Candy Crowley is one very ugly person

[Stinky The Clown]

Whenever she speaks, all I can see is hatred in her face. Hatred for anything to the left of Atilla the Hun.

[bluestateguy]

1. Candy Store Crowley?

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. Another piggy is she?. nt

[joeybee12]

3. Proof that you don't have to know anything or be right about

anything to be a political commentator. She really is a mess...the female Bill Kristol.

[Hardrada]

14. Right on several levels.

[fascisthunter]

4. She Likes Twinkies (nt)

[lonestarnot]

9. and donuts.

:donut:

[lonestarnot]

10. and burritos

[lonestarnot]

11. and burritos

[DesEtoiles]

43. and more burritos

[DesEtoiles]

44. I will never forgive the way she maligned John Kerry repeatedly

[lonestarnot]

51. crawley is one creep maggot.

[Bonobo]

5. I am someone who really believes the inside "shines through" and transforms

the face. The eyes do it. Doesn't matter a bit what the outside looks like. Some of the ugliest people I know are the most beautiful.

She IS ugly, because her insides are ugly.

I think Roald Dahl said it very well in "Witches" about beauty shining through.

8. She totally sold her soul to Bushco

right after the coronation. They chose each other. IIRC she went as far as to place herself in the hands of Bushco handlers who took her for a makeover. They gave her "ACCESS" and she gave them her all. I distinctly remember gagging at her reporting after her makeover.

One of many days of infamy for the MSM. She epitomized the blurring of the line between journalist and co-opted shill.

[NikolaC]

20. Hah

She was salivating over Bush during the 2000 election when she followed him like a groupie on the road. I don't care what she looks like, the fact is that she is one perfect example of what is wrong with the media.

[Babel_17]

27. Yes, you are absolutely correct

I didn't want to really go into it but it was like Bushco was making a point after the coronation. They put their brand on Crowley, the mark of the beast, and they made their point that THIS white house was to only be covered by people who were on board. CNN, to their utter shame, went along.

The blood from Iraq is on both their heads. They all knew the rules of journalistic ethics but they ignored them. Now they have a great yawning pit in their souls that they've blocked off, it's the spot where they keep locked up all their guilty knowledge of what they've done. It's the ugliness of that situation that shines through.

[AlCzervik]

19. yup, if she were beautiful on the outside she'd still be ugly.

[Kucinich4America]

24. No, then she would be Whora O'Donnell

[slingsam]

6. Ugly?

I think "Fugly" was invented.....for her!

[depakid]

7. So true

She and Nancy Grace are quite the pair for CNN.

[AlCzervik]

12. she hates dems and she doesn't even try to hide it, she said an in interview

a few years ago that she hated covering Kerry because he was sooooo "Boring".

[Writer]

31. That does not prove in any convincing way that she's conservative, liberal, or independent.

It was a comment on Kerry's personality, not his politics.

[AlCzervik]

32. i'm not interested in proving which party she votes for, based on what i've seen of her reporting

she spends more time bashing democrats then she does republicans.

[Writer]

33. Yeah, but don't you think that you may be biased yourself... that others may have a different

perspective on how she reports?

[AlCzervik]

36. of course i'm biased and quite frankly Candy Crowley's reporting does not come up

in conversations in real life so really how i perceive her based on my own bias really only matters to me. When Candy becomes a subject of discussion in my everyday life than maybe i'll try and watch her with more objectivity until then i don't need to deconstruct my opinion of her.

[Writer]

39. Well that's your prerogative.

As you can tell, I have some rather untraditional views of bias perception. :)

[LittleClarkie]

13. There aren't a ton of really good pics of her, are there

Why would you let yourself be photographed that way for your job?

The second one in lines one and three are the worst.

[shireen]

15. and out come the fat & ugly jabs.

c'mon people, are those comments about her personal appearance necessary? I'm no fan of Crowley, but those fat and ugly comments are just mean-spirited.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Uh ...... there is no "fat" in my OP and the ugly is clearly abut her person

Speak to those who offend you.

By the way, what would you have us say abut her?

[shireen]

22. yes, but look what you started ...

i don't watch Crowley so I'm not familiar with her politics. But it's possible to comment about a person without using the words ugly and fat (as others have done in this thread).

As someone who is overweight and not attractive, I'm sensitive to this stuff.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. I'm sorry you're sensitive

Would I be wrong to call Cheney ugly? In the same vein in which I called Crowly ugly?

[shugah]

28. i would posit, Husb2Sparkly, that you've been around DU

long enough to have an inkling about some of the responses a thread with your title would receive. whilst the body of your post set a "context", the subject line is a DU guaranty of posters making the fat related posts abundant in this thread.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. That doesn't change the intent of the post.

If you have a bitch with how people respond, talk to them, not me.

