Uh huh... Right...

Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama
Monday, March 30, 2009
By Hollie McKay

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."

[Teaser]

1. uh, who thinks your racist, Angie...

I'd like some names...

[FrenchieCat]

2. I don't know who this person is,

and that's probably a good thing.

she called the last President "W". That's all I needed to know.

[BlooInBloo]

6. She's one of the few women who's waaay too skinny, but is nevertheless smokingly hawt....

Portia de Rossi is the other that I can think of, off the top of my head.

Apparently she's also not racist. :rofl:

[MADem]

10. Portia is the spouse of Ellen DeGeneres. nt

[BlooInBloo]

13. You didn't have to remind me of that.

Sigh.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

18. I didn't know who this was either, but I'm sorta glad I found out:

I'm pretty sure she isn't racist though...

[Doremus]

66. Beauty is as beauty does.

Underneath that shallow exterior is a shriveled up repuke.

[Teaser]

23. I am just not that into her.

Portia de Rossi, however, is another matter. However, I do not believe that I actually have a shot with her...things being what they are.

[BlooInBloo]

29. No biggie. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.

[dflprincess]

20. She played the Jack McCoy's assistant on "Law & Order"

after Jill Hennesey left the show.

I saw her on Leno once, total air head.

[littlebit]

48. She was the hottest ADA

ever on that show. Well the lady who plays Alex on SVU is the hottest. But as far as the regular Law and Order she was #1.

[BreweryYardRat]

62. Second-hottest.

Elisabeth Rohm is substantially more attractive.

[mrs_p]

70. oh no way

serena was! and i don't even like blonds (or ladies for that matter).

[GentryDixon]

68. I want to goose her to make her speak above a whisper.

[Kerrytravelers]

24. She's married to football player Jason Seahorn, whom I assume also isn't "racist."

:eyes:

[PatSeg]

55. Me either

and why do I care what she thinks?

[BlooInBloo]

3. I've found that one of the quickest ways to discover that someone is racist....

:rofl:

[depakid]

30. That and "I have good friends who are _________"

[BlooInBloo]

31. That definitely competes. lol!

[Thrill]

4. dressing for a recession over here? WTF does that mean?

As usual these RW nuts are idiots.

[Kerrytravelers]

5. "If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist."

Dumb. Just. Dumb.

But, what can you expect? She is a conservative. Thinking isn't what they excel at. That, and spelling.

[spag68]

33. conservative

She's not smart enough to be a conservative.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

7. The Baywatch Nights star is a Sarah Palin fan...

Fantastic.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, and you loved bush and mccain

so your mental capacity is suspect, angie harmon.

[Raineyb]

9. I find that those who most vociferously declare that they're NOT racists

usually are.

Why is anyone listening to her anyway? Isn't her career dead?

Regards

[Cha]

11. On second thought..fuck off, angie..you fascist

faux religious freak.

[Avalux]

12. Thou doth protest too loudly Angie.

You're making a fool out of yourself. :eyes:

[MADem]

14. I find this woman to be a bit creepy--too thin, unhealthy-looking. Pretty face, though.

I apparently don't like her politics, either, if she calls Bush "W" -- that said, though, even if she's a lousy actress (and I don't really know, I never watched much stuff she was in) there's no need to call her "actress"--using the quotes, as if she is a pretender to the position, or something. That IS her job, after all, she was in that series, even if one doesn't like her political leanings.

[Captain Hilts]

26. Isn't she married to Jason Whatshisface formerly of the NY Giants? Sehorn?

[MADem]

28. Some football guy--I remember that he proposed to her on Jay Leno's show.

I watched that creepy, shoulda-been-personal moment over my toes several years back.

[Dr Fate]

71. In my best Chevy Chase voice: "No- I don't like her-she's UGLY!" n/t

n/t

[Botany]

15. Please

Harmon is still rooting for Republican John McCain. "I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience.
I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and 'What
is our president doing? How unclassy!' But Obama does it and no one says anything," Harmon said.

(Ah Ms. Harmon w, McCain, and Reagan all did talk shows .... man is she dumb)



Harmon even thinks Sarah Palin would have done a better job running the country than Obama. "I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto
is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that
this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added.

