Latte drinking, Sushi-eating, Left-wing Freaks check in here

[joefree1]

It's terrible that those in-bred, flag-sucking, OxyContin-popping, Faux-News-watching, Apocalytic-yeaning, Goose-stepping, Right-wing Zombies are sinking so low as to insult us with Stereo-types.

Got anymore names for them?

Even if you're not a Dean supporter how true are the labels for you? How should we fight this new type of attack politics? I don't have a a volvo or a body piercing but the rest is true.

Dean Is Targeted by Ad Campaign
Conservative group calls the Democrat's backers a 'Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show.'

By Nick Anderson and Janet Hook, Times Staff Writers
edit...
The ad features a husband and wife and opens with an announcer asking, "What do you think about Howard Dean's proposal to raise your taxes by $1,900 a year?"

The husband replies, 'Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading … "

The wife jumps in: "Body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs."

[Padraig18]

[Terwilliger]

Well, it was funny for a microsecond

[ulysses]

74. that's ok - we'll be at the "topless" bar.

:D

:hi:

[indigo32]

3. Well I prefer my coffee black

and drive a FORD but otherwise I make NO FRIGGIN APOLOGIES to those people.

[killbotfactory]

4. Bush is gov't expanding...

I guess that fact is lost on these people at the CFG

[eissa]

5. No sushi

(I avoid seafood), or volvo (can't afford one), but I love lattes and think George Clooney is a god :-)

[WillyT]

6. Well... I'm More Of A Saki Drinking, Sushi Eating, Left-Wing Freak...

But hey, can I join anyway???

Compei!!! :beer:

:hi:

[joefree1]

11. Hot Saki!

Ya just reminded me I haven't had any in a while.


Ominous Polls:
A look at the Gallup polls over the past few moths show why Democrats are becoming increasingly nervous about putting Clinton at the head of their ticket.
In a head-to-head match up on March 20, Bush led by only 52-43 percent and Clinton was indeed within striking range. But as the weekly disclosures took their toll during the ensuing primaries, Clinton's margin fell to 54-38 percent on March 29 and then fell further to 54-34 by the beginning of April.
Edit ...
"The negatives are forming on Bill Clinton like a political stalactite, drop by drop," said veteran Democratic consultant David Sawyer. "Each drip leaves a residue that builds on his negative image."

[DebJ]

7. Someone at the Meet Ups tonight should make this into a song...

someone from the South....country songs are good at double-entendres.
Actually, one line from a country song comes to mind....I like my sushi southern fried

[Lisa0825]

8. The only criteria I meet are body-pierced left-wing freaks!LOL

I hate sushi, don't drink lattes, don't read the NYT, and drive a Saturn. They sure missed the mark on me! :-)

[sabbat hunter]

39. i dont fit that image at all

except for occasionally reading the NYT.

peace
david
:hippie:

ps that couple was probably from either california or NY anyways
lol

[Walt Starr]

9. Wasn't Clark a part of that Right Wing Group?

At least, I thought he was part of it.

anybody have the scoop on this?

[SahaleArm]

34. Did you also know aliens caused Global warming? n/t

[formernaderite]

49. I wouldn't be surprised with Clark

I could never vote for a republican...Clark regardless of his recent metamorphosis is still a republican to me. I know he's anti-Iraq, but something just doesn't smell right.

I saw the ad, it's kind of funny....


I'm a left wing freak too, but I don't do any of what the ad describes. Weirdly enough the couple in the ad look like the types who do drive volvos, drink expensive coffee and eat raw food. Too rich and elite for my blood.

[quinnox]

10. I'm only guilty of two

I do read the New York Times (website), and I enjoy movies. The rest don't apply.

[scottcsmith]

12. Not applicable at all

Nothing on the list. I guess I'm boring. Nothing pierced currently (I did have my ear pierced 10 years ago); I drive a Camaro; don't like lattes; never read the Times; and have sushi maybe once a year.

In fact, the only clue that I have any political leanings at all come from my web site which, frankly, is pretty mean-spirited toward right-wingers.

