every Jean Schmidt yard sign... went down overnight- NOT VANDALISM!!

[Coexist]

from Jellypuddin over at DailyKos.

Now, with only a week to go in her re-election she's stepping right into the shit by saying that storing of the worlds nuke materials in my section of Ohio was something she has no problem with and in fact she see's the economical advantages of doing so.

<snip>
"All I can tell you is that when it became known that she supports this, every Jean Schmidt yard sign in the county went down overnight," said Geoffrey Sea, a writer whose home abuts the Piketon plant.

UPDATE BuckeyeHamburger was kind enough to post Victoria Wulsin's web site....we need to send her some money and support her.Looks like she's gonna win this bigtime... http://www.wulsinforcongress.com/ Go see what she is all about....pretty great candidate for coming from the bowells of conservative Ohio...I'm very impressed. VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Democrat

:nuke: :nuke:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[KingFlorez]

1. She must want to lose

[Moloch]

28. I think she's just incredibly dumb....

Hopefully the voters of Ohio will reject her anyway for her attack on Murtha.

[Deja Q]

2. Maybe she thinks radioactivity will reduce her wrinkles...

or give her superpowers. :crazy:

21. I don't get it??

[Coexist]

23. never mind - found the comment.

[noamnety]

25. It's very trying

to see looks and fashion interwoven so strongly with every criticism of female politicians.

If we mock her for her choices and stands on the issues, or her word choices, that's excellent. But mocking her for "having wrinkles" - what message are we actually sending with that? If you were an older woman on DU with wrinkles, what would your personal reaction to that be? Would you feel insulted?

It's a matter of collateral damage - the mindset is that it's okay to attack her IN ALL WAYS because we despise her. She's fair game. But people ignore the impact on the self-esteem of everyone else who sees a bit of themselves in that comment - it's part of the constant reminder that people think women with wrinkles are sub-standard in some way.

[Coexist]

35. I know - but people will attempt

to blast down their opponents with whatever ammo is closest at hand.

[johnaries]

37. Wait, in case you haven't noticed, on DU

when a Repuke - male or female - does or says something stupid, ALL aspects of that Repuke become fair game. Including physical aspects.

How many times have you seen references to Limpball's or Hastert's obesity? As an overweight person myself, I have no problem seeing them refered to as "fat fucks".

On the other hand, I have seen Cindy Sheehan, Nancy Pelosi, and Barbara Boxer described as being "beautiful" - and let's face it, none of them are Cindy Crawford.

Therefore, my experience on DU is that most male DUer's judge political women on their positions and actions and not their physical appearance.

The inner beauty shines through, while inner ugliness is ugly to the bone.

[Deja Q]

39. See post 38

When it comes to stereotypes and mindsets, they have stereotypes and mindsets of their own too. :)

[roseBudd]

44. I do slam her outfit for it's faux patriotism, I wouldn't if it was just ugly

[Mike Nelson]

45. When I looked at Ann Richards, I saw a beautiful woman...

When I look at Jean Schmidt, I see ugly wrinkles... What's wrong with me?

[PADemD]

56. Ann Richards got her wrinkles from laughing and smiling!

Those kind of wrinkles are beautiful.

[NotGivingUp]

46. agree with you 100%

[TahitiNut]

50. Yeah. It's not like women outspend men 3::1 on clothing, makeup, and diet

...products, after all, huh? :eyes: I mean, let's be fair and balanced. Nobody on DU ever says Keith Olbermann is a 'hottie' - and nobody ever says Rush is "fat' and nobody ever criticizes Dubya for what he wears - on his feet, for instance.

[noamnety]

51. Women do outspend men on clothing, makeup, and diet

That's not the result of human nature. It's cultural influences and more emphasis (despite the exceptions which prove the rule) placed upon women and looks. That difference in male vs. female dollars spent as consumers trying to achieve "beauty" is a symptom.

[Subdivisions]

55. You know what? I don't get it.

That post had NOTHING to do with the fact that Arwa Damon is a woman. In fact, it just so happens that she IS. SHE just happened to be on my TV screen at that time of the morning (my OP shows 3:35am, but I guess I don't have my time zone set correctly on the board. It was actually 5:35am and I had just gotten up to take care of my puppy after only 3-4 hours of sleep so I logged on to DU for a bit until my eyes got droopy and I went back to bed.). I've made the same observation of Michael Ware but he didn't happen to be the PERSON on my screen for that 20 minute period early that morning.

My post was a sleepy, early-morning, foggy-brained satirical attempt to stab at the otherwise ubiquitous practice of teevee news to put forth the most beautiful possible faces and my intent would never have been to poke fun at Damon just becuase she's a woman. Her gendre had abslutely nothing to do with my comment.

The LAST thing I intended from that post was to hurt anyone's feelings or to come off as a hater. If I offended you, I am truly sorry.

[Deja Q]

38. Don't be sexist (link incl.)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5780811

Last time I checked, I'm not female.


And, oh look, I also made a post about a male with wrinkles too!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5783079

OMG. I'm anti-man along with being anti-woman and anti-me! :wow:

What next?

[stepnw1f]

49. ahem... Shame on you for Attacking Jean Schmidt (nt)

[Coexist]

52. !

[noamnety]

57. That wasn't my point at all. (nt)

[Fovea]

59. "OMG. I'm anti-man along with being anti-woman and anti-me"

One thing is for certain, you ain't gettin laid much.
But being 'anti-me' is too far, HT. That lets out even self-serve sex, and that just ain't healthy...



:P

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. Well at least we know where all her signs went

Maybe they can be recycled with the nuclear waste she wants to store?

[salin]

4. and yet the Cincy paper - endorsed the queen of mean.

