Why do right-wingers on Twitter call Nancy Pelosi a drunk?

[BlueStater]

Anyone know the origin of this? I can't even begin to contemplate how their deranged minds work.

[TwilightZone]

1. Because of a fake video.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2019/may/24/real-v-fake-debunking-the-drunk-nancy-pelosi-footage-video

It's been debunked, but that doesn't stop them. They lie like their president.

[BlueStater]

2. So it's based on bullshit.

How typical for them.

We don't have to make crap up about Trump. Every nasty thing we say about the motherfucker is actually true.

[TwilightZone]

4. Well, of course.

That's all they have.

[Eliot Rosewater]

53. Thanks to my liberal friends off board who came up with this, you are talking about

Conservative males scared of being replaced"
CMSOBR

or

If you want to be gender-neutral, "Enraged, irrational, super-freaked out rightwingers"
EISFOR


Actually it was ONE of my friends...who I wouldnt know what to do without.

[BuffaloJackalope]

3. To draw attention from Tiny Hands' adderol addiction

[TheBlackAdder]

5. You know. . .

14. I love that movie

But it could never be made today.

Funny how Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor made such a movie that offended so many but they couldn’t stop laughing. Those townsfolk in the beginning are definitely maga’s. If only we could get them to open up and change their minds and to see the charlatan mf45 really is.

[ChubbyStar]

19. Bart was played by the late great Clevon Little

I had such a crush on him and Gene Wilder.

[lunatica]

37. Well, just look at Clevon!

Who wouldn’t have a crush on him? What a heart throb!

[ChubbyStar]

39. adorabe and his comic timing was exceptional

I had his picture in my locker in Jr High.

[lunatica]

42. That movie is exceptional in so many ways.

Funny stuff is timeless.

The thing that I think is that the movie wasn’t offensive back then, but it is now which is intensely interesting. It would be great if there was a serious cultural analysis of that. What happened between then and now that make this movie perceived so differently? Did anything happen? We’re we less racist, as a society, back then? My instinct says no, we weren’t, so where were all the MAGATs?

There are so many aspects and issues.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. If you watch Brooks interview, he faced harsh resistance and fought, unlike Django Unchained.

[Hekate]

40. Man, I love that scene. I always wondered if Gene Wilder sprung that last line on Clevon Little...

...as a surprise, as Clevon's reaction is absolutely perfect.

I rewatched the film this year, because I love it, and in the back of my mind I wondered if I could share it with my 15 yo grandson. I realized I absolutely could not share it with someone that young in 2019, as the humor relies on a time, place, and gestalt that aren't available to anyone who wasn't alive then.

[TheBlackAdder]

41. I know, I wonder the same thing.

[lunatica]

44. I shared some movies with my then 15 year old and it worked

But I didn’t just spring it on him. I talked about it first and gave him a bit of an education about the time it was made. About the humor, the director and the actors. About the satire involved.

15 year olds are the perfect age. And it’s priceless when a society can be so blatantly exposed to the light of day while making you laugh so hard that it makes tears come to your eyes. Humor is the greatest way to teach.

[Hekate]

45. I agree with you there. I just didn't feel equipped to do it at the time. nt

[Iggo]

6. Saturday morning.

Time to wash socks.

[ck4829]

7. Because they're idiots who believe poor quality "deepfake" videos

[Kingofalldems]

8. Interesting post.

[ChubbyStar]

10. I feel the same way

Hmmmm

[BlueStater]

26. If you're trying to imply something, just come out and say it.

[H2O Man]

9. Who gives a fuck?

[ChubbyStar]

12. Perfect!

[malaise]

22. Ha

Happy Holidays brother - I didn't even see your post when I posted mine

[UniteFightBack]

11. Nancy Pelosi cracks open a can of KICK THAT ASS every damn morning. nt

[winetourdriver01]

13. Why?

Because it amuses them, and they got nothing else.

[Judi Lynn]

15. Too much time on your hands? N/T

[cwydro]

18. Yeah, I always wonder when people bring that crap here.

Strange.

[BlueStater]

25. No, just genuinely curious.

Occasionally, I'd like to get a little insight into why the people I oppose act the way they do.