[shireen]

40. ugly and fat are popular word associations for some people

In college, I had an overweight room mate who came home close to tears one day. Some frat boys had taunted her, calling her ugly to her face. I'll never forget the expression on her face as she related the story to me: stunned, deeply hurt, so sad. I still get angry, more than 20 years later, when I think about it.

Overweight women are often regarded with ridicule and contempt in our society, and I'm sick of it. "ugly" and "fat" have become word associations for some mean-spirited people.

I am not accusing you of calling Crowley fat and physically ugly. I started my post with "c'mon people", addressing the audience reading your OP.

Unfortunately, the words "Crowley" and "ugly" have become word associations on DU that often lead to fat jokes. You've been on DU for a long time, and you didn't see this coming?


Here's a sample, so far, from this thread:
Another piggy is she?
She Likes Twinkies
and donuts
and burritos
I think "Fugly" was invented.....for her!
I googled her and got THIS image


This is sad....

[Stinky The Clown]

46. I'll go you one further .......

I'd bet that if a post were put up with any reference to Crowly, even complimentary, the word 'fat' would get used by someone. The trigger is 'Crowly', not 'ugly'.

Does that mean she becomes, de facto, immune from overt criticism?

I really think you're carrying this to the point of absurdity.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

37. You Are Being Quite Unfair To The OP.

The only one initiating use of the word 'fat' was you. The only one initiating use of the word 'ugly' in a context of appearance, was you.

The OP is perfectly fine, and you're making yourself look a bit silly with all due respect.

If you want to attack people for using weight as a factor of criticism and hatred towards character, then go after them and educate them. To do it to the OP who did NO SUCH THING, is just ridiculous.

[Dawggie]

21. Thank you.

And I'm sorry that this comment kicked the thread to tell you that.

[Stinky The Clown]

23. What, exactly, is wrong with this thread?

The fact that others before me called he rfat? That others do donut jokes about her? Or Miss Piggy jokes?

Where do you see ANY of that in my OP???????

Get your misplaced concern under control. Its obviously over riding your reading comprehension.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

34. What You Fail To Realize, Is That It Was Just You Who Was Guilty Of Such Violation.

The fact that seeing the word ugly in relation to her made you immediately jump to the conclusion that it must be referring to her weight and appearance, makes you guilty of the shallow judgments.

It is quite evident that the OP carefully considered the wording to ensure that it was her personality and spirit in context, not the shallow topic of her mere appearance.

[Writer]

42. You know, I think one could also make that claim about some of the posts...

on this forum where a person finds him or herself accused of sexism/racism/homophobia, or the like.

The OP will write something, then another person will make a similar logical leap leading to the accusation.

I think at that point, it's less about the OP and more about the poster responding.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

45. Indeed.

[Snotcicles]

16. They say beauty is skin deep. Ugly is to the bone. nt

[TahitiNut]

18. She's malicious and obscenely self-serving.

To say she has "issues" wouldn't even begin to cover it.

[Ikonoklast]

26. I googled her and got THIS image

Funny thing is, I never saw her wear a hat before.

[Radical Activist]

41. hahaha

awesome

[Writer]

30. I have not seen one shred of evidence, other than through the filter of liberal eyes, that says...

she's somehow "conservative."

[Stinky The Clown]

49. I haven't watched CNN since around the time they canned Aaron Brown ......

..... and I haven't seen her in all that time. My recollection of her is that she's exceedingly biased against our side. Her 'comments' after tonight's debate were as ugly as I recalled ..... and maybe more so. She gets her face all screwed up and contorted and seems to spit her words out when they're about Democrats and visibly softens when she's talking about Republicans. Can I prove this? No? but its how she comes across to me. And clearly I am not alone in this thinking.

[Binka]

50. I Can't Believe I Just Read This

In fact it was so ludicrous to me I read it three more times before replying. Why would you be questioning what "liberal eyes" see when you are on a liberal site? Jesus this is one of the stupidist things I have ever seen on DU. Oh Meo Myo the shit that people with a computer spew out is amazing. Candy is an enemy of the Dems and a stanch supporter of Bush Co. Thank fucking God for ignore. Another one bites the dust. Not one shred of evidence? Jesus God I need to :puke:

[robbedvoter]

35. Dolce? How can you say that? She lurvs W!

[Radical Activist]

38. She's just angry that Daddy named her after his favorite stripper.

[ConsAreLiars]

47. You mean Creepy Crawley, I assume.

My best guess is that it identified with the frogs the Chimp butchered by inserting firecrackers as suppositories and blowing them up. Stockholm Syndrome By Proxy is probably the only defense one might come up that might earn The Crawley One some bit of credibility as something less than an absolutely vile POS.

[bridgit]

48. you mean the U.S.S. Crowley?

Candy is proof the so-called 4th estate is living large :thumbsup:

[Ganja Ninja]

52. I wouldn't say she's ugly.

I'd say she's butt ugly.
