1,500 bags of pork rinds for Schmucky

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 16, 2009 04:30 AM

Last week, I noted Kentucky radio talk show host Leland Conway’s campaign to send Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer bags of pork rinds in response to his arrogant claim that Americans don’t care about the pork in the trillion-dollar-porkulus.

Guess what? Conway’s call produced a mountain — an estimated 1,500 pork rind bags that will be packed up and delivered to the Schmuckster’s office. Yes, they care:

Guess he’ll just dismiss Central Kentucky taxpayers as more of the “chattering classes”…

    He won’t care. Unless it arrives just in front of a news crew, he won’t even acknowledge it. After all, they were sent by Bible and gun clutching hillbillys from Kentucky. Does anyone think for a minute that this New York Liberal elitist gives a rats butt what they think?

    Hopefully, some news people cover the delivery. Otherwise, it will be ignored by Schumer. “They won” and now the American people will pay for it, in other ways too, than just money.

    And that famous check bouncer, Chuck Schumer,being humorless will probably accuse them of being racist rednecks for sending pork products to someone of the Jewish faith.

    The presentation of the bags of pork rinds should merit at least as much coverage as pink-lingerie wearing hags with shrill voices and bedsheet banners. That is, of course, if we could count on media coverage to be fair. But first, the MSM would have to admit that Schumer said that “the American people don’t care.” I have only seen it on FNC and heard it on talk radio, so I don’t know for sure how widely known his snark is.

    A bit off topic, but not entirely…I have been noticing more and more that the liberals use the “but the republicans did it” argument whenever they are accused of deplorable tactics. This seems to be a big talking point argument with them and it is unbelievably tiresome. “The republicans did that for eight years. Now, we won the election. It is our turn.” Yet, Obama ran his entire campaign on “CHANGE”. What is wrong with this scenario? The libs are going to change Washington by using blatant corruption, then say “Why are you complaining? The republicans did it for eight years”? After hearing this over and over this weekend, I now know for a fact that every liberal in this country has their heads attached to the wrong end of their anatomy.

    Right you are happyscrapper. And they have been doing so since before the messiah took the oath. And they will use it to explain away every failure and scandal for the next 4 or (God forbid!) 8 years. As to Schumer, face it, we will have to contend with that clown for a LONG time. He is like Teddy K or Barney Frank….he will never rise higher, but will be around for years to bedevil us.

If we don’t act soon, it will only get much, much worse.

    PS: Symbolic gotchas at this point merely switch roles as if it is now the conservative Right’s turn to say things such as “BHo Lied” and other automaton phrases.

    There is no substitute for strategic thought and action in the face of national political disaster and economic ruin. None whatsoever.

    Do you really have the time to try and “get to” miscreant sociopaths such as Chuck Schumer?

    Hey Red
    As I recall, voter literacy tests were implemented after the Civil War to prevent freed slaves from voting, leading to an ammendment forbidding it.

    Be careful what you wish for. If implemented now, the test would be written by our distinguished congress, and would mandate illiteracy for voters. (i.e. if you can take the test, you fail)

    No, I’d love to say yes, but no snowball’s chance in hell. First, the MSM is too flush with their MAJOR hand in making a righteous and compassionate “historical first”, second, they’re too damn PC to go after him like redneck wolves, third, Obama’s base race constituency will have all Repubs and Bush to blame for leaving “such a mess” for Obama to pick up (and yadda yadda along that route) and Dems aren’t going to disaffect that, and fourth, Obama’s the foot in the door for libs to utterly crush Repubs and the effect of conservatism on this country hereafter just by a tide of legal (and illegal) numbers so they’re not going to tear down their best chance. In twenty years they’ll repeat with Obama II being a Hispanic Dem (which they are sowing. Hey, will all true Hispanic Americans who want the borders sealed and illegals _thrown out_ please stand up?).

    For me these are all academic debates because I’ve really resigned myself that I’ll be spending the rest of my days in Socialist America.

If New York is such a wonderful place why does it send someone so despicable out to beg for money all the time. You can’t take care of yourselves cause you elect those who always tell you how to live. Freedom doesn’t exist in Schemers are’t we proud place.
    I think he knew he would bring the market down when he release the letter about bank insolvency. Think it caught him by surprise when it went farther than he intended and caused a run that destroyed it. He needs to be investigated and get to sit in front of someone looking down their glasses at him. You will get yours eventually.

    I understand, but all due respect, you’re wrong. As Tony Snowe might say, thanks for the DKosian view. After Bush’s re-election the lefties went manic. (Michael Moore couldn’t get out of bed for 3 days) Things change my friend. (sorry, McCainian slip)

    At any rate, surrender is definately not the answer. Chatter on!

    Actually, I ama Jew and actually study Torah, you know – HaD’var Hashem given to Moshe Rabbeneu at Har Sinai (For those Hebraically-challenged – “The Word of G-d given to Our Teacher Moses at Mt. Sinai”).

    NO Jew is allowed to eat pork. Period. There are Jews who know nothing of their religious laws that eat pork, and people who think that they are Jews that eat pork but the Jews are breaking one of the 613 Commandments to Jews contained within the above referenced HaD’var Hashem. (Gentiles were given the Noahide’s Seven Laws which we call the Sheva Mitzvot b’Noach.) FYI – Vendyl Jones identifies himself as a member of B’nai Noach – a Child of Noah, versus B’ani Israel – a Child of Israel.

I know we don’t want to compromise our principles. And we definitely don’t want another McCain fiaso!!
