On Friday, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), in an act of pure political desperation, has now labeled her own constituency racist and sexist. “I’ll be very, very honest with you,” Landrieu said. “The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It’s been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as leader.” The goal: drive out the black vote, the same way President Obama did in 2012.
Landrieu then added that the South is “more of a conservative place” and said that women have a problem “presenting ourselves.” The goal: driving out the female vote, the same way President Obama did in 2012.
Mary Landrieu has been in office since 1979. So for three decades, the people of Louisiana weren’t sexist enough to oust her, but now, apparently, their latent woman-hatred has come to the fore.
But Landrieu isn’t the only desperate Democrat pulling out all the stops in the late stages of a failing campaign. Here are seven others:
Charlie Rangel. On Thursday, the Democratic representative from New York performed his act at a rally for New York Governor:
We have to win!…Everything we believe in – everything we believe in – they hate. They don’t disagree – they hate! They think if you didn’t come from Europe 30 years ago, you didn’t even make it. Some of them believe that slavery isn’t over and they think they won the Civil War!
Rangel added that Democrats are doing “God’s work.”
Not moves of desperation.
Projection.
I’m not too sure it’s not working. The Ds only know one way to win, and that’s to cheat. Whether that means lying, thug tactics at the poling places, ballot stuffing or other voter fraud by rigging machines and “counting” the votes to favor their candidates.
I pray that they will fail. But I’m not holding my breath. God may have given us up for our apathy in letting evil take over. I pray he is merciful for those of us who are now fighting.
Donkey manure. In one sense, no place can be called the “friendliest place for African-Americans.” But let’s take the weaseliness out of what she said.
In my lifetime (I’m 65 years old), I’ve lived in Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, and California. I have spent enough time (visiting family, business projects) in about 15 or 20 other states to be at least passing familiar with local culture and attitudes.
There is no question in my mind at all that African-Americans (using her term) as a whole are a more integral and respected part of society in the South than anywhere else in the U.S. I suspect that it is largely because Southern culture is much more individualistic and less collectivist than the rest of the country.
I’m beginning to get the jitters A win by these hateful bastards would break my heart. New York will most likely put the fake, phoney, and fraud, Cuomo back in office. Fuckit!
As happy as I’d be if this happens, the Republicans have their own equivalent in the flood of
“Obama won in 2012 beause Conservatives didn’t vote” crapola I’ve been getting in the mail.
Does Rangel think they, the democrats, won the civil war? Republicans DID win the civil war.
If it had been up to the democratic party at the time, south or north, there would still be a slave owning south. The northern democratic party platform during the 1864 election was to let the south go it’s own way. And we all know what the southern dems stood for.
Change has come…beautiful.
I live in Louisiana and everyone I know is disgusted with the racist utterings of Miss Piggy, Mary Landrieu.
a big Thanks to IOTWREPORT – it was here I first read the nickname, Miss Piggy, for Mary Landrieu. Brilliant! She really does look like Miss Piggy and her actions match too – greedy, assholish, narcissistic.
Every expression of the socialists about their opponents, are actually expressions of their most closely held beliefs.
Rangel HATES the opposition – he truly desires that they be concentrated in camps or killed.
Landrieu wants to ‘divide and conquer’ – based on race or sex, she doesn’t really care.
All high-level socialists are filthy rich – but they’re always decrying wealth (clarification – earned wealth as opposed to stolen or extorted wealth).
The socialists are always whining about ‘the poor’ while working tirelessly to ensure that ‘the poor’ remain poor and the rich remain rich.
The hypocrisy is cyclopean and easily depicted as Galoomphy Grayson. Their hatred of all things decent is palpable.
Funny coming from a rich white liberal who prefers to live away from her own state in a mansion orbiting DC.
By all means black folk should vote for the same trash that keeps them locked up in chains living in the trash heap.
Democrats and the MSM have been beating this drum for 6 years. Most women don’t believe anyone is “at war” with them – much less Republicans. If America isn’t any friendlier to blacks, the current crop of Democrat politicians sure hasn’t done anything to help the situation, and the President, Holder, and Sharpton have arguably made things worse.
Too many of the Democratic faithful have heard these things for years, and these claims have been proven to be false. There is just no reason for these folks to go to the polls.
God’s work, eh? That’s a line that 0bama has been using too.
I believe it IS God’s work. Or, rather, god’s work.
The question is, which god?
As you know, there are many ‘gods’ out there. Which one is the god of the democrats?
That picture of Donkey is the best representation of the Dems right now. They are in for an ass whooping that has been long overdue. Their at the point now where the know the punishment is coming and are dreading just how bad it’s going to be. Usually, that’s the worst part of a beating; knowing that it’s coming and it’s going to hurt, bad.
They worship the god Hanuman.
Sorry Bob, but there is only one. And He’s Irish.
Tuesday, to say the least, is going to be a very interesting day.
Well, isn’t obvious now that Obama is banking on democrats to take a hit in the Congress, for him to accept being somewhat of a lame duck president, and for the 2016 election, grant that amnesty in the near future to get the Hispanic vote, also known as the “New Black Vote.” Like it or not the future is coming, and it’s brown–not black–not white. You don’t like that? Fuck more often and keep your fingers crossed.
If the Democrats have accomplished anything over the past six years, it’s to set us back to the ’60s regarding race relations. Ferguson didn’t have to happen the way it did, but thanks to the efforts of Sharpton, Jackson, et al, who kept picking at the scab on the social wound of grief, we are at a time where racism has once again reared it’s ugly head as a powerful political tool. James Goad, (author of the “Redneck Manifesto”) once pointed out that as long as they can keep us busy fighting amongst ourselves, they can get away with anything they want. He is right.
