid comment smearing many good Dems. Then you tried to smear someone who called you on it. That effort was met with a reasoned response which left you looking even worse, and now you try to justify it all with a clunking, awkward post full of meandering qualifiers to recycled insults. It's really been cringe-worthy.

You went down the wrong road and were rightly called on it. Just man up and apologise and move on.

[Chulanowa]

44. I think we have vastly different concepts of what a "good dem" is.

I wonder if you said the same of the Lieberman supporters.

When I see a loony screaming that they'd rather vote for McCain instead of an "inadequate black man" - a sentiment I have seen way too often even here on DU - I'm not going to think "Gosh, what a good democrat!" As I mentioned to CTyankee in my previous post... I'm just fed up with the crazy shit from Hillary supporters. So yes, I am pretty much just swinging my club around at whatever faces are in that crowd.

I'll get over it, and so will you.

[spoony]

45. Except the person and their family you were insulting will vote Dem

Along with most Clinton supporters. They are not your enemies, so you might want to watch your "club" as to avoid such ugly displays.

[AlbertCat]

68. Except the person and their family you were insulting will vote Dem

Then that's not the people he's talking about. What about "will vote for McCain or stay at home" do you not understand. This whole thread is bogus. No one seems to have read what was written and who it is about.

So...ARE you still supporting Hillary....and why?

[eagertolearn]

69. Okay I can't stay out of this. You are being a real jerk!

I almost think your a GOP plant by the way you are being so unressonable. You must of missed the blog yesterday of there beign Clinton supporters and "supporters". It helped me to realize that not all the people who back Clinton believe in everything that she has been doing. Yes there are some crazy ones who will like the one in the video who are voting for Clinton out of hate and dispise over Obama (which has to be racist because I still haven't seen anyone list the things that Obama has done wrong) and there are the people that like Hillary for who she was in the beginning until the politics took over who are willing to vote for Obama. So let it be and stop putting everyone in the same classification. It's time to unify and get our party back together (this doesn't mean that i haven't been mad at everything but it is time to move on!)

[Chulanowa]

70. It was time to unify months ago

Now it's just ime for me to finally shake my cane and vent like a raving madman at all the bullshit... Now that it's almost over. Ah well.

[ekwhite]

62. Dude, you are looking as bad as the Hillary trolls right now

Learn to differentiate between trolls and the average Clinton supporter. There has been a lot of nastiness coming from the Clinton campaign, but not every Clinton supporter is evil and nasty, mmmkay?

[Skittles]

47. give it up, CT

that poster is one deluded SOB

[CTyankee]

59. Thanks, Skittles. I have given it up. No use arguing with a brick wall.

What is most disturbing to me is how that poster seems to have been driven over the edge. I am wondering if the creation of GDP was a good idea. It seemed to become something of a cesspool, breeding all kinds of ill will far in excess of the boundaries of civil political discussion.

I have to laugh, after being called all kinds of things by my husband's right wing brother in law, now comes this! Wow! From loony left to Hillbot. My head is spinning...

[TahitiNut]

36. She's the poster girl for Hillbotism. Here's the poster ...

[Skittles]

46. you are absolutely DISGUSTING n/t

[ekwhite]

61. She is NOT a typical Clinton supporter

She is one of the few hundred Clinton fanatics that showed up to disrupt the RBC meeting. There were millions of Democratic voters that voted for Hillary Clinton - some because of loyalty to the Clintons, some because she is a "name brand" politician, some because they believe her policy stances are better. You do a disservice to 45% of the Democratic party by saying that the typical Clinton supporter is like Harriet Christian.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. My question to Harriet: Is Obama an "inadequate black man" because

he's only one-half black? What does an "adequate black man" look like?

[LoZoccolo]

15. Kick & rec. n/t

[Hugabear]

16. Someone sounds pretty bitter

I wonder if she's one of the idiots posting over at hillaryclintonforum.com?

[beac]

35. Nah, she strikes me as one who thinks the internet is "a series of tubes."

;)

[Divine Discontent]

17. she's the 10% of society that we need to make sure the 40% or so, who don't vote

come out and vote AGAINST.

She was painful, and arrogant, and blasphemous, and said if it's not her way - then it's McCain. I'd tell her, "yeah, you're a Democrat... no, you're a backer of Clinton because she's from your state and you're a racist who lost all ability to sound as someone who deserves to be heard when you said he's an inadequate black male who's only running because white female is running".


