Top 9 potentially mitigating defenses for the “blackfacing” of Joe Lieberman

  1. “To be honest?  I was going for a George Hamilton thing and just sorta got carried away…”
  2. “Well, the Jews were very active in the Civil Rights movement.  So if you think about it, the whole thing is really kind of a compliment!”
  3. “You’re missing my point.  What I was trying to get across was something like, ‘Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony / Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why dont we?’ So you see, it was a message of healing, you stupid Zionist-humping wingnuts!  Christ, what is wrong with you people?”
  4. “Three words:  Shaft in Israel.”
  5. “Wait, why is painting Lieberman like a Black man a bad thing, necessarily?  Do you people have something against the negroes?  FILTHY RACISTS!
  6. “Sorry. But I was like, soooo totally baked when I did that.”
  7. “It just so happens that some of my best friends are black.  And Jewish.  In fact, were Sammy Davis Jr alive right now I’d pinch his cute little Jewblack ass and slip him a shiny penny, is how much I love these people!
  8. “Quick, over there!  Isn’t that Mel Gibson?”
  9. “You know whose fault this really is, don’t you?  Karl Rove’s.  And of course, the Jooooooos’*

    Just what is so funny about peace love and understanding, anyway?

    TW: Tolerance, even.

  2. Johnny Catbird says:

    10. “You ignorant Rethuglicans, that wasn’t ‘blackface’!  Leiberman was covered in oil from Halliburton!”

  3. eLarson says:

    I don’t think my comment at the HuffingPost will ever see the light of day.  I might have leaned on the sarcasm lever a tad heavily, but hey…

    She’s getting a pass from the commenters as I said she would.

  4. Eric J says:

    Did you know that there is an actual book Shaft Among The Jews?

  5. ahem says:

    Hey, Jolson did it.

    tw: Mammy. Now, how does it do that….?

  6. Prediction: Just as Dr. Vic made his reappearance on the previous topic, anus will make his reappearance here.

  7. Johnny Catbird says:

    11. HALLIBURTON!

  8. Erik says:

    Hey, Jolson did it.

    Don’t forget Ted Danson.  That went over well.

  9. So you see, it was a message of healing, you stupid Zionist-humping wingnuts!  Christ, what is wrong with you people?”….

    Ha ha ha… Hilarious.

    How ironic that you guys (blindly pro-Israeli bloggers to the right of Attila the Hun) would mock the official radical Arab-Islamist narrative on “Zionism”…

    FYI, America’s cherished Wahhabi “allies” (???), and, more generally, ALL fundamentalist schools of thought within Islam (knows as “Al-Salafi[s]” in Arabic) from the ultra-conservative “quietists” who silently took control of the majority of mosques in North America with massive funding from the Saudi embassy in Washington while George W. Bush and Dick Cheney chased imaginary “Mohammedan terrorists” amongst the Haitian and Hispanic communities of Miami, to the overtly “radical” jihadists who burn churches and Shiite temples in Pakistan and Iraq…etc. they all have one thing in common: paradoxical as it may seem, their main hero is the Hebrew Patriarch Moses, not Arabia’s homegrown Prophet, Muhammad Ibn Abdallah, the founder of Islam!

    This explains a lot about Islamic fundamentalism and the penchant of Hamas and Al-Qaeda ideologues for old-fashioned Old Testament cultural references and metaphors, with a deliberate emphasis on “the early Jewish Prophets” viewed as authentic “Bedouin believers” and “virile conquerors” that the Jihadis of today need to emulate…

    The Hebrew tribes who conquered the land of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua (Moses’ ruthless military commander) were indeed haughty Bedouins: Israelite invaders viewed themselves as “aristocratic nomads” and despised Canaanite “sedentary villagers” called “Kephérîm” in Aramaic and Hebrew…

    Hence the word “Kfâr”, a racist word which means “village” or the dwelling of “inferior peasants” and other “ignorant gentiles”.

    Quite ironically, this original Jewish concept was later adapted and adopted by Islamic fundamentalists the world over in its Arabized form: “Al-Kâffer” which translates as “dirty Infidel”.

