Stewart is ridiculing Hillary and her West Virginian voters

[gabeana]

watch the repeat if you can
even making fun of her accepting money from that little boy who sold his bike and video games

I'm sure he's already dead to Hill supporters if he wasn't already

[lumberjack_jeff]

1. I am so sick of smug, smarmy....

... whatever. I can't use the "e" word.

Everyone who ridicules rank and file democrats is dead to me.

[cliffordu]

7. I like being dead to you.

[lumberjack_jeff]

34. Welcome to DU

I know the Burke-Gilman is a great trail for that $4000 aluminum-frame Motobécane. Careful you don't scratch the paint on your outback as load the bike on the rack.

The key is to not look like you're sneering at the driver of that plumbing van parked in front of your condo.

[cliffordu]

37. I live in a trailer outside Port Townsend

I ride a Redline Monocog 29er. I haven't had a car in 5 years, Limberjack.

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. How can you live on the Olympic Peninsula...

... yet never rub elbows with any rural, working class democrats?

Working class people are supposed to be our base. Not a punchline.

[cliffordu]

44. I AM "lower working class white"....I thought it was funnier than hell

My grandparents moved out here from West Virginia so my grandfather could work in the local pulp mill. He'd been a coal miner.

Used to make his own booze right here in Port Townsend.

Those films Stewart showed?? That could be my family. Aunts and uncles.

My grandmother on the other side was a skid row drunk. She had worked as a cook on cattle drives from the time she was 10 years old until the early 40's. My grandfather died on skid row in Bellingham.

If it wasn't for my Vietnam service I would NOT have been able to go to college.

Don't you DARE try and lecture me on the salt of the earth, white trash or working class people.

That's exactly who I am, and I have no illusions about them.

[lumberjack_jeff]

70. Then grow a pair. Stewart is talking about you AND me. n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

71. No. He was talking about the woman in the video clip he played that said "he's a muslim"

and the other woman that said she had a problem with his race

[Beregond2]

101. As some smart person

pointed out on here recently, there is a difference between involuntary ignorance, and willful ignorance. In this day and age, with all the information that anyone can get access to with the slightest effort, there is no excuse for the kind of ignorant horseshit those people were spouting in those clips. They deserve mockery. Maybe that will make them ashamed enough to make some effort to learn the truth before they speak. But I doubt it.

Like the guy from Port Townsend, I know that mentality all too well. People like that love wallowing in their bigotry and stupidity. And it has NOTHING to do with being "working class." My whole family was and is working class, and the majority of us never felt the desire to be backward buffoons. But some did, and they chose to stay isolated in the sticks, associating with others like themselves. They lived short, sad, stunted lives, entirely of their own choosing, and my sympathy for them and all others like them is nil.

That isn't bigotry; it is valuing education, growth and compassion, and rejecting ignorance, entropy and hate. Just because we Democrats have a "big tent," that doesn't mean we have to celebrate everyone who votes for one of us, no matter how repulsive their motives might be.

[TexasLady]

117. VERY well said. Im surrounded by willful ignoramuses n/t

[eridani]

103. Fair game. But if he made fun of a little kid, that really sucks n.t

[eridani]

104. Fair game. But if he made fun of a little kid, that really sucks n.t

[cyndensco]

140. He really didn't make fun of the little kid...He made fun of Hillary.

After sharing that this kid had sold his bike and video games, the punchline was that hillary took the money. It really was quite funny.

[cliffordu]

86. He wasn't talking about me. I had aunts that were as fucking

stupid as the woman who said she'd had her fill of Hussein.....

He was ridiculing the people in that section of film.


I got an education. I "pulled myself up by my bootstraps" and made a life.

Most of my cousins, however, did not.

Maybe he was talking about them. IF so, they can handle it.


Why are you so defensive about it??

[lumberjack_jeff]

118. Because you "pulled yourself by your bootstraps" out of the working class

That we traditionally... hell... for whom it is our entire purpose to promote.

I don't give a flying fuck if they're as stupid as hell. They are still democrats, I will vigorously pursue their wellbeing, I want their votes and I'm not going to join the gang tackle by the cool kids.

