EH IT’S JUST AN OLD PERSON PHRASE: What is this thing in our inbox: “In a new column, MSNBC pundit Pat Buchanan refers to the Nicaraguan president as ‘the scrub stock of the hemisphere.’ What does ‘scrub stock’ mean? It turns out it’s an antiquated phrase referring to an inferior breed of farm animal — and eugenicists once extended the use of the phrase beyond animals and into humans.” For the 1,000-word insanely over-researched etymological report that ultimately concludes that Pat Buchanan probably meant nothing racial was a terrible, snarling racist when he used this old-timey metaphor, TPM Muckraker has the scoop!

Exactly. He’s not a racist, he’s just a holocaust denier.
why doesn’t he just go somewhere and take a long nap?
do we really need his opinion on anything?
Lots of money shots lately…
He wasn’t being racist; he was being PC, right NoLeeps?
Having read a bit about the Irish in US America, I’m not surprised that a number of them (O’Reilly and Buchanan among them) are picking up what folks used to do to the Irish.
It wasn’t long ago when Olson Johnson’s words in Blazing Saddle weren’t a joke.
“All right… we’ll give some land to the niggers and the chinks. But we don’t want the Irish!”
I’m sure he used it crudely, for the express purposes of its derogatory connotation. But so what?
I like Pat Buchanan. He’s a racist old coot, and does this all the time, but is now harmless and elderly. Meh. I’m sure he’s willing to admit Mexicans make very good boxers and 2nd basemen, so he can’t be all the way racist, right?
Right?
Eh, wake me when he says something like jigaboo, spear chucker, or pickaninny. Until then, he’s just your garden variety anti-semitic wanna-be fascist.
Klan/Teabaggers/Wingnut code words. They probably have a bible full of them. There’s a million of them on the Nixon tapes. Right Pat???
Bu-Bye Grand Am, I hardly knew ya:

Holy shit Buchannan! I tried telling you that if you started dirty dancing with that Fluzey pig this was gonna happen.
I guess my momma was way wrong when she referred to his type as “shanty Irish white trash.” Even people up from the trailer park need somebody to look down on.
[re=299291]Custerwolf[/re]:
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I’m pretty sure he meant it as a racial slur. Pat’s well versed in the Eugenics movement which basically considered brown people to be “scrub stock”.
Wait. Shouldn’t Pat Robertson just have a Twitter just like all those other closet-case wrinkle fucker Christ clowns?
And our President is a mutt, so they should be proud.
The Newell alt-texts don’t come often, but when they do they sing.
“Scrub stock?” That’s one tar baby to stay away from.
What is it with these rightwingers and animal sex?
[re=299294]Nerdalicious[/re]: Picturing you laughing makes me laugh.
[re=299298]Crab1[/re]:
“Well, ya know Chris (slobber, slobber), when I was Dick Nixon’s Press Secretary, blah, blah, blah, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Run out of the room screaming.
Buchanan didn’t mean anything by it — it’s just a pet name, like “macaca”.
I guess it would be too much to hope that he meant “scrub” in the hangin’-out-the-passenger-side-of-his-best-friend’s-ride sense.

It’s me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since “sweatin’ like a nigger on election day” was taken away from PaBu by Berry’s coronation, this racist epithet will have to do. But I’ll bet he’s got a million of them.
[re=299326]bitchincamaro[/re]:
PaBu love it! PaBu is just one degree of separation from the beloved George Wallace let’s face it. He even looks like him. “Picture of Dorian Grey”. All those haters start to look alike at some point.
Why does Pat have such a generous dose of male discharge on his head?

[re=299343]Nerdalicious[/re]: “fliry pig.”
‘pears some wingnut’s stole yer ‘t.’
[re=299346]Nerdalicious[/re]: Honey – that was both cruel and unusual.
[re=299354]Custerwolf[/re]:
Yeah, Bay’s “procedure” is on the list of the torture memos you will be hearing about at Cheney’s, Rove’s & Gonzalez’s trial. Unfortunately, the “enhanced interrogation technique” did not enhance Bay’s “look”, so she wears these ginormous glasses to hide the fail. Note the “surprised” look that never goes away even during sleep. Well, hot damn! Those “t” crazy bastards. I’ll git ‘em.