I hope she finds the missing meds she had to be looking for earlier in the day...

[wndycty]

18. Yup

:kick:

[tblue37]

32. I suspect she has already had her "meds." Probably

several times, in a glass, at lunch.

[FredScuttle]

20. She's a big girl....she knew what she was getting herself into

She even said "I'm not keeping my mouth shut anymore!!!"

Far be it from us to prevent the nation and the world from seeing how a loud and proud Hillary supporter acts when things don't go her way.

[wndycty]

21. Exactly but the press that uses the clip censors the racist rant.

:kick:

[sundancekid]

24. unhinged - and the M$M will not call her on it - talk about an "exit poll"

[AngryAmish]

25. No matter who you support, one has to admire her quiet dignity

[rucky]

26. Hari Krishnas are gentle, peace-loving people.

And they're already famous for hanging out in airports and an excellent recipe for curried lentils.

I don't know where you got the racist thing.

[northernsoul]

27. I pity the dozens of cats that undoubtedly inhabit her apartment

[AtomicKitten]

29. She and Geraldine Ferraro were separated at birth

apparently

[City Lights]

30. K&R nt

[JustinL]

33. 989,947 views

[orleans]

34. ugh. n/t

[TheWraith]

37. It's sad when people humiliate themselves publicly.

Even more so when it's on so large a stage. It lacks class.

[McCamy Taylor]

38. Are you kidding? There are way too many people who will cheer her on.

You are playing right into the hands of the RNC.

[gmudem]

39. 2nd class citizen?

They give out gold necklaces to 2nd class citizens? This woman is 100% crazy.

[nebula]

40. She looks familiar

[DeeDeeNY]

43. The first time seeing the the video,

my hubby insisted it had to be an actress doing performance art, that this couldn't be for real! It really is difficult to believe that someone calling themselves a Democrat could be so obnoxiously racist and ignorant.

[davidpdx]

48. I hear Fixed Noise need some new "analysts"

Maybe they'll give her a job over there.

[stlsaxman]

49. yup

[urgk]

51. Nope.

Shes just sad and lonely and wrong. We should be bigger than that.

Point out her ignorance, then leave her alone.

[katerinasmommy]

54. We actually have no idea if she's sad and lonely

Maybe she's just a hateful racist bitch

[Independent-Voter]

52. She's the typical Hillary fan - no surprises about how she acted

[OwnedByFerrets]

53. How about she be made "infamous" instead?..nt

[GoesTo11]

55. No way. Need to cool things down.

What would be the point of keeping her in public view? To keep the Democratic party divided? To mock the Clinton campaign right as it is finally reconciling with the rest of the party?

It's gratifying in a Schadenfreude way to see this woman self-destruct, but it's not worth it. Given the how the system works, that could only help the Republicans.

[madmom]

56. It's really offensive to the many Clinton supporters who said they would

vote Obama in the GE to be lumped into the group who act like this. I think the Obama supporters would be upset if the rolls where reversed.Look what happened when people called them and Obama out on gay views of what ever the guys name was (I can't recall right now) see how unimportant it was? Just because there are a few like that doesn't mean they all are and indeed an apology is in order!

[ExPatLeftist]

57. She was interviewed on Faux News last night

And they did show the racist bits of her blowup, but I couldn't believe how softball the interview was - downright sympathetic. Even ended on a half-whispered, "thank you for joining us" as if to say, "You poor mistreated baby". She was not taken to task for racism and pretty much got the kid gloves "one of us" treatment rather than the crazy-ass nutjob treatment.

[ekwhite]

64. Well, if she is a crazy-ass nutjob

She IS one of them!

[ekwhite]

60. Why are they giving that crazy person air time?

She came across as a totally vile person, and now she is a media celebrity? What a country.

[CTyankee]

65. I was wondering the same thing. Why would Fox News WANT her support of McCain?

It makes him look worse. People could look at her and wonder what kind of weirdos is McCain getting on his side?

Something is wrong with this picture...

[George II]

66. I'm not, regardless of how bad she may be...

Isn't it time to start worrying about John McCain?

[ElboRuum]

67. So what's she REEEAAALLLY saying here?

"I'm off my meds."