Why am I ambivalent about Edwards' endorsement of Obama? I'm hoping that he'll help put an end to this shit, something Obama and his more urbane supporters are quite happy to let continue.

As a youth, before hitchiking to California, dad was a coal miner. His dad was a coal miner. Back in the day, every mine had a table that they'd use to clean up their dead before handing them over to the undertaker. My grandfather woke up on that table twice. Why did he keep going back? So that my dad wouldn't starve. There's a very thin veneer that now covers that survival reality in most rural areas.

When I see anyone make fun of "toothless West Virginians", or laugh at an ignorant statement or a misspelling, I remember that those people don't put an emphasis on education or dentistry for the same reason - they are in a survival mode that those of us who have the luxury of self-identifying based on our leisure pursuits can't understand.

[cliffordu]

127. WEll...

I answer:

I see nothing in what Obama has said that would qualify your opinion on this. How do you KNOW Obama is happy to let this continue??

If you want to really talk life experience, Obama is closer to the kinds of working class in W. Va than Hillary ever was.....in spite of her portable accent, the faked up whiskey drinking episodes and the lies about her voting on gun rights.

I know he seems rich and distant - maybe a little too Ivy League - in speech and the way he dresses - and perhaps a little too formal - I don't think he is the elitist the press or the Clintons would make him out to be. No one coming from the kind of background HE did could be, really.

Ending the status quo - the two (or three) societies we have in this country is EXACTLY why I want him in office.

Without him being the center of attention, would you and I even be having this conversation???

When was the last time you expressed what you know about W. Va, and all that poverty in public?

When was the last time race, religion, gender and politics were all discussed out in the open like this?? Even in the MSM?? I know there's a lot of horseshit being tossed about as wisdom, but that's just because folks get scared to be outside their comfort zones and hate having their pre -judged ideas challenged. This whole process is even flushing the racists like Buchanan out in the open so they can be dealt with.....

[lumberjack_jeff]

132. I've never been to Arkansas (where my family is from) nor W. Va.

But I have lived all my life in an area that has been disparagingly called "appalachia of the west". People from the I-5 corridor know it as "that run-down logging town on the way to the beach". Every day, I try to improve the conditions of the rural poor. That's why I get pissed off when hip websites like Radar and Fark call Edwards "the angry bum candidate".

We're having this conversation because, like Josyln Carter said of Reagan, "he makes us comfortable with our predjudices", Obama is making his more urbane supporters comfortable with theirs.

[MattBaggins]

143. I have parents that stupid

what do I win?

[newmajority]

91. I've been to Port Townsend many times

Port Angeles as well..... and I've never met a single person in either place who sounds like those WV types who said they were "a scared of that Hussain thing" !!!1111!!!


Funniest part of that whole thing though : Tweety & McUseless: Dueling Douchebags! :evilgrin:

[cliffordu]

96. Few are as severe as you saw on the tape - most of them were

in the generation before me.....but the extremes were there - the last 25 years has seen a gentrification of this whole area - Irondale and some smaller towns are still pretty fucked up -

I saw a bumper sticker in the back window of a truck a couple weeks ago that said "a vote for a democrat is a vote for socialism"


Although the education has been better out here and the influx of transplants from California and back east has diluted the hatred, it is still here, under the surface....

Try Yakima......

And the dueling douchebags was fabulous!

[Krakowiak]

97. I lived in a cabin off of Discovery Road, up until a year ago

Pretty close to Irondale, but on the other side of the highway. It's a very interesting mix of economic levels in the PT/Chimicum area. Lots of money in PT proper, and Port Ludlow... but the old logging areas are still pretty depressed, and as a young guy without any special skills or degree, there wasn't a lot of jobs outside the tourism ones (didn't want to work the mill).

Lovely area, though. I still visit on a regular basis from Seattle. It's nice to see someone else from the area.

[cliffordu]

98. Cool - under 5 miles from my place....

[mrreowwr_kittty]

93. You think Obama is a Muslim?

[roguevalley]

137. no, he's talking about assholes. they are in all economic strata

but they were the ones hillary whistled for and they heeded her call.

