Seattle P-I: Bush Supporters 'White, Male, Middle-aged and Slightly Stupid'

By Warner Todd Huston | August 21, 2007 - 09:11 ET

So, what we have here is the only hate-speak that the MSM will allow. Attacks on white men who vote Republican. In this case we see our friendly Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist, Dorothy Parvaz, reveling in her hatred of Bush supporters. Not only is she attempting to malign white Republican men, but she is also doing so on the basis of physical appearance alone. And here I thought that the left was fond of scolding people who judge others by their looks?

So. I'm sorry to report that President Bush's most loyal supporters look just like him: White, male, middle-aged and slightly stupid (sorry guys, I calls 'em like I sees 'em).

Now, I'd love to say that all Democrats look like Michael Moore; Fat, ugly and slightly stupid. But, it just wouldn't be true. Some look like Cameron Diaz; skinny, pretty and slightly stupid. So, I would never claim to know a Democrat merely by their physical appearance. But, not so for Parvez and her self-proclaimed ability to discern a person's entire life and philosophy at a mere glance.

I congratulate her for her mental acuity... or gymnastics, whichever fits best.

But, wait, it isn't just Bush supporters that are in for a slap by our columnist, Parvez. Ann Coulter gets a smack down, too.

I promise that if I ever see the dark day when I agree with that boney GOP mouthpiece whose name I won't mention -- you know, the blond broad who looks like a D.C. prostitute -- I'll start cutting and snorting lines of Drano crystals.

Wait a minute. How can Ann be a Republican if she is skinny and female?

Next our pop culture wiz carps about the Clinton administration...

These guys remain supportive despite the fact that Bush's administration is stinkier than hot garbage. He rewarded crony after crony with positions in his administration...The few decent people who found a job with Bush ended up resigning...

Oh, wait. She did say Bush there. It seemed an enumeration of the Clinton years. My mistake there.

And, of course, this pro-terror columnist is also against the war on terrorism.

Oh, yes, and then there's that matter of Bush's asinine "war on terror."

Now it isn't just for their physical appearance that she attacks. She also doesn't like them because they are church goers and married.

If you're conservative, an evangelical Christian, white and in your 40s, you could be a Bushie. Live in a rural area? Married? From the South or the West part of the U.S.? Go to a church at least once a week? Then you're more likely to support both the president and whatever it is he thinks he's doing in Iraq.

All in all the pap vomited out in the pages of the Seattle P-I are typical hate-speak against Republicans employed by the extreme leftists like those in the nutroots. So, she isn't really all that hip and edgy. Yes, fairly prosaic leftism there.

But here is the worst thing of her screed and it is at the end of the piece.

D. Parvaz is an editorial writer and member of the P-I Editorial Board

A member of the editorial board? A woman who can write with such vitriol against her political foes, a woman who barely has enough control of her emotions to sit herself before a keyboard to succeed in typing in full sentences is trusted to be an editor guiding the content of the paper?

I'll bet THAT paper puts out some unbiased work, eh?

Damn, she nailed me! 

Damn, she nailed me!  Except I'm in my fifties.  Gosh, I stink!  I hate being me!  Ruth would probably argue with the "slightly stupid" part though.

Multi-Culturalism

Gee what happened to multi-culturalism and celebrating diversity? This is a minority group she is speaking out against.

 

Hate is a liberal family

Mean people suck - unless they're left wing

The south used to be for bigots. Now it's the blue states:)

and this is leap year

It does my heart good to know that these people have gone through a long, long, long and agonizing 6+ years of this. Whenever I feel let down, I perk right up just thinking about this.

And the best part is??? Next year is leap year. An extra day, baby!

So next Feb 29, poke a Lib in the ribs and say "Bonus day -- don'cha love it" and watch them break down.

Seattle PI, how stupid is lib stupid ?

I'd say lib stupid is this stupid:

" If you're conservative,...., you could be a Bushie."

There you have it straight from her text, the braindead lib zombie makes a connection.

Gosh, they know so much it's almost as intimidating as balboa's prescient and insightful postings.

Next thing you know the bimbo from SPI will figure out that if you're a liberal tree hugging surrender moonbat, you might support Pelosi and Reed.

