Highlights of the rant:
…knockin’ up women all over the Kenyan village of Africa.
Silly me, all this time I thought Africa was a continent, not a village in the African nation of Kenya.
My momma told me, and I trust my momma, and her momma told her, and she trusts her momma, and I trust both of ‘em
My momma’s momma told me that blacks have no business in polite society and she refers to blacks as “pickininnies”. She is not a reliable source of ethical principles just because she happened to have birthed the woman who, several years later, birthed me. If everyone thought like their grandmothers, you would still poop in a different public restroom than I do, Reverend.
…was a sloozy, was a floozy, was a low-life snail-eatin’ white woman!
Them’s fightin’ words there, Jesus man.
and if you don’t like it, go tell my momma that you don’t like it.
Okay…
Dear Mrs. Loudman,
Your son, Rev. Cray Z. Loudman set black culture back seventy years on his Internet video by proclaiming that white women who sleep with black men are vile and disgusting whores, propagating the disgusting belief that white women are of a better race than black men and for a white woman to step down from her caste to be with a lower-caste black man is akin to prostitution and sexual deviance of the worst degree. He then passed the blame onto you and your own mother. Out of respect for you, I was deeply offended by what your son did to Black America and your dignity as his mother. I didn’t like it.
Sincerely,
Reed Braden
…the trashiest thing since the Staten Island landfill.
The landfill in Staten Island is called the Fresh Kills Landfill. When it was in operation, it was actually very well-organised and efficient and it had good odour control. The landfill was shut down and the site was cleaned and is being converted into a public park.
Also, Ann Dunham, Barack Obama’s mother, was born in 1942 and the Fresh Kills Landfill opened in 1948, so she is not, “since the Staten Island landfill.” The landfill was created after she was born. Sorry. Try some fact checking next time you attempt to be snarky.
Leave Bristol Palin alone!
He’s the black Chris Crocker!
Hey, John Roberts, you gotta daughter?
I couldn’t help but imagine a terrible scenario when he said that.
Hey! … Hey!
Hey you! Yeah, you! Listen to me when I’m talkin’ on this here streetcorner!
Let’s find out what your homosexual children are doing.
Okay… but I have a feeling you’re not going to like it, sir.
You wanna get down ‘n’ dirty? C’MON!
Every night, Jesus man… every night.
So… so… so… there you have it.
So… so… so… I don’t know what it is you gave me to have.
All I have to say to counter the whole 8 minutes of this video is that Obama’s grandmother wasn’t a governor pushing for abstinence-only sexual “education,” so her daughter’s pregnancy is not politically relevant. The relevance of Bristol’s foetus is that it is proof of the ineffectiveness of abstinence-only “education” as a means of preventing teen pregnancy and the reaction to it from the McCain camp was one of brazen hypocrisy.
Poe’s Law?
(Tip o’ the hat to Friendly Atheist)


I couldn’t stop laughing, my laugh of the day! LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!Obama’a momma loved enough to keep her child. So does Bristol.

(1) You don’t need the media to make McCain look bad, nor Palin, she’s nuts!
(2) Obama didn’t raise his mother; Palin raised her daughter
(3) Considering Obama’s mother was pregnant “out of wedlock” (not that I care) and his father was an alcoholic, all I can say is, Obama has done a brilliant job of shaking off the shackles of his childhood and having a shot at the Presidency. Anyone else with such a start who “made good” would be held up as a role model if he wasn’t “the opposition”.
(4) So… a white woman who had the foresight to shake off the prejudices of her society and fall for a ‘black’ man is ‘trash’ is she? Even IF she was, that’s makes Obama’s success even greater.
(5) Wow, these are REALLY nasty character slurs. It’s rare that even I get this nasty.
(6) I’m amazed he dragged a mathematical equation out of this
(7) What’s wrong with my kids being homosexual? You can look into whatever my children are doing, I have absolutely no secrets to hide – Does this mean I can slag off Sarah Palin’s mothering skills now?
(8) Actually I don’t care, Sarah Palin is fucking stupid incompetent mother. I hate to say it about another parent, but she palmed off her kids to a nanny and then smiles when they fuck up.
Christ Reed, you really do find ‘em don’t you? Where do you dig this shite up?!

One of Hemant’s readers sent it to him and he posted the video first. I just added my snarky feedback.

Beautiful, but no way in hell that’s Poe’s law. That voice… he is definitely a preacher, and sounds sincere. I’ve honestly heard worse inside urban community churches. You gotta love politics from the pulpit, they automatically invalidate a tax free status.

I watched that video in a genuine state of alarm and thought “Oh Reed you got such a fight on your hands.” Who are these frightening caricatures who hold your country and the world to ransom with their vile logic?
… then I read your asides and felt much reassured x

LMAO! And, the conservatives whine about Jeremiah Wright…
I think this guy has single-handedly and undeniably disproven “intelligent design”. :p
Talk about a hate-vomiting, lie-weaving, broken-record noise machine!

“Silly me, all this time I thought Africa was a continent, not a village in the African nation of Kenya.”
Ha ha! But I think that is a descriptive genitive construction rather than an appositive genitive construction.