    This ancient Hebrew word then moved from Medieval Arabic into 17th century Flemish (Dutch Afrikaans “Kaffir”) and was used by South Africa’s proto-Nazi colonial thugs to designate black slaves…

  11. Johnny Catbird says:

    Dr. Vega,

    Interesting point, but you forgot a word.  It starts with an “H” and ends in a “alliburton”.

    Just trying to help.

  12. Erik says:

    Dr. Vic,

    Did you say something after “Attila the Hun”?  Because I don’t speak Shrieking Rant.

    TW:  Lack of coherence.

  13. Bryan says:

    Ever stop to think that Bill Clinton was called “the first black President” yet in the picture it’s Lieberman (arguably, “the whitest white man in America”) that gets the Midnight Maybelline treatment?

    I’m just sayin’.

  14. ahem says:

    Speaking of being to the right of Attila the Hun, where’s Verc when you really need him?

  15. Amy says:

    Johnny C.:  Didn’t your momma ever tell you it’s not nice to sneak up on someone and shout “boo!”?  You’re gonna give poor Dr. V the vapors with all that H word talk.wink

  16. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Some people believe everything they read. But some people are smarter than that.

  17. Johnny Catbird says:

    Literacy was invented by dead white men who owned slaves.  That’s why all my posts are written using Sumerian cuneiform, scanned, translated and posted. 

    It works pretty well, overall, though some words don’t translate as camel as others.

  18. TODD says:

    Finally a topic Dr Vic vasectomy can get REALLY excited about. Yes those marauding wandering Jews and that ruthless military leader Joshua. Vic you truly are jaded aren’t you?…..Oh an the best part was “Mohammed, the pedophiliac founder of Islame”… pathetic…….

  19. Amy says:

    Good point, Jeff.  And some people only read what corresponds to their fever swamp imaginings.  Anything else is…is…HALLIBURTON!  NEOCONS!  JOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!11! 

    TW:  Still looking for signs of sanity on the left.

  20. shank says:

    Malkin’s old topleft picture is hotter than her current one, which is merely a 7.7 or 8 on the standard scale; whereas her last one was a solid 8.5-9.

  22. ahem says:

    I hope Jane Hamsher is enjoying the public spanking she’s receiving at the hands of Michelle Malkin. And to think that Liberman’s going to win ultimately, anyway. Ha! Poetic.

  23. I mock your mocking of my mocking of your mocking of the official radical Arab-Islamist narrative on “Zionism.”

    And I mock the mocking you’re about to engage in of my mocking of your mocking of my mocking of your mocking.

    We’re gonna mock, gonna mock around the clock tonight!

  33. natesnake says:

    There’s that smell again.  Did someone fart or shit themself?

    Oh, hey Dr. Vic.

  34. Alan Kellogg says:

    Some people are simply green with envy over the fact that some Democrats have the courage to think for themselves.

  35. natesnake says:

    Does this mean that Joe has Soul-Mentum?

  36. JD says:

    Dr. Vic is a kind of crazy all his own.

    Dr. Frisch, even moreso than normal, seems to becoming more and more unglued by the minute. 

    I have a feeling that the local police and a judge will be shaking their heads in utter amazement by the time this plays out. Wow!

  37. Big E says:

    10) Easy wingnuts, remember: you are the racist Republican Assholes and I am the morally and politically correct paragon of virtue and tolerance.  I was just trying to adjust the contrast on the picture to make Joe look a little less pasty white but my photoshop skills are teh suxor.  Feel free to resume your usual sister humping, NASCAR watching, trailer park living, crystal meth synthesizing, chimpy mchitlerburton worshipping lives.  We will resume our usual position as overseer of the african american community.  We tell them when to become outraged and I don’t appreciate you confusing them.

  38. If I mock-slap you and you mock-slap me

    And we mock-slap both the same…

  39. McGehee says:

    It’s a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham.

    Do you eat sham with a spork or a foon?

  40. Johnny Catbird says:

    Do you eat sham with a spork or a foon?