[SoCalDem]

60. Oooh, now I have to hate you

I FELL IN LOVE with Port Townsend..you lucky DAWG !!!

I was out there in the early 70's as they were just starting to restore all those grand houses...

It's a beeeee-yoooo-teeee-ful place to be able to l;ive :)

[cliffordu]

85. Yep - it is, although we cannot afford to live in town anymore...

I was actually born here - at Fort Worden -- where they filmed an officer and a gentleman...

The retirees and upscale refugees have driven the prices beyond astonishing...

Fortunately we have a spot that will not be developed soon.

[baldguy]

25. Racism is something we, as Americans, must overcome.

It's not something our politicians should be promoting and exploiting.

[lumberjack_jeff]

35. Who said anything about racist?

See? "WV Hillary supporter" has become shorthand for "racist".

Only an idiot can't see the harm that comes from this - and don't blame it on her.

[baldguy]

69. RIIIIIGHT..West Virginians voted against they guy who was raised on food stamps by a single mom

and who's worked hard every day of his life - because HE'S an elitist.

And they voted FOR the multi-millionaire, corporate lawyer & former Walmart board member - because she's one of them.

And it has ABSOLUTELY *NOTHING* to do with the color of Obama's skin - even after Hillary admitted as much?

[appal_jack]

82. spot-on!

Baldguy, I'd recommend your response here if I could. One can believe in justice, progress, hope, understanding, AND self-deprecating humor, eh?:think:

Way to be.

-app

[cliffordu]

87. DING DING DING We have a winner!!! Exactly right.

[sandnsea]

90. That should be on billboards all over the country

Only switching McCain's Keating connections and millionaire wife. We should pay for them ourselves if we have to.

[pathansen]

112. It has to do with Jerimiah Wright's remarks horrifying voters

Several people I know who originally fully supported Obama made the switch after listening to this man who was the main pastor of Obama's church for 30 years.
It freaked them out.

[baldguy]

116. And do these people even know who Rod Parsley & John Hagee are?

Do they really believe the UCC is a radical Muslim church?

And do they really believe that 30 yrs of work can be defined by a 30 sec sound bite?

[cliffordu]

128. Why is it every time I hear someone say

they know SEVERAL people who switched after the Wright thing my bullshit meter goes off??

If that were the case with ALL the people making that statement, then Obama's supporters must have been 90% of the voters in the Known Universe.

He was only in the church for 20 years, by the way.

I love Wright. I wish more people were like him.

[yardwork]

134. Horrifying voters? I'll tell you what ought to be horrifying voters. This war.

How can people be "horrified" by the words of a preacher and not give a damn about more than 4,000 dead American soldiers?

[yardwork]

133. Thank you! A voice of reason.

I'm from a deep red part of rural Ohio. There are people in this country who ought to know better. They choose to remain prejudiced and uninformed.

[eridani]

105. Just because her campaign used the Southern Strategy framing--

--does not make everybody in WV a racist. Some are, some aren't, I'm sure.

[Stop Cornyn]

45. Jon Stewart was making fun of blatant racists. Why do you re-badge them as rank and file democrats?

[cliffordu]

47. DING DING DING We have a winner!!!

Exactly.

Lotsa fauxrage here this evening.

[lumberjack_jeff]

119. The kid who sold his stuff to donate to Hillary is a rank and file democrat.

not a punchline.

[Buzz Clik]

124. More evidence that you didn't watch the program.

The punchline was NOT the kid.

Watch first, then criticize. You'll save us all a lot of time.

[Stop Cornyn]

126. Stewart did not make fun of that kid (who's too young to vote Democrat) but made fun of Hillary for

taking the kid's money to pay off her own debt to her campaign.

Nice try.

[Buzz Clik]

122. Do you have any idea what the OP is referring to?

Did you watch it?

[Texas Hill Country]

130. agreed.

[roguevalley]

136. you've done it to non-hillary dems on this board. are you dead to

yourself?

