Blackwell just said on crossfire Jessie Jackson has ADD

[AnIndependentTexan]

His own words on crosfire. Blackwell Declares Jessie Jackson has Attention Deficit disorder. That is the offical Rove tactic to declare all Democrats needing drugs.

[MikeG]

1. Blackwell should stick to being a fashion critic.

[joeunderdog]

65. Clear case of Small Penis Syndrome for Blackwell.

Compensates for his lack of manhood by masquerading as a man with stature.

[jamboi]

68. That just sounds silly.Thats what passes for an "argument" on crossfire?nt

[tridim]

2. Defamation lawsuit forthcoming?

Go get em Jesse!

[pbartch]

61. jesse jackson SUE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[New Earth]

3. is this slander?

it's pretty fucked up.

[mod mom]

4. Mean spirited repugs

Why would he say that?

[TheDebbieDee]

5. Blackwell is just begging for an a$$-whuppin'......

I just wish he had said something like that about Al Sharpton. I'd like to see Rev. Al jump into *'s lackey's butt with both of his feet!

[Pepper32]

23. Blackwell has SOS- Sell Out Syndrome

Little bastard! I hopes it's worth it! He will get his when the GOP is done using him.

[TexasLawyer]

32. Thanks for the laugh...

my first for the day. It's been a long one.

[Pepper32]

35. YW :) n/t

[texpatriot2004]

6. So typical of their kind, can't stay on topic have to go to personal

attacks. Smear, smear, smear. I hope the Rev. sues the pants off Blackwell. Blackwell is out of line. I think we out to let him know.

[tbuddha]

7. That's typical of repukes

That's how they fight every time, by attacking a person's character.

[texpatriot2004]

10. They can dish it out, but they sure can't take it when they are

personally attacked. Ever notice?

[Mirwib]

24. EXCCCUUUUUUUUSSSSE ME!!!

Having Attention Deficit Disorder does not impugn one's character.

Geesh.

[IAMREALITY]

27. It Does If You Don't Have ADD and the intent is to Attack n/t

[Mirwib]

36. Under no circumstance is saying that someone

has ADD an attack on someone else's character. ADD is a learning disorder; it is not a character flaw.

42. It was the context in which it was used.

Because it was used in an attacking manner, it is therefore an attack. PERIOD!

[Mirwib]

56. It may be an attack, but it is NOT an attack on his character.

ADD is not a character flaw. It is a learning disability.

[IAMREALITY]

57. You have a right to believe whatever you want

I believe that if his character is one that does not have ADD, then an agressive toned verbal attack accusing him of having ADD would in fact then be an attack on his character. Seems Plain and Simple to me.

[Mirwib]

59. It is not a reflection on someone's character if she/he has ADD

Having cancer is not a character flaw. Having the flu is not a character flaw. Being blind is not a character flaw. Having ADD is not a character flaw.

[IAMREALITY]

60. IT IS

When the attack was made in reference to JJ's character. Don't you get that? It was said to humiliate JJ's character. It was said to make JJ look bad. Was said to question his character. Blackwell was attacking JJ. He was attacking JJ's character. In THIS CONTEXT ADD ABSOLUTELY was used as an ATTACK on JJ's CHARACTER.

Period. Finito. Absosmurfly.

[Mirwib]

62. By accepting that this is an attack on one's character

one marginalizes a group in society that does not need to be marginalized.

[IAMREALITY]

64. Oh Please, Not At All

Believing that the context of our replies in this thread, in the context of how the attack was given, marginalizes anybody, would be a pretty extremist view in my opinion.

[Mirwib]

66. Sure it does.

There are individuals who are born with ADD. By agreeing to say that it is a flaw in somebody's character, one is saying that individuals who have this condition have flaws in their character. It is a horrible stereotype.

[IAMREALITY]

69. You're Kidding Right?

I mean how far you gonna go with this? No one is stereotyping anybody. I have ten posts explaining why it was an attack on JJ's character. (Normally I would've ignored the responses after a few but I'm kinda enjoying myself responding tonight)

But come on now, do you really believe what you're saying to that extreme of a degree? No one said ADD is a flaw in someone's character. What was said is that the context in which the attack was used on JJ was to attack his character, PERIOD. Nothing can be said to change that FACT. No OPINION, Extremist VIEW,PETTY ARGUMENT, or Activist RHETORIC can change the FACT that Blackwell used ADD as an ATTACK on JJ's CHARACTER. IT happened. IT is real. IT was an attack on his character.