    I don’t think you’re supposed to eat sham.  It’s not kosher.

    Or halal.

  41. natesnake says:

    Sham is like Spam, except it’s a combination of shit and ham.  And no, it’s not Kosher.

  42. Big Paul says:

    Ok, if that was really Dr. Vic, am I the only one impressed that he actually quoted the Fantastic Four?

    And, at the same time, am I the only one deeply amused that Dr. Richards made so much more sense than Dr. Vic ever has?

    Is that just me? 

    TW: Very odd to actually enjoy a Dr. Vic post.

  43. Additional Blond Agent says:

    Some people are simply green with envy over the fact that some Democrats have the courage to think for themselves.

    Dr. Vic believes in Cthulhu??????

    Ai! Ai! Cthulhu F’taghn!!

    tw: this guy is way out of my range

  46. That pic wasn’t doctored at all: it’s from last year’s Democratic Party Telethon for Katrina Victims.  Without Lou Rawls to emcee, Bill and Joe were doing a duet:

    You’ll never find

    No matter the hurricane from which you run

    A Party that patronizes you

    The way we do…

    That’s not blackface. He’s fighting severe melanoma (like what McCain was treated for a few years ago) – and doing one heck of a job, I say.

    That’s not blackface. He’s impersonating a Hezbollah fighter in a Beirut bunker after an IDF missile has made its forced entry – he’s on his way to those 72 virgins.  It’s the face of the enemy.

    Personally, there were quite a few other ways I would have preferred to get an adrenaline jolt from, the first time that happened to me… Uh, Sir Winston aside.

  48. Mark says:

    Jane Hamster, blogrodent, meets the cat. Darwin Award for Jane.

  49. I think the blogosphere should tag Hamsher: Jane “Sho’ Nuff” Hamsher.

  50. Major John says:

    N.O.,

    I seem to remember “The Case of Victorino de la Vega” by H.P. Lovecraft…or was that “The Vicotrino Four” by Marvel?

  51. dRoast says:

    Q: What is Dr. Vic’s favorite bedtime story?

    A: “Green Eggs and Hamsher”

  52. stoo says:

    Has the collective mind (complete with heel and toe reinforcements) of Glen Greenwald condemned Hamsher yet?

  53. Denny Crane says:

    Jeff,

    What is your policy with regard to comments about Frisch?  Would you prefer that we don’t turn your comment pages into a Frisch-fry?  Or can we post our experiences around here?

    TW:  Life.  Yeah, I should get back to mine.

  55. Phone Technician in a Time of Roaming says:

    Ok, if that was really Dr. Vic, am I the only one impressed that he actually quoted the Fantastic Four?

    Personally, I would have been more impressed if he had realized that “Thinker” in this context was a proper noun needing capitalization, but it’s certainly a step up for him.

    The original message was received at 2006-08-03 17:35:18 -0400

    from postoffice.local [10.0.0.1]

    I emailed crazy Jane this

    I knew where to find you Jane, to the left of the back of the beyond. . . . has Lamont called to tell you, “Jane, stop the crazy thing!”. I can see Lamont, all weekend like George Jetson on the treadmill trying to damage control your actions.

    Thanks, babe, next January ole’ Joe Lieberman will be sworn in as your Senator.

    Your actions will be remembered like the Wellstone memorial. You may well even have a verb named after you, “Hamsher” to insert your yourself in a campaign only to screw it up.

    Like, CT voter 1:  “Man that chick, sure hamshered Lamont’s campaing”

    CT voter 2: Yea, she sure was a pain in Lamont’s butt.

    CT voter 1: No, I mean HAMSHER, not hamster

    CT voter 2: I knew what you meant.

    I sent two more, I got this in return . . . crazy Jane is from Oregon, you know . .  .

    The following addresses had permanent fatal errors

  57. corvan says:

    God, I’ve missed all this.

  58. McGehee says:

    Sham is like Spam, except it’s a combination of shit and ham.

    So, you;re saying Dr.V. drinks it through a straw?