[smalll]

2. This kind of stuff from Stewart hurts Obama in the general election far more...

than Hillary and us die-hard Hillarites continuing to fight. I remember back to Obama's Iowa acceptance speech, which at the time struck me in three ways. 1)Wow, this guy can speak! 2)Wow, this guy loves his vague, glittering generalities. And, from the zealous over-reaction from his crowd, 3) -- if he falls someday, it won't be because Obama will Deanscream, it will be because his Obama Army will Deanscream for him.

Sounds like Stewart is coming from the same place as many Obama DUers are recently -- they are not pretty in victory. Obama may not be an arrogant snob, but an awful lot of his supporters are!

[cliffordu]

9. well....

:cry:

[Darth_Kitten]

17. Bravo.

You rock. :)

[smalll]

33. Thanks!

:hi:

[DearAbby]

20. Guess Obama should call Stewart

and tell him to knock that shit off....and while he is at it...apologize for each and every time one of his supporters says anything that hurts your sensitive feelers. Better get busy, he has his work cut out for him.

[otohara]

29. I Can't Wait

and the day is coming soon, when Hillary Clinton has to step out and take back all the nasty things she said about this man and tells her supporters she's behind him all the way.

I also can't wait until DU says NO MORE - and if Hillary supporters can't handle it - they should go find some other place to spew their anger at the democratic nominee and the majority of the voters in this country.

Hate Jon Stewart, hate Stephen Colbert, the guys who have gotten us through the last 7.5 years of this nightmare.

[AntiFascist]

102. Exactly, this hatred is almost Bush/Orwellian...

Let's see, we're supposed to hate Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and now SNL...but we're supposed to love Richard Mellon Scaife because, after all, love thine enemy...Hillary would certainly continue the upside-down world Bush has thrust upon us.

[FredScuttle]

41. "not pretty in victory"

key word being "victory"

Hillary C. Wallace and her race-baiting campaign from 1968 are done and over. Get on the train or get under it.

[stillcool]

49. Jon Stewart hurts Senator Obama?

what planet am I on?

[cliffordu]

53. Planet Hillaryisn't44

[RainDog]

92. Have you seen the segment?

Three women. One so ill-informed she thought Obama was muslim. A second tried to conflate Obama's middle name with the dictator of Iraq. This woman, of course, would not make the same identification between John McCain and John Kerry. Because Obama has a name that doesn't sound white, one woman would not consider voting for him. The third woman noted that she wasn't voting for him because there's trouble between (her framing) us and them. The boy who donated his bike had the last name of Hatfield, fwiw.

If Louis Farrakan said he supported Obama and then made a stupid racist remark, I would not embrace him. I may not be able to keep him from speaking out, but he doesn't speak for me.

Why do you defend any Hillary supporter who says obviously racist and stupid remarks?

[Lisa0825]

3. It was brutal.

The quotes were downright shocking, but I don't think those ignoramuses represent the general population of the state. To present them without countering with some sensible folks was really an insult to the state. If I were in WV, I'd feel both insulted by Stewart and ashamed of my fellow citizens. That being said... being in Texas, I could easily direct you toward bigots for some primo quotes.

[Cleita]

72. I don't think eithr WV or Texas has a corner on bigots.

I live in California and we have plenty of them here too. Just cruise by our border with Mexico to see them.

[Cleita]

76. Wrong post

[cliffordu]

88. We got em all over the 'liberal' Pacific NW, too...

[eridani]

106. Hooboy. TELL me about it

Although the racism tends toward the indirect, sort of like our mists that confuse you about whether or not it's actually raining. Stay out in it long enough, though, and you'll get plenty wet.

[cyndensco]

142. But that is what Jon Stewart does and has always done.

He goes after the extreme, the ridiculous. He knows he could have found a thinking W. Virginian - I know he could have found a thinking W. Viginian - but he was making a point. "fair and balanced" is not his schtick.

[Tribetime]

4. One of the best shows this year

took his money from his sold bike and video games and spent it on confetti. I'm sure he'll think about about this when he walks home from school and not play his video games when he gets there.