[joefree1]

15. Sorry Scott, you can't unpierce an ear

I forgot that my own ear is pierced. Welcome to the freak show. :grouphug:

[chocolateeater]

13. Well I don't drink coffee of any sort

and I don't eat sushi. I'll take Left-Wing Freak though. Maybe we could start a "Left-Wing Freaks for Dean" Website.:freak:

[AntiCoup2K4]

14. Well, let's see.... for one thing I have no piercings (and don't want any)

I don't drive a Volvo (and actually think they're kinda ugly - no offense to anyone who does own one.) I rarely read the NY Times, but would believe it before I believed the NY Post. Prefer mochas to lattes but am actually trying to cut down on coffee and switching to green tea at the moment.

As far as government expansion goes, I believe the Bush Criminal Empire's "Homeland Security Department" was the largest government expansion in 50 years, right?

[liberalmike27]

17. Have to hand it to them...

Even as a Dean supporter, it was funny. But truth is, I guess these folks don't mind saddling their children, grandchildren, and by the looks of those two rich folks, great grandchildren.

By the way, the amount mentioned in the commercial is the average, with Bill Gates, and all of the others rolled into one.

If your poor, you should vote out that corporate whore, GWB.
ABB

[Carni]

16. Correct me if I am wrong...

But aren't the body piercers usually pick up driving wing nuts?

[Demobrat]

18. Had a latte with my NYT this morning

and sushi for lunch. I only have one piercing in each ear however, not sure if that counts, and I'm lucky enough not to need a car. If I did it would be a Volvo though.

[cryofan]

19. I'm a Left Wing Freak and a pencil-neck geek!

Or, to turn that old tune around on the RightWingers:


Back when I was a kid, life was going swell.
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell.
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak,
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a Right Wing geek."

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck."
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck.
And if there's one thing lower than a Rush Limbaugh freak,
It's a Bush-lovin', Limbaugh Listenin', Right Wing geek."

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead,
Looks like a pipe cleaner atached to a head,
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks,
You got yourself a FR-reading, Right Wing geek.

(chorus)
Right Wing geek, Bush-Lovin' freak,
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin' but a Right Wing geek.

Soon the RW geeks were poppin' up all over town.
You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down.
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick,
Just reach for a RW geek, they'll do the trick.

One day we cut one up for fish bait.
Learned our lesson just a little bit late.
Soon as the RW geek hit the drink, the water turned red.
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead.

chorus

Most any night you know where I can be found.
Yeah, stomping some RW geek's head into the ground.
So keep the faith 'cause in DU you can trust,
I won't give up 'til the last right wing geek bites the dust.

chorus

They say, "these RW geeks come a dime a dozen."
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplyin' the dimes.
Its gonna be real hard times for all of these
grit eatin',
Rove suckin',
Bush lickin',
Rush Listenin',
gut grindin',
nail bitin',
glue sniffin',
scab pickin',
butt scratchin',
egg hatchin',
sleezy,
smelly,
dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks.
Nothing but a Right Wing geek

[xchrom]

24. do i hear banjos?

[rogerhall]

20. I just wish they had included the long haired, music-listening, ...

pot-smoking, life-style-tolerant hippies too.

Did anyone see the leader of this group of Crossfire today?

What a geek! :}

[tishaLA]

21. I'm a Hollywood liberal, latte, drinking, NYTimes...

and LATimes reading, body-pierced, hair-colored, Francophile, motherfucking FREAK.

So there.

[Syn_Dem]

22. Checking in!

Here, here! :P

[slinkerwink]

23. I'm even wrose----I drink chai

[eissa]

33. Ooohhhhh

I LOVE spiced chai! I forgot to mention the pierced ears too.

[NoPasaran]

25. I had a latte once

Didn't really care for it

Sushi? Prefer my food cooked, thank you

Volvo? Honda CRV, actually

NYT? Okay, I do at least check it out on line. I actually read the Guardian Weekly if that's any help

Body Piercing? Ewwwww!

Hollywood-loving? I'd probably need to see more than one or two movies a year to qualify

Left-wing freak? Hey, it's been years since I sold the Militant on street corners

Other than that , they've got me pegged

[Scott Lee]

26. What about single malt scotch drinkers?

Uisgebach, to be precise?

[Bozola]

40. Uisge beatha...

I wouldn't say no to a splash of Lagavulin or Oban. Neat, please.

[DeepModem Mom]

27. DeepModem Mom's family "guilty" on about all counts, and

we want t-shirts and bumper stickers saying same. Bring those near-beer-drinking, pork-rind-eating, pickup-truck-driving-without-seatbelt-wearing illiterates on!

