BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The fate of Paula Deen's magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen, is still up in the air after a controversy over the Food Network host's use of racial epithets led to the end of her television contract.

"We are not in a position to discuss her magazine and contract right now," said Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, the president of Birmingham-based Hoffman Media, which produces the magazine. "A statement will be forthcoming later."

"We at Hoffman Media do not condone discrimination of any kind," DePiano said.

“Sgt. William Meeks: [to Patton, after the slapping incident got him relieved of command of the Seventh Army] One little dogface... one measly slap... that’s what done it.
Patton: [ruefully] Ah, George... I wish I’d *kissed* the son-of-a bitch.”

Agreed. The Paula Deen case shows how strong and how pervasive political correctness is.

No, you are wrong. Only ignoramuses use that word.
No, the REAL ignoramuses use "THE 'N' Word" as if they were holding a cross before Dracula.

If anyone used it around me, I would leave immediately.
And if you couldn't leave, would you assume the fetal position, as so many do? That's what gives these race pimps their power - the recoiling of the whites over some word a minority claims to be offensive.
Hell, haven't they ever heard of "Wop", "Kike", "Polok", ad nauseum? Where's all the breast-beating organizations complaining about those hurtful slurs? Oh wait, they shrugged them off and moved on with their lives.

Reread what you hatefully wrote first about Paula, as you ‘cursed’ her. These other strawman assertions you make about me and your imagined agenda would be laughable, silly even, if they were not so illustrative of a mental illness. You don’t think straight, Norm.

What is happening to Deen is a Black Ku Klux Klan lynching

Trayvon Martin calls himself No Limit N-—a.....and he is a hero. A white woman is having her career lynched

And the White Guilt Liberals will cheer on the Black KKK on this

"Use it at your own risk lady."

You enjoy making assumptions, don't you?

Can the self-righteousness. I repeat, it's one ethnic/racial slur of many, and it's just a WORD. It's slung around daily by blacks, so I'm just not feeling the moral outrage.

The word "honky", another racial term, originates from "bohunk", which was a derogatory word for Polish and Hungarian immigrants. Do you get worked up into a lather when you hear black people use it?

Somehow I doubt it.

Dance all you like. You are siding with an Obama supporting leftist and crying that people are glad karma bit her in the ass hard.. Period.

PS: Since I am not a witch or a VooDoo Bokun, I can’t ‘curse’ anyone.

Using a sledgehammer to kill a fly, as the saying goes.
George Orwell would have had a field day on this one. Big Brother could not have wielded more psychological power than these guys.
At least they cannot cart the woman off and subject her to torture.

I sent Deen emails urging her to NOT admit she ever said it, nor apologize. BIG mistake allowing herself to be made an example of...particularly after her falling out with Moochelle left her vulnerable.

Much like Bill Clinton, I feel your pain ;)

Eventually the idiots will figure out not only do people like us thrive on their liberal BS accusations, but it helps us make our respective points to the lurkers who are open to divergent viewpoints...and don’t feel like fighting the fanboys. Which ultimately helps wreck their mistaken positions.

Part of me wants them to keep crying because it makes exposing the vapidness of their positions easier, but ultimately it would be best for America and conservatism if they just acted like conservatives, not liberal sycophants.

Larry, being a negro, can tell the truth that a white man is forbidden to tell ... according to political correctness anyway.

Here’s PD’s exercise video with little, if at any, makeup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8udsFagkBQ

I’d probably skip to about the 4m mark to see her with the hat on backwards.

Absolutely. People get all wee-wee’d up when they realize Elder’s melanin content.