[EmilyAnne]

16. Wow. How timely. Is it October 2008 already?

"What I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist."
She has found no such thing.
Such bullshit.
She sits around with her rich Republican friends in Dallas and says this over and over again, I'm sure.
But she has never been called a racist by an Obama supporter for criticizing him.

The rest of her comments are so ignorant I have a migraine from reading them.
No wonder she has a reputation in Dallas as being a very nasty, opinionated and quite dumb woman.

[Hanse]

17. Yeah yeah yeah

I'm sure she's got lots of black friends.

[Connie_Corleone]

19. Who asked her for her opinion on the President?

How the hell does she think we got into this recession and all-time high unemployment? What an idiot.

[Bicoastal]

21. Fox News is one of the few networks that will give a distaff celebrity LOADS of free PR...

...just so long as they're Republican.

Like suddenly everyone really cares what Angie Harmon or Victoria Jackson or ESPECIALLY Chuck Norris has to say?

[Arugula Latte]

49. Yeah ... to paraphrase the right: Shut Up and Pose, Angie.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

22. She sounds like a moron. Read:

""I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me.""

[The Wizard]

74. She should relocate to Remulak

with thoughts like this.
"My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that."

[The Wizard]

75. Wasn't she on the Moran thread

holding a misspelled sign?

[Merlot]

27. "...because I'm a racist..."

oh, sorry angie, did I take that out of context?

[Malikshah]

32. Uh, Angie-- no one thinks you're a racist-- just boneheaded and possibly

inhumane for your rabid support of the previous regime.

Not racist, though. Cry victim much?

How's that career going for you, dear? Miss Law and Order much? Freddy's not there to take you back right now. More's the pity...

[Hutzpa]

34. Just so you know,

I love pretty women, pretty women can't fool me either,
as for you, you do have 'shit for brains'

What...I'm suppose to go ga-ga on that...please....
show me something I have not seen before.

[Yavin4]

35. She Is Not A Racist!

Why her husband use to shower along side of Black men when he played football. So there.

[LynnTheDem]

36. Years to destroy; didn't hear ya then, Angie. 60 days and that's not fast enough

for you?

Fuck you.

[mvd]

37. Angie never liked Obama. She voted for McCain I'm sure despite unemployment

And Repuke policies had been in place for 8 years.

[Kdillard]

38. Now, I can sleep at night knowing that her stupidity is not due to

racism. whew.

[Sagan]

39. 8 years of rich people on yachts making policy was enough...

Thanks anyway, Angie.. when we need the country destroyed again, we'll be sure to ask you who you think would be good at it.

[cherokeeprogressive]

69. You make it seem like rich people on yachts making policy was a thing of the past.

I'm not feelin' it.

[KingFlorez]

40. People who make statements like this usually have racism issues

She's an idiot, on top of that she's no talent hack that ought to retire, nobody cares about her.

[Jane Austin]

41. I hate women

who can wear horizontal stripes.

:)

[soccermomforobama]

42. "dressing for a recession"=going to a launch event for $120

product to make your eyelashes thicker????

[JI7]

43. why did she feel the need to defend herself against something nobody accused her of ?

that actually makes me wonder if she IS racist .

[NoSheep]

44. A gorgeous loss of my respect.

edited to add my respect to the designer of those killer sandals and the retro swim suit bottom.

[VPStoltz]

45. This is surprising. I thought she was intelligent. Oh, yeah, she was only acting.

She has to be a wingnut if she thinks, first, she is hurting on her multi-million salary and, second, that everything is supposed to be hunky dory just 2 1/2 months after the man took the job of cleaning up "W's" mess.
One fewer phony I will be watching.

[Bobbieo]

46. Is Angie part of the Tom Harmon family - the football hero? If so, her politics makes sense.

[LostinVA]

57. Marh ramon and Pam Dawber are Dems -- or, at least contribute to Dems

And, neither or them, his sisters, nor his Nelson nieces and nephews are known for being Freepers and/or racists. Just because his grandfather was a Republican politician doesn't mean a thing.

Very strange. Mark Harmon is known for being on of Hollywood's truly "nice guys."