It's sad, actually -- people used to aspire to sophistication, and work to achieve it. The Club for Growth wants the mass of people to "know their place," be satisfied with -- even proud of -- their lot in life, and leave the spoils, and taxbreaks, to themselves.

And it's sad that we as a nation find ourselves so divided, with groups like Club for Growth encouraging the divide for political gain.

[joefree1]

28. Argggggggh!

I forgot Hummer-driving, Freeper-Creeper.

[DeepModem Mom]

30. I doubt the people exploited by the Bushies...

can afford Hummers. They're lucky if they have jobs under this administration --

[Indiana_Dem]

29. Checking in! n/t

[Alex146]

31. here

lol

[killbotfactory]

32. Let's send the Club for Growth a bunch of sushi in the mail...

I'm sure it will be nice and fragrant when it gets there.

[Zinnola]

35. That is a stooopid ad

Only right wing drooler types would resort to that tripe

[IronLionZion]

36. Yo

checking in. I love how right wing conservatives call him far left and far left liberals think he's too conservative. He must be just right then.

[KaraokeKarlton]

37. Well, I'm a

Gun toting, Mt.Dew drinking, Chevy driving, Steak and potatoes eating swing voting freak.

Is there anyone that commercial didn't attempt to offend? This ad will help Dean more than it hurts him simply because it's going to offend a lot of people, especially farmers. They don't talk like that, and Dean is on their side and they know it. Those who made this ad are real boneheads. :shrug:

[nomaco-10]

38. I'm here but.....

I drink Maxwell House and the only way I like my sushi, is deep fried with tartar sauce. Can I still join?

[joefree1]

41. Of course

I'm sure the bushies have insults for everyone who don't bow down before their court appointed White-House-Squatting Frat Boy. Hmmm, I should have done a commercial for MoveOn.org.

[tsipple]

42. Sorry, I Don't Fit

I've never had sushi. I like my fish cooked.

I think I've had a latte once in my life, and it was an accident when somebody goofed the order. (Four bucks for a cup of coffee? Are you insane?) Ordinary coffee with milk, thank you.

I'm a pilot. Don't drive a VW bus, I'm afraid.

I work for a Fortune 100 company.

I live in the Midwestern United States.

I believe in small (but effective) government, civil rights, and equal opportunity for all.

Thanks, Club for Growth. You're a real Republican turnoff. Reminds me again why I'm supporting the right people.

[Printer70]

43. Southern, inbred, gun-toting yahoos

eom

[formernaderite]

51. wait a minute

Wait a minute...I'm a Deaniac myself, and come from a state just south of the Mason Dixon. I love my gun and I love Dean!!! I just haven't bothered to look too deeply into my heritage to determine inbred status.

[mitchum]

54. Progressive southerners thank you for your support...

douchebag.
Go ahead, I'll have 29 left

[joefree1]

63. Where are you coming from?

I've got family in the South. My ancestors originally came from Texas and Tenessee. And I got no problem with responsible gun ownership. But that's another thread.

Deans gonna win in the South. Got a problem with that?


On edit: Sorry, I replied to the wrong post. I was replying to the post that insult Southerners. You got it wrong.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

69. lol

use 'em if you got 'em! :evilgrin:

[OhioStateProgressive]

44. well

i drink plain black coffee, prefer my fish fried with a little lemon pepper on it, drive a rusted out Ford Probe (it's dirty inside too), and read a newspaper once a few years ago

but i guess i am a left wing freak:), so here I am

[no name no slogan]

75. Me too, for the most part

Darkest, blackest, fair trade coffee you can get (with a packet o' raw sugar)-drinking, fish-taco eating, Mercury Sable station wagon-driving, long-ponytail wearing (think Willie Nelson length, a few inches above the waist), earing-sporting, soon to be unemployed, hard-working 5+ year-experienced web developer who would just as soon shop at Wal-Mart as vote for a Democrat who supported NAFTA :shudder:.

From a family of hard-working middle-class "up by our bootstraps" midwesterners who like their politics non-professional and without bullshit or Republicans, if you please.

:D

[quaker bill]

45. The people at the meetup tonight

Were eating burgers and drinking a beer. For myself, a cup of black coffee.

