Orders for Paula Deen cookbook surge
Advance orders for Paula Deen's new cookbook have surged since the Food Network and Smithfield Foods axed her for using a racial slur.
Orders for "Paula Deen's New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up" surged on Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) by nearly 1,300% in the last 24 hours.
The cookbook was ranked 115th on Tuesday, compared to a ranking of 1,592nd on Monday
"Paula Deen's New Testament" is not available until October.
Another cookbook, "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible," jumped 114% to Amazon sales rank 350, from 750 in the prior 24 hours.
Deen's agent did not immediately return a message from CNNMoney about the book sales.

2. In this economy, being a bigot might just be the one niche still open for entrepreneurs.
You guys are the bigots. :bird:

3. it's like the Chick Fil A wars all over again
Suthern Christian Krackers are upset that some Yankee network cutoff a good ol girl for using a perfectly acceptable word int heir eyes, so now they're gonna stick it to em and buy her shit and eat at her nasty ass buffet.
I assume their preachers will tell them from the pulpit to buy Good Sister Deen's stuff.
That'll show em
That is racist right there!!!!!

their approval of any kind of bigotry. I really never cared for Paula Deen's recipes...too much fat.
Chick-Fil-A did not make racial slurs. God, stupid is strong!!!!!! :mental:

6. By probably the same racist sobs
as the ones supporting all the hate on President Obama
Paula Deen is a Democrat and Obama supporter. She is one of yours.

15. Nah, bad press is good press
Just make sure to spell my name right.
It's an old saying, and it applies.
I could not physically eat her food for multiple health reasons. But if you are into southern food...it is good cooking.
She's what she is, but as a cook, in her style of cooking, she's good. So people who like that...well...
I also suspect, without qvc y'all and food network...y'all this will be short termed.
Now, the cooking expert.

18. Unfortunately, most white people in this country are bigots.
The appalling comments I have seen from the ignorant defending that racist prick are incredible. Deen is the image of what is wrong with this country: a woman who seems "sweet" on the surface is actually a raging racist asshole. And the stupid bigots who defend her think they are right.
This country is doomed. And rightfully so.
Everyone is prejudiced regardless of race and ethnicity. DU'ers are the worst as they hide behind tolerance. Liberals are the most bigoted and hateful people I have come across. Anger and bitterness comes hand in hand with hate.

20. God Bless America.
The more controversial a product is, the more people inexplicably want to buy it.
Witness the sickening mad rush to buy AR-15s after Sandy Hook Elementary.

When you redefine bigot to mean anyone who holds an opposing view point than you have, then yes there are a whole lot of bigots.
Leftists are really good at redefining terms in order to suit them.
I'm sick of the double standard in this country, Chris Rock can tell Cracker jokes all he wants, but if a white comedian ever said anything even jokingly against blacks he would be tarred and feathered. The left screams they want equality, they don't. If there was equality either everyone could make racist jokes or no one could.

Boy, The DUmmies sure have changed their tune about Paula. When Queen Moochelle was on her show, they were spouting off about how great she was. If the DUmmies would make up their mind once in awhile, life would go alot easier on them.

Paula Deen campaigned for Barack Obama.
For that reason alone, I won't be buying her book.
-
There isn't a single DUmmie over there that can say they have never uttered that word.
Not a one. Any claims otherwise, would be a lie.
Then again, Dummies lie, always, DUmmies lie.

That is why I don't feel sorry for her. She votes for the people who are responsible for this PC environment that this country has become.
She can

Paula Deen reminds me of the democrats I grew up around, family and friends. My Dad was a union man through-n-through. My mother was a housewife. They weren't bad people at all. They were just really unaware of the ways of the real world. They weren't actually bigots either. They just had no reason to think about black people one way or the other. As long as the black folk stayed on their side of the highway, everything was right with the world.

I swear sometimes I think Freeper and I are twins, I feel the exact same way. I was never really a Paula Deen fan, and had no idea what her political affiliation was, but after finding out? it makes me chuckle a bit, I feel the same way about the voters of Ohio where only 40% of people approve of Obama, and I feel the same way towards those whose States that are coal producing States who voted for Obama and other Democrats, you voted for it? you

Yep we are heartless. :rotf:
My mother in law is complaining on Facebook about how a small town here in FL is outlawing sagging pants, she doesn't think that the government should tell people what to wear but every 2 years she votes for the democrats. I don't understand how anyone can pull the lever for the democrats when their message is big government and control over everything. I can understand not trusting the repukes because they do the same thing while preaching small government, but when you vote for democrats year after year then lament how much control the government has, you brought it on yourself.

I've been to Savannah to her restaurant, very good food and the price was decent. My wife is a BIG fan of Paula's, she's from WV, and could care less how twisted ones panties get over what someone else says.
Speaking of WV, despite being VERY democratic, they didn't vote for Barry either time.

But Virgina and Pennsylvania did, as did Ohio, Colorado etc.

What does being a person 30 years ago have to do with people that have in that time been educated and changed their minds in the last years have to do with a freaking cook ?
Who says using words in the language used at that time is a raciest ?? Just a word you know, sticks and stones as I was taught.
I once asked Hubby if he being raised in the city of Haverhill Mas. was ever called a Wop. He had no idea what I was talking about. He also had no idea what a greaser or A spade or Crow was. He had heard the N word but felt more poor whites were the white N's then the blacks.
Now he was over 50 years old when I asked him, this man had had no idea what I was talking about. I did not know him until he was in his late 40's he had lived in Waco TX for a few years but had no idea what a Spic was. He had somehow survived all those years without coming into contact with any racists.
I began to wonder if this man just wasn't paying attention or if he was afraid to tell me the truth. Nope after 20 years I see he has no problem with anyone if they are honest.
Me as a Navy brat traveling about I heard most every word casting aspersion on others and coming home at last was called a Frog.
I rebelled as kids will and set out to meet everyone as different from me and my kids. We had a ball, met some cultures that we still today follow a few times a year and we eat the foods of every culture except dog meat, goats eyes or grubs and snake, sorry Texas rattle snake is not on my menu, nor is bull testicle.

Who the hell is Paula Deen, and who gives a rat's ass what she has to say about anything other than cooking?
Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, yeah, they're Dumpster DIvers, ain't they? They know nothing about cooking other than bein' a behind McDonalds DUmpster chef.
" Wadda ya think?"
"Well smells okay to me. Give it to NadaBrain, she'll eat anything!"

True, but my little corner of SW VA went 62-37% Romney. Northern and Eastern VA elected Barry Bigears.

We have lib posters on my other forum who love to use that word. One in particular likes to try to put words into other peoples mouths. When he see the word "negro", he replies "Your really meant to say Ni**er didn't you. Then he proceeds to assert that the word "negro" is racist.
