Love For Paula Deen?

Paul Deen may have lost her gig with the Food Network over racist comments she allegedly made in the workplace, but her fans are voting with their wallets. In fact the Queen of Cholesterol’s forthcoming cookbook is currently the No. 1 selling book on Amazon.com (up seven spots from yesterday)….

Wow …

Love it or hate it, that’s the power of the marketplace.

1. Paula Deen got railroaded. Clinton didn’t inhale. Obutthead is not a muslim. Whatever.
2. Why are tolls allowed to use multiple anonymous names and then give (shove) themselves thumbs up (them). It’s not fair and I’m going to whine. Tough shite.

Congratulations Ms. Deen. I guess the old adage about advertising is right.

My guess it that it’s not so much support for Deen per se, as it is an expression of opposition to the PC busybodies who try to dictate to everyone else how we must think and speak. Kinda like the Chick-Fil-A Day event.

People just aren’t getting it. Her media career was based on an idealized image, which is why her public photo so hilariously Photoshopped. And that image was tarnished, whether or not it was her fault. (Personally, I thought the boo-hoo poor me, “I is What I is” speech was dreadful but regardless…. ) So these companies aren’t making value judgments that she’s racist, they are a bunch of suits making cold and calculated decisions about whether she costs more than she’s worth. Rather than complain about it being over, she should be thanking God that she got to ride that horse as long as she did.

Your analysis is right, but I suspect the suits* are wrong.

Although the suits don’t realize it, because they live in a bubble*, there are a lot of dungarees* out there.I’m sure many bubble boy suits were surprised over how the Chick-Fil-A thing went down.

I wasn’t.

Hhahahaha…LMAO….Good to see get turned on by her own liberal-nation….
I am GLAD to see a Liberal Democrat get bitten SQUARE on the @$$ by the leftwing radicals who Gestapo over race speech…

Deen campaigned for Obama and fawned over Michelle on her show…

The book sales will dry up, much to liberal-lover FITS chagrin. These Leftwingers are so Stupidly obsessed w/ the language they all use daily… they will murder their own, in NAZI lockstep, to get this woman….

The vast majority of people (including blacks), with the exception of a few, vocal, perpetually offended types, do not give a rat’s ass as to whether or not Paula Deen has said, “nigger”.

When she was asked about it she should have said, “Ah jes loves me some Kanye West “Gold Digger” an ah walk around singin’ it evrah day.”

“It’s almost like a spoof of Southern cooking,” said Nathalie Dupree, the author of “Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking,” a cooking teacher and food historian in Charleston, S.C. Ms. Dupree, 73, said that in her childhood fried food was a once-a-week treat, that rich desserts were served even less often, and that vegetables and grains like rice and grits made up most of what was a healthy, farm-based diet.

“That is not how the people I know cook, and that is not how the people I know speak,” she said.

Ms. Dupree, who is white, is especially incensed by the notion (advanced by many of Ms. Deen’s defenders) that whites who grew up in the segregated South routinely use racist language without attaching any significance to it. “I’m beginning to take umbrage at being lumped together with people who haven’t taken the trouble to learn what is offensive and what isn’t,” she said. “It puts the whole region back again.”

Ms. Dupree was referring to the recent gains made by what is called the New Southern Cooking, a high-end culinary movement that celebrates the ingredients of the region — but not the kind found in sealed bags at the Piggly Wiggly.

Any truth to the rumor Deen (a classic Dixie Democrat Maven) was pulled from the cooking show studio, screaming: I Love N-Words….This ain’t fair…I LOVE N-words…LMAO..

We have a VERY forgiving society when it comes to immorality of reprehensible behavior that actually physically and emotionally hurts people (see FITS, Sanford)….

But the liberals’ most loyal, lockstep lackey Obama-Liberal voters, are protected by an all-Powerful, Universally FATAL Word…

And the Dumb@$$ FITS claims asking for an ID to vote is suppression…With idiots like that, Any wonder we are where we are…
