As long-time readers of this site know, a popular feature of the former incarnations of OLV was “Moron of the Moment,” where we poked fun at some of the idiocy of the day. And while our material didn’t always come from social conservatives, they certainly went above and beyond the call of duty in providing our content. The bit was phased out in the revamped OLV site, but it now being brought out of retirement. Hell, if conservatives can be forgiven for continuing to espouse that “trickle down” economics works despite decades of proof to the contrary, we think that we can be cut some slack for bringing one feature piece back!
This time around, we are establishing some criteria for the award, and genuinely seeking reader submissions. So here is the standard that we will utilize in making Golden Momo selections, and we ask you to apply the same standard as you email us your nominations at: onelittlevictoryblog@gmail.com.
Selection Criteria (any or all of the following must apply):
1. The nominee must have said or done something that is simply not consistent with objective facts.
2. The nominee must have said or done something that demonstrates public hypocrisy.
3. The nominee must have said or done something that was hurtful to others and which would be deemed offensive under the “reasonable person” standard.
Yes, these are fairly broad categories. But you will find that, unlike the previous Golden Momo segment, we won’t simply go after politicians because we disagree with them. Instead we will target specific words and actions that defy reason and/or civility.
And with all of that said…. drumroll please… it is time to bestow the first Golden Momo Award for 2011.
Our “Winner” – Grady Warren of the Tea Party
Mr. Warren receives the dubious distinction of receiving our Moron of the Moment Award for his rather bizarre defense of the Tea Party as a non-racist organization. Of course his defense is laden with some incredibly racist rhetoric that almost any thinking person would find objectionable. We defy any Tea Party member (or defender) to defend these comments. In this video alone, he refers to black leaders as “criminals,” “nigras,” and “race pimps.” We particularly love the reference to being civil and peaceful while displaying a sign saying, “We came unarmed – this time.” And note his “Peaceful but prepared” t-shirt… you know, because that’s how he educates people on the complex issue of the right to bear arms.
But wait, that’s only the springboard to bashing Muslims for their “infiltrating, procreating, and then eliminating…” I guess in his view all Muslims should be celibate… which truthfully is kind of how we feel about people like Grady Warren. He then calls for the deportations of all Muslims “as soon as possible.” Newsflash for you, Grady: If we deported people on the basis of violence committed in the name of religion, there wouldn’t be any Christians here either. Warren then moves on to blast blacks as criminals, and as being the cause for why government doesn’t work. And according to Grady, trillions of dollars in reparations have been given to blacks as a repayment for slavery. We are sure that this will come as a welcome bit of news for blacks across the United States; never mind that it is utterly false. He also gets in the obligatory Tea Party shot about gay marriage. Of course, Warren suggests that he will be accused of being racist for his opposition to gay marriage, completely missing the fact that he is too ignorant to understand which “ism” he is guilty of. Then, Warren seriously asks if it is racist to love Sarah Palin. Is it racist, Mr. Warren? No, it is not. But it ain’t bright. He castigates blacks for voting based only on skin color and party affiliation only. Not only is he dead wrong, but we’re going to go out on a small limb and just guess that Mr. Warren hasn’t voted for any Democratic blacks, Asians, or Latinos anytime in the part thirty years. Thus, Mr. Warren’s hypocrisy is evident for all to view. He goes on to extend his criticism of blacks to Hispanics and to the “rest of the ignorant and uneducated liberals.” Talk about painting with a broad brush. Best rest assured, he is painting with white paint on a white picket fence that surrounds a white house that exists only in the recesses of his own small mind. Warren closes with an acknowledgement that if people think differently than him, then “this huckleberry is just a racist.” Well put, huckleberry.
Just one question… what the hell is a nigra? And yes, that is a rhetorical question.
