According to McCain spokeswoman, Northern Virginia is not real Virginia, she just said so. . .

[wndycty]

. . .on MSNBC and the anchor called her on it, gave her a chance to clarify and she didn't. Then he told her she would own that. LOL

[madmax]

1. I am so glad you caught that!

The reporter caught it and asked, 'did you say the 'real' Virginia? WTF is with these jerks.

[Dragonfli]

2. Yeah, I Caught That .. Pootenfarter was it?

[madmax]

5. yup

I can't stand her. She's always smirking and shakes her head from side to side when anyone other her is speaking. GRRRR :mad:

[WA98296]

3. I heard that, at first I thought she said rural, but she said REAL, host was stunned.

[madmax]

8. maybe they'll take a page from Tweety

and start doing their job. Ya know - Fourth Estate and all that bull.

[Xipe Totec]

4. If you give these pugs enough leash they wrap it around their own necks. nt

[countingbluecars]

6. Gee,

I wish I had known that all these years that I have been paying Virginia state taxes.

[ErinBerin84]

7. she screwed up...I hope that the Obama camp is watching.

Afterwards, Kevin said "Boy...that's gonna be a tough one on Monday morning.."

[book_worm]

9. The McLunatics think that the only true Amurikans are rural gunowners who marry their cousins.

[madmax]

11. ,,,

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

15. Duzy....!!!

:rofl:

[polichick]

17. They're the only ones uninformed enough to vote for them.

[WA98070]

Typical RWnut doesn't realize she's insulting people.

[unhappycamper30]

10. I really hope the video goes viral...

What a moron.

[Hepburn]

12. Nancy Poopenfarter is a complete jerk, IMO.

She considers ONLY the Pubbie voting parts of a state the REAL parts?

LOL....:rofl:

No wonder Obama will beat McCain in a landslide!!

[ErinBerin84]

13. good for the anchor for calling her on it!

He said "Nancy...I'm just going to...give you a chance to come down from the ledge here...did you just say "real" Virginia"? And she was like "Well, real virginia! Meaning" (not clarifying)...you could see Kjevin's reaction afterwards and he said "Ok...heh...just letting you know about that one", while shaking his head.

[polichick]

14. She's playing to those "real Virginians" who aren't happy with the changes around DC.

[BklynChick]

16. real Virgina = redneck Virginia she is just awful!

[Arugula Latte]

18. I'm so glad we have these rightwingers to explain who is a real American, a real Virginian, etc.

It gets so confusing otherwise.

[LittleBlue]

19. Forget cesspit Ohio and Florida

The fight is in Virginia. Dems have proven they can win there.

[WA98070]

20. Unwilling to admit she mis-spoke and meant "Rural" Virginia she chose to dig a deeper hole.

[JitterbugPerfume]

21. Keep it up sweetie

we love it when you say stuff like that

[City Lights]

22. John McSlime's brother referred to Northern VA as the communist part of the state.

How patriotic. :eyes:

They're actually proud of the anti-American things they spew.

[pdxmom]

23. So McCain is in Woodbridge, VA and his spokesperson is saying that

isn't "real" Virginia? My famiy and I are amazed to hear that. I was born and raised in Woodbridge and that is where my parents still live. My father, born in Rugby, VA, deep in the heart of Appalachia, is no longer a Virginian, because he lives in Woodbridge? Not only lives there, but is one of the most well known citizens of the area, complete with having a school named after him?

Stupid cow! I'm incensed.

Oh, and my parents are Obama supporters, so the insult is actually lost on them, because they weren't voting for those jackasses anyway.

[ErinBerin84]

26. she didn't even get that she screwed up! It was unbelievable.

[wndycty]

28. What part of the state is Woodbridge in?

:kick:

[pdxmom]

30. It's Northern Virginia. That's what is so stupid. Prince William County. N/T

[wndycty]

31. D'OH!

:kick:

[vademocrat]

24. "George Washington was a Northern Virginian"

In the early '70s my mother came up with this slogan and the Mount Vernon Ladies Democratic Club (yes, that's really what it was called!) printed them up. Members of the General Assembly loved to bash Northern VA....

[nannycee]

25. Transcribed comments here..(TIVO rocks!)

Pfotenhauer: (Discussing Virginia and their need to win it and the fact that she is from Northern Virginia) - "Well, Kevin, I certainly agree that Northern Virginia has gone more Democratic and as a proud resident of Oakton, Virginia, I can tell you that the Democrats have just come in from the District of Columbia and moved into Northern Virginia and that's really what you see there but the rest of the state - REAL VIRGINIA, if you will - I think will be very responsive to Senator McCain's message and remember that, you know, you've got places in other states like Northern Wisconsin and the Iron Range of Minnesota, uh, South Central and South Eastern Pennsylvania, um, the St. Louis suburbs and the rural areas of Missouri that are responsive to, to our message. And, again, we're taking it to 'em in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. He's having to fight to defend there, as you can tell, he's having to deploy people like the Clintons in Pennsylvania and every speech Joe Biden gives, he says "I'm from Scranton." You don't know what else he's going to say but he sure gets that line in.

