Westmoreland calls Obama ‘uppity'

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

[skooooo]

1. Obama has every right to be "uppity," jackass! nt

[nc4bo]

No asshat, a 300 THOUSAND DOLLAR rag is UPPITY. geezus. nt

[Marnieworld]

9. It was her earrings not the dress

The dress was only $3000. She wore a mortgage on her ears (if they were real). But it's the Obams who are elitists.:eyes:

[blondeatlast]

Reported by Vanity Fair; they would most certainly know.

I'm certain they were real; can you imagine the scandal if Mrs. McCain attended the ball with fake diamonds? The HORROR!

[Marnieworld]

18. It's madness that they get away with calling the Obamas elitist

Even at the Oscars people are borrowing jewlery.

[nc4bo]

21. my bad. Still 300k in rocks is still uppity. nt

[Marnieworld]

22. Very very uppity

She only missed the matching Tiara.

[nc4bo]

26. I guess they forgot all about the 50-11 homes they own, right? dammit, I hate them. nt

[oviedodem]

2. I will be STUNNED if some GOP did not use N word before election day

[skooooo]

6. don't think it won't happen!

I'll be more surprised if it doesn't happen.

[calimary]

19. Probably already has.

Just far enough under the radar as to not be exposed yet.

Just give 'em time.

:grr:

[DangerousRhythm]

12. I'm expecting it any day now. Anyone wanna take bets on the state?

Seriously, disgusting. How can these people look in the mirror? I know, no matter how many showers they take, it can't wash off the STENCH of UGLY, DESPERATE and just plain VILE.

[Iris]

13. imo, using the term "uppity" to describe a black person is pretty much the same as using the N word

I live in Westmoreland's state and everyone KNOWS what comes after "uppity" - and it's either "woman" or the N word.

[calimary]

14. Well, it WAS there in spirit. It's CLEAR what the word "uppity" usually modifies.

Sometimes that word can also be "woman." But we know what was being suggested here. Without any doubt.

SCHMUCKS.

And they're not "man enough" even to be honest about it, either. They have to play these chickenshit third-grade word games with their little Aryan Nation Secret Decoder Rings. And they probably assume that we don't get it, either, and that we don't have a clue as to what they're up to.

[Iris]

29. exactly. I am just furious right now.

This has really got me going in a way nothing else has so far. And how, just HOW does one "thing they are uppity" - who would "think they are uppity" - what the HELL does that even mean.

[calimary]

46. Hey, this one's a no-nobrainer. We all KNOW what that means.

NO doubt whatsoever. They speak in code because they're chickenshits. They know they dare not say openly what they really feel. So they figure they'll be really clever and pull a fast one on the rest of us and we're so stupid we won't catch on. Maybe it's because assholes like him surround themselves and spend most of their time currying the favor of the Extremely STOOOOOOOOOpid.

[Iris]

47. yeah and then when we call them out on it they call us "elitists" and "intelletuals"

ugh. This is why the very idea of a McCain/Palin presidency horrifies me. It would show me once and for all that people in this country are determined to remain ignorant and backwards.

[yewberry]

3. Unbelievable.

That story should be shouted from the rooftops.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

4. Then he's all "Yeah, I WENT THERE." Bring it on. Let the racism be naked.

Show your ugly selves for the world to see.

[yardwork]

5. Keep yapping, Republicans. You're just exposing your racist selves.

The majority of people in the United States don't support that kind of talk anymore. Not even the majority of white people like it.

[ej510]

16. This is the party of Strom Thurmond and Pat Buchannon!

[PA Democrat]

7. He'd better recheck his RNC talking points. The code word is "elitist"

[blondeatlast]

8. I knew they'd let loose; how long until the wacko RW pundits think it's fair to use it now?

Trust me; they will--and they'dll defend that racist for using it.

[KitchenWitch]

10. Oh no he didn't...

:banghead:

Must defeat the GOP

[Alter Ego]

11. This is absolutely stunning in its blatant racism.

[Iris]

17. you're not kidding. I'm so outraged, I am barely breathing right now.

I CANNOT believe this shit, but I'll tell you what, if Obama and Michelle are uppity, THAT'S what I want to be, especially if being an "American Family" means being trash like the Palins.

[nc4bo]

25. sadly there's only one word that would complete the smear....

I keep hoping and praying some one will slip up......even a little.

[WeDidIt]

38. One of the pricks will

You just KNOW they will.

Obama stays cool. Hell, today, he sloughed off the entire night last night with a one line answer.

"I've been called worse on teh basketball court."

He basiclaly put the entire RNC to date down as amateurish.

That is probably what pissed off Westmoreland bad enough to go where he did.

You just KNOW they can only get more pissed off from here.

[WeDidIt]

15. Kicked and REcced

I KNEW these batshit loons would expose their racist selves!

[bullwinkle428]

20. This was absolutely predicted months ago here at DU -

all of the racism that has been lurking in the shadows, under rocks, in closets for years, will all come to the surface once we get into the heat of the campaign season.

[WeDidIt]

23. I am now wondering which GOP Congress member will be the first to

use the "N" word.

you just KNOW it's gonna happen before it's done.

[tanyev]

24. Hey, Lynn, you just violated the Eighth Commandment.

But since you don't know any of the commandments, I guess you don't care.

[Omerrrta]

27. DONT FALL FOR IT!!!

this is classic rove...they want to get us calling them racists to energize the racist vote.

[yardwork]

I call racism when I see it, and we don't need the racist vote anyway.

[WeDidIt]

30. GOOD GRIEF!

Don't call racists racists?

You've got to be kidding me!

BTW, Welcome to DU. Enjoy your stay.

:hi:

[Omerrrta]

34. .

I'm all for going after them after the election.

[WeDidIt]

36. You've got to be kidding?

You are so full of shit!

[blondeatlast]

41. Edit: dupe. nt

[blondeatlast]

42. When Domino's rings, your hidden profile pops up automatically.

Isn't that convenient?! :rofl:

[Iris]

35. um...yeah. It's certainly not going to energize a bunch of latte sipping uppity liberals along the

way, either. Nope. No way.

[blondeatlast]

39. Concerned, you are. nt

[blondeatlast]

40. Then I will call them bigots. nt

[WeDidIt]

28. Back to the top

I almost wish the admins would make this one as ticky for a few hours.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Iris]

37. I posted a sister-thread in the Georgia forum.

[ebdarcy]

31. Stupid racist fucker.

I hope his head explodes when President Obama is sworn in. Ignorant asshole.

[Alter Ego]

32. I wonder if McCain will reject and denounce Westmoreland for this.

Don't bet on it.

[DangerousRhythm]

33. If he did I'd be shocked.

He sold whatever was left of his soul when he chose that woman to be his running mate.

[eleny]

43. Does he have a Dem challenger in Novemenr?

[blondeatlast]

44. Indeed--and where can I send a donation? nt

[WeDidIt]
