Sadly, No!==Sadly, unsurprising…. like ‘dog bites man’….
1. HE’S ALIVE!!!!!!
2. Tammy Bruce is just as representative of “the right” as Peggy Noonan is of “the left”.
Farris, you’re right, so let’s just ignore the nationally syndicated radio host calling the POTUS a coon.
Billo will continue to book her as a guest
Wait, wait, Sadly, No!.
Everyone here tells me this is a parody site, so this is parody, right?
A joke, right?
Did a certain poster here photoshop that picture to Tammy Bruce’s blog or something, and everyone’s cool about it?
She has a pet raccoon, she likes raccoons, and was comparing the Nobel to a cracker jack prize. Sheesh, lighten up.

Yeah. That’s it.

Gosh, I wonder what would happen if Concern Troll would simply click on the link to Tammy Bruce’s site.
Yeah, I know, racism is in the eye of the observer. Let’s just skip the same repetitive, futile discussion this time.
Can’t wait to hear what Robert Stacy “Race Mixing is Icky” McCain thinks about this. Maybe Ol’ Gumshoe Bob will “investigate.”

Really, Dennis? It’s a photoshop? That’s what you’re going with?
No, no, fafaroo, I get the parody that Quibbie was telling me about Sadly, No! is so good at, now.
The word ‘cracker’ on Cracker Jacks.
It’s really that’s she’s racist against whites.
Sorry, took me a few minutes to get that.
Sorry, took me a few minutes to get that.
No need to apologize, Dennis. We’re all aware of your disability and we applaud your daily brave struggle to “get it.”
And fafaroo, I guess since you were oblivious to the proper use of the ellipsis when Media Matters did the chop-shop thing on the Michael Savage quote, you probably don’t have a problem with putting quotations around something she didn’t say nor would say in the title of a blog post, do you?
Tough to “get it” when all you watch is Fox News, all you listen to is Heavily Medicated Father Coughlin.
when Media Matters did the chop-shop thing on the Michael Savage quote
link?
Wait, wait, Sadly, No!.
Everyone here tells me this is a parody site, so this is parody, right?
A joke, right?
Please don’t make me break out the still unapologized-for David Weigel quote.
…you probably don’t have a problem with putting quotations around something she didn’t say nor would say in the title of a blog post, do you?
That’s funny coming from a guy who regularly does that himself.
But it’s a cute little coon.
Oliver, you’re really reaching now.
Quotation marks did the disappearing act.
So, please refresh my memory, when did I ever do that, fafaroo.
I’ll ask that they be taken off if they were anywhere near as egregious, how about that?
Quotation marks did the disappearing act.
So no link? Did the dog eat your homework?