Kevin: Hey, Nancy, I'm going to give you a chance to climb back off that ledge. Did you say "REAL VIRGINIA?"

Pfotenhauer: Hah Hah! I did say outside of North (garble), I mean REAL VIRGINIA because north Virginia is where I've always been. REAL VIRGINIA I take to be the, the, the, this part of the state that is more SOUTHERN in nature, if you will. Northern Virginia is really metro D.C. as you're aware, Kevin.

(Silence for a moment)

Kevin: Alright, I'm, I'm just gonna let you wear that one. I'm just saying....

Topic moves on with Pfotenhauer forced smiling...

[ErinBerin84]

32. heh

Kevin totally got that it was a fuck up, and said "That's going to be a tough one on Monday morning", after the interview. We should let the Obama campaign know. Someone on general discussion said that an anchor (not sure if it was him or Shuster on now) referred back to it later , mocking "McCain is having a rally now in...'REAL Virginia'.."

[RichGirl]

27. Virginia is a mircrocosm of the whole country...

You've got your Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwell types, your NRA members, your inbred white trash racists, your full out capitalists, your airy fairy new agers, your old money upper crust who think that Virginia is the center of the universe, your run of the mill republicans and democrats...and your blue Northern Virginia...also known as The People's Republic of Alexandria.

[Captiosus]

33. Don't forget

The People's Republic of Hampton Roads, complete with our own flag that looks like the European Union one only with three colors.

Though that does include the traditionally red areas of Virginia Beach, Suffolk and Chesapeake.

Hampton Roads flag:


EU Flag:


:rofl:

[kwolf68]

29. OK, I have a question

I live in Fauquier County (which i am assuming based on her standards is 'real Virginia'). I live here and am VERY Liberal and WILL VOTE for Barack Obama as are many other people here (maybe not a majority, but more than just a few of us).

So am I a real Virginian simply because I live in a pre-ordained 'real Virginia area' even though I will vote for Obama?

Someone help me out of this conundrum.

[pdxmom]

34. Depends on where in Fauquier you live. If you live in Warrenton, you may

very well not be a real Virginian. You're becoming part of the stretch down from Gainesville.

On the other hand, I lived up in Marshall before moving out here, and by God, that was "real Virginia". :sarcasm:

I know this because Marshall was one of the last places in this country where a restaurant owner was criminally charged for refusing to serve blacks. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C03EED71338F93BA25751C1A962948260

[countingbluecars]

37. I remember that restaurant!

When I moved to Rectortown in 1984, they were still proud of their segregation stance.

[pdxmom]

39. Yup. I moved to Marshall in 1982 and didn't know the "story" behind

that restaurant when I first moved there...just heard in town that they had the world's best chili. Went there to try it and they surely did. But that was the one and only time I set foot in that place, once I learned about it. The feds coming in and cleaning it out really lit up our little town. And the restaurant never recovered and closed down soon thereafter.

[Debi]

35. Geez, forget a divided country - let's divide states - counties - neighborhoods

:grr: By Nov. 4th the McCain/Palin campaign is going to have us fighting in the streets.

[Captiosus]

36. Brother fighting brother... why does this sound so familiar

here in Virginia?

Sigh.
The Republican brand of "politics" will tear this country apart.

[Debi]

38. Their banking on it. - a divided country is the only way they can win

They don't care about the country they'll potentially inherit - only about the win.

[sarahdemva]

40. I live in virginia. I spit on this mccain surrogate

Us real virginians have elected jim webb to the senate, tim kaine as governor, and we will elect mark warner as senator. We will also give Obama our votes in november.

[wndycty]

41. Here you go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAhUSpklH7I

[lessthanjake]

42. I mean...it's kinda true...

I'm from Fairfax County (the heart of Northern VA), and it is true that Northern Virginia is nothing like the rest of Virginia. It is sorta untactful for a campaign operative to say that though. Its needlessly divisive.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. This means that the Pentagon, which is located in NoVA is... gulp....

full of COMMIES!!!! And Ronald Reagan International is a.... OMG!!! A COMMIE AIRPORT!!!11111111!!!!!! OH NOESSSSSS!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!

Time for Pfluffernutter to be disappeared so she can spend more time with her family. :eyes:
