Thanksgiving Day Open Thread [11.24.11]

Filed in National by on November 24, 2011

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Delaware Liberal! We are grateful for our readers (most of them anyway), days when it doesn’t rain, the non-stop trainwreck that is the Delaware GOP, DL business meetings at Pandora’s house and the post scheduling feature so we can spend the day arguing politics with our families. Who can argue with Tradition? We hope you all are having a great day with loved ones and that all of your football teams beat the spread.

Did you know that your turkey is spreading the Muslim this Thanksgiving Day? Apparently wingnut queen Pamela Geller has discovered that Butterball turkeys are halal and creating Muslim terrorist cells throughout the land this Thanksgiving Day. Or something like that. Anyway, the always hilarious Tbogg gives us his rundown of the manufactured outrage of the day from conservatives. Really guys, you could just eat turkey-shaped spam and put us all out of your misery.

Need a quick primer before confronting your Fox Noise-watching wingnut relatives at the Thanksgiving table? Moveon.org provides you with some truth to counter with.

Any of your loved ones hunting Thanksgiving morning? I wouldn’t hold dinner for them if I were you:

Because out in the woods, the hunters are NOT the 99%.

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

  2. AQC says:

    Paul Calistro filed a campaign committee.

  3. MJ says:

    Geller is a blight on Judaism. We disown her.

  4. Another Mike says:

    This thought went through my head after seeing the people camped out at Best Buy and on the TV news. Has any mayor or private property owner asked/ordered police to remove people illegally camped out on sidewalks for three days waiting to buy a 50″ television? What are they doing for sanitation needs?

    Just askin’.

    Happy Thanksgiving all.

    I commented over at the NJ to check out the new FB commenting and see if the level of discourse was better.

    Hooo Boy.. the naked racism and crazy ass xenophobia is off the hook.

    It will be a long time before I venture over there again.

    The new commenting thing apparently doesn’t start until 30 November. What I saw the other day seemed to be a mistaken launch.

  7. Aoine says:

    @Jason – saw your comment – nice group over there huh??

    seems their failures in life and business is all the “other guy’s” fault

    good lord! I see this racism all the time, live with it too, but somehow in ink it looks more horrible

    I know the folks in that article, good honest people that worked their fingers to the bone, dont live high on the hog and put every penny aside to expand their businesses
    they also volunteer in their community and give generously to charity

    I wish we could deport the bitter angry small minds over there – what a waste of humanity. And sadly, i doubt they will ever change

    Great picture, CM!

  9. Jason330 says:

    Aoine, I think they moderated my comment out. As I recall I said somethning like, “When are we going to wise up and stop being so accommodating to these hard working, self- sacrificing foreigners who work at chicken processing plants for years in order to take our jobs by scraping together the funds to open a business?

    What ever happened to simply being white as a means to get ahead.?”

    Too subtle I guess.

  10. Aoine says:

    maybe they did – but I saw it earlier and just checked again – its gone – and what you wrote above – thats what I read

    and cracked up!!

    if they did moderate it out, then I am amazed they let the rest of the tripe stand – unless they are making a point

    wow – went back in to check – re-read them – they are even worse

    someone probably reported your post so it was pulled down.

    Delaware should be ashamned to have this type of people here
