this is the kind of preemptive charge of racism that will cause him to lose support incredibly quickly. i guarantee you whatever he's faced to date, is nothing like what W, and Clinton, and Reagan, faced everyday of their presidencies. if you can't deal with it, better not run, it comes with the territory.
you've offered no proof for your assertion- can you draw us a time line? and as i noted, all webb would have had to do was stop using it- he didn't, even after the debate, where it clearly took on anti-semitic overtones. as far as it being "universally" regarded as latino, i'm sure that's why this guy was named Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian after a 1000 years of Fredericks and Christians, his parents thought: let's get our latino on!
You're the one with the assertion. You draw the timeline. If you had shown even the slightest ability to respond reasonably when you've been proven wrong beyond any conceivable doubt, I'd waste my time doing it. Being who you are though, I'd give you the timeline with plenty of links and you'd say I liked to dress up like a lady. Facts are facts: the use of Felix WAY predates the revelation that Allen has Jewish roots. It was being used before the Macaca incident which was well before the Jewish stuff. If you dispute this, you prove it. You can't because you're wrong. Also: you're dumb. I've said several times it was stupid to use it just because it's a stupid, sophomoric thing to do. But it clearly did not have any of the undertones you suggest. As has been repeatedly pointed out to you more times than I care to count, Felix is not a name that registers with ANYBODY as a Jewish one any more than Jason, Fred, Bob or Pierre (the name of my Jewish great uncle). The questioner could have as easily said, "Your grandfather Pierre, for whom you were given your middle name, was Jewish.... etc." And it would make just as much sense to, in light of that, suggest that the use of "Pierre" "clearly took on anti-semitic overtones." And it would be just as stupid. It would be impossible to make you look dumber for this line of reasoning than Sam already has. Give up already, dude. You're making an ass of yourself.
I see you've softened on your former position as THE most gay-friendly poster here. Still hilarious. You've posted approximately zero times here to advocate for gay rights apart from vaguely saying you're for them. You've posted approximately zero times to denounce the anti-gay bigotry of the Church, the Pope, the military, those landscapers that refused service to gays, any of the states that have passed amendments to their Constitutions to ban gay marriage or your hero George Bush -- the single most anti-gay president in the history of this country. Your entire contribution on this controversial topic has been to make bizarre, repeated references to "hot, sweaty, gay sex" and to suggest that my girlfriend is a man. You're more gay friendly than those who call homosexuality a sin or suggest there should be laws to discriminate against gays, but that's about it. And that puts you in the lower half of gay-friendly posters on this board at best. You're a joke. On this as on so much else.
Are you suggesting that he wasn't called George Felix Allen pre-Macaca? Are you suggesting that Macaca wasn't before the Jewish stuff? No? Great! Shut up!
Nice to have Batman on record as calling the Pope a bigot. That's rich. ..and the libs wonder why people think they are arrogant, condescending, and out of touch with good Christian citizens....
LOL, W, CLinton and Reagan were subject to deliberate racist smear campaigns during their presidency? I mean, Clinton I guess I could understand, after all he did go against the full-scale GOP dirty tricks team, but the fact that he was from the south blunted what we politely call the "southern strategy" (as was his willingness to sign execution orders) You're correct in assuming that Nordic and Germanic peoples also used "Felix", adopted from their Roman colonizers as a common name. That's why it became so popular in Spain, (which the truest throwback to classical latin, more so even than modern italian - though it should be noted that the original St. Felixes all hailed from Italy or thereabouts) I'm not sure how the picture of this Nordic child somehow is supposed to conjure up images of synagogues. But good try! Anyway, basso, since that is latin and therefore obviously jewish, Let me wish you the Felixest Chanukah, IIRC it starts tonight. Hope at your sedar you sit down to some warm matzo crackers and salsa from Felix's Taqueria!
"Out of touch?" That's spectacular, dude. Your boy Bush has post-Watergate Nixonian approval ratings and 21% of Americans approve of his moves in Iraq. basso is the only poster on this board that is as "out of touch" as you are.
Nice try Bats, but obviously this has nothing to do with President George W. Bush's approval ratings. This has everything to do with arrogant, condescending liberals who refer to the Pope as a bigot being out of touch with good Christian citizens. How that was morphed into a judgment of the Iraq war strategy is quite a mystery.
tj's face must turn red and mottled when he remembers that the American voters just b!tchslapped his party into the minority. Rich Indeed!
i was referring, as i'm sure you know, to hate mail and death threats. as to the particulars of why someone might hate, well, that's up to the haters. but whether you get shot because someone hates blacks, or because someone hates republicans, you can get just as dead.
i have to say i find the fight-club dem mentality fascinating. this entire "debate" and with it all references to BalaCk Hussein Osama's name could have been ended hundreds of posts ago, yet you just couldn't let it go, and admit that the democrats can be just as guilty as the republicans in this regard. astounding! so, we get still more references to BalaCk Hussein Osama, and now we find that he's uniquely at risk for assasination. the more i hear, it makes me think there's just no way BalaCk Hussein Osama should run, there are too many issues, his name, BalaCk Hussein Osama, and his race, better just to stay home, let hillary become the sirst BalaCk female president, and 2nd BalaCk president overall.
Apparently, some people around the 'net are beginning to call Hussein Obama by the name of "dumbo ears". Interesting. Here is a photo of Hussein Obama during his rough upbringing on the mean streets of Hawaii. Man, this guy has street cred!
this post is so awesome, here are some names barack can use so that he isn't hiding his muslim christian, half black/white heritage. Luke Obama Tyrone Barack (southern black converting to muslim) Hansel Hakeem Barack (German Born Basketballing Muslim) Charles Denzell Obama (English born black actor who plays muslims in movies)
In other words, you've finally realized you are hilariously and embarassingly wrong about the whole thing but you can't admit it so you're going to your usual brand of uniquely unfunny, strange jokery. Cool. Got it. It's not really a Dem mentality; it's more of a basso is a big dummy and it's funny to slap him around mentality. You brought Allen into this thing to enlighten us all to the fact that Democrats had invented the middle name Felix for him in order to convince everyone he was a big fat Jew. Dude. How do we not swing at that? We keep knocking you off your mound with these hilariously sweet pitches and you just keep lobbing them up there. Of course, as has been pointed out to you again and again, Felix=Jew is in no way the same as Hussein=murderous tyrant or Osama=terrorist -- especially since Felix in no way equals Jew and especially since, as I keep telling you (whether you are too dumb and stubborn to hear it or not), Felix Allen predated Jew Allen by months. It would maybe be a comparable thing if Republicans started using the Hussein name in reference to Obama before Saddam was president of Iraq I guess. That is, if Felix in any way whatsoever evoked the image of Jewishness and if the Democrats in any way ever suggested it was a bad thing to be a Jew. But you were going to play this name game with Obama no matter what (and more bizarre and obtuse ones too, I'm sure, as you're the one that brought us the inexplicable "iRaq") so keep doing it. It's stupid, but we all expect stupid stuff from you. My interest here is not in stopping you from doing what you're obviously going to do -- my interest is in the extreme fun of batting you around like a half dead mouse.
