I’ve read some really lame post from you but this one… never mind, not worth the time to respond

Glad to see you didn’t.

Put this in the context of a torturous post on the misuse of language, and well, I think it’s kinda funny.

Hillary’s fake “multilingual” schtick

“Hillary” and “fake” in the same sentence.

Two words, pretty much sums it up.

Too busy being a capitalist today, last day of the month and all, to have missed this. They are probably long gone, so I won’t waste too much time, the excellent commentors already hit the home runs.

My only thought at the moment, if you can’t see right through Hillary Clinton, you are truly blinded by ideology.

Hillary must be doing something right if this is all you can come up with. Jeez, you guys are falling down on the job….

Okay, why is Hillary sitting in a CHURCH talking Marxist class division class envy politics to an African American audience? Why are they so stoked when she, the daughter of upper middle class comforts, talks about all their oppression, when they have average annual incomes that are jaw-dropping to a typical African fellow, in say, Guinea, and houses that would count as palaces to Africans who live with their entire family in a 9×12 room, no running water, charcoal stoves for cooking, and share the toilet with five other families. Why does Hillary talk about slavery when it was eliminated in the United States by virtue of a huge civil war, the world’s two largest armies at the time having at it, bloodily, over 140 years ago. Yet, not a word for the real slaves who live nasty, brutish and short lives in other countries? How many generations have passed in the United States since slavery was eliminated? So, why does she bring it up? Not a single “white person” in the USA has even a great-grandparent who could speak of those days. Are there not issues that are more timely and urgent?
The phoney accent is the least of the problems of Hillary.

Oh, come on honora! I would make fun of any politcian who faked an accent to pander to a crowd!!! I can’t even recall anyone ever doing this before. It’s beyond ridiculous. To be honest, I can’t believe she is doing it. She may be wrong on all the issues, but she isn’t stupid. I find this sorta stupid.

Do you think Hillary is a drunk?

Rightwingsparkle on April 30, 2007 at 6:45 PM

With illusions of power

Did I mention that I had always been drinking at the time?

Do you think Hillary is a drunk?

;-)

These people have been disenfranchised by both parties.

Best we can come up with? Not at all, it’s just entertaining. And it’s really obnoxious that she talks like this to cheering black crowds (just like the crowds that cheer for Obama claiming that Bloody Sunday, an event that happened when he was 4, lead to his birth). And Bryan is right to point out that any Republican would have been destroyed if they would have implied that putting on the horrible accent is speaking another language. Not only would there have been forced apologies, they’d have to show up in interviews to explain themselves and apologize further, and the White House would be pressed to denounce the comments at press briefings. If the hypothetical GOP member held a ranking position on any committees, they’d be forced to resign those positions.

The issue here is mutilating or misusing words, i.e. “multilingual” and “polyglot”.

Entelechy on April 30, 2007 at 5:35 PM

That’s the point! Hillery is not speaking in another language. Yet, the News Maker reporter attempts to claim that Hillary is speaking in another language, other than the Americanized version of the Kings English. When she speaks like Cletus the Slack Jaw Yokel at a black church, that’s pandering, not bilingual.

And you focus on the way someone talks?
Pathetic, crass and moronic.
eminuu on April 30, 2007 at 4:16 PM

This is the 1st time this has happened ever. Nappy Headed Ho…never mind

Oh come on. You really think this is such a big deal? Actually, she has command of one more language than the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania, right? ;^)

honora on April 30, 2007 at 5:07 PM

Speaking to black audiences with weird, faked black-southern dialect? Uh…yeah. Don’t you, whitey?

As for the “current occupant”, he seems to have English, Texan and Spanish down pretty well. What has Billary got? Wellesley feminist and Beltway Gobbledegook? That’s only one language in two dialects…

can’t wait to hear her China Town speech….I Rove Hirriry !!!! Just kidding!

Last comment from me to you on this topic, because we’re not on the same track.

I think she used to do a much better southern accent when she was married to the governor of Arkansas. Seems to have lost the skill.

She’s not a polyglot: she’s a chameleon. Changes her skin as it suits her.

TexasDan on April 30, 2007 at 5:24 PM

You mean when she, ah, lived in the south? Conniving bitch.

Entelechy on April 30, 2007 at 5:24 PM

I was questioning your inference about losing one’s culture and asking if Thompson will get a pass if he changes accents from time to time is a reasonable question.