[Mirwib]

70. By perpetuating the language,

one perpetuates the marginalization. Having ADD is not an attack on one's character.

[IAMREALITY]

71. "Having ADD is not an attack on one's character."

You're right. But AGAIN, when someone's intent is to slander, attack, humiliate, and degrade a person's character who does not have ADD by saying in a slanderous, attacking, humiliating, and degrading way that the person DOES have ADD, then my dear, that IS an attack on someones character. Got it??

[Mirwib]

72. It is no more of an attack, than to say "that person has cancer"

Clearly, we would call that attack non-sensical and not a reflection on one's character. With ADD, however, there is a significant group of individuals who are ready to accept stereotypes with respect to individuals with this condition. By saying that it is an attack on a person's character rather than a non-sensical comment, one perpetuates the marginalization of this community.

Our language conveys meaning. For example, when we use the words "He 'gypped' me," we marginalize Gypsies. When we say that somebody is 'ragging' someone else, we marginalize women. There are lots of examples in our language how we insult others. How we agree to communicate with respect to individuals with various medical conditions says a great deal about us individually.

[IAMREALITY]

73. LOL LOL

I'm crying I'm Laughing so hard LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

On a different note, do you believe what Katherine Blackwell said about Jesse Jackson? I don't believe he would attack Jesse's character like that. I mean what an ass Blackwell is. How DARE he attack Jesse's character by saying he has ADD. Blackwell is obviously starting to get rattled nerves, and has to now resort to attacking people's character by saying they have ADD. It's just horrible, to attack somebody's character like that.

[NVMojo]

8. It may be a violation of mental health licensing laws as Blackwell

does not have a license to clinically diagnose mental disorders or the like. If I were Jackson, I'd file suit.

[texpatriot2004]

9. Right on NVMojo, right on.

[Turn CO Blue]

51. Excellent point ! n/t

[Ducks In A Row]

11. Blackwell is SO SCARED by Jackson.

blackwell KNOWS he's due to be arrested for election fraud, soon!!!!!

:D

[Twist_U_Up]

13. those repugs

they sure are uniters huh

[Daisey Mae]

12. What a dope....

Jessie Jackson is a huge leader respected around the world......This is a typical Repuke statement of no merit, designed to change the subject......Blackwell sucks and will soon be sucking from behind bars.......

[IAMREALITY]

21. Totally Agree!

I mean who the fuck does Katherine Blackwell think he is? Has his ego grown so large that he thinks he now stands on the same ground as JJ, and has a moral right to judge him? What a jackass.

[SueZhope]

14. I think it was a bad joke

saying he had ADD......

then he went onto to say something like:
he was not getting enough attention so he joined in to the activists March
in Ohio

maybe I misunderstood

[Shalom]

16. Blackwell has Acquired Intelligence Deficiency Syndrom (AIDS)

[notadmblnd]

17. he said that the other night on Olberman too

said JJ was hired gun and was just trying to get out in front of someone elses parade (meaning Cobbs parade).

[Quakerfriend]

18. Anyone ever notice

how Blackwell sort of foams at the mouth. It's funny, he always gets like this when he's feeling the heat. I'm wondering how he can sleep at night with all of the lawsuits piling up against him! Sad statement for a human being.:P

[SueZhope]

20. TRUE...Blackwell

HMMMM....is this bad & childish?

SOS stands for "Son of Satin"
but I do not know his father
so maybe i should not say such things

[distantearlywarning]

39. I didn't notice that, but I did think he was very "chipmunky".

It's the full cheeks and little rodent-like front teeth sticking out when he talks.

Foaming at the mouth would make him look rabid!

[Helga Scow Stern]

28. Oh. That's a common JJ putdown. That he wants attention,

just because he speaks up when others won't.

[Celebration]

15. Should work for Big Pharma

Big Pharma thinks everyone has ADD, or some other kind of initialed disorder. Hey they make big BUCKS on this. Jesse Jackson is just another consumer..........

