http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6562139Man, I can't believe myself.
Realistically, I have no sympathy, no affection, at all for anyone with a (D) after their name, but given the virulent Hate and Intolerance of the Obamaite primitives, I at times find myself warming to a (D) who the Obamaite primitives don't like, no matter who that (D) is, or how sordid and tawdry that (D) is.

Harold Ford says there is NO RACISM in the "UPPITY" attacks.
WHAT?!?!?!
(Race for the White House, just now.)
It's a big bonfire; the primitives are obsessed with Harold Ford, whom they obviously view as a traitor to his race.

9. God bless that girl! She was on it today. This "uppity" meme is something..
we have to crush right now. Or it will be Gore redux.
You know, I pay a lot of attention, a whole lot of attention, to what decent and civilized people are saying, and to be bluntly honest, the ONLY place where I've seen the word "uppity" used to describe Barry "Goldwater" Obama has been.....on Skins's island.
Of course, since I can't hear, I miss what's being said on television or radio, but I'm sure this "uppity" thing is something the Obamaite primitives HOPE this side is saying.
Most decent and civilized people dislike Barry "Goldwater" Obama not because he's too big for his britches, but because he's a rabid wild-eyed far-left-wing extremist.

30. "Uppity" is used for people who are supposed to be subordinate.
Like "uppity" woman, "uppity" African-American.
You'd never hear the term "uppity" or closely related terms used to describe a white man.
It's only relevant in describing someone who fancies themself above their appropriate station in life.

11. I mute Harold Ford whenever he speaks. He is so ill-equipped to speak on any issue.
He's all about protecting himself/making himself as appealing to conservative America as he can.
At any cost. Ugh.
Oh my. Another Mao tse-Stalin primitive:

12. There's the chair of the DLC doing what he does best
Sucking up to Republicans at the expense of the party. Legitimizing their talking points, dragging the discourse as far right as possible.
Honestly, we need to stifle these "centrists"....as usual, they are working against the nominee in a Presidential election (c.f. Kerry and Gore).

13. Ford is an asshole who prefers to pretend...
...that racism doesn't exist. Somebody should remind him he's not running for anything in the south right now.

15. Harold Ford need to get real and stop trying so hard to be accepted by right wing, after the republicans ran that racist commercial against him in 2006. Harold Ford need to wakeup to reality.

22. We're responding by calling the attacks on Obama for what they are. Racist dogwhistles. Arrogant/presumptuous = "uppity." When Morning Joe started on that jag first thing this morning, I sent them an email right away warning them to not do down that racist past. He received a barrage of emails like mine and thought better about that line of attack..er..discussion this morning.

31. You know, they always said "It takes one to know one"
I guess ol' Harold ain't uppity enough, what with serving the DLC and all.
You know, if I ever meet Harold Ford in person, despite my loathing of his politics, I'd buy him a beer.
And that goes for Hillary Clinton and Bela Pelosi and any other (D) whom the primitives Hate, too.