And, even though I'm gay: DAMN! That man has aged well.

[Justitia]

47. Born & raised in a rich Dallas neighborhood....and it shows.

I know, I used to live there - her politics reflect her upbringing in Highland Park.

Religious, Right-Wing Republican

She and her ugly dolt of a husband spoke at the Repub convention.

This woman looooooved Bush, too.

[Norrin Radd]

50. Only an idiot would wear shoes like that on a boat.

[WinkyDink]

58. It's just a fashion shoot, FPS.

[Norrin Radd]

80. No?! really? I must be an idiot!

:silly:

Thanks for pooping on the fun I was having insulting a mindless republican.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

51. who?

I have no idea who this dime-a-dozen model/"actress" is

[vaberella]

52. What is she talking about? I didn't understand a word.

There was no logical sense to her statement. In any event, who cares if she criticizes Prez O?! She's an idiot.

[Skidmore]

53. May I ask?

Who the hell is Angie Harmon?

[TexasObserver]

54. She's had one acting gig, some time ago, and married a football player.

Why does ANYONE care what her opinion is?

She's certainly entitled to have an opinion, but she's just another person with an opinion.

Anyone who has to declare they are not a racist probably is one.

[WeDidIt]

56. Some where some day somebody is going to mention "Angie Harmon" to me

probably will be in reference to a film or television show.

The first thing that will pop into my mind will be "RACIST".

Not because she disagrees with Obama.

It will be because she pushed this out there herself and forever more I will automatically associate racism with her name.

[EmilyAnne]

59. "If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist...its because I'm stupid."

"Now, I'm a racist because I don't like people who aren't white like me. But that's beside the point and has nothing to do with why I hate Obama."- Angie Harmon

[Orsino]

60. It may not be racism.

"I do think McCain would have done a better job," she says.

It's stupidity, along with the usual conservative sense of entitlement. Racism is not necessary to come up with the wrong answer.

[BreweryYardRat]

61. Irony lives...

Hit IMDB out of curiosity and came up with the following from their page on her:

"Of Native American and German heritage on her father's side..."

The irony of someone who's part Native American voting Republican is just sickening.

[AyanEva]

79. Stupid has no boundaries.

[paparush]

63. Sharp knees - A. Harmon < Standards

[Dr Fate]

64. I think if i could just spend a few hours with her, I could convince her that Obama is doing great.

I'm sure of it.

[paparush]

78. LOL! Dr. Fate! FTW!

[FudaFuda]

65. My career is in the tank, so here's something controversial to get my name out there again. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

67. why is she talking politics while hawking the launch of an 'eyelash-growing formula??'

[mitchum]

72. What a surprise coming from a dime a dozen Texas beauty queen married to a jock

[RFKHumphreyObama]

73. Angie, you are talking gibberish as per usual

You must be a graduate of the Dan Quayle School of Nonsensical Drivel

[redqueen]

76. Thanks for including the pic, btw. (nt)

[jefferson_dem]

81. Perspective.

:evilgrin:

[Arkana]

77. Who's calling you racist, Angie?

Methinks you doth protest too much...

[Cass]

82. She's still dressing for a recession....what the heck does that mean?

Her rant doesn't make much sense.

Anyway, I'm not sure why she thinks we should care what she thinks?

[ErinBerin84]

83. oh goody.

Part two of this interview was put out on the Fox website. LOL..


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/angie-harmon-republicans_n_181781.html


Angie Harmon gave a lengthy interview to Foxnews.com, and today part two is online, including Harmon's thoughts on the Republican party.

The interview started with Harmon defending Bristol Palin, and became the larger reasons Harmon loves the Republican Party:


"I think one of the greatest things about the Republican Party is the understanding, we don't point fingers and we have class...


Not all of us are supposed to believe the same things and think the same way," she added. "I think the difference between the parties is, with the Democrats you can sit down with them and have a 15 minute conversation and if you're not believing everything they say and buying into what they're selling you, it is like you're some dumb hick who doesn't deserve to live here anymore. But with the Republicans, it is like okay I want to know what you know, you want to know what I know, okay great lets go have a beer after work, we're still friends."