[cliffordu]

12. YEP - absolutely correct.

[peterbluepedro]

5. that's why Obama supporters have a reputation as elitists

mocking white southern voters as if they were inferior.

[Tribetime]

11. Its a comedy show they make fun of everyone

I don't take it seriously when they offend me.

[Blondiegrrl]

67. Ditto that. Remember the "Dick Move of the Week" award?

Stewart hits at both sides.

I still love him. :-)

[Lisa0825]

13. To be fair....

the voters profiled in that segment were ignorant racists. The problem is that since the segment did not present average, decent people, it made it appear that those despicable people are representative of WV.

Also, keep in mind that Stewart is a comedian doing his own thing, and not a part of the Obama campaign. Don't paint us with the same brush you use on him, when we can't control what he says any more than you could.

[woolldog]

58. lisa, how do you know these people weren't representative

of average West Virginians?

Just wondering on what basis you're coming to that conclusion?

[Lisa0825]

115. Optimism?

I just don't think those idiots could possibly be the average citizen there. Now, I wouldn't doubt that the proportion of racists could be higher there than some other places, demographics vary from state to state and region to region, but I seriously doubt the whole state is like that.

My point was, for people who are linking that show to the Obama campaign, that Stewart did it, not Obama, not Plouffe, etc. This was one comedian's show, but some folks here are trying to twist it into an Obama or Obama supporters thing. If they didn't like the segment, blame it on Stewart, not on the rest of us.

[qanda]

27. It wasn't Obama or his supporters, it was Jon Stewart

And he wasn't mocking white southern voters.

[KaptBunnyPants]

39. Everyone who doesn't work for Hillary's campaign is an Obama supporter.

And you are personally responsible for everything they say.

[DearAbby]

30. I won't coddle racists.

they should be exposed and shamed into reality. I am sure there are good citizens of West Virginia. But those who are made fun of, deserve it. I won't abide a racist...PERIOD

[stillcool]

51. Oh damn...the labels are too much...

where did that "uneducated, blue collar white voter that won't vote for Senator Obama" come from? And who calls Democrats 'elitists'?

[PBS Poll-435]

6. Wow. Talk about clueless.

Seriously?

You are going allow the mocking of a little boy who believes in Senator Clinton?

Jeezus H. Crist.

Who ARE you people?

[cliffordu]

WE are the people thrown under the bus by Herself.

[PBS Poll-435]

18. Really? Do you have the scars to prove it?

Or are you just a little too sensitive.

[cliffordu]

21. I'm not the one sniveling about a COMEDY show -

[PBS Poll-435]

23. When the people go to "comedy" shows for "news"....

It comes with the territory.

[cliffordu]

24. Stewart wasn't mocking the boy. He was mocking what Hill did with the

money -

That must have been a thousand dollars worth of confetti....

[PBS Poll-435]

26. Just Filthy.

Seriously.

Aren't there other things, (other than Hillary Clinton, of course,) that are causing harm to Humanity?

have a problem take it up with him
I just thught it was funny
Someone worth 100 million taking $400.00 from a Kentucky kid, man thats funny

[PBS Poll-435]

22. You have inherated the "fuzzy math" from those who caused Bush II.

Forget facts. Forget the Economy.

In this year, 2000, we need CHANGE.

:rofl:

How is that working out for you?

[gabeana]

63. Hey DS

where is the fuzzy math "11-year-old gives $440 to Clinton campaign" http://www.timeswv.com/archivesearch/local_story_132172723.html
and you are telling me that Hillary is not worth 100 million, please explain?

[PBS Poll-435]

111. Yeah. I am pretty sure Clinton is not worth 100 million.

First off, they gave away more than 10% to charity, so there is 11 million gone, already.

Then, they paid about 34 million in Federal income taxes. So subtract that...

:think:

[eridani]

107. But it could be construed as mocking the kid, no?

Haven't seen the clip yet, though.

[gkhouston]

141. Watch the clip. Stewart's point was that the campaign took the kid's money.

And when you think about it, a candidate with a personal fortune of millions of dollars, accepts a contribution from a kid who's sold his bicycle and games to make the contribution... doesn't sound good. Nothing wrong with the kid's commitment and dedication -- but I like to think that if I were running for office, I would have quietly gotten the kid another bike.