  59. Bill B says:

    It appears that what happened in Blackface-gate is that Ms Hamsher has grown too accustomed to operating in the snark-pits in which such things barely raise an eyebrow anymore. But now she’s working on a real world political campaign(her claims to the contrary being BS).

    So snark meets the real world and it isn’t pretty. The most stunning part of the whole mess is how Lamont completely disowned the netroots at the drop of a hat. Blogs? What blogs?

    Oh, the humanity.

  60. me says:

    Is Dr. Vic…Vega blaming Moses for both Islamic fundamentalism and for Dubya’s behavior?

    Or am I translating his spittle incorrectly?

  61. TODD says:

    “Is Dr. Vic…Vega blaming Moses for both Islamic fundamentalism and for Dubya’s behavior?”

    Well, lemme see, I dunno. But I want to hear MJ’s story…..

    Oh and where is Actus, I sure miss that magnificent bastard….

  62. stoo says:

    The most stunning part of the whole mess is how Lamont completely disowned the netroots at the drop of a hat. Blogs? What blogs?

    Hereafter known as the

    Hamsher dance.

  63. Big Man says:

    May Lamont will run next time in New Hamsher, rather tha CT.

  64. Big Bang Hunter says:

    Bill – How dare we question his loyalty!

    Gotta love the way the enthusiastic hard left keep peeing in their candidates cornflakes….

  65. McGehee says:

    Hamsher dance

    You mean this?

  66. Hosedragger says:

    Don’t judge me, monkey.

  67. schrebon says:

    Ah.  It’s funny when the paste eating moron gets his dander up.

    Take a couple dozen klonopin for your uncontrollable impotent rage problem.

  68. me says:

    Quick, where’s that guy that calls everyone a pussy?

  69. Pixie Pug says:

    I love the way the legal system works.

    Suppose I was some idiot, with an idiot claim of damages, and I searched high and low for a lawyer.

    Then I was served with papers, telling me to stop being an idiot. But since I was an idiot, I kept yammering and yammering. Then the legal system came and put me in the pokey. Being an idiot, I had quit my job and had no money (for a lawyer that didn’t want me anyway). So, now I find out that the wonderful legal system will get me a court-appointed lawyer!

    TW:Company…is coming, better dust.

  70. geezer says:

    Sham is like Spam, except it’s a combination of shit and ham.

    So, you;re saying Dr.V. drinks it through a straw?

    For that it would have to be a shamshake.

  71. CP says:

    What is IS? Is that it? Indeed it is. Or is it? rasberry

    TW:

    I just shiat my SELF.

  72. Big Man says:

    Maybe Deb and Jane can meet up in the Eugene pokey. I dunno, there could be worse lives for lesbians, no? Three hots and a cot and a shower full of hotties?

  73. Denny Crane says:

    I hit the jar, Jeff.  Just $20 ‘cause I need to save for another bottle of Sapphire.  A man’s gotta have his (hic!) priorities (hic!), you know.

    Do us all a favor (including her) and get her committed.

    TW:  Passed:  I really DID pass a bar once (but I’ve been celebrating the 20 years since).  Hic!

  74. Read this article by Gary Brecher on the Lebanese-Israeli war

  75. Big Man says:

    Hugh Hewitt has the hamsher verb—thanks to the Big Man—-

    In the space of a month, perhaps two new words courtesy the kooky left. frished and hamshered. Anyway, when I got to Wales I always order frish and hamsher and a pint. yummy

  76. Pablo says:

    Anyway, when I got to Wales I always order frish and hamsher and a pint. yummy

    That’s like Bangers and Mash, only filthy, right?

  77. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – From her “apology”…

    “…If you have a problem with something I’ve written, you know where to find me.”

    – Yes. Like under a rock maybe.

  78. Bill B says:

    “…If you have a problem with something I’ve written, you know where to find me.”

    That strikes me as a rather disturbing word formulation for some reason.

  79. Pixie Pug says:

    Dadgummit. I don’t get Hugh’s show for another hour.

