1. GOP candidates are the bar scene in Star Wars.

[ProudLib72]

2. Please tell me her husband works as a bank teller

[oberliner]

3. Seems like she is saying that these were jokes she heard from men

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Seems like that, doesn't it?

Please don't get this comment killed. Thanks.

[oberliner]

8. She talks about being in a group with "crusty men" who had certain views about women

And says that she picked up on what those views were by the jokes they were telling. Then she goes on to cite some of those jokes. She says that these men didn't want women in charge of something to do with agriculture.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. yep, that is what it is Oberliner.

Thanks for the deep-dive response on a racist's comments.

[oberliner]

16. It wasn't a very deep dive

It was literally just the first 15 seconds of the video.

[Hortensis]

37. I'm with you. I want to know what she said after

"and I knew then..." so that I can make up my own mind what to think -- about that statement.

I already despise the woman for excellent reason, even if she was not running to represent a state whose population is 37% black. I don't need any excuses to despise her for what may be no good reason.

[oberliner]

42. Thanks

I agree with you on all points.

[oberliner]

19. Did you watch the video?

She prefaces the remarks by saying that these are jokes she has heard from crusty men.

Anyone who listens to the first fifteen seconds will hear that.

[LanternWaste]

38. Sounds like she found an efficient excuse to repeat the jokes.

"Anyone who listens to the first fifteen seconds will hear that..."

[oberliner]

41. That's one way to look at it

I definitely can see that point of view.

[retread]

44. Is that like tRump's "Many people are saying..."?

[wryter2000]

34. Yup

She's a racist ahole. I've donated to defeat here. But she's putting down sexism here.

[MustLoveBeagles]

43. I see what your saying

She's said some problematic things lately, so people aren't going to be as willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it was necessary for her to repeat the joke. We could've gotten the point she was making without it.

[brush]

9. She repeated them. Duh!

[oberliner]

11. To show the sexist crap that women have to put up with

I would imagine it's even worse for Republican women, surrounded, as they are, by Republican men.

[brush]

14. SHE REPEATED THEM. God! She has nothing better say than that?

[oberliner]

15. Makes an effective point

I have never heard those jokes before - goes a long way to show what awful sexist depravity is commonplace among conservative men in the south. And how women have had to put up with it with a smile for far too long (and some still do).

[brush]

17. That's your opinion. Mine is it makes her look like an idiot following her...

lynching crack, vote suppression crack on black students, tweeting a photo of herself in a confederate soldier cap and her accepting money from a white supremacist group.

She just piled another disastrous utterance (laughingly repeating sexist jokes) on top of her previous stupidities.

How many voter groups does she want to offend?

[oberliner]

21. This video is from 2011

[brush]

23. So you just googled and found that out. Still makes her look like an idiot...

as the oppo researchers or whoever released it figured.

[oberliner]

25. She was a Democrat at that time

Or it might have been right after she switched parties.

She had been a Democratic state senator for about ten years.

[brush]

27. So that somehow exonerates her? I don't get what you're driving at here?

She did what she did. She also made the lynching crack and the vote suppression is a good idea crack while running for gov. as a repug.

[oberliner]

29. This whole thing is BS

There are a myriad of reasons to go after her (such as the ones you cited). This video is not one of them.

The OP and the Twitter account both frame the video inaccurately. That kind of thing does damage to the cause of defeating her.

There is no need to use any kind of deception or misrepresentation with respect to this person.

She votes with Donald Trump 100 percent of the time and is a self-defined ultra-right-wing conservative.

On top of that, her recent remarks about attending a hanging are way beyond the pale. To say nothing of her quite open embrace of the Confederacy.

That ought to be enough.

[brush]

30. It is what it is. Oppo research turned up the video. No way it being released helps her.

[tammywammy]

32. +1 agreed. n/t

[tammywammy]

28. Yes, she's talking about sexist jokes said to her.

The tweet is misleading.

[Autumn]

4. Sick woman. People are supporting this POS?

[SunSeeker]

5. K & R for exposure.

[Farmer-Rick]

7. I was using hyperbole when I asked in another post if she would also like to attend a witch burning

To go with the lynching, I wondered if she would also like to see women burned alive on wooden stakes for being witches. At least I thought I was being hyperbole. She obviously would attend that gruesome event too. I guess when it comes to this crazy woman you can't exaggerate enough to make it hyperbole.

[wryter2000]

35. Just a tiny quibble

Witches were hanged in this country, not burned.

[Farmer-Rick]

46. Oh really? I know that at Salem they were hanged

But what about other witch hunts in the continental US? It was before we became a country, but I thought there were other witch hunts that ended in burnings. It's an interesting observation.

[wryter2000]

47. In Europe and England

They burned heretics, too.

[Kaleva]

10. She's talking about jokes men made in her presence when she was running for Commissioner of Agri...

Commissioner of Agriculture. She refers to thise men as "crusty" and probably sexist. It certainly comes across as creepy as it appears she thinks they are funny. But I'd like to see a longer version of this video to get a better grasp of the context.

[brush]

12. She's so clueless she repeated the jokes. 'Nuff said.

[hostalover]

22. I agree. Repeating this sexist filth, with a big grin no less, is reprehensible.

[Honeycombe8]

20. Yes. She's trying to get across the point that she was unwelcome because she was a woman...

and would be given a hard time by men who told jokes like that. That was her point, I think. So she had to tell specific jokes, to get across how bad they were. Sounding angry about it wouldn't come off well, I suppose.

Some places are decades behind other parts of the country. Jokes like that are just like Henny Youngman jokes on steroids. "Take my wife. Please."

Or Rodney Dangerfield: I knew a girl so ugly that she was known as a two-bagger. That's when you put a bag over your head in case the bag over her head breaks.

(To be fair to Rodney Dangerfield, he told more self-deprecating jokes about himself. "When I was born, I was sick. The doctors told my father 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but he pulled through.'" )

[brush]

24. Laughingly repeating sexist crap doesn't come off well either.

Repugs keep scraping the bottom of the barrel to find candidates.

[oberliner]

26. The subject line of the OP is misleading in that respect

(As is the tweet it is citing)

[LanternWaste]

39. The irony of your statement escapes you, no?

[oberliner]

40. Probably

I'm pretty slow when it comes to irony.

[dalton99a]

31. She is vile AND stupid.

[bitterross]

33. She was clearly mocking those jokes.

I don't like her, I think she's a deplorable person. I don't want her elected.

But she was not making the jokes she was mocking them and the men who told them to her.

Let's not twist things the way Republicans do. If we do that with things that are not offensive and not unethical and immoral to try to make them look that way we're acting like Republicans and we're lessening our credibility overall.

[cwydro]

36. Very misleading.

I don’t like this woman, but we have no need to peddle misleading or fake stories.

[PCIntern]

45. So let me tell you this horrifying Jewish joke told to me...

No of course not...but if I had I would have expected long suspension/banning.

She of course gets away with everything because it's Mississippi.
