"I want my America back" sobbed one woman at a town hall meeting

[question everything]

"go tell this to the Indians"

from the Daily Show

(Sorry did not catch his name, he is the "black" commentator and a great one)

[MichiganVote]

1. So do the Native Americans lady

[sharesunited]

2. This guy.

[question everything]

8. Thanks. Wow! And all I've seen him is on the Daily Show

certainly an accomplished person.

"Senior Black Correspondent" - good one!

[eleny]

3. Tried to give you a 6th Rec but someone must have unrec'd at the same time

x(

[lunatica]

5. I rec'd the person who unrec'd your rec

[eleny]

7. Why you....

[lunatica]

13. Or did I unrec the unrec'er who unrec'd your rec?

I'm so confused! All I know is I rec'd after you said you rec'd when someone unrec'd so I rec'd to make your rec count.

Is that cleared up now?

[eleny]

38. Aw, that's the sweetest thing!

[question everything]

6. Thanks.

there are DUers who would "U" me just for the sake of doing so. Anonymously, of course.

:shrug:

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. Seems too be a lot of that happening lately.

:shrug:

[noiretextatique]

43. lots of trolls lately eom

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. Larry Wilmore

[question everything]

9. Thanks! (nt)

[tuvor]

10. Well, there's another Daily Show joke I won't be laughing at tonight.

Please remember your fellow DUers out west, where the Daily Show hasn't been broadcast yet. A spoiler alert would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

[question everything]

17. Oops, sorry. Will keep this in mind in the future

But do watch it. This was just one sentence from a great exchange between the two of them.

[tuvor]

22. Thanks, question everything.

I would've watched it regardless. Which I did. A good show as usual.

If it weren't for TDS—and DU—I'd be a lot more worried about my southern neighbours.

[young_at_heart]

11. I sobbed that very thing from 2001 to 2009

I'm nearly 70 years old and the America I've known all these years disappeared when Bush and his gang took over. There wasn't one day in all that time when I didn't feel like "my" America had vanished!

[DesertRat]

12. I felt the same way

Where were these outraged town hall protesters during the Bush/Cheney regime!!

[lunatica]

14. They were thanking God for guiding Bush to that war

[Gemini Cat]

16. Exactly. +1

What a nasty collection of sheeple.

[Touchdown]

19. That's the America they want back.

Insane, I know.:eyes:

[bkkyosemite]

15. What she means is I wanted to win, I wanted to win, Damnit I wanted to win. I don't like losing

I don't like losing. I don't want that kind in my White House I don't want that kind in my White House...of course I mean a Democrat...but then again she could have a hidden agenda......

[Saboburns]

18. Methinks her country existed only in her mind

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

Frank Zappa

[GreenTea]

20. Yeah well, eight years of corporations do-as you-please Bush took away....

this country from everyone else.....

Except, the republican elitist, the wealthy and the corporations....allowed the raiding of our treasury by these republican thugs & criminals, the corporate deregulation free for all, anything goes for profit, including the exploiting and polluting of our lands & resources, tax cuts & tax incentives for the rich & corporations, monopolies allowed to grow at the consumers expense, wars & imperialism aboard based on lies just so corporations could profit, corporate subsidies (welfare), outsourcing of our factory jobs, the wealthy & corporations hiding money off shore to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

The corporate fascist republicans & Bush encouraged it all.

They looked the other way, and then, finally-bailouts for the greedy incompetent corporations with the workers tax dollars...

While the workers and the people received NOTHING as usual from the republicans, except massive debt and the gutting of all our democratic social programs they were fought for by workers from many generations...

Republicans are a disgusting group of criminals, ideology based on elitism, imperialism, racism, hate, lies & greed and hatred of the poor, the sick and the workers!

[Raster]

27. Tell it!!!

:kick:

[kitkat65]

21. It must suck to be old, white and afraid. n/t

[Golden Raisin]

23. That translates as

get those damn you-know-what's (insert favorite racial epithet) out of the White House.

[and-justice-for-all]

24. absurd...

her Amerika went out with the nazis.

[Monk06]

25. I want my (white) America back. She forgot an adjective.

[Number23]

26. lol Why do you have the word black in quotes???

What is that supposed to mean?

[Bluenorthwest]

28. I was wondering that myself.

Odd quote marks are the theme of the day here on DU for some reason.

[tanyev]

30. I think because his title for TDS is Senior Black Correspondent.

Not because he is black.

[Orsino]

32. +1 n/t

[Johonny]

35. yip

[question everything]

34. Because he is a great member of the team

regardless, who is enlisted to provide the "black" perspective and it is a perspective that you will not find anyplace else. I suspect that - this being the Daily Show - "his" perspective would leave many blacks cringe. Certainly not PC.

[zbdent]

29. That would make a great sign for a counter to the idiots ...

"The Indians want their country back."

[steven johnson]

31. welcome to the 'Far Right As Victim' movement

These people were thrilled to their core with Bush-Cheney social egineering. Now that the views of the majority of Americans is again being represented seriously by the Executive branch, they are having an emotional breakdown.

Amazing how sensitive the far right is to social engineering when it is not their social engineering -- and stupid social policy, at that.

[ashling]

33. Translation

I fear for teh WHITE!!!

[OwnedByFerrets]

36. Wouldnt the sensible question to this be "what america is that ma'am"?

[noiretextatique]

44. the one with a white, male president

even a complete failure like bush jr.

[catzies]

37. That's the terrific Larry Wilmore, TDS's "Senior Black Correspondent."

I think he's hilarious. :rofl:
