The Reagan Wing Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.

NASCAR fans are not mouth breathing rednecks you stupid fuck. Many NASCAR fans are Teamsters, Longshoremen, grocery clerks, etc.
They are the lunchbox democrats. Of course you elite Seattle liberal pukes, that likely have never been to Kent Pacific Raceways or the oval at Monroe just make your ignorant assumptions based solely on the darkness you see while your head is firmly up your ass.
chucks
if it would've been Laura Bush getting booed at a union teacher meeting the usual suspects would be all over themselves about 'truth to power' etc and thinking it was a good thing.
it's classism. the seattle progressives don't care much for nascar (when's the last time you saw an audi or a volvo in one of those?) folks. and they have no idea what let alone where the Pac Raceway is located.
i do think it is bad manners to boo the first lady. i didn't like it when folks booed Laura Bush and I don't like it when they boo Michelle Obama. First Lady's are suppose to be non political symbols. Speaking of which, the greatest First Lady of all time was Jackie Kennedy. Recall her role as she epitomized grace under pressure during the events of Nov 22, 1963, and subsequent funeral of JFK.
First ladies should not be booed, no matter how much their husbands are loathed.
This president is pulling out all of the stops using children, first ladies, occupiers aka occutards, union bosses, welfare recipients, movie stars, foreign dictators,etc. as political symbols. However, when it comes to leadership, he is flaccid.
I was not referring to the disabled groups you work with. BTW, I found the actions of the Occupiers offensive and clueless and wasteful of our tax money for extended OT pay that they make necessary for the police. I don't have a problem in changing the reference to Occupier-parasites per your request and deleting the term Occutard.
Ms Hokinson, I don't recall seeing the first gent doing anything in public beyond standing with his wife. I have never seen him out being all preachy about what we should feed our kids or any other none of governments business issues.
Why would anybody boo a man that minds his own business?
there are probably some well intentioned normal people strewn in the Occupiers amongst the mentally ill and homeless and I don't mean recent college grads, typically jobless who think they can change the world...
i ran quickly , as soon as the double glass doors opened, manned by red-vested nerds in santa hats. It didn't matter that i wasn't exactly first in line , i sprinted out of line and passed scores of people without shame, manhandling an old woman out of the way to get into the door. The nerds did nothing, intimidated by my superior size and strength. I made a quick windsprint to electronics, grabbede a cart, and spied my prize- a single 35 inch Toshiba wiht built in DVD player. Some of my insider sources at the store had alerady informed me only one of these would be for sale on the day of black. Not taking any chances, i slipped on my gas mask and sprayed a wide perimiter of pepper spray around me as i loaded the large tv into my cart......

KVI am 570 KHz Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits.
Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
KTTH am 770 KHz Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
KPTK am 1090 KHz Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.

"First Lady's are supposed to be non political symbols." Pretty sure we are past women being symbols Putz, but I agree with the rest of your post.

not 'women' per se, it is the office.
if we had a woman president and the husband was the 'first gentleman' it would be the same concept.

First ladies should not be booed, no matter how much their husbands are loathed.
This president is pulling out all of the stops using children, first ladies, occupiers aka occutards, union bosses, welfare recipients, movie stars, foreign dictators,etc. as political symbols. However, when it comes to leadership, he is flaccid.
Posted by: KS | November 21, 2011 at 07:32 PM
Technically, it would have been more accurate to say;
First ladies should not be booed, no matter how much their husbands' policies are loathed.
Since they or whoever don't personally know the president, but their policies are what touch many.
