1. It could be the same woman in both pix.

Even the hairstyles are somewhat similar. Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose.

17. Yeah, haters all look alike, from Dixie to South Boston

The defining characteristic is that they're all mouth. None of them has higher brain function engaged, they're all the lizard brain people, the frontal lobes non functioning.

[MrMickeysMom]

19. Limbic brain, Warpy...

My only way of understanding it…

[Louisiana1976]

27. Mine, too! The haters are reptilian.

[RKP5637]

52. Yes, there is a lot to that ... as one of my friends used to say, they wander in the lower orbs of

humanity with pathological hatred as their only contribution to mankind.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

45. Jay Marvin used to call them Brain Stems.

When a right winger would call and things got heated "see ya later, brain stem!!"

[RKP5637]

54. Yep, just brain stem reflex responses ... core hatred, no brains, just brain stem reflexes of

hatred.

[littlemissmartypants]

58. LOL. eom

[Fantastic Anarchist]

70. Perfect description ...

I shall use the term for all reactionaries that I engage.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

72. It sounds better when you throw an f-bomb in, IMO.

"Fucking brain stems"

[Fantastic Anarchist]

73. Oh yeah, I'll definitely spice it up.

[El Shaman]

21. except

Bottom hater lady has a rolled up, 'Southern Redneck Times', news paper and looks like she's a ready for swatting .

[DirkGently]

2. Perfect. That facial expression: Fearful, cowardly, destructive.

Always the same.

[LiberalEsto]

23. They also look like they're enjoying themselves

There's a certain "smile of hate" that I've observed numerous times on the faces of right-wing protestors. They love what they're doing, which is getting out and proudly displaying their hate for the world to see.

[Louisiana1976]

30. True. They have that certain sneer.

[RKP5637]

55. Yes, in fact, it's a fetish for them ... they just have to have something to hate, it's

their core essence of being, how pathetic for them.

[2naSalit]

[wandy]

4. We are saddened at the hatred we see half a world away........

We wonder how that hatred could become so intense that killing children is of no matter.

Personalty, I wonder how they could have reached that level of inhumanity without Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Fox News there to nurture their hatred.

5. I saw Elizabeth Eckford on TV once.

It was several years ago, on some sort of program about the events in Little Rock. She was in tears, she was so ashamed of her behavior. Let's hope the ones in the first photo have the grace to see themselves and be ashamed.

[BlueEye]

6. Wait, wasn't Elizabeth Eckford one of the Little Rock Nine?

The white woman screaming in that infamous photo, her name was something else... But Elizabeth Eckford is the black woman in the photo, defying racism to attend school.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Eckford

[The_Commonist]

7. Yes. Brigid is thinking of Hazel Massery...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazel_Massery

[Brigid]

10. Oops, I got the names mixed up.

My apologies.

[Boomerproud]

43. I have a question.

Why haven't the racists from the 50's ever been asked to explain their actions? I don't mean to give them a forum to tell "their side of the story" but I can't think of one person (the bus driver who had Rosa Parks arrested for example) who has ever been forced to face what they did to another human being.

[BlueEye]

47. Well, the white woman shouting in the picture went on Oprah and apologized.

Most of them hide in shame, I suppose.

[chowder66]

22. That level of hate never really disappears or is rehabbed

She tries to state it must have been her dads opposition to integration and she couldn't have had her own convictions yet, in trying to excuse why she must have done that..... aka hate so damned hard.

That right there is a cop out. No one can tell me who has that much anger on their face that they don't have their own convictions. Bullshit. Even if she was raised in a racist household; to go out there and shout down another woman like that takes damned conviction.

Massery just wanted to feel better about herself at the expense of others. That's the kind of person she was back then and still is.


"Soon after, the friendship began to fray as Eckford began to believe Massery "wanted me to be cured and be over it and for this not to go on... She wanted me to be less uncomfortable so that she wouldn't feel responsible anymore." Massery also began to revise parts of her story to present the photo as an isolated incident (when she'd been involved in racist dialogue after it) and attempted to avoid implicating her family as a source of racial views. The friendship quietly dissolved in 1999, and she retreated from the public eye, speaking of her public actions as a mistake. The two women have only spoken twice since, both times in 2001 (the first being a call to Eckford during 9/11),[1] though the Masseries sent a condolence card after Eckford's son was killed.[1]

Since the friendship ended, Eckford has spoken of Massery as being exhibitionist and profiteering, and a "born-again bigot."[1]"

44. Sorry, I didn't see this post until I posted.

Sounds like the white woman is "unreconstructed" as Teddy Roosevelt said about his southern belle mother Martha.

[El Shaman]

25. Never happen

This , beck , home schooled , tea baggies will sue the newspaper. You can tell by the ,2 corn dog, size feeder hole!

[Zorra]

8. Ugh. They look like archetypal demons. nt

[napkinz]

9. yep

[tblue37]

35. You have to hope that at least they will be a bit embarrassed--even if only

because they look so darned unattractive in these pictures, and that ugliness (which is an external manifestation of internal ugliness, even though they don't realize it themselves) is right out there for everyone they know to see.

