people I used to have some props for

[maevele]

but who can now eat santorum:

Nader.
Savage.

I'm sure someone else will say something dumb by tonight, so expect an update.

What did they say?

[maevele.livejournal.com]

Nader: "Uncle Tom"
Savage: "Prop 8 is the fault of black people! Homophobia trumps racism!!"

the second is a paraphrase.

[likeawoman.livejournal.com]

yes (though I've disliked Savage for some time)

I am with you on Nader. Calling Obama an "Uncle Tom" was completely unacceptable. What a douche nozzle! What did Dan Savage do? I assume that is the Savage you speak of

My guess would be this column: http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/black_homophobia

[maevele.livejournal.com]

Blamed black voters for Prop 8.

I know what Savage said, but what did Nader say?

[bifemmefatale.livejournal.com]

"Is Obama going to be an Uncle Sam for the American people, or an Uncle Tom for the corporations?"

Classy, no?

wow... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?

I just looked it up actually and found a video of someone from *FOX News* telling him he ought to take that back. Right on.

That's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IshiClQqCM

This is actually the second time I've seen FOX News calling people on wildly inappropriate expressions of Obama-hate. Signs of the apocalypse?

Shep Smith has had moments of clarity in the past. I'm sort of a masochistic Fox News junkie and I remember during Katrina, he was in New Orleans, and Sean Hannity was being a dick and pretty much behaving like Sean Hannity, and Shep really let loose on him. he's still a collaborator and totally gross, but he has scary moments of clarity. I can't help but wonder if that's better or worse than just being an oblivious drone.