[blm]

19. Surrounding Cincinnati area has greater % of white supremacists

than any other area in the country.

[salin]

22. didn't know that...

do know that we have a few enclaves here - but not enough to stop the coming blue wash to tip our congressional delegation from 7-2 red to 5-4 blue...

[blm]

27. I read that in the 90s when I looked into it - Southern Poverty Law Center

was the source as I recall.

I looked into it at the time because I had a nephew going to college in Cincinnati then and couldn't believe some of the stuff he was "learning" about the Holocaust.

[wryter2000]

24. Morons

They must want their lily white kiddies to glow in the dark.

[11 Bravo]

40. I've got a buddy who used to play for the Atlanta Braves. He sums up Cincy thusly:

Horseshit hotels, horseshit food, horseshit entertainment, tough town to get laid in. There it is.

[Arkana]

48. According to Ron White, it's also the chili capital of da woild!

[Submariner]

5. What fun...watching mean-Jean NUKE her own campaign

Thanks for this comedy piece. :rofl:

[dkofos]

6. Does she still think she has the voting machines on her side??

[Greeby]

7. Word to Congresscritters

If you're evil enough to want nuke waste dumped in your district, it's not a good idea to support it BEFORE the election :dunce:

[Coexist]

9. No! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh... don't tell them!

let them go ahead and endorse it.

Its fun to watch.

[LSK]

8. someone make signs called "Jean for Nukes"

[saltpoint]

10. Has John Murtha come to campaign for Dr. Wulsin?

I hope he has, or will.

And on a fashion note, who in hell recommends Schmidt's wardrobe? My god that is the most sinister-looking blouse I've seen on the House floor in ages.

[Coexist]

11. SNL likes it too -

[saltpoint]

16. LOL! I hadn't seen that skit. And there's that lovely blouse!

[Coexist]

41. Not the only time they blasted her:

“John Murtha was a decorated, 37-year veteran,” said SNL’s Tina Fey. “Jean Schmidt, I’m guessing - judging from her outfit - was a 1970s gymnast.”


Here is the video of the spoof.

Great stuff.

[saltpoint]

42. "...a 1970s gymnast" -- LOL! I love it.

[Greeby]

12. He did the other week

He kinda spared the rod and let the good Dr Wulsin put the smackdown :D

[saltpoint]

18. That is good news that Murtha came to help Wulsin. Just a friendly

reminder to Mean Jean that she's a slandering, debasing monster with questionable creds for the job.

Go, Dr. Wulsin!

[bahrbearian]

13. I really like what she did with the 4th of July picnic table cloth.

[Lasher]

58. Must be where Lynne Cheney got the idea to use the dining room drapes

[Totally Committed]

15. You heard it here first:

Jean Schmidt uses nuclear waste as moisturizer. Look at that pic, and you'll know I'm right... :rofl:

[chat_noir]

17. Rex Freedom's graphic from Kos thread

[MelissaB]

30. Great graphic! There are so many things that can be done with this graphic.

Gotta learn how to photoshop.

[rucky]

20. Nuclear waste made her what she is today. n/t

[IndyOp]

26. Wulsin is a PERFECT contrast...

from Dr. Victoria Wulsin's site...

Improving the Health of Ohio Communities

Vic has practiced medicine in both rural and urban settings here in southwest Ohio. As Cincinnati's city epidemiologist, Vic fought deadly outbreaks of disease like whooping cough and influenza. In Adams County, she directed a health literacy program, and she currently serves as chair of the board of the Health Resource Center, a free clinic in Over-the-Rhine.

As a uniformed officer with the US Public Health Service, Vic brought unions and business leaders together to improve worker safety. Together, they reduced carcinogens in the workplace through a nation-wide effort against vinyl chloride, a chemical known to cause liver cancer. She has fought for occupational safety through her work with the International Chemical Workers and the United Steel Workers.

An International Perspective

Vic’s work as a doctor has taken her to over twenty nations. She directed a five-year, $30 million project to promote women’s health in five countries in Africa and Asia, and she finished the project on time and on budget. Vic assisted the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in reconstruction efforts following the genocide in Rwanda. Most recently she founded SOTENI International, a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing HIV and AIDS among orphans in Kenya.

32. She's better than that district deserves, imho.

It pains me to say something like that, but any district that'd elect Mean Jean to Congress is populated with far too many maggot-brained scum. I detest J.D.Hayworth but Jean Schmidt doesn't even rise to his level in the human cess pool.

Dr. Wulsin is one of those precious human beings of which we have far too few ... a heroine.

[Jack Rabbit]

29. Many politicians suffer from foot-in-mouth disease

This lady has a chronic case of it.

[helderheid]

31. If she wins, we KNOW we've been Diebolded!

:rofl:

[formercia]

33. Guaranteed Rent-a-Cop jobs for the next

250,000 Years.

[Algorem]

34. she's got one thing to be happy about though

as always she doesn't have to spend anything on a scary Halloween mask

[salin]

36. new campaign msg "Jean Schmidt, a nuclear disaster waiting to happen"

[jumpoffdaplanet]

43. She can say anything because Diebold...

will give her the win no matter what.

Well, one good thing. The win will be so unbelievable that people will finally wake up to the fact the vote is rigged.

[stepnw1f]

47. Another Vacuous Mind in the Republican Party

I swear the worst of this country has found it's home in the GOP.

[malaise]

53. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

couldn't happen to a more deserving moron.:rofl: :rofl:

[originalpckelly]

54. Jean Schmidt is a product of nuclear waste, she wants to spread the love.

She is the little she hulk.

[Hubert Flottz]

60. Schmidt Happens!

That is some ugly Schmidt!