I hope our mothers were right, and that their faces freeze like that.

[Skittles]

50. the gal in the older pic eventually saw the light

I read that she was deeply ashamed of her actions

[Schmice2]

11. You absolutely nailed it. Thank you for the visual. It says it all.

[Snarkoleptic]

12. WWJD?

Who would Jesus deport?

[Wellstone ruled]

13. This is what you get when

week self centered people with minimum intellect are directed toward a cause. Ignorance and hate are easily directed by propagandist for their agenda's. Tribalism is human nature. These actions are very predictable with a cause and effect. And so it goes. Wake up America,enough of the STUPID.

[AlinPA]

14. In the recent one, she is screaming "USA!!" "USA!!" "USA!!" "USA!!". Real 'murcans.

[ErikJ]

15. Texas Tea Party candidate Chris Mapp

[spanone]

18. mr mapp is as christian as a dog turd. perhaps the turd is more christian.

[3catwoman3]

46. I read the above and thought...

..."Christian, my ass," but I like yours a lot better.

[El Shaman]

26. yup,

One hour per week makes him a kristian.
Must be having affairs with his favorite cows.
Hot in olé South Texas this time of year and them folks get 'sun loco' fever.

56. One hour of praying

167 hours of sinning, chances against going to heaven, 167 to 1. (Shameless ripoff of "Walk on the Wild Side&quot .

[packman]

68. Appropriate quote

[Fantastic Anarchist]

71. Holy fuck! Did he really say that? nt

[TNNurse]

16. I would ask her a question.

Do you pray to God with that mouth? She should be forced to look at that image of herself every morning and then explain what she believes in her heart.

[Enthusiast]

29. "Do you pray to God with that mouth?"

Wow! I like it.

[wordpix]

38. they won't get it. I asked a T-bagger protesting against O-care

before it passed Congress if he was on Medicare (he looked at least 65). He said yes but "I worked for it." I told him I worked for my health care, too, and I wasn't yet 65, but my health insurance was now unaffordable whereas his Medicare is a gov program that is affordable, and that's what I want, too. Insurance that's affordable. Just like he gets.

He went marching on. Was part of the group that spit on Rep. John Lewis. Disgusting group of people.

[raccoon]

41. Good on you. Really chaps me, these people on Medicare who begrudge others having

affordable insurance.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. It's deja-vu all over again, just make the photo B&W.

[geardaddy]

65. That woman in profile almost looks like Sarah Janacek.

[malaise]

24. Wow!

Are those two related?

Great post

[Enthusiast]

28. Kicked and recommended!

Thank you, n2doc.

[Louisiana1976]

31. Excellent post. K&R

[calimary]

32. Amazing American Ugliness.

Oh MAN! Ugly.

What have we come to, America? And why do I feel like the America I'm addressing isn't the America that even exists anymore?

[TwilightGardener]

33. Braying donkeys, that's all they are.

[raccoon]

42. Braying jackasses. nt

[Bobbie Jo]

34. Ugly

Inside and out.

[navarth]

36. I expect to see some Exorcist Pea Soup come out of those mouths

Hate makes you BUTT ugly, here's more proof.

[JaneyVee]

37. And these people call themself "prolife".

Love thy neighbor.

[kelliekat44]

39. You forgot the photo under the hanging tree. nt

[catbyte]

40. My thoughts exactly.

[The Wizard]

48. The results of drinking toxic tea

I suggest hemlock.

[Skittles]

49. can we keep the children and evict those gals?

yes indeed

[Mopar151]

69. I'm with you!

Any coach worth whatever, would make that deal in a second! Those hags and the secret police deserve each other. Another question - who's been making up those very professional looking signs?

[RKP5637]

51. Haters, Haters, Haters. Sick pathetic perverted haters!

[Uncle Joe]

53. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, n2doc.

[Bartlet]

57. Same people

different target of hate.

The more things change, the more racists and bigots stay the same.

[DeSwiss]

59. The irony is......

...she doesn't even have a border.

- The only place I've ever seen them is in man's imagination.....

60. I think they should secure their borders.

Lock yourself in your fucking house and scream at the walls.

[steve2470]

62. very similar to this (apologies to Mr. Godwin)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_boycott_of_Jewish_businesses

[1StrongBlackMan]

63. I've often wondered ...

whether the woman in the second picture (the Little Rock "protest&quot orher family members look back at that picture and feel embarrassed/shame?

I wonder if the woman/her family will look at this border "protest" picture and feel embarrassed/shame?

[berni_mccoy]

64. Great post. And great catch.

[LynneSin]

66. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the photo

I would be ashamed if there was ever a photo of me screaming racist comments to another person. But then again I would never ever do anything like that because it's just downright stupid.

[mountain grammy]

67. The ugliness of hate.. and it never dies.

[napkinz]

74. more images of harassment and abuse ...