[UndertheOcean]

8. Good !

[qanda]

10. The douche off was absolutely hilarious

[eleny]

14. She'll buy him a new bike

She has to. I don't like her but she'll do it. It could even be a plan - to talk about the boy and then get him another bike and some games as a thank you.

That was just too much! :cry:

[AZBlue]

40. With what money??

Do you think a DU donation drive would work? I really feel sorry for that little boy - I did at the time too. It's heart-breaking.

[PBS Poll-435]

43. Yep. A boy following "Jiminy Cricket" is just SAD!

Why didn't he get the AxelMemo?

[eleny]

79. she has the money, i'm sure

you'll see.

[eridani]

108. That's actually a good idea. Why not ask Skinner? n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

120. He is a democrat of whom to be proud, not sorry.

Get his dad a better job and the bike will take care of itself.

I plan to send it back with this message..

"Quit trying to bilk your supporters, hilary" "If you had managed your campaign better you wouldn't be in monumental debt and asking for money when there's no way in hell you're winning."

You're not going anywhere 'cause you're stagnant like dirty water.

Loyal democratic voters? These folks are BEGGING to be ridiculed.

that deserve our esteem.

Exactly how do you know that it was "not funny"? You showed in post #81 that you haven't even seen the show that you are commenting on.

Talk about your "low information" voter! :eyes:

56. Yay, John Edwards endorsed Obama

Today!

[bvar22]

61. Do catch the replay!

Stewart hits another one out of the park.

Boston Legal skewered Hillary tonight also.

Hillary's refusal to face reality is turning her into a laughingstock.

74. That SNL skit opened the floodgates. It's been the talk of radio all week.

She didn't get much play out of her big win, huh? And as for that blistering expose of the WV "Dems", well just let me say, I've never been more ashamed. And I hope those clips aren't played outside our borders.

89. How do you feel about your Sec. of State

calling Obama a "BOY" in a telephone interview on MSNBC on Tues. during the election?? It happened. I heard it!! To quote him, he said W.V. wasn't used to having to choose between a woman, and a boy. Brought back memories of Sidney Portiere's line, "They call me, MR. TIBBS!!! from in 'The Heat Of The Night.'

78. What did Boston Legal say about the whole

hilary staying too long at the party, bvar?

She's done it to herself and there's :nopity: for hilary.

77. I usually grin quietly when something on TV strikes me as

funny, but I laughed out loud with this show. I couldn't help it.

[qanda]

114. I was laughing so hard, I woke my husband up

He came out to ask me what was so funny and I let him watch it-- he was laughing so hard, he woke the kids up!

84. Stewart did a good job of making fun of the ignorance and prejudices of them.

[WA98070]

94. ROFLMAO --- I love TiVo

[WA98070]

95. ROFLMAO --- I love TiVo

[DesEtoiles]

99. $100 million dollar woman loans campaign $20 million-yeah, she's one of us

[VotesForWomen]

100. and this is supposed to help dems win the GE how? seems like some folks just love to hate hillary.

[gmudem]

109. It's the Daily Show.

Jon Stewart isn't in business to help the Democratic Party. But if he finds clips like this you're crazy if you think he's not going to use them.

I think the ignorant fools that Stewart showed clips of are a hell of a lot more hurtful to Democrats than a comedy show is.

[DemVet]

113. Jon Stewart is an asshat.

[whatchamacallit]

125. Y'all are fools cuz Stewart rules!

The Hillary camp is starting to have the same "talent deficit" as the republicans. Bright, creative, people just don't dig her.

[JVS]

129. Anyone have the video clip to this?

[Greyskye]

138. Here you go:

Top of the page: http://www.comedycentral.com/ "Indecision 2008 - West Virginia"

That page doesn't seem to be loading very well - here is a truly terrible YouTube link, but you can at least see what folks are talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt6x0oOLs-E

139. Great stuff. I also liked the West Virginia Douche Off!

[Coexist]

135. I thought it was a funny episode.
