I wasn't familiar with this Damian Thompson person, but I shall be keeping an eye out for him from now on.

Nasty piece of work, Maureen Dowd. In the Barack Obama-worshipping New York Times over the weekend, she insinuated that Congressman Joe Wilson’s “you lie” outburst during the presidential address was inspired by racism:
The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
“Boy”, of course, is how some whites used to address black subordinates, even if they weren’t young. Maureen tries to cover her ass by including the caveat “fair or not”. I wonder if the Times lawyers insisted on that, or whether she thought it actually made her suggestion less outrageous.
Either way, I can’t see a British newspaper lawyer allowing her to get away with that snide “boy”, or with this:
But Wilson’s shocking disrespect for the office of the president — no Democrat ever shouted “liar” at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq — convinced me: Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it.
This isn’t a case of limey gutlessness.

Maureen Dowd is certifiable plus she needs a man or something.

I guess this twit and the New York Times just make $hit up !
The only reason I checked this thread out is in hopes of copping a photo of CZJ.
Actually, if you read the entire article, he uses that line right at the end.
Well, I am glad the laws in this country won’t land her in hail for speaking, that is why we have a first amendment, it is supposed to apply to everyone. That said, she is a dipsh**(I hope some of you are going by the rules on this thread).
Correction to comment #9, Hail = Jail.:) Sorry.
Great job, Mr. Thompson for calling Maureen Dowd out on her stupidity. Joe Wilson should sue her dumb butt for libel.
Even a desperate Chinese man wouldn’t have her.
Liberal white guilt at its finest!
OK...but, is it really necessary to omit Dowd from ones hopes and wishes?
Mark Levin was saying this earlier tonight.
Rather saying to her “you’re crazy”...I hope she can hear the unspoken “bi**ch”. So the full sentence would be “I read your article Maureen, and frankly, you’re crazy, bi**h”.
Can you hear that Mo?
Damian Thompson...not to be confused with LaDainian Tomlinson.
“Maureen Dowd” “disgusting” - it ends right there!
Conservatives say plenty of things that would land us in court in England.... So let UK have their libel laws and we have ours. I like it that way
“No confetti. All right, go race cards, go race cards. We need more race cards. All race cards! All race cards! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more race cards. I want all race cards to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more race cards. What's happening to the race cards? We need more race cards.
“We need all of them coming down. Go race cards- race cards? What's happening race cards? There's not enough coming down! All race cards, what the hell! There's nothing falling! What the f*** are you guys doing up there? We want more race cards coming down, more race cards. More race cards. More race cards”
America’s oldest teenage slut trying to remain relevant.
My thought too when I read that.
Even idiots are allowed to speak freely here and that's how it should be.
I found this quote somewhere today while surfing and it is appropriate for all the charges of racism towards us who marched. Feel free to spread it around, LOL.
“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right.
Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”
“President Theodore Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star”, May 7, 1918
No self-respecting man would touch that skank with a 10 foot pole.
Actually the term "boy" has been used to address servants for centuries and in many different cultures. The film "Casablanca" provides a modern example.
I'm oh so weary of the lies of the left.
Oh, btw Maureen. You are a tool of the left and we know it.
Maureen Dowd virtually yelled “FIRE” in a crowded theater.
She purposely stoked this....to keep her name out there.
She sucking on a martini olive...laughing her ass off.
Truth in reporting.
Sorry, but...I’d Hit It!! LOL~
This might seem a mean thing to say about an old lady, but I really hope she croaks soon.
The Brits have a way with words - and ideas - and fair play and and and... I would subscribe to that paper if it weren't sooooo far away...
RTFT!
Correct, but I hear that Thompson also likes Campbell's Chunky Soups. I mean what strait man doesn't? It's got more of everything, am I right?
she writes like a handful of race baiters here do
The only consolation I have when I hear this witch’s name is that it won’t be too much longer until the old bag goes the way of Ann Richards and Molly Ivins.
And, if that’s too “politically incorrect” for some of you, I don’t really give a crap.
Maureen Dowager....just an Old Two Fisted drunk...
a Sea Hag.
Mo, Mo, Mo--that's the delirium tremens talking--
Throttle back on the bottle, you bitter old bitch, and the spiders will quit trying to get under your door--
--and then, Maureen, no one will want you.
LOL!.....yep, put ‘er outta her misery......:)