[maxanne]

46. yee ha

pass the California rolls, please! I'm a sushi loving, both ears double pierced, espresso drinking, Toyota driving,Birkenstock wearing, bleeding heart liberal grumpy evil feminist who thinks Howard Dean is pretty darned groovy!!

[Ilsa]

47. What did Begala call the Right on Crossfire?

I think he called them champaign-sipping, caviar-eating, election-stealing, jobs-exporting, Halliburton-loving, oil-drilling, insider-trading, Iraq-lying right wing.

[joefree1]

65. Thanks, I'll add this to the list

Ok, we're up to in-bred, flag-sucking, OxyContin-popping, Faux-News-watching, Apocalytic-yearning, Hummer-driving, Goose-stepping, election-stealing, jobs-exporting, Halliburton-loving, oil-drilling, insider-trading, Iraq-lying, Right-wing Zombies!

On edit: I took out "champaign-sipping, caviar-eating," because I like both and we shouldn't fool repukes into thinking they have even a tidbit of style.

[RetroLounge]

48. For some reason I thought of this song

(Forgive me, but this was WAY before Charlie Daniels became a RW Asswipe...)

THE UNEASY RIDER
Charlie Daniels

SPOKEN:
I was takin' a trip out to L.A.
Toolin' along in my Chevrolet
Tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radi-o ...
Just as I crossed the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
And I knew that left rear tire was about to go.

Well, the spare was flat and I got uptight
'Cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
So I just limped on down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
It was right in front of this little bar
Kind of redneck lookin' joint, called the Dew Drop Inn.

Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat
And told the bartender that I had a flat
And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
There was one thing I was sure proud to see
There wasn't a soul in the place, 'cept for him and me
And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone.

I called up the station down the road a ways
And he said he wasn't very busy today
And he could have somebody there in just 'bout ten minutes or so
He said now you just stay right where you're at
And I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool
I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go.

I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
When some guy walked in and said; "Who owns this car?
With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the floor?"
Well, he looked at me and I damn near died
And I decided that I'd just wait outside
So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door.

Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
These five big dudes come strollin' in
With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
And I was almost to the door when the biggest one
Said; "You tip your hat to this lady, son."
And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath.

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
In Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night
'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me
They all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in the knee.

He let out a yell that'd curl your hair
But before he could move, I grabbed me a chair
And said; "Watch him folks, 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man."
"Well, you may not know it, but this man's a spy
He's an undercover agent for the FBI
And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan."

He was still bent over, holdin' on to his knee
But everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
And I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said; "Would you beleive this man has gone as far
As tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
And he voted for George McGovern for president."

"He's a friend of them long-haired, hippie type, pinko fags
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall, inside of his garage
He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys
He may look dumb, but that's just a disguise
He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage."

They all started lookin' real suspicious at him
And he jumped up an' said; "Now, just wait a minute, Jim
You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life."
"I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch
And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife."

Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed
But I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck
And when I hit the ground, I was makin' tracks
And they were just takin' my car down off the jacks
So I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up.

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run
But somehow I couldn't resist the fun
Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot.

Well, they're headin' for their car, but I hit the gas
And spun around and headed them off at the pass
I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
Ha Ha, well, I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin'
Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there.

When I hit the road I was really wheelin'
Had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin'
And I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas
Well, I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
If I went to L.A. - via Omaha.

[John_H]

50. I'm all of the above--except I'm voting for Clark.

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

52. Let's see...

1. I understand that we must pay taxes if we want stuff like cops and paved roads, so to I'm sure to the average Freeper douchebag that makes me a "tax-hiker". Check!

2. The expansion of government is neither good nor bad. Sometimes it's necessary and sometimes it isn't. It depends what it's being expanded for. So since I didn't scream "NO!!!" immediately upon seeing the phrase "government-expanding," I guess that makes me guilty on count two.

3. I don't drink latte. I prefer regular house blends. Latte's high lactic content makes me fart also. So a big NO on that one.

4. I don't eat sushi much. I love sashimi though! So in the strictest technical sense, no.

5. I don't read the New York Times, but I do the Sunday crosswords sometimes.

6. Many, many years ago I had my nose pierced, but I stopped wearing it over a decade ago and the hole is no longer viable. Since then I have pierced nothing, so I must answer no.