75% correct

 Well,  one more knuckle headed reporter showing her butt.  I guess they'll never learn.  I too am in my 50's, and by God that is middle age!! LOL.. and alas, my wife is likely to agree with 25% of that remark...lol 

}}---> EWW stinky

"Stinkier than hot garbage"  Oh, that was so funny, I forgot to laugh.

What a wordsmith she is.

~LYDSEXICS UNTIE!~

Thank you for that

Thank you for that wonderful piece, WTH. As I had just remarked in another post, circulation is decreasing for the major papers, and I have to believe that some part of that is due to the blatant bias they trowel out on a daily basis. 

Now add BDS to the mix, and the decrease should be even faster! It's amazing how that column can be considered as reasonable, whereas, if it was written by a conservative against a democrat president, it would be a hit piece, and he would be called out all day long to be fired! 

These people will die angry and bitter. ;^)

Yes! Have some.

These people will die angry

These people will die angry and bitter. ;^)

Oh, I wouldn't wish anger and bitterness upon them. As to the other part....

Oh, I'm not wishing it on

Oh, I'm not wishing it on them at all, merely stating fact... I just calls them as I sees them  ;^)

 

Yes! Have some.

LOL

angry and bitter

well.. Warner Todd..you're half right...lol

Caption?

The caption under  Ms. Parvaz' picture should read, "Ms. Parvaz proves once again how smart she is, as shown here holding the box of chocolates she recently debated."

Bush's assinine war on terror, I mean . . Gee Whiz . . How assinine BOOOOM! - - Ms. Parvaz permanently interrupted by an assinine terror cell.

Life is like a box of chocolates

sad sack

The worst is that these sad-sack ignoramuses get away with writing this stupidity. Lefties like her think they are so "cute", as they make fools of themselves. Ignorance is bliss.Thanks for calling her on it, Warner.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

P.S. She sure is ugly! Reminds me of the wicked witch in the Wizard.That doesn't make her a liberal, does it?

Oh but the reality-based truthers are smart

Face it, last night's History Channel special on 9-11 moonbats (the conspiracy believers who think the USA did 9-11) showed the ugly reality of intellectual impoverishment on the left.

The ivory tower limousine libs know how churn out eloquent sounding hate that passes as intelligence, but there is no doubt at all that leftist foot soldiers are as dumb as rocks.

 

  Wait a minute, I could

 

Wait a minute, I could be wrong, but isn't Bill Clinton, John Edwards, John Kerry.. etc.. "White, male, middle-aged and slightly stupid"? I think we can go somewhere with this...

As is most of comedy

As is most of comedy central

This girl did her "research"

She snorted her research i think...

Speaking of John Kerry, I

Speaking of John Kerry, I find it funny how the media portrays Bush as a stupid idiot and Kerry was this smart, elitist when Bush actually had higher grades than Kerry.

 I am a Latino, born in Venezuela and I support George W. Bush.  Hmmmm....I wonder what this woman would do if she found out that her stereotyping of Bush's supporters is 100% WRONG!!! 

My sisters, also Latinas are Bush supporters and so is my mother, my father, my wife (who is Mexican).   These people do live in a bubble don't they.

let us not forget that the left wing in America is the most hateful group of individuals that has ever existed on planet Earth.  If it was up to them, they would put all Conservatives in concentration camps for not being Liberals. 

futbolisgreat1

You support Bush??

Then, according to Ms. Pavaz, you must have an inner stupid white guy trying to burst out.

Stand back, this could get messy!

I have often found that the

I have often found that the biggest racist are those that scream the loudest about racism.

 Yes, the left in america is full of racist pigs.  In college I was constantly called an Uncle Tom, a sell out by white Liberals just because I was not a Liberal.  These people are hateful and mean.  They love to stereotype anyone they do not agree with, but becareful if you stereotype someone that is in a group that they consider protected.  

I have never experience racism from a black, white, asian, latino, etc Republican/Conservative.  But I have experience racism directed towards me coming from Liberals/Democrats.  I know that not all Liberals/Democrats are racist, but I do believe that most racism comes from Liberals/Democrats. 

You will also find that the biggest racist in America are Liberal Latinos, blacks and Liberal females. 

I often say that Liberals are always judging others according to how they feel.  Since they are a bunch of racist fools, they believe that all Americans must feel like they do.