He wears Tucker’s load quite well. Eat your heart out Belladonna!
He has some nerve calling the guy scrub stock, when Pat’s wearing a bucket of bull sperm on his punkin’ head.
“Fliry pig?”
I love to have no idea what people are talking about.
It took a lot of asking around my rural Ohio community to finally find out what a ‘rimjob’ was (for those of you who aren’t aware, priests know A LOT about these categories of definitions).
What the hell is a fliry pig?
“Shelley, dearest, should I part my cum-wad over to the right side or to the left side today?”
[re=299396]Scandinavian Fetus[/re]:
My bad. I left the “t” out of flirty, which Custerwolf has berated me publicly for. Thanks Custerwolf! Upstream Custerwolf made a funny about the previous hilarious post a few hrs ago, about the pig (see video). So, Custerwolf said:
“Holy shit Buchannan! I tried telling you that if you started dirty dancing with that Fluzey pig this was gonna happen.”
Then I said:
“Custerwolf says cuz he was dirty dancing with flirTy pig.” I really should have said Fluzey which was much funnier than “flirty”.
My posts are so f****d up that I have to explain them ad nauseum Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Damn nab wingnuts stole my “t” & f****d up this entire blog!
[re=299396]Scandinavian Fetus[/re]:
See previous hilarious post (video with pig)
“EL CERDO BAILARíN Terrible New Mexican Pig Flu To Kill Us All”
[re=299411]Nerdalicious[/re]: No problem.
Thank you for the explanation.
You should hear, or see, what my priest says a “fliry” is….or maybe, he thought I said “furry.”
[re=299424]Scandinavian Fetus[/re]: I don’t mean “my” priest. I mean, the local priest.
TLC – no scrubs.
Yee-gads! That photo! Did Pat win the Glenn Beck auction?
[re=299424]Scandinavian Fetus[/re]:
What does he say “fliry” is?
[re=299271]taylormattd[/re]: One of my proudest moments ever was the Sunday before the ’92 election, when CBS Face The Nation ran a clip of me, your humble-but-handsome secret lover Bearbloke, calling ol’ Pat a Fascist on national tv… of course, I didn’t see it first-hand since I was still asleep when it aired, but I got a msg from my uncle later that day about it, and when I went to work on Monday, as I passed through the cafeteria on the way to my office, one of the lunch-ladies came out and told me “honey, I saw you on tv yesterday tellin’ the truth!”
I know this will shock a lot of people, but Pat Buchanan was a big fan of The Bell Curve, that piece of eugenicist pseudo-pop-science crap that made a brief splash in 1994.
[re=299430]Nerdalicious[/re]: You’re kidding, right?
Anyway, a “fliry” is that thing between men’s legs that can be raised “like Lazarus” by the “Hand of God” or the sacred right hand of one of his adolescent male servants…while wearing a nylon and reading from Summa Theologica.
Anything else I can define from rural Americana?
Of course I’m kidding!
What does this mean?
“Well that just dills my pickle!”
pat is definitely in my top 5, when it comes to my favorite half dead, racist crackers.

Well, butter my butt & call me a bisquit!
Scrub stock? That better describes the Wall Street and bankster crowd. Pat is a good-natured fun guy, a populist, and a voice for the working and middle class folks in America. His honesty on matters of race and Israel get him in trouble from time to time. But he is sincere, and not a racist or anti-Semite. Pat is a breath of fresh air among the media and chattering class. Go Pat!
Pat and his ilk crack me up with this shit. I’m sure there were alot of people in the 19th Century US the Irish immigrants when the set foot on American soil. In fact, weren’t they on the level of freed blacks back then?
[re=299702]Schadenfried[/re]: Yes, my grandmother, born 1903, remembered a sign in front of a business that no “Irish dogs” need apply for jobs.
This is why Barton is against teh hybrids, because of race mixing.
[re=299700]bunnyhead[/re]: But he is sincere, and not a racist or anti-Semite. Pat is a breath of fresh air among the media and chattering class. Go Pat!
No, actually, at best, PaBu is an amiable racist and certified nutjob. But a racist nonetheless. Check out his latest book for further proof, where he advocates for Britain giving Hitler a free rein in Eastern Europe during WW2 rather than fighting him. Or go back and read some of his speeches from his failed run for president. He is the classic divide & conquer politician, pitting pissed off and fearful (of losing their jerbs) whiteys against whoever is the day’s hated minority. Usually Mexicans. He was Lou Dobbs before Lou was Lou Dobbs. Please do not defend this assclown by calling his racism ‘honesty’ which just gets him into trouble every now & again. Dress it up however you like, it’s still racism.
[re=300083]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Racist? How can you call him racist when he obviously loves doing Aunt Jemima in the raw?
[re=299702]Schadenfried[/re]: Yeah, but we were too drunk to care.