Not everything is a fucking conspiracy. Jesus H. Christ.

[TwilightZone]

58. In fairness to those criticizing your post...

you could have found the answer to your question in about 30 seconds with Google. There are roughly four million results.

[BlueStater]

59. I didn't want to have to wade through a bunch of right-wing shit sites. n/t

[Tipperary]

61. Wow. Irony is indeed dead.

[XRubicon]

16. Why do they use ad hominem attacks instead of logical arguments?

Why are they racist?
Why are they cultist who need someone else to think for them?
Why do they spread propaganda on the internet?

It's who they are.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I have seen that as well in comments from right-wingers and never understood where

they got it from. She seems like the most together, most sober person in congress. I think they will just do anything to discredit her. They can't stand the idea of a strong, intelligent woman who will not back down in the face of republican corruption. So they make things up.

[malaise]

20. Why do DUers repost that crap here? n/t

[cwydro]

21. My question too.

[Kingofalldems]

24. Out of nowhere too.

Extremely interesting OP.

[BlueStater]

29. "Interesting" is your cowardly way of accusing me of being a right-winger, isn't it?

Yes, I've been infiltrating this place as a Republican for 14 years. You've finally caught me.

The air of snobbishness this website has is unbearably annoying sometimes.

[OnDoutside]

34. There are a few like that due to what happened in the past campaigns

but most posters take it at face value. I remember when I first joined DU in 2016, one of the highest count posters was fairly vicious to me for a while, but most were very welcoming.

[Kingofalldems]

36. Wow. Now DU is bad too?

[at140]

27. Exactly my first thought!

What does posting this type of junk accomplish?
NOTHING!

[BlueStater]

32. I wanted to know something and I found my answer.

So this "junk" did achieve the purpose of its creation.

Thank you to the one guy who was actually helpful instead of just whining or accusing me of being a Republican.

[cwydro]

57. You really had to ask?

It’s like asking, “Why is drumpf an asshole?”

We all know the answer already.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. Insanity.

[42bambi]

28. Because they all have Magaism. nt

[stonecutter357]

30. Donald Trump is a racist pig !

[Mike Nelson]

31. I have seen this...

... more than once. I don't really know... there is nothing about her manner or history that suggests a drinking problem. My guess is that they think there must be something "wrong" with a strong woman.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Because flinging feces is what they do best. (NT)

[guillaumeb]

35. Because name calling is a large part of the GOP playbook.

It is far easier to call names than it is to engage in actual dialogue.

[Hekate]

38. Because lying is what they do. Also, Hillary is still dead from that pneumonia she had in 2016.

[Kingofalldems]

43. Got a link on that?

Because I have never heard it until I saw your OP. Thanks.

[Aristus]

48. I think you took a wrong turn, TraitorGuy.

But don't worry. There's still time for you to surrender.

Enjoy your stay...

[Aristus]

49. I guess 'ConfederateGuy' surrendered.

Back to the swamp for you, TreasonGuy...

[Hortensis]

50. Gee, maybe for the same reason they call Democrats socialists

and pray (literally in millions of cases) that Sanders will be our nominee.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

51. Why don't you ask them so you can keep their ugly crap where you found it?

One of the reasons I stay here is because I don't want to read their ugly shit, and I don't appreciate seeing it in a thread title where I can't miss it!

[RandySF]

52. Because of a video that was edited to slur her words.

[no_hypocrisy]

54. Because they couldn't find anything true and deleterious against her.

And because it was the best they could fabricate. No imagination whatsoever.

[juxtaposed]

55. b/c at times she talks very slow and picks her words very carefully. She does at times

wil start to pronounce a word and switch to another. The right takes that and manipulates into a slur b/c they can't win on the facts.

[Aussie105]

56. Not difficult

to edit and slow a video down at the right time so that the speaker appears to slur their words.

Just as easy to speed up a few frames so that a gentle hand motion to stop an intern taking a microphone from a reporter appears as a vicious and aggressive move. (Remember that one?)

Deep fakes are so much better . . . haven't seen any featuring Trump though, not really needed I guess.