I have noticed (here in Texas) there are many Latinos who refuse to be herded as one big bunch Longhorns up the cattle trail. 

Some came upon right thinking in seeing dad getting up for work every morning and asking for nothing more than the chance to prove what they could do.

Others came here to be Americans.  God bless Americans.

Hmmm... it looks as though the readers of the Seattle PI are a bit Annoyed...

I read those too. Notice

I read those too.

Notice how the commenter nbradbury uses the tired "point out Anne Coulters bad behavior to justify this bad behavior"? Straight out of liberal arguments 101.

This isn't a racist piece, just look at what Anne Coulter has said...

LMAO! 

 

Yes! Have some.

I like the defense about

I like the defense about this racism being "statistically" backed or something along those lines, so that makes it OK!

Hey don't n*gg*rs commit most crimes? Black folks must be born criminal. I have statistics that back this up:)...

Yikes!

She/He/It's ugly.

You have to cut her some slack for her hatred of white men though, I mean, the only "white" guys she's exposed to are those wimpy, lispy, cowardly "gay" angry scrawny knuckled little misfits on the left.

 

I mean, come on, what REAL white man would risk a sexual harrassment lawsuit to say "hello" to her.

Brilliance

Seriously...  She the kind of pent up crab that you avoid at work.  What is UP with the short hair too?  I going to stoop to her level for a second here and point out the fact that she has rather a squirrelly look about her.  She also appears to have the 'rebel goth' look too.  The look of the people who try so hard to look like they don't follow the trends...yet they all look alike.  Silly liberals

 

The American Revolution Continued

The fact that her

The fact that her "argument" presented here resorts to name calling speaks volumes about her own intelligence.

Elitest?

Oh, how lefties hate being called elitists.  They think they're regular people (see Mark Finkelstein's Monday piece on Mike Barnicle).  They get even more exorcised when they're called that awful name to their faces.  But what better example they are indeed exactly that than the ramblings of Ms. Parvez?  Next time a lefty gives you a hard time about use of the "elitist" term, just refer them to the works of dear, sweet Dorothy . . . . but be sure not to use Mike Barnicle as an example.  He's just a "regular guy". 

This is actually getting

This is actually getting away from Mr. Huston's main point, but the one comment in Parvez's diatribe which jumped out at me was:

" Oh, yes, and then there's that matter of Bush's asinine "war on terror.""

It's pretty clear that one of the central tenants of the left is to reject the "so called" war on global terrorism as a opportunistic invention of the Bush administration. Which got me thinking ...

I know the Democratic presidential candidates will talk about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the extent that they can use it to bludgeon the Republicans, but have or will any of them actually address the global war on terror?

To do so would seem to affirm the existence of something the far left simply rejects as real.

Lost in the OODA loop

The Democrat Party and the American Left in general have become stuck in a dangerous OODA loop (Orientation, Observation, Decision, Action).  They have become so convinced of the correctness of their orientation, that George Bush and the Republicans are “evil,” “racists,” or whatever the buzzword of the day is, that they have become incapable of making any decision or taking any action that does not have this orientation as it’s basic underlying foundation.  Any information or fact that may contradict this orientation is ignored or dismissed out of hand.  By having done so they have lost all sense of history and blinded themselves to the many dangers of the current world, and refused to see that there truly are enemies out there that seek to destroy us, and if given the opportunity would not hesitate to do so with out regard to anyone’s political affiliation.  To the left, unseating what they see as the Republican “evil” has become more important than protecting the nation as a whole. 

 So then let’s call this what it is: naked grasping for power, and it has led to a greater and greater alienation of the American voters.  The time has come for the left to wake up and see that we are all Americans first and Democrats or Republicans second, or we surely will have the one party state they so fear, and they will have no one but themselves to blame for it.

I contend it is impossible

I contend it is impossible for the left to have a sense of history. The know no history. When someone points out something historical and it comes to their limited attention span they attempt to revise it to their late 20th/21st century PC values. Their attention span only encompasses approximately 2 weeks. Leftism is a form of ADD and Turette's syndrome combined.

ed board

I think being on the editorial board means that she is on the board that writes editorials and supervises the editorial page. It's still egregious . If that's the kind of thinking that goes into the paper's opinion pieces, then the PI has very little intellectual credibility.

Parvaz

OMG, Parvaz has finally found us out. Now, I guess, we 50% who voted for Bush twice must now skulk away, jump into bed, and pull the covers over our heads, and let Hillary saunter into the Oval Office.

Time and time gain, NB profiles those who dis’ 50% of the population, and I find no rhyme or reason what they hope to gain by doing so because, we, who are the subject of their discontent, only dig our heels in deeper with each article such as this.

I can only surmise that, in Parvaz’s case, she is attempting to establish her liberal credentials with her like compadres. Maybe she has illusions of one day writing for The Washington Post or The New York Times.

Dreams, sometimes, do come in convoluted packages.

So. I'm sorry to report

So. I'm sorry to report that President Bush's most loyal supporters look just like him: White, male, middle-aged and slightly stupid (sorry guys, I calls 'em like I sees 'em).

Ah...the tolerance and compassion of the Left is seen here once again...

I fit that category but I don't consider myself stupid (IQ is 140 +-) .

 

I attend church but do not pretend to be overly religious. I personally oppose abortion but if the state says it is ok then I support it when limited to the first trimester.

 

I thought Iraq was a mistake but now we are there I support the President.

 

I am from the West and I am a white married male.

 

I do not agree with Bush's policy on immigration.

 

I agree with Bush's effort to reform social security.

 

On some things I agree with Bush and on others I disagree. However, I think he is the greatest President of my lifetime and historically the greatest since Lincoln. He has courage, determination, is intelligent and he cares. He does not govern by polls. He is basically a good man. He doesn't blame others for his difficulty and he never tries to pass the buck.

I can't believe newspaper corporations actually pay people like this to put their inane OPINIONS in newspapers that use precious trees that are cut down to produce paper ... And then there are the folks who actually pay good, hard earned money to buy the newspapers, when they could hear the same bullship by going down to their crowded local BMV everyday.

Whites

Big government and big media have declared war on White Americans decades ago.  Until we have as many White advocates in America as we do Black, Latino, Jewish, Native American etc., we will STILL be backwards on matters regarding race.

It's bad to stereotype people, except when stereotyping Whites as racists, than it's GOOD!  Every anti-White law or rule ever passed was predicated on the false assumption that "There's still a lot of racism in America."  Smug elitists are allowed to mutter this attack on Whites daily without question.  Just what race is being so racist?  Why is this question never asked? 

Because the answer might wake-up the Whites in America to the fact that Anti-White racism is not only accepted today, it's actually encouraged unchallenged by our schools, gummint and MSM.

We don't need big gummint.

We don't need big media.

We need a sense of pride in our heritage.  Not media and public school-induced shame for the purpose of "keeping us down."  If we must all acknowledge all of the myriad "PRIDES" out there, I have a suggestion we don't hear much of today;  White Pride.

It's interesting how many people there are that cannot contemplate such a notion without adding hatred to it.

Yet they pride themselves in their ability to "respect" other races ethnocentricities. Why is such an obvious double-standard the conventional wisdom today?

Whites?

Right on, seejay. And something else. The number of white American males has dwindled in the media, in school administrations, etc. If these commies have their way, the trend will continue. Pour on the guilt; that's what they do. And what, pray tell, has the white male got to be ashamed of --- dying in great numbers in the defense of this nation?--- working every day to support and protect his family? ---bringing more progress to the world than any other group in history? Ashamed?? Stand up and be proud, White American Male!

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

What a pathetic little sk@nk

This little girl is so stupid, she doesn't even know how stupid she is!

I support Bush.  I voted for him twice.  I admire him for being an honorable man.  I am of Viking (hence WHITE) heritage, gun owning (that's for you, Leon ;o), conservative church-going Christian, a woman. 

And I take pride in skewing your so-called statistics, little girl.

Memo from MSM left wing conspiracy: Conservatives are stupid!

Is it me, or is there a sudden flurry of "conservatives are stupid" articles in the MSM lately?  Did some sort of memo go out from Hillary or the DNC?  Maybe they're trying to reassure themselves of their superiority because there are signs that Gen. Petraeus is about to leave them with several eggs each on their faces.
