Tomasky Trashes The South: 'Reactionary', 'Fetid', 'Nuclear Waste Site' of Racial Resentment
newsbusters.org ^ | 12-8-2014 | Mark Finkelstein

Michael Tomasky is not content to argue, in the wake of Mary Landrieu's defeat, that Democrats should write off the South as politically unfriendly territory.  In his Daily Beast item of today, Tomasky goes to great lengths to trash the region in the ugliest of terms.

"Reactionary, prejudice-infested, fetid, reject[ing] nearly everything that’s good about this country, just one big nuclear waste site of choleric, and extremely racialized, resentment," is how Tomasky slurs most of the South, saying "almost the entire region" is as he describes it. 

Remind us now, Michael: just who's "choleric?" Tomasky then has the temerity to shed a crocodile tear, lamenting that his utter contempt for the South is "made even sadder because on the whole they’re such nice people! (I truly mean that.)"

Toward the end of his column, Tomasky even seems to favor secession, calling the South "[a] different country. And maybe someday it really should be. I’ll save that for another column."

Michael Tomasky, champion of the New Confederacy?  Who knew?

Because blacks in Missouri and New York were killed by police.

Again, it's not about race, it's about culture.

The poorest, most uneducated Democrats living in the squalor of a Detroit project have the same culture and moral values (or lack thereof) as multi-millionaire celebrity Democrats living in massive mansions in New York and Beverly Hills, regardless of the color of their skin.

It's that culture and moral decay that we don't want in our cities and homes.

Hard to argue with this part.

‘Tis a wonderful thing to have our suspicions about the ineptness of liberals confirmed.

The MSM doltbot might want to check the racial situation in Boston before saying anything about the south.

While he’s at it, perhaps he can explain how the supposedly superior MA residents could elect Dead Ted, Lurch, and Fauxahauntis. One would have to add the IQs of all three to reach room temp, and the combined morality of all three wouldn’t even reach that of your typical muslim (very small m intended) terrorist.

The Obama model is to make the blacks the palesinians, and the whites the jews, using every tool at his disposal to accomplish that.

So you actually are a racist. One meets so few of them in daily life.

“that Democrats should write off the South as politically unfriendly territory.”

The South has FINALLY, after almost 100 years, shed its past of racism, Jim Crow, and Slavery, by kicking out the Democratic Party, which was the primary supporter of all of the above.

Just had Thanksgiving in the South. A more pleasant area of the country I can’t imagine. Southerners are great. This guy’s a huge, stupid bigot.

Yeah, has he ever talked to the “rednecks” of New Jersey— who listen to Springsteen..... LOL. “Well, they ARE!”

None of these libs get that the schism is not class based but cultural, who we are as a Constitutional Republic and the people across the US who love this country rising up, and that race is the card played by marxists who hope to bring down the Republic. No Yankee gets any of this in their Progressive quest to “reconstruct” Southerners. Deo Vindice.

Actually, if we just walled off the Northeast, Chicago, and parts of California, we’d have our country back. Let them have the UN too.

Dead Ted was the bar Irish democrat Honey Fitz machine rainmaker and “elite” parlor Irish lying pol. Lurch— the elitist Haaaaaahvahd trust fund French democrat “to the manor born” Vietnam fake war hero pal of Dead Ted.

And Fauxhantas, the blue eyed white skinned “Cherokee” (the generic tribe of all faux Amerindians).... why she is the dream of the casino owning tribes of democrat cash machine land... to fund any and all lib machine pols. The ultimate fraud perpetrated.

The MAssholes HAVE to vote for this shiite— because to do elsewise put them OUT Of the club of “just so” elite banderlog monkeys. Deo Vindice.

He was born in that “metropolis of cogent thinking,” Morgantown, West Virginia. I guess it only proves that you will do most anything to get out of a dump!
