Harris tries to revive Senate campaign in central Florida

TRAVIS REED
Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. - The roughly 100 people packed into a fairgrounds building for a concealed carry handgun class looked up blankly Saturday as U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris entered.

Hands blackened by fingerprinting ink, they listened, many with seeming half-interest, as Harris talked about her political record, gun rights, making President Bush's tax cuts permanent and helping small businesses.

They erupted into applause when weapons instructor and Pasco County Republican Chairman Bill Bunting told them of Harris' A+ rating with the National Rifle Association.

"I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. I didn't think that before seeing what she's about," said Jim Myers, a 57-year-old disabled military veteran.

Maybe Mr. Myers is hoping she'll squeeze his trigger...

[cliss]

1. (enjoying this immensely)

This is so entertaining! I hope she's getting her money's worth. And I do mean HER.

In fact, I'm getting mileage from this spectacle, on her dime.

[billybob537]

2. Actually it's

NOMENTUM

[Faygo Kid]

3. Shouldn't she just come out on Halloween?

she fits right in with the greats.

[rpannier]

5. No

The walking dead often come out after dark.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Now you've done it.

No sleep for me tonight. Nightmares about Katherine Harris, Bill Frist and the DLC.

[rpannier]

4. Great

I'm recommending it for greatest because of "hoementum."

[JeffR]

10. Tried it out on another thread last week

But nobody bit.

[Kurovski]

55. I acknowledge your attempt, and applaud you both.

:D

[CrazyOrangeCat]

7. Hoementum!

Get out there on the street ya flaky wench . . . ho that thang.

[benddem]

8. That veteran

needs to check out her voting record on Veteran's issues. She isn't any friend of his.

[GRLMGC]

9. teehee

God, I hope she gets the nomination. She's far too entertaining.

[JeffR]

12. In a better world, where Dems controlled the Senate

By a comfortable margin, I'd be delighted to see her win. She's more inadvertent fun than Mean Jean Schmidt. Though the thought of her winning is a terrible thing to wish on my fellow Floridians.

[GRLMGC]

21. I don't want her to win the seat

just the nomination so that she'll be crushed by her Democratic opponent

[omega minimo]

11. SEXIST PRICKS WILL BE THE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

[JeffR]

13. Yeah, that or humorless ideologues

[omega minimo]

15. GENDER BIGOTRY AIN'T FUNNY

ATTACKING WOMEN FOR BEING WOMEN IS AN ATTACK ON ALL WOMEN

[Roland99]

16. First off, settle down and lose the CAPS. Second, who's attacking her

for being a woman?


She's being criticized and lampooned for being an idiot and, well, a skank-ho!


Don't forget, she was flirting nauseously on-camera in the Capital. Remember that? She's a skank.

[omega minimo]

24. "Settle down"? "SETTLE DOWN"?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

:rofl:

:wtf: :puke: :puke:

[JeffR]

18. Then find another thread more to your liking

[omega minimo]

19. This is GD:P not the Lounge. See "CHEAPENS THE DISCOURSE FOR EVERYONE"

in DU Rules :hi:

[JeffR]

26. I can tell it's not the Lounge

They tend not to yell "PRICK" at the first sight of an off-color joke.

[collegegirl211]

36. first of all that bitch isn't a respectful lady

second she's a crimnal who help to rob us of the presidency 2000 hello:wtf:

[JeffR]

41. Amen and amen

Welcome to DU, collegegirl211!
:hi:

[omega minimo]

42. mmmMMMmmmmmm PIZza!!!!!

:popcorn:

[Catrina]

56. Funny, I'm a woman and I don't feel attacked ~ but I am sick and tired

of the idiocy that thinks women are so weak they're going to fall apart because of a little humor. What turns normal people OFF the left is this inane pc.

People need to grow up or the next 30 year survey will show that progressive women are a bunch of crybaby, weakling whiners who ran to the teacher everytime someone said 'boo' to them in kindergarten!

Try to stop infantalizing women, we're pretty strong and can handle ourselves in most situations, thank you!!

There are some real problems to address, this focus on every little perceived insult causes way more harm to women, and it's pretty sexist in itself, imo.

[omega minimo]

60. Well dear, I hope that Kool Aid tasted real good

:spray: :hug:

[Vickers]

25. Best. Rejoinder. EVER.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[JeffR]

27. ..

:patriot:

[omega minimo]

30. Not. REALLY. "Get a sense of humor" is so old a cliche IT'S A JOKE

:wow: you poor guys have no idea how much damage sexist bigotry does to the political causes you think you care about..................

[JeffR]

32. Apparently you haven't seen Ms. Harris's recent

interviews, photo-ops & press conferences. She's setting women back a hundred years. But I guess you didn't notice, since you're too busy fighting the good fight against us chauvinists here.