[Quakerfriend]

25. So true! LOL

And, if you haven't got a disorder they'll give you a one of their rosy little sing-song side effects (a la commercial ad nausea) and then follow up with a treatment for it.

[anamandujano]

19. in his dreams

what would katy say about bush then

[cyn2]

22. Ridicule: Rove's number one tactic n/t

[Helga Scow Stern]

26. Some of the most creative people in history have ADD.

JFK (Kennedy) was reported to have it, as was Churchill. Shrub most likely has it.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Blacksink is just making himself look silly.

[goclark]

40. Glad to know that I am in good company

I'm not sure what Blackwell meant. Surely he did not mean that Jesse was running all around in circles without medication.

I'm no doctor but Blackwell seems to be the unfocused one. His words are flying out of his mouth so fast it's like a jet flew by.

When I first saw him on TV my first thought was," Why don't they medicate him to slow him down?"

Jesse Jackson has always been clear, well organized in his thoughts and with his ideas.

He does not rush to speak and always appears calm, even in the most difficult times.

I will never forget seeing him just moments before his speech in San Francisco when he ran for President. He was so calm! Of course his Speech that night was simply the best!

Blackwell looks like a bouncing ball to me. Screaming and bad mouthing everyone but his crook cronies.

Maybe he wants a job with the Ratalin Company. Those Republicans are always grabbing for money and putting that label on us sweet Democrats.

Get a life on Mars Blackwell!

[Helga Scow Stern]

29. That Blackwell has got RED PAINT all over his silly self.

I guess coagulated Kool-Aid, when you've been hitting it too long turns to paint.

[bunny planet]

30. I guess that must have been his ADD acting up when Jesse went to Lebanon

to bring back hostages. I think it was Lebanon, can't remember now. Anybody know. I think JJ went into a dangerous situation twice to bring back American servicemen who'd been taken hostage.

[Twist_U_Up]

31. Best move for Jesse ?

reply with more ridicule or simply ignore it and demand the dickhead recuse himself ?

[Catherine Vincent]

33. A couple of nights ago, Blackwell said that Jackson wouldn't be

able to be voted in as dogcatcher in Ohio. He's very good at calling names which makes me wonder if he is trying to impress someone.

[DoYouEverWonder]

34. Damn, I didn't think anyone could out do

Katherine Harris's performance in 2000.

[Shalom]

38. All Democrats (need) Drugs = ADD....... He's right !!

[Im with Rosey]

41. JESSE and ADD

It seems to me that the deeper this idiot gets into trouble, the more he attacks credibility of anyone and everyone. I thought so the other night while watching Countdown. It seems to be escalating as the stakes get higher and he looks more guilty.

[Buddyblazon]

43. Well Blackwell likes underage Asian boys.

Yea...some people have been saying this for awhile.

As he has failed to answer these accusations, it must be true.

Blackwell likes ILLEGAL sex with MINOR Asian boys.

Who woulda thunk it?

[goclark]

44. That is so compelling!

I would believe anything someone had to say about this scum.

Enquiring minds want to know about a link.

[Buddyblazon]

45. No link:

kind of like no proof for the Kerry AWOL thing from the Swift Boat Vets for Payola.

But...we all know. If people are saying it...and the recipient doesn't refute it...it must be true.

So...how's that for compelling.

Some people are indeed saying this...so it's true. ;)

[goclark]

49. Got It !

Seems like on of the little boys would like to step up to the plate.

I'm sure there will be lots of lawyers, right there in Ohio, that would like to take the cases.

If he is messing with children, that is the line draw in the sand.

Out him someone,please!

[masshole1979]

74. rational proof of blackwell+little asian boys

According to Bob Jones U. Critical Reasoning 101

fact--> blackwell likes to get into elaborate critiques of women's clothing
corollary--> his overdeveloped interest in eveningwear clearly means he's gay
corollary--> gay men molest little boys and drink their blood
fact--> asia has more little boys than any other continent
conclusion--> blackwell molests little asian boys (and drinks their blood)

[TexasLawyer]

47. GOP Hypocrite of the Week--Ken Blackwell

Couldn't find anything about Asian boys, but thought I'd post at least SOMETHING that was mean and insulting! So much to choose from out there on the web re Mr. Blackwell.

