The Deplorables
Original Material | 9/10/2016 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 09/10/2016 8:12:44 AM PDT by Lazamataz

On September 9th, at a Democrat fundraiser in New York City, Hillary Clinton labeled half of Donald Trump's supporters as a "basket of deplorables" made up of "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic" people. Many opinion and news commenters have called it Hillary's "47% Moment", likening her comments to Mitt Romney's comment that 47% of the population would never vote for him. They express distaste for her comments and reject her premises and conclusion.

I would like to take a different tack: I feel we should embrace her comments, and wear them with pride.

The German Kaiser Wilhem II called the British Expeditionary Force a "contemptible little army" that the Germans should "exterminate" and "walk over". Rather than being offended, the BEF instead embraced the insult, giving themselves the nickname "The Old Contemptibles". This is brilliance, and we should emulate it.

We should nickname ourselves "The Deplorables".

To answer, point by point, Hillary's specific charges:

We are The Deplorables. Let us embrace the label, and wear it proudly!

WE ARE THE DEPLORABLES!

As others are suggesting, this can be a huge opportunity. Trump should have a lady singer get up on stage with him and sing:

We're deplorable
That's what we are
We're deplorable
Tho' near or far

I’m Deplorable (sung to Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable”)

I’m deplorable....
That’s what I am.
I’m deplorable....
Like Uncle Sam.
That’s what Hill’ry thought to call me,
And I must say, that I do agree,
That I’m deplorable, proud deplorable me.

Xenophobia is more like dilute-o-phobia.

Consider that EVERY other country in the whole blinkin’ world gets to have and keep an identity. Only this despicable ‘Murrica has to be a blancmange no-mans-land.

Rednecks come in many colors
Yellow red tan white and black
But to a one they all stand proud and tall
They’re the strength of this country’s back

stick out those dethpickable red white and blue necks

I understand the hate. I get it. I really do.

But she just opened her wide ass up to some serious Alinksy-style mockery.

HAVE FUN WITH THIS! :)