I didn't tell you to get a sense of humor. My guess is that you have one, and this little screed of mine didn't strike you as funny. Fair enough. You could have made that point without the invective.

And BTW, the woman in question here is the single biggest factor in the theft of the 2000 election, bigger than James Baker, bigger than Jeb Bush, bigger than the Supreme Court and certainly bigger than Ralph Nader. For that alone, she is the enemy.

As if her status as liberal bete-noire weren't already rock-solid, there's her spate of recent appearances, rodeo riding in an outfit tighter than Bush's Mission Accomplished flightsuit, and giving interviews with her artificially enhanced bust turned three-quarters to the camera, tittering - if you'll pardon the term - coquettishly as she shamelessly whores for votes. Seems to me she richly deserves mockery far worse than mine. She's set the terms of the debate.

[omega minimo]

33. Interesting. Could that tacky routine be designed to distract from

real issues? Setting herself up to be attacked for "hoementum" and to distance herself (and Dem onlookers) from memories of FLA 2000? Pretty Rovian.

Point well spoken and well taken.

[JeffR]

34. I think she'll do anything to distract from her record

Much like the rest of her party.

[omega minimo]

37. Speaking of "-oementum"

no one attacks Lieberman for having a face like the rear end of a basset hound and that noise that comes out of his face sounding like a constipated foghorn in Hell....................


He's a man. It's just not DONE.


And :wtf: is wrong with Richard Armitage!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

[JeffR]

40. That's Joe to a tee

The Senate seems unusually crowded with ugly men.

Armitage has always reminded me of a bull terrier. Or Mr. Clean's uncle, the one nobody else in the family ever talks about at Thanksgiving.

[omega minimo]

43. Mr. Clean or

Popeye

[collegegirl211]

44. you cant have it both ways repuke women aren't respectful women and have to

a hoe is a hoe and cruel-la is a HOE

[omega minimo]

45. you cant have both boards go tell your buddies i said blah blah woof woof

:puke:

[collegegirl211]

46. yes i can because im a princess

and i despise katherine that horrible slutty woman

[JeffR]

47. I always feel I'm missing the best stuff on DU

Even in my own threads. Or maybe especially in my own threads....
:shrug:

[collegegirl211]

50. you didn't miss anything by the way keep posting threads like this

we need to expose the repukes for all their worth especially their women who make all women look bad:7

[omega minimo]

52. the hazards of reinforcing sexist attitudes/cliches/language

make it hard to tell the difference between the ignorant and the bigots and the too-young-to-know-any-better and the trolls and the princesses.

:grouphug:

[collegegirl211]

53. on my final reply of the night I'm going to break it down for you

repuke women that respect and admire other women they vote in a paryt that dont believe women can make choices for themselves, cant speak for themselves and should be subservient men i mean look at laura bush need i say more it's repuke women who bring down the race of women they think women should take a back seat to-the men in their lives so you should go try to convert repuke women into standing of for themselves instead of standing of for them because they don't deserve it and would call you a femninazi because you're a liberal wakeup sister repuke women are not your friend their your enemy:rant: :patriot:

[Vickers]

38. It's all in the delivery, babe.

:spank:

[Roland99]

14. Political Correctness is the bane of the left

I think is what you meant to say.

[omega minimo]

17. Reich Wing wedge issues work due to gender bigotry and sexist ignorance

"Political Correctness" is nothing more and nothing less than R-E-S-P-E-C-T

[Roland99]

20. Uh, no. Political Correctness is total BS.

Little Janie might get her feelings hurt if teacher marks her wrong answers with a RED pen. We must use BLUE.

Little Johnny might feel bad if he doesn't make the honor roll. Let's eliminate the honor roll.

My feelings are hurt because a cartoon running for Senate in Florida dresses like a streetwalker and pumps her tits out on live TV and cuddles with Congressmen on the House floor on live TV and...'



GIVE.

ME.

A.

BREAK.

[Skittles]

22. with all due respect

I will not respect a woman who deserves not one ounce of respectability

[collegegirl211]

39. exactly that whore doesnt deserve the title of woman

[Skittles]

62. if you mean bush whore, I would absolutely agree

yes

[blondeatlast]

64. A refreshing dose of Skittles does a thread good!

Thanks for the sanity, my sister.

[Roland99]

23. And, what about this video is "gender bigotry"?

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/08/09.html


Puh-leeze.

[radio4progressives]

48. "Political Correctness" is Right Wing Code

for racism, sexism, bigotry and just plain ole fashion stupidity.

[NanceGreggs]

35. There is nothing 'sexist' about calling a whore ...

... by her rightfully-earned name. And no one could possibly argue that Ms. Harris has not done her utmost, with BOTH barrels loaded (so to speak) to earn that sobriquet.

When a woman seeking political office does so on the basis of her reputation, her record, and her support of certain policies, she deserves to be assessed and supported or admonished in that regard.

