Before I post this… It is from Rosy’s free verse A.C. Moore.( ? crap to me, but hey… I’m an average regular white guy so what do I know about gay lez poet stuff?).

i will now paint
with my 11 yr old
army men always for him
since that day in september
when everything changed
for US

I take this to mean that the 11 yr old is smarter than Rosie. Either that or he’s just messin with her.

She doesn’t remind me of anything funny.

Barbara, what have you wrought?

Vincenzo,

You forgot about the ever-popular blondes. We wouldn’t want to “offend” them, now would we? Nice job, V.

How’s that for offensive, Soothsayer? Crybaby self-imposed “victim.” Get over it.

There’s a brief scene in the movie El Dorado (me referencing John Wayne movies–who’d have thunk it?), where a young James Caan “disguises” himself as a Chinese man, at least according to the racist Hollywood stereotype of the day. It makes me wince (and I’m not Asian), but at least the movie was made back in 1966. Rosie, poster child for the “tolerant” Left, did a very similar imitation in 2006, and wonders how anybody could dare to be offended. Imagine the scheisse storm if, say, Rush Limbaugh had made the same comment.

I think the Asian-American Journalists Association should just make a joke about stupid, unattractive, man-hating lesbians on their website, and tell Rosie to “get over it” if she doesn’t appreciate the “humor”.

There are a lot of racists hiding out in the Conservative movement.

Soothsayer on December 9, 2006 at 3:24 PM

Allow me to do a little “soothsaying” of my own. Our fair blogger, the “Soothsayer”, will one day wake up from his crack-indulged ignorance to discover what a complete moron he’s been his entire life. After spending a lifetime finding offense where none exists, uncovering hidden meanings behind the off-handed remarks of others (only to discover said ‘meanings’ were brought on by his own delusions), and attacking other people for no reason of logic whatsoever, he discovers everything he knew was a lie perpetrated by left-wing lunatics (like himself) and chooses to leap from that ledge he’s spent a lifetime teetering on the edge of.

Wake up Soothsayer! You’re living a total lie.

“I certainly hope that one day they will be able to grasp her humor.”

What humor??? Maybe on a cruise ship, but surely no where else.

Rosie’s double standard…

In case you haven’t seen it, here’s Rosie O’Donnell’s impression of Chinese talking about her show:Now, I wouldn’t mind her simplifying of the most complex language in the entire world if it weren’t for the fact that she sees things as homophobi…

At least Michael Richards was angry when he said what he said. I wonder if Gloria Scumofthescumlawyer is going to be representing Asians and asking for a sit down with a retired judge?

I have never been able to stand watching “The View,” even before the arrival of that repulsive cow. It’s just a stupid format: “Look! We’re women — with our own TV show! Just for women!”

“The View” has always been geared to appeal to an audience of submorons. And the “fan mail” at Rosie’s blog just validates what I’ve always thought of the show and its audience.

…a rep for O’Donnell said, “She’s a comedian in addition to being a talk show co-host. I certainly hope that one day they will be able to grasp her humor.”

So, Rosie (or at least her rep) believes that “they” (asians) are too dumb to grasp her humor? This counts as an apology? I’m sorry you asian people are too dumb as a race to understand a joke?

Interesting apology style; not likely to be effective, but interesting all the same.

Excellent post, Vincenzo. I could not possibly have said it better myself. (And I won’t comment on Soothsayer’s embarrassing stupidity, because that would, undoubtedly, be taked as “offensive” to the mentally challenged …)

You are exactly right, Vincenzo. We are offended when we choose to be. One of the reasons I lean to the right and abhor the left is that liberalism is now devoid of humor and unable to laugh at themselves.

The only jokes that offend me are those that aren’t funny. I too am Catholic – but I thought “Dogma,” and other Keven Smith movies, were generally hilarious, so I was too busy laughing to be offended.

It is indeed the hypocrisy. For Rosie to spout out with “ching chong” babble is both remarkably unfunny (didn’t she once do comedy?) and breath-takingly hypocritical.

And THAT offends me. I hate hypocrites. (Something Soothsayer obviously misses … since he intentionally wrote the only explicitly offensive post on this thread. That, my friend, is hypocrisy.)

Great post, V. Thanks for my daily chuckle.

Perhaps we can put together a hierachy of “available outrage.” The higher you are on the list, the more outrage you are entitled to. You can also make fun of anyone on the list below you and not have to face criticism or the ire of the MSM.

-American-Indians
-Muslims (moved up the chart!)
-African-Americans
-Transvestites
-Homosexuals
-Latin Americans(not including Cubans)
-Females
-Jewish
-Catholic Female
-Caucasian Male
-Catholic Male
-Republican Male
-Republican Female
-George Bush

If i missed any group, let me know. Also, if you fall into more than one category, take the lower category, move up one space, and that is your hierachy level.

And my son’s Chinese name is Ching. He’s in Hong Kong at the moment, so in his absence, I am thinking of being offended for him. I mean, it seems by watching Rosie’s example that one can be offended if one wants to be, but certain “minorities” are not capable of being offensive no matter WHAT they say, so what the heck. I’m gonna try it out. I’m a woman, so I should have at least a little bit of offended cred, right?

So, should I claim to be in high dudgeon? Lash out by insulting a group of which I am not a member? Criticize the rest of you philistines for not understanding my edgy sense of humor?

I’ve never done this sort of thing before, though, so please help me out here, guys.