Title: GOP Hypocrite of the Week: Ken Blackwell
Source: buzzflash
URL Source: http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/04/11/edi04083.html
Published: Nov 7, 2004

snip

But that brings us to our BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week: Ken Blackwell, Ohio's Secretary of State and the man in charge of insuring the voting in his state is transparent, tamper-proof and corruption-free. Blackwell was the Bush Cartel's male version of Florida's Katherine "Cruella Deville" Harris. So, when Rove strategized how to suppress (and perhaps also steal) the vote, Blackwell, a Clarence Thomas wannabe, said, "Yes, Sir, Mr. Karl, I want to be your token black right winger, just like Clarence. How can I help you suppress black and Democratic voters? Then will you make sure I get elected the next Governor of Ohio? Please, Mr. Karl, please."

snip

And then Blackwell even got involved with advocating for the passage of the Draconian anti-gay referendum in Ohio, speaking out at churches about the scourge of gay relationships. He saw nothing wrong with the Secretary of State involving himself with a ballot issue over which he was responsible for counting the results.

Stalin would be proud of Ken Blackwell.

So, did the Bushes steal the election again? You don't need specific proof. All you need to know is that they -- through the Bush Cartel Secretary of States in Florida and Ohio -- counted the votes. Those who count the votes decide everything, the voters be damned.

Ken Blackwell, mission accomplished, you did everything you could do to disenfranchise voters while pretending to represent them. You are the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Just remember our motto at BuzzFlash.com: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.




Here's Blackwell's official bio:

http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/blackwell/index.html

[Goldeneye]

46. If you can't fight with the facts, you might as well attack the person

you're arguing with........

[lllbowtie]

50. mr. blackwell

I know Mr. Blackwell's ancestors are rolling in their graves. Politican in the Republican Party, voter suppression, and voter fraud. If the Repubs had their way he couldn't even vote.

[demodonkey]

48. I hope JJ flys Blackwell's ass from the nearest flagpole...

God, these Re-thugs STILL have no shame do they, even after their big "win" and so-called MAN-DATE !?!

And pray tell, Kenneth, exactly what does anybody's ADD, and/or any other physical or mental condition and/or lack thereof, have to do with OPEN, FAIR, TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS???

Hmmmmmm?????

I'm pissed tonight. Really pissed.


:grr: :nuke: :grr:

[Carolab]

52. Blackwell suffering from IDD

Integrity Deficit Disorder

[savistocate]

63. Integrity Deficit & the Sell Out -exactly- & sleazy cheap

character. Dogcatcher slur only a low-life character & not comfortable with himself gets that lowball. They never seem to know it -but do.

Also so right on, he's entertaining his Repugly buds, impressing the 'masa'.

[Democrat Dragon]

53. Blackwell is using a Dominionist tatic

Here's a piece from the Yurica report's article on the Dominionist movement:


"I have paraphrased the four immoral principles of the Dominionist movement as the following:



1) Falsehoods are not only acceptable, they are a necessity. The corollary is: The masses will accept any lie if it is spoken with vigor, energy and dedication.

2) It is necessary to be cast under the cloak of “goodness” whereas all opponents and their ideas must be cast as “evil.”

3) Complete destruction of every opponent must be accomplished through unrelenting personal attacks.

4) The creation of the appearance of overwhelming power and brutality is necessary in order to destroy the will of opponents to launch opposition of any kind."


We're likely to see more personal attacks of this kind, since we have whole repuke organizations that like to do this.

[Generator]

54. Yeah so, Blackwell has halitosis, flatulence, and a fungal problem

[Razorback_Democrat]

55. Does he have a license to make that diagnosis?

I mean as a mental health professional I have to be licensed to diagnose.

And so he was being "flippant",

he should STFU since he's essentially trying to insult Jackson by saying he has a real illness, that's not helpful to anyone who had a problem.

He should apologize.

[ailsagirl]

58. and he would know

[tommcintyre]

67. That's good.. insults mean their worried. n/t

[driver8]

75. How much longer are the rethugs going to use these tactics?

It's the same thing everytime. If someone says something that the freepers don't like, they just make up some lies about them. The sad thing is, most people believe them without question. (DU excluded!)

It is too bad that the rest of the country has to suffer for the idiots that voted for this dipshit -- they deserve everything they get!
