A Virginia Liberal

A couple of the more amusing/disturbing quotes heard while working at a summer camp last week.

From two girls playing some sort of ‘house’ game, with dinosaurs as their characters “Are you going to marry him?” “Last time I was married he hissed at me and whacked me.”

From a boy grabbing his crotch- “GRAGGHHHH!!!!”. He grabbed himself about every thirty seconds, and every time he did he let forth this neolithic growl.

From a boy to a girl “I’ve got a snake in my pants, wanna see it?” In case you were wondering, these kids are all about five or six.

From the girls playing dinosaurs “I’m just checking you out. Nice tail.”

And finally from another counselor, older than me “Go wash your hands so you can play outside.” No, that counselor wasn’t me. It was a woman way more imperious, demanding, demeaning, and aged than me. Good idea, wouldn’t want to bring germs from the carpet over to the sand.

I’d like to start this off with a direct quote from Bill

“The African-American community does not understand that they must aggressively pursue their child’s welfare. That is they have to stop drinking, they have to stop taking drugs and boozing and–and whites do it, too! Whites do it, too!”-The O’Reilly Factor, 1/17/00
Questions, anyone? Though it’s possible this was just a bad moment, it looks to me like, in the middle of saying how much he hates blacks, “taking drugs and boozing and…” he suddenly realized how bad his opinion sounded and instead of listing another fault of the African American community, he instead said “whites do it too!” Like I said, it’s possible he just misspoke this time, but I doubt it. Take a look at this.

“Did Jesse Jackson Pay His Mistress With Funds Donated to Charity?”-Opening story of the O’Reilly Factor, 4/2/01

“How Personal Are African-Americans Taking the Moral Failures of Reverend Jesse Jackson?” 2/19/01

So, fine, he hates blacks. And he purportedly has a picture of Hillary Clinton on the doormat at his office, so it’s safe to say he’s not a big fan of liberals, either.
And yet he still calls himself an independant. I guess maybe if he hated conservatives as much he could keep those credentials.

For example, this wholehearted attack on Cheney, from 5/1/01, regarding how Cheney the oil man was appointed to formulate the administration’s policy.

“I would rather have a Cheney–even though I might disagree with him sometimes–at least trying to do something, than the hypocrites we had in [the] Clinton/Gore administration.” Good thing we’ve got you guarding the gates, Bill. Those wanting more on Bill should check in tomorrow.