But when a woman seeks office and blatantly displays herself as the most 'able-bodied' candidate based on her bra size, she has asked - no, begged - the voters to judge her based on just that.

Katherine Harris has told us that God told her to run for office. One must wonder whether the same God told her to stick her tits in the face of the camera, and the American voters, while she was at it.

I have little patience for women who try to get themselves elected to political office based on the measurement of their breasts. I have even LESS patience with women who think that such a blatant display warrants a vociferous defense masquerading as the defense of all women.

I will always come to the aid of a fellow American woman who is being judged solely based on her gender.

But when a woman, any woman, demeans my gender, my patriotism, and my fellow female citizens by playing the 'sex-kitten girlie card', you're damned real I'm going to call her on it.

"Homentum" - You want to play the game? Get comfortable wearing the name.

[radio4progressives]

49. she's certainly a bimbo, a grant ya that..

and i agree with just about everything you posit, except on the matter with calling her a "ho". it's not about political correctness, it's just offensive and so is Katherine Harris.

[NanceGreggs]

51. I hear ya, R4P!

But I can't help myself in this regard - I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Whore - A woman who dispenses sexual favours for obvious gain, usually financial or of alternative negotiable value.

That's Katherine Harris.

If she happened to be a beautiful, sexy, well-endowed woman who was being pilloried for those attributes, instead of focusing on issues championed and policies endorsed, I would come to her defence -- Democrat or Republican, either way.

But when you 'play girl' as we say back on the block, and that's the ONLY thing you're bringing to the table - well, stand back, 'cause you're going to get your bluff called, good and proper.

And I'm going to call it.

And I just did.

And I ain't takin' it back.

Act like a lady, and you deserve to be treated accordingly.

Act like a 'ho for yourself and your party - well, as I said earlier, if you play the game, get used to wearing the name.

[Catrina]

57. I'm with you, you said it all beautifully ~ Katherine Harris earned

the title, not only for her use of her physical 'attributes' but for selling her very soul to the Bush criminals and her country down the river, and for what? Decent whores are at least honest, this one is a deceiver in the worst way. And after all she sold, it seems those she prostituted herself for have dumped her. She's not even a successful 'ho' ~ :rofl:

[omega minimo]

54. Calling a women "whore" is always sexist

but the effect is diluted in people's minds by the popularization of "ho" and "whore" used all the time now, constantly and casually, by folks "on the block" and in the media.

I've read both your posts here and wouldn't try to argue you out of your logic.

"You want to play the game? Get comfortable wearing the name."

And then the choice we each make is whether we're comfortable USING the name. Even if it's true that: "a woman seeks office and blatantly displays herself as the most 'able-bodied' candidate based on her bra size, she has asked - no, begged - the voters to judge her based on just that." There's always the option to show respect as an expression of self-respect. (Which gets thrown out the window by the "political correctness is b.s. crowd).

"I have even LESS patience with women who think that such a blatant display warrants a vociferous defense masquerading as the defense of all women."

The use of gender bigoted language does hurt all women and reinforces the attitudes and language that harm all women, whether one particular women "has asked - no, begged" for it or not.

[Catrina]

58. Please don't speak for all women. You don't! Some of us are confident

enough in ourselves to be able to discern when calling a spade a spade is an accurate assessment, and when calling a 'ho' a 'ho' is based on the facts available, without assuming that it includes us or all women!! You may 'get comfortable wearing the name' ~ don't assume others do.

Someone once said that 'no one can disrespect you without your them permission' or words to that effect. 'Sticks and stones etc.' is another wise saying ~ you need to not allow yourself to get so upset over perceived, not even actual, insults!

Katherine Harris deserves the title given to her in the OP ~ she has proven it over and over again. I certainly don't feel included in that characterization since I'm not, thank god, Katherine Harris, nor would I ever act as she has.

I really don't get where you're coming from at all ~ to be honest. No one called me or you a 'ho', so why the big deal???

[Placebo]

28. Can anyone imagine this creature on judiciary or intelligence committee?

YIKES. :scared:

[JeffR]

29. Not such a big step down

From the Republicans already running those committees...

[Placebo]

31. True, true.

But at least some of them actually make an attempt to appear serious about their duties.

She'd just sit up there making faces and talking about her dead daddy.

[autorank]

59. LIEberman-Harris Ticket: Joe and Hoe Mentum...Doing it together!

Joe had Joementum and Harris has her thing.

They belong together, they MUST breed, NOW!!!

[Mabus]

61. With apologies to Randi Rhodes & Yosemite Sam

I think someone should follow Katherine around with a boombox playing "Bounce Your Boobies" like Yosemite Sam followed Barr around during his election.

[mitchum]

63. Jim, she's certainly not gonna take your gun away, but she's not...

gonna "clean it" either.
I don't care if he is a disabled veteran, Jim Myers is a stupid fuckwit.