7. I have never been to Hollywood, so I cannot say I love it.

8. I am pretty moderate in most of my views, which in the current political climate probably means I'm a communist.

So my total is 3 out of 8. I'm not exactly a whiz at percentages, but I don't think I get a very high score. Could it be that this ad is... not accurate? I know, I know, it's hard to believe that a hysterical right wing ad campaign would characterize its quarry in a less-than flattering light, but it sure looks that way.

So sushi and latte and hallmarks of terrorist-coddling, basically? Is that what we're talking about here? Jesus...

[mzmolly]

Checkin in... I don't do sushi, and I drive a Ford... s'that alright?

:hi:

I do confess, I love a good latte. But a quality Canadian beer is just as good by me. :)

[jsw_81]

53. It's funny

Shortly before logging onto the internet and finding the story about the new ads ("latte-drinking, New York Times-reading...") I was at Starbucks drinking a vanilla latte and reading the Times! I'm dead serious! I also happen to drive a European car and live in one of the most "blue" areas in the country. And I'm gay.

Sometimes I feel like a perfect liberal stereotype. :)

Oh well, at least I'm not a freeper. Now that would be hell.

[Cheswick2.0]

55. Do I have to leave the Doc's club?

I am a psalm singing, IceTea drinking, ear piercing, broadway loving, Tolkein reading, Ford driving suburban women.

[joefree1]

67. heck no

Those right wing zombies got insults for all of us. And since we Dems are such a diverse crowd thats a lot of insults.

[PretzelWarrior]

56. check. I'm kind of like that....

I drive a Toyota and a Buick. I drink Americanos and sometimes Mochas. I do read NYTimes and Newsweek and Time, New Yorker, Slate, truthout.org, In These Times, The Progressive, The Nation....you get the picture.

I eat sushi from time to time.

I don't have gody pierces. I am not terribly enamored of Hollywood. I like indy films more.

I do believe the tax structure should be reconfigured. But I also believe we should expand domestic programs to help education, elderly, and poverty while shrinking USA's forward deployed footprint around the world, missile defense shields, etc. We should give more money to states and multiagency task forces to combat terrorists entering US soil.

Right now Bush is looking pretty liberal himself. He's growing all the wrong parts of the goverment.

[hellhathnofury]

57. We'll I can't afford latte's or sushi and freak is subjective. But...

Dean is my guy.

[slinkerwink]

58. sooo glad to hear that!

:hi:

[hellhathnofury]

59. I do drink espresso and evilplace is the only place in my area. :-(

Only use gift cards though, never out of pocket.

[askew]

60. Damn, this is one stupid ad.

They were pretty close for me.

I'm a tax-hiking (for the rich), government-cutting (pentagon), mountain dew-drinking, vegetarian (even worse!), Honda CRV-driving, Minneapolis Star-Tribune-reading … Tattooed, Hollywood-loving, left-wing non-freak.

But still, it's better than being a Bush* supporter.

[hellhathnofury]

61. My God! I just watched the ad. That's an incredibly bad ad.

The people are so obviously scripted and the wife doesn't look at the camera, she's always shifting her eyes. Plus don't they realize that the name calling will backfire, people don't like that. Is he trying to lose Iowa?

[janx]

73. Just think of the way Iowans are portrayed in that ad--

They're not likely to take too kindly to it.

[LoZoccolo]

62. Big Italian guy from Chicago here.

Any of you Club for Growth guys wanna meet me in the parking lot of Dunkin' Donuts on Belmont and Clark? I promise I won't bring a gun; that would be the...pusillanimous Republican thing to do.

Thought so.

P.S. It means "the hoof".

[Hep]

64. I HATE sushi!

Screw THAT!

[Lestat de Lioncourt]

66. This Democrat doesn't like lattes, sushi, or volvos..

And I don't even have body piercings!

As for the Republicans, they're all a bunch of stereotypical assholes. Man, do I ever hate them. :grr:

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

68. the funniest part: "New York Times Reading"

They read the newspaper - what freaks! :eyes:

[rucky]

71. Isn't that pretty much everybody on the West Coast?

I prefer tacos & Jarritos, but everybody's indulged in the 4-dollar beverage now & then.

[janx]

72. DEAN supporter here--

I'm a 46-year-old '95 Jeep Wrangler driving, fiction writing, college English teaching, Dr. Pepper drinking, older children rearing, golden retriever and weimaraner adopting, Rocky Mountain camping and fishing type of gal with whose only piercings are in her ear lobes.

RADICAL, eh?
