Which Worries You More: Uppity Coloreds, or Uppity Dames?



In this photo, Bob Novak, the guy who outs women CIA agents in order to punish their husbands, is talking to his homie, Confederate Memorial Association President John Edward Hurley. Notice that Bob and John and those other dudes in the background are all old white guys. AKA, the only people that count.

No, seriously! Here's Bob talking to a bunch of other white guys about the negroes and the women folk over at "Meet the Press," an Important Media Outlet that Matters and that coincidentally is dominanted almost entirely by . . . white guys.

"Republicans are very pessimistic about 2008. When you talk to them off the record, they don't see how they can win this thing. And then they think for a minute, and only the Democratic Party, with everything in their favor, would say that, 'OK, this is the year either to have a woman or an African-American to break precedent, to do things the country has never done before.' And it gives the Republicans hope."



The answer to the titular question, though, is that Bob's more bugged by the uppity women than by the uppity Negroes--he and Hugh Hewitt agree that these people who "reject conventional forms of political action"--you know, like public platforms they're not invited to appear on--are scary.

the venom that comes out of the mouths of some of these women, particularly, I’m not trying to be sexist, but they’re so vicious toward [Bush]. And I don’t think that really contributes.



Ladies, it's *not nice* to be angry at men who, oh, think you should be broodmares for the republic. Stop arguing and *be productive*.

Bob also says that if Hillary wins, really that's just giving Bill a third term. Because, you know--just like in the Plame outing--women have no identities of their own. That's the kind of traditional value conservatives like Novak can really get behind.

Bob Novak's Republican Party: We Hope, Because We Believe Americans are Racist Woman-Hating Neanderthals.

There's a slogan for ya.

Bitch_PhD can't wait for the argument about how divisive this post is.

Again...sad, but frightfully true. Hard to say if the Novak club is worse than those they refer to...They may not be that far off in some parts of the country. And at least Repugs are sticking to the fear card! They may well be 19th century fears, but they'll do in a pinch. Speaking of pinching...Makes one pine for the days when good ole boy (segregationist, racist, rapist) Strom would pinch Hillary's behind in the Senate chamber...ahhhhhh. Now we're getting viscious.

Hm. I thought the other journalist's perception was interesting:


HUNT: You know, I have a different take. I don't think the Bill Clinton thing is that big a deal at this time. I think if you look at these two front-runners, and you look at over the last six months, and they both have probably exceeded expectations. Go back to January 15. If you said, "Six months from now, Hillary Clinton will have minimized her Iraq problem, she will have raised over 50 million dollars, she would have done better than probably anyone in the joint forums, she would be cleaning up with political endorsements," you would say, "It's all over. She's won."



But yes; Novak, for one, is a misogynist. That goes extra to understanding the Plame outing - he didn't like the idea of a woman having a career in the first place; much less in the CIA.

Gosh, those old white men are right! I should be a welfare baby-mama, cus that would really contribute to our economy and pull my weight around here. Might as well just keep pumpin' 'em out, too, cus lord knows you get bigger and bigger welfare checks the more babies you have!

And if you secretly smother them in their cribs you still get to keep the cash! AWESOME!

I think you actually make more money selling your eggs to couples who WANT rugrats, so while it's really tempting to keep popping out babies once every 9 months, I think I'll settle for pumping myself full of hormones for a month and then having my unwanted eggs surgically removed for $5,000 or more. Ch-ching!

I wonder if he's saying the Democrats shouldn't choose an ethnic minority or woman as a candidate, because he knows that Obama and Clinton are the best candidates and would provide the biggest threat to the Republican party. It could be a reverse psychology stunt.

Bitch_Phd's post is not divisive. This is preaching to the choir. And Bob Novak didn't out Valerie Plame. Scooter Libby outed Valerie Plame. Novak was merely Scooter's and of course the veep's method of outing.

Well I'm as conservative as they come, educated redneck hillbilly if you will, and I'm voting for the uppity colored. He is the most refreshing voice I have heard in public life in so long I can't remember. He can think on his feet and has no republican threats whatsoever[ I'm sad to say].

I think this is really more about the democrats, who pretty much have the election in the bag, having front-runners who are, because of gender and race, likely to be risky. They're breaking the mold, and Novak knows people are often afraid of what they see to be big changes. Novak's said a lot of pretty awful stuff, but this one's not so bad; it's just accepting that there are definitely people in America who would never vote for a woman or a black man, and that by possibly choosing one to run for the oval they're running a risk.

PS - Okay who clicked the "Bob_Novak" link? wink
