Whoopi joins “The View” defends Vick, insults South.

by Buzz Brockway on September 4, 2007

According to Whoopi Goldberg, Michael Vick thought dog fighting was OK because he grew up in the South where it’s part of what we do down here. Sorry Whoopi, but as we say down here: that dog won’t hunt.

You’d be hard pressed to find someone South of the Mason-Dizin line who thinks killing dogs who don’t win a fight is acceptable, or a “southern thing.” I find her comment offensive, and no different from those who said dog fighting was a “black thing.”

Watch for yourself.

Trash, you can believe Cole and this team of epidemiologists if you want. No one else does.

Maybe not too many people in Georgia, jsm, perhaps.

But let’s face it – Georgians are not known for their critical thinking skills… Remember, 46 out of 50 in SAT scores is actually considered an achievement by your goobernor… and you’re on an up trend!

By your logic – the majority decides what is or isn’t factual – go chow down on some dog doo – 60 billion flies can’t be wrong.

Talk about sheep and shepherds, Senator Douglas – did you see this guy?

Juan Cole is a historian.

Trash, you essentially have an unverified ‘estimate’ that you’re hanging an argument on while continually bashing Southerners, Georgians, etc., with stupid, stereotypical nonsense. In other words, you’re full of crap, and you’re hiding behind childish insults. I see now where midgajim’s sentiment earlier in this thread comes from.

oh well.

from a recent jsm post:

(BTW Trash, all one must do is visit Kos for ten seconds to experience more whining from clueless libs than someone who thinks for himself can stand.)

Pot to kettle.

Thanks for playing.

jsm,

Why are you replying to the particular person that you are complaining about? Generally people like that simply have the goal of just trying to get people riled up, and participating in the discussion is just giving him what he wants.

His nonsensical comments are best left unanswered as they discredit him better than anything you could add.
