As someone said on Video Cafe:

What a sad man Ron Christi is. You can always depend upon him to emasculate himself for the Republican party. He reminds me of Justice Alito, who was born to poor immigrant parents and thinks that because he is smart the powerful and wealthy consider him an equal. What neither of them realize is that they might get invited to some of the parties, but they never actually get to join the fraternity. Like the smart boy who brings up the house GPA, Ron and Sam are one of the boys only as long as the frat needs them. In Christie's case, he's a useful fool. It's a shame, because he really does seem to be a decent guy at heart.

1. The poor clown thinks they really are his friends.
They are (ab)using him like a cheap hooker.

2. If people like Ron Christie had run the Civil Rights movement Ron Christie wouldn't be on TV
What a lame excuse. Aren't the Republicans actively tyeing the success or failure of the Stimulus directly to Obama?

12. That was what bothered me about this clip.
The argument that Congress wrote the bill. Ask on the street. Ask the GOP. Who was reponsible for this bill?
Can't believe they did not shoot that down.

Gergen isn't a in-your-face pundit at all.

4. The thing about that cartoon that I object to is not its racism
though it is clearly racist . . . it is showing a violent death to the author of the stimulus bill. No one touches on that, much. It's the call to violence that I strongly object to - the racism is just sad and pathetic (as well as evil), but what can you expect from some people? showing a representation of the President being mowed down by police, however . . . that really crosses the line.

Glad to see Gergen is still on planet earth, too.

7. The way I interpreted what that poster said about 'at heart'
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 02:25 PM by Turborama
was really, really deep down.

Having said that, I don't know much about the guy and am only basing this on having seen him once or twice on TV...

10. Where do they find these guys?
Ron Christi really thinks that the Repukes has his best interest at heart. So he goes around spouting the same talking points strait from KKKarl Rove's mouth. I saw the cartoon as racist and not only that I saw it as a possible threat on the President's life. A kid was questioned by the Secret Service because he had a project about Bush choking a pretzel. Why is this guy getting questioned by the SS.

14. Thanks.
Roland talked about this on Tom Joyner this morning. He said Rev. Al Sharpton and Spike Lee are leading a protest to the NY Post headquarters.

I can't wait to hear his smackdown of that Uncle Tom Christie. :bounce:

He is a delusionist if he can't uncross his eyes and see that this cartoon was offensive.

17. Why hasn't SNL taken advantage of the comedy gold mine that is cross-eyed Christie?
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 04:08 PM by EraOfResponsibility
Yeah yeah I know, it would be insensitive and racist. (and I'm AA in case you care, so don't attack me dammit)

upon further thought, no, the GOP would be waiting for that very thing to happen so they can cry faux "racism" so, nevermind, leave cross-eyes Christie alone.

21. Personally, I discount all Black Republicans as charlatans.
They would throw their own mother under the bus for a buck. I find them disgusting. Some of them are so misled that I actually believe they would join the KKK if they had the opportunity.

22. This is one black man who desperately wants to be white.
He walks like a white rethuglican and talks like a white rethuglican. Sorry Ron, you're stuck with who you are, an asshole.

23. Oh GOD that man's voice!! ACK!! It like a million snails sliding down my back!
Is it not bad enough that every word oozing out of his mouth is delusional crap?? Must he sound like the world's most sexually repressed white man in the process?? Good Lord.

When even the old white guy sitting next to you has his mouth fall open at your powers of racism-deniability, you have GOT to be doing something wrong.

26. Colonel Sanders Favorite Chicken = Ron Christie
There was a talk show host here in St Louis, who when a caller tried to justify racist comments as not being so because a black personality said it was not.

Told the caller that "if there was a vote to lawfully hang blacks for minor infractions, there would be some black folks who would vote in favor it".

You just saw one of them.

I forget the exact exchange as it was a long time ago, but this is the gist of it.

His shtick cracks me up every time. He's so good at being intentionally annoying and getting under people's skin.