  80. Big Bang Hunter says:

    Yes. It’s a not so vieled “Fuck you” to all the Rethugs. The stock answer the Libturds have been running with for 6 years+ whenever they screw the goose and get called on it.

    If I were Lieberman I’d make 100,000 copies of that pic….Title it… “This is what your Democratic party really thinks of Black American voters”, and circulate it as widely as possible. Give them back their bullshit in triplicate.

  81. Denny Crane says:

    Oops, my Amazon One Click was tied to a card I cut up last year.  I’ll try again.  Sorry.

  82. Hey, they aren’t done yet.  On Kos there’s some pics of Lieberman as a gay, confirming my suspicion that the Kossacs are either mentally or physically middle school age.

  83. Pappy says:

    So they put Lieberman in blackface and call him gay.

    Could be worse.

    They could call him Vietnamese and then ignore him while he died of exposure in some leaky boat in the South China Sea…

    TW: Politics is local. Except in CT, then NY gets involved.

  84. Bill B says:

    Where have we seen photoshops like this before?

  85. Alan Kellogg says:

    It’s funny when the paste eating moron gets his dander up.

    Schrebon,

    Don’t let your upbringing keep you from speaking in the first person.

  86. Big Man says:

    Even worse, I don’t think Bush’s . . . ahem . . . man-gravy . . . is kosher. This is worse than the blackface

  87. Swen Swenson says:

    Malkin’s old topleft picture is hotter than her current one…

    Dammit, shank! I misread that comment and spent the last hour searching the google caches for the topless picture. tongue wink

  88. Big Man says:

    See, if they had blackfaced Ole’ Joe in the Photoshop image Bill B linked to, they would have had a three-fer.

    Anti-black

    Anti-Semetic

    Anti-Gay

  89. Shanae says:

    I hope Jane Hamsher is enjoying the public spanking she’s receiving at the hands of Michelle Malkin.

    I know I would smile

  90. ahem says:

    And you just know somebody from one of the campaigns called the WaPo and ratted on her. Possibly both.

  91. Major John says:

    TOOD,

    Not much to say, just me, a dozen Kiwis and an incoming 107mm rocket.  Let us just say, I have even more respect for the New Zealand Armed Forces than before that.

  92. wishbone says:

    Ok, if that was really Dr. Vic, am I the only one impressed that he actually quoted the Fantastic Four?

    I get my philosophy from “The Herculoids.” But to each his own…

    And, unlike many–I love seeing the Dems commit ideological suicide.  Charge over that cliff, boys.  At the bottom you’ll find A LOT of McGovern ‘72 and Mondale ‘84 buttons.  Or you can just save time and trot over to EBay. 

    Who here has the early odds for how long it will take the NYT or WaPo to float Lamont as a presidential candidate if he beats Lieberman?

  93. Matt, Esq. says:

    I’m still confused as to why our “first black president” appears white in the picture in question…

  94. Pablo says:

    Is producing a film like Apt Pupil anti-semitic?

  95. Rusty. says:

    I want whatever it is that Dr. Vic de la Vega is on.

    Only I don’t want as much as he’s had.

  96. Bill B says:

    Not that it will register with his supporters who listened to him give that speech the other day denouncing WalMart, which seems to be one of their favorite companies to bash, but it appears Lamont and his family own a good bit of WalMart stock

    via Malkin

  97. Al Maviva says:

    And Lenny Kravitz wept.

    TW:  Million.  As in “Leftists will tell you a *million* times that they aren’t anti-semitic, they only hate zionists, Israelis, neo-cons, and all those people whose names end in “steen” and “owitz” who control the media, the banks, the military-industrial complex and George Bush’s brain, and they are telling the truth because when you get right down to it, they love Jews the way they love their own mothers, it’s just that they can’t stand the reek of gefilte fish, chicken soup and soda pop made from the blood of castrated Arab boys.”

  98. Lost Dog says:

    There’s that smell again.  Did someone fart or shit themself?

    Oh, hey Dr. Vic.

    I believe that in polite society, we refer to this as “soiling” one’s self
