My mother and her little kaffee klatch of friends in Palm Beach County Florida were completely convinced Obama was a Muslim
and more than anything -- this was a no-no to many of the elderly
Jews in Southern Florida. No matter how many times I tried to convince
them of the opposite -- it was falling on deaf ears.
They learned it from the internets.
I was ready to give up.
But then my little fairy godmother from Alaska appeared. And wow
did opinions change. Sarah Palin is not a popular figure among the mah
jongg crowd of Southern Florida.
My mother cannot believe McCain would pick someone with such little
experience - and as she said "this woman can acutally push the button
we so fear. Oy vey."
"...but what are we to infer from this lesson?"

I infer... B.S.

No matter how hard you twist your mothers nipple, Obama is still a muslim?

Mmmm, mobylicious!
ReplyDeleteI was beginning to think that I am the only person in the world who sees the utter absurdity of the She-Has-No-Experience meme. True, she doesn't have as much experience as I would like, but she has infinitely more experience than Obama. They uniformly refuse to see the hypocrisy of the argument.
ReplyDeleteThen I discovered that it has become a major tenant in their religion. It was proclaimed in the Sacred Talking Points handed down from the Holy See at the DNC and thus is unquestionable, infallible and above reason.

Thanks, Tokyo Kos. I'm sure the Republicans are shaking in their boots. It must just burn these people up that they found a better version of Obama with a clean record.
ReplyDeleteWhat I can't understand is why so many people on the right are repeating it instead of giving it the horselaugh it so richly deserves.

As a Jew I call this Kosfuks' post a complete fabrication. News sites are filled with comments from shmucks who call themselves former Republicans. Former Republicans don't have their won pages at Kos, and old Jewish women don't give a crap or not if Sarah Palin is from Alaska or lacks experience.
ReplyDeleteShe has 5 kids, looks nice, did well in life and speaks well. That's all they're going to notice. And, only in a cartoon version of Judaism does someone end a thought with "Oy Vey". That's what you say Before you make your point.
Kosfuks really are the worst.

she has twelve years more executive experience than everyone else running combined! No experience my ass. Nice try Kos Kommies but you can't make it stick; there are the debates you know. Even Obama cannot run from teh debates for ever. I bet he continues to try to weasel ou tof them because he is an empty suit. Has has no experience as a Senator much lass as an executive.
ReplyDeleteLefties; just because you beleive anything anyone says doesn't mean every one else too.
Complete BS. No different than when a "seminar caller" calls in to Rush, and the first thing they say is "I've been a life-long Republican, but now that Bush is in office I will for the first time vote Democrat..."
ReplyDeleteSouth Fla Jews voting for McCain? Only in an alternate universe.
And another thing - no one refers to that part of Florida as "Southern Florida"
ReplyDeleteHere in Florida you have North Florida, Central Florida, and South Florida. If you're up near Pensacola you're in the Panhandle.
Douchebags.
Being in Pensacola (and the Panhandle), I concur with Ken.
ReplyDeleteAnd if these preening fecktards want to keep harping on "experience," or the lack thereof, maybe they could give a couple of good reasons that John Bolton wouldn't be the most "experienced" candidate for prez...EVAR!!1! Their attempts to propagandize for BarryNaif are transparent and ironic, given that dood's dearth of "experience" in anything except securing dirty money for himself and his commie bitch of a wife.
These sonsabitches have a judgment day coming. I think they'll simply spontaneously combust after d-d-duhBama and his butt pirate Biden lose the race.
hahahaha! Never happen.
ReplyDeleteKen, you're absolutely right. I've lived in and about Broward and Miami-Dade for 25 years and there ain't no such place as Southern Florida.
Being a nice Jewish girl and all, I have yet to meet one single solitary Jewish person who will admit to voting for Obama, no matter what the age group.
I just want to feel her brains.
