Hey wait a minute here. My dad looks like Richard Petty. So is the Speaker saying
that my dad would look like a drunken felon also? Be careful what is being said. My dad
was a God fearing hardworking man before he died. Now I tell you I take offense if
someone looked at my dad’s picture and made that remark.

I love NASCAR. Just got back from the Charlotte Race this past weekend. I can truly
say the people at these races are by far some of the nicest people I’ve had the
pleasure of meeting. Call it redneck or whatever, NASCAR Fans know how to have fun
without robbing, mugging, fighting, and having run-ins with the law. It goes to show
these far left liberals as usual KNOW nothing. I challenge any of them to come to
Orangeburg, SC at SCSU and attend one of their home football games. The citizen’s
have to lock the doors and stay off the streets. The people who attend these games
rule and trashes the street. It’s definitely not safe. Can you imagine if you have
the same amount fans in Orangeburg that they had in Concord? Orangeburg would look as
if Sherman made a return trip through the south.

Liberal hypocrites of the week: John Edwards and certain Washington state Dem lawmakers

Every once in a while, you just have to stop and marvel at the stunning amount of liberal hypocrisy that exists in this country today, most of it committed unchecked. I’ve talked about it numerous times at this blog before, most recently over th…

What did you mean ” a black “? Maybe I am reading it wrong. Maybe you could have said a black person. Just my two cents.

I would tell #3 that Coulter is not an elected official and you just showed your ignorance by dismissing the man’s power of just being in Washington state. Coulter as a unelected American can say what ever the hell she wants however when white elitest liberals on the coasts of America denigrate those of us who live in the vast red of the best country in the world is it any wonder I/We hope that the coast gets a large dose of Global Warming and is flooded.

Uh, Very Liberal, you’re missing a big difference. People CHOOSE to watch NASCAR. If I can’t take the piss out of that, what else is protected? Is “American Idol” a belief system which I should have to respect? What about dwarf tossing or competitive eating? Should denigration of these sacred rituals be an offence under law?

Yes, substituting Black or Latino would qualify as hate speech, but nobody suggested that except you. I have said some very nasty things about mosquitoes, and if you substituted the word Black or Latino into those truly hate-filled utterances, I would and should be regarded as racist, but what idiot would try to do that? I could turn the Gettysburg address into the communist manifesto if you let me substitute enough words!

Jesus, you really are a NASCAR fan.

Hello All,

My tag says who I am, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t think you all are absolutely right.

I grew up around NASCAR there are plenty of liberals who love NASCAR, so please don’t return the stereotype that the cretins of Washington state propagated.

It would and should qualify as hate speech. Just substitute black or latino as one reader suggested, and everybody would jump all over the speaker.

Maybe a good strategy would be to ask the ACLU to make a position statement regarding these remarks by legislators.

Why was the NASCAR fan standing in the frozen juice aisle with a glazed look on his face?

Because the orange juice said “concentrate”.

Glib Fortuna,

And the breakdown of that Patterico post can be found here.

The short summary is many of the instances Patterico cites are from comedians, etc. Those cited from people who could legitimately be named “leaders” of liberal thought are typically years old. You could find far more examples than this in just one month of Coulter columns.

Leagaleagal,

The Seaquist quote is genuine. The greater context is a debate over WA providing funding for a new NASCAR track in Kitsap county (near Bremerton). Some further discussion of the matter may be found here.

Yes, it is okay to insult NASCAR fans. It’s also easy and fun.

You see, your ‘white’ is protected by law, but the ‘trash’, you’ll have to defend on your own. Best of luck.