And what was your reply to Sean’s criticism: ‘When in Rome, Sean.”
Thank God for a little plausible deniability, eh conserva-trolls?
Indeed, I don’t dance for you. Search for it yourself.
Here’s a hint: It was during the time you took a hiatus from here in order to change your identity.
Good luck.
Indeed, I don’t dance for you. Search for it yourself.
Shorter Fake Citation Troll: I got nuthin.
Maybe we should put Ol’ Gumshoe Bob, Robert Stacy “Emmett Till had it coming” McCain, on the case?
Patterico eloquently pontificates on the parody post by Sadly, No! and Tammy Bruce’s pet raccoon.
Sadly, No! Sees the RACISMS!! in Tammy Bruce’s Photo of Her Pet (UPDATED)
Wow, Dennis. You cut and pasted that headline verbatim. How did that feel?
Sadly, No! Sees the RACISMS!! in Tammy Bruce’s Photo of Her Pet (UPDATED)
Gosh, I wonder why Sadly No! sees that. Hmm. Thinking…thinking…
And it turns out that Tammy Bruce is a Fox News contributor. Who knew?
Oliver, you know the threshold: unless someone outright calls Obama the N-word, it doesn’t count. Hints, subtle cues, wink&nods…all these things can be interpreted a buhmillion different ways and gives the racists enough cover.
Unless, of course, you refer to that one time Obama said “pitbull” on the campaign trail. That was totally a vicious assault on Sarah Palin.
I’m just wondering why you were able to see the racism connotation, Indeed, when exactly none of her commenters ever did.
Zero.
Seriously, it’s not just Jaim here acting like Flip from Whiteboyz.
There’s really nothing much more pathetic I can think of, even though a lot of things I’ve witnessed here come close, than white guys like you trying to act like you’re fighting racism with these silly exploitations of things that are in no way racist. It’s like watching and being interested in the poor acting in a really bad movie just for the entertainment value of it.
Anything else Tammy Bruce ever did with her pet raccoon in regards to either Obama or a person of color that might lend even just the slightest bit of credence to your hypothesis that this was somehow meant to be a racist depiction of Obama, Pyrme? She’s been on the radio a lot and on TV; any quotes of hers that might hint that she’s a racist?
I mean, surely you have tons of stuff to support it, right? I guess you could search for it on Media Matters, but I see even they called her pet a ‘raccoon’ instead of a ‘coon’. Maybe somewhere else, though, no?
Personally, I find the juxtaposition of Internet thug Patterico and the word “eloquent” to be hi-larious.
I actually anticipate our grand defenders of racism could even find plausible justification for use of the N-word on Obama:
I’ll ask that they be taken off if they were anywhere near as egregious, how about that?
So, Dennis …
Sorry, fafaroo, I’m a man of my word but that is nowhere near as egregious at the title to the post of this thread, both as it was before he had the quote marks and now. She had a picture of her pet raccoon eating cracker jacks from a box in which she had previously posted about Obama finding his Nobel Prize in a box of cracker jacks. The word ‘coon’ never was in her post.
Do you defend this? Too?
fafaroo, do you have any thoughts on Tammy Bruce being a racist at all?
Do you think she is a racist and was being racist when she posted the pic of her pet raccoon?
You have a curious habit of being somewhat non-committal on some of the more ridiculous allegations threads like these.
Oh, I see the internet trolls have congregated here on a slow news day…
*snore*
Sorry, fafaroo, I’m a man of my word but that is nowhere near as egregious at the title to the post of this thread …
Just like you defended Palin for not being as big a liar as Grayson, so her lies were okay, you’re know claiming that you’re blatant dishonesty is not as bad as Oliver’s, so your blatant and obvious dishonesty is cool.
Equally apparent is your arrogance as you’ve appointed yourself the judge of who should be held responsible for their lies and dishonesty, and who gets a pass. Neat that you gave yourself a pass, too.
Tammy Bruce, fafaroo?
“…you probably don’t have a problem with putting quotations around something she didn’t say nor would say in the title of a blog post, do you?”
It’s lovely that you’ve now decided there are “degrees” to which distorting a headline is okay once you got called out as as one who indulges in the practice.
You weren’t quite so equivocal when you were condemning Oliver.
Tammy Bruce, fafaroo?
Isn’t the subject of the post honesty, Dennis? I think it’s pretty evident that you’re not qualified to discuss the matter.
Boy cries wolf (again.) Film at 11:00.
Oh wait. Is that racist? I mean surely using the word boy, even in a metaphoric reference to an Oliver Willis (a black man) post must be racist. But how can it be if the commenter is also a black man?
I know- must be a self hating black man. Glad I could work that out for all of you before I even hit “submit.”
(Did I use the quotation marks right?)
Damn racists.
Dennis, could you please get off the shtick about Tammy and “her pet raccoon”?
You have use that phrase 5x in this thread so far (2:59, 3:49 [twice], 4:39, and 4:44). One might think, based on your repeated use of the phrase, that this was truly a picture of Tammy’s pet raccoon (and that somehow proves that she is not a racist).
Sadly, no.
From Patterioco himself:
I know the standard wingnut MO is to make up a lie and then repeat it over and over in the expectation that at least some people will eventually believe that it’s true. But this is just ridiculous — apparently, you did not even read the entire Patterico post that YOU linked to in order to “prove” your case.
What a moran.
I don’t think Tammy gives a shit whether she’s racist or not.
What matters to her is the use of intentional (but camouflaged) liberal-irritating political incorrectness to try and milk more support from her fans. Sadly, this happens far too often with conservative “pundits” these days.
I’m just wondering why you were able to see the racism connotation, Indeed, when exactly none of her commenters ever did.
I bet that’s a braintrust.
I’m a man of my word
Riggghhhhhhhttttt.

Republicans sure do love their dog-whistles.
But it’s nice to know Oliver back, and hence Dennis has meaning in his life once again.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Look, this is just embarrassing. I understand and agree that hate speech should be monitored and confronted, but come on. To make any kind of a deal out of this is ridiculous.
You know how a lot of Republicans like to try to get under the skin of their opponents by referring to “the Democrat party” instead of “the Democratic party”? It’s annoying, it’s puerile, it’s grammatically incorrect, yeah yeah yeah whatever — it’s to be ignored. When you engage in a power struggle with adults who are acting like children, you become childish. And when you’re constantly on the lookout for people who might be messing with you, you start seeing things that aren’t there. Paranoia makes you sloppy.
There’s nothing here.
It’s race hustling, Felix, pure and simple.
Apparently it’s a fun sport for the usuals here who are aficionados at it.
