Hey look racists can't drive!
I love that the guy narrating this video, who is clearly African American, is at first really irritated by the fact that the police are blocking off the streets for this debacle, and then becomes almost giddy after one truck rear ends another.
"God don't like ugly."
By the way this is in Georgia where my daughter is currently staying for work. I REALLY do not like her being in Georgia.
Being somewhat old school, I thought the language he used was over the top, except for his last sentence...God do not like ugly! The idea of a Confederate flag parade is just stupid. Good for the guy capturing it on tape!
ReplyDeleteNo more over the top than Bristol's statement to the police at the throw-down at the ho-down.
DeleteI loved it. In part because that could have been me with all the "fuck!"s. And I was raised to be proper (in the South). Still can put on the propriety when I need to for survival. :-)
DeleteOh my bad, I forgot that every single thing on this blog is supposed to be about hating the Palins.
DeleteWe don't hate the Palins -- we're chronicling the Palins, like an old-fashioned TV soap opera. Their lives are so full of vibrancy, action, travel, reaction, sermons on sarahpalinchannel, endless instragrams and tweets -- like soap opera for the 21st century. And it's all real. We can't believe our eyes and ears sometimes.
DeleteI'll make a prediction -- and know I can be wrong -- that Sarah will show up on her latest FB post with a proud Confederate flag hanging next to her American one. She'll talk about the brave soldiers of the Confederacy, and how the Confederacy is the "heritage" of the Southern states. She'll throw in some talk about state's rights and the "liberal" Supreme Court for kickers.
She and her 25 followers can then put together their KKK sheet costumes on-camera. And be ready to roll. The merging of the tea party and the KKK is not too far from the future. Their goals are the same.
8:35 ~ Isn't it interesting that a bunch of soaps went off the air starting in 2008 when Paylin hit the tubes?
Delete$arah is the ultimate 'tune-in for the next $henanigan'!
I grew up in Ga. Used to go to Dalton for horses shows as a kid. Place is full of red necked inbreds. LOL when I saw that video. PERFECT! But at least the police officer was there to take care of the insurance issues right away!
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like the 2,427 Chihuahuas in the car with him aren't too happy about the parade either! Lol
ReplyDeleteI was chuckling about the dogs yapping too.
DeleteLol!!
DeleteGryphen, isn't Georgia where your daughter grew up?
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I live in a rural, red corner of the state (typical of any place outside the cities) -- cotton and slash pine and hunting country. In the last week, Confederate flags have become conspicuous by their absence. I have seen two on vehicles in my town. This weekend, I took a two-hour trip (each way) through very rural parts of GA and SC. I saw one Confederate flag outside a house, flying below the U.S. flag. In the past, I would see many more.
There may be more tension in Atlanta right now. I have black students from there who talk about profiling and police brutality as a way of life. (One didn't understand why black families are "making a big deal" of police violence because "it happens all the time and it isn't going to change, so what's the point?" It was heartbreaking.) So animosity may be ratcheting up there.
But I think that here in the Deep South, things are changing. I think decent people who took pride in their Confederate heritage are rethinking (150 years late) the implications of that pride and of how they express it. I think many are shocked that what to them was a symbol of pride is to many others a symbol of hate. (And if you wonder how they didn't get this before, well, you might have to live here to understand.)
In the people I encounter, there has been a sense of unity and hope, not rage and reprisal.
I can't tell you not to worry, both because you're a parent and because I don't know where your daughter is or what she's working on. I can tell you that just being in Georgia is not in itself cause for alarm. :)
{{By the way this is in Georgia where my daughter is currently staying for work. I REALLY do not like her being in Georgia.}}
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you. I don't want to be in Virginia either, but ours was a case too of 'you go where the work is,' and that's where we've been since '83.
George 'Macaca' Allen, Bob McDonnell, Ken Cuccinelli, and came within a razor edge once of putting Oliver North in elected office too. And this state has taught me to absolutely detest summer. (I was a Philadelphia boy, and a New Jersey young man.)
I hope you get your daughter back soon.
Since someone earlier mentioned Bristol let me add that I'd like to see John Oliver do a segment on which he will show a picture of Bristol and someone reading the different things she's said each day swapping back and forth with a "relationship expert" who will explain what Bristol means.
ReplyDeleteSo, someone reads what Bristol said on day one followed by the expert explaining, followed by Bristol on day two followed by the expert explaining, and on and on.
Here's the kicker: the relationship expert will be one of those screaming goats that has been all over television recently and each time it screams Bristol's eyes in the photo go cross-eyed and her lips pucker into her trademark fish lips and in the background you hear Sarah screaming "SHUT UP BRISTOL JUST SHUT UP!"
Have y'all heard the news?
ReplyDeleteDakota is gay and hiding behind Bristol and her pregnancy.
A mutual cover-up if you will. No pre-nup needed when you can blackmail someone for the rest of their life!
Might be the reason Sarah was darn near sticking her gnarly finger up his nose at The Celebration Of Life Or Something! Reminding him that $he would spill the beans if he hung Brissie out to dry!
DeleteSo, he would rather be thought of as a deadbeat dad than come out? Doesn't he realize that the Palins cant be trusted? They will find a way to get rid of him once he has served his purpose.
ReplyDeleteVery sad.
G,
ReplyDeleteJust read on another blog that Dakota is gay. Have you heard and what do you think?
God do not like ugly and that is why he has sent the pestilence of perpetual negative press upon the Palins to smite them for their many sins, including arrogance, pride and all the infractions that should have landed them at the gates of the city with an angry mob throwing rilly big stones. HEY - it's the WERD of gawd - don't be dissing me. It's all laid out in the Hole-y Babble - check out Deuteronomy. The Deuter dude got hisself some rill class issues or whatnot. Maybe the original ht8r?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing the redneck confederates could have done better was to cause the accident by rolling coal and having an obstructed visibility accident. Maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteThere are just no words. Those redneck guys (and I presume tough broads) all PO'd and in their trucks saying a big F-you with their confederate wienie flags...how manly!
ReplyDeleteI has a sad, because I guess I got here too late - the video has been deleted so I couldn't see what you're talking about, Gryph
ReplyDeleteTry again. I fixed it.
DeleteThanks for the laughs! I had a bad incident in Georgia, and vowed never to spend one cent or moment of my free time there I'm sure there's good and bad everywhere, but this "yankee" must have run into the bad apple.
ReplyDeleteHe really gave it to them, and his little dogs, too!
Stupid rednecks.
ReplyDeleteProbably had an open can of beer in one hand and a gun in the other, driving with his knees.
