3. I would like to think that Noonan did not say that. But I am very |
|
suspicious that she did say that. And I don't like it very much.

That was in really poor taste, even for me.

Apparently some people seem to think, overstating their case makes the case stronger. It doesn't.

18. It takes a lot of work to maintain a 35 year orgasmic state over Reagan. |

How to you expect her to handle Obama as well?

11. I think you caught the essence of the message. A simple quote |
|
can't convey all that was carried by the body language.

15. I can't stand Peggy Noonan, but she |
|
never said "house negro." She did use the word "boor" or "boorish."

17. She did not use that phrase, but I think it is sarcasm |
|
Edited on Sun Sep-20-09 01:41 PM by Hansel
Dictionary .com
Boor 1. a churlish, rude, or unmannerly person. 2. a country bumpkin; rustic; yokel. 3. peasant. 4. Boer.
Boer –noun 1. a South African of Dutch extraction.
Which of these definitions of boor do you think she meant?
Edit to add: I don't know which one. But I think that the phrase used in the OP was meant to criticize her use of the word boor. Either she doesn't know what it means, in which case she is being incompetent, or she meant it and was degrading the president on a very personal and demeaning level, in which case she should be dropped from Steph's panel. That was the time for Georgie to get the dictionary out.
All that being said, I think that the OP title should be clarified.

16. She only calls him a "boor".... |
|
... because she can't call him the "N" word in public.
I said something to that effect about calling Obama a "socialist".
The racism in the whole anti-Obama campaign is sometimes overt, but sometimes it is so subtle as to be subconscious. Just because Noonan is educated and reasonably intelligent doesn't mean that 'way down deep she just can't deal with a dark man being president.

20. By George, I think you've got it. It's almost amusing how carefully |
|
the RW codifies the racism behind their discussions of Obama.
Note that I said "almost."

21. how dishonest can you possibly be? |
|
there is no quote from Noonan or the kos article that claims that Obama is "not being a good house negro".

I loathe Noonan, but she said nothing even close to "house negro."

25. did you see noonan roll her eyes when donna was speaking? |
|
why does noonan even get to on these shows anyway. and what happened to "the dems are in the majority so we mostly have them on the tv'? that's what we were told about only having republicans on when they were in the majority! this panel was 4 republicans and 2 dems!
crikey!
