what's big deal..

[ekg]

..Fox and Friends radio show (they have a fucking radio show too? ugh) asked..mockingly asked... "Did she get rashes on her feet? What's the big deal".. what's the big deal that a 102 year old black woman, who lives in a Republican led state where those republicans hoping to jerry-rig an election so they could 'fire' the 'black-Kenyan' candidate, ended early voting and closed/condensed polling areas in the hope of deterring the largely minority vote, waited in line for 6 hours to cast her vote?

what's big deal for a woman who for most of her adult life was prevented from voting by Jim Crow laws such as.. making blacks wait for hours upon end to do what white citizens have been doing,with ease, since the inception of the country?

what's big deal to make someone, anyone, wait in line.. in the Florida heat..for 6+ hours to vote? Because "Fox and Friends" would have patiently waited and never said a thing about the 'wait-time' had it been them or anyone they knew?

OMFG!

Kilmeade, MacCallum and Hemmer did not seem to think she deserved one, though. Speaking on Kilmeade's radio show on Thursday, MacCallum said that the issue had no place in the State of the Union because it could be handled on the "municipal level… Get the town council on that one."

"How long was she on line?" Hemmer asked.

"What's the big deal? She was happy," MacCallum argued. "She waited on line, she was happy that she voted."

"They held her up as a victim!" Hemmer alleged. "What was she the victim of? Rashes on the bottom of her feet?"

They're scared to death, agitated, aggravated, and know they can't say what they really want to out loud and still be perceived as legitimate news media.  So this is how they rationalize it, down play it.

I guarantee if their dear old Grandmaw was made to wait even 15 minutes by some hispanic, black, asian or muslim holding up a line, for whatever reason...they'd spit fucking nails.

I also love the ease with which how they just completely gloss over the fact that this was a rare occurrence, if at all, in districts and locations that weren't more minority heavy, hmmmmm.

These people are scared to death of any kind of progress. And they'll go so far as to suppress the peoples' voice to achieve their ends.
