HBO Def 'Comedy': 'I Hate George Bush Because He's a Cracker'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/25/2007 9:45:20 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

How quiet is it Chez Finkelstein on Christmas morning? Quiet enough that I actually resorted to my HBO on Demand re-run channel and decided to check out a two-minute Def Comedy short. I wasn't looking for trouble, let alone grist for the NB mill. But here's what turned up. A comedian named Patrice O'Neal. And these were the very first words out of his mouth:

Boring “comedians,” grinding out the last bit of topicality in the final year of his presidency. How original. I wish Pres. Bush nothing but peace and good times when his term is done. He’s had a rough presidency—90 percent not his fault.

kind of a self-parody, like somebody talking about why he’s been programmed a certain way.

"I just don't like him because he's a Cracker"

I would guess this "comedian" would be among the first to riot if somebody said they didn't like HIM just because he's a stupid [n-word]

Hello, how’re you doin? My name is Patrice O’Neal and I’m disturbed by the fact that I think every black person hates George Bush.
Now I’m one of them.
But the fact is I don’t even have a good God——— reason why I don’t.
I just don’t like him because he’s a cracker.

alrighty then. Now that the racial slur "cracker" can be used against the white people I guess the N word is back on the table and everything is peachy keen, right? - didn't think so.

Knowing he was named after the communist, Patrice Lumumba, helps explain where he got his political bent.

Only a little OT (IMHO):

Bill O’Reilly complains that entertainers, his example is Sean Penn, won’t go to the Middle East to entertain the troops like Bob Hope did.

My take: most entertainers are flaming libs. They can easily find receptive audiences for their opinions here in the States. If they went to a war zone, the troops likely would be less receptive to their continual rants about the CinC. Thus they stay away.

Def Comedy is just another example in an endless string.

I'll wait until Al Sharp-Ton and Jesse Jackass condemns these latest racist outrages.


Oh wait - I forgot they only condemn white racism.

Sorry.

Well, you know, if we’re not going to raise a ruckus about this being racist, then maybe we have it coming. Same with Christians—I’m not saying we should issue fatwas, but we need to at least stand up for ourselves, and when we see this kind of injustice (and that’s what it is), we need to squawk about it. Loudly.

And oh, let’s not call it “reverse” discrimination. It’s plain old DISCRIMINATION, period. The term “reverse” suggests that only one group can discriminate, and as this article shows, that’s simply not the case.

Oh c'mon man. Freedom of speech protects anyone's right to say whatever they want! You're being unfair about this. A white comedian calling someone a n***** would be just fine.

Oh wait, Michael Richards...

I know you all think this is unimportant..but it's not. It's happening all over the media that young people listen to. And contrary to what you all think, some of them do, and will, vote.

It's been drummed into the youth that being a Republican is EVIL...that Republicans are mean hypocritical religious zealots. However, being a Democrat is cool. That's not important you say? Wait until election day.

We are bombarded every day with anti-Republican messages in the least likely places. It will have an impact.

” I wish Pres. Bush nothing but peace and good times when his term is done. He’s had a rough presidency—90 percent not his fault.”

I agree! Just look at the shape of the country today in relation to everything that has happened since President Bush took office.

I shudder to think where we would be with a RAT in office or even many of the so called Republicans now seeking it.

Well, I will not give him a pass on his immigration stance and bending over backwards to cooperate with the ultra-liberal democrats. He should have shown stronger leadership on those issues—but I hear ya.
