Next the Usual Suspects appear on the Hub, telling us the GOP is racist, Nazi-like-, Hiitlerian. They will have already grabbed their dem talking points, from the media.

The notion of standing firm, not begging for forgiveness, not wilting, is alien to them.

A rookie mistake? Are we now supposed to use the "M" word when talking about a certain zoo animal?

This is absurd.

I'm starting to agree with Trump: the media should not be shielded from lawsuits.  These "news" organizations have fabricated a racial slur and placed it in headlines.  Their actions are entirely malicious and defamatory.

I can't stomach watching Shepard Smith.  Did DeSantis really say that to Shep?

The saying "throw a monkey wrench into the works," has no, zero, zip racial connotation.

It comes from a British sayin, about throwing a "Spanner" into the works.

a "spanner" is British for wrench.

"Monkey it up,," or "monkey up the works," have no racial connotation.


The candidate ought to simply say this.

    The MSM loves to portray us Southerners as a bunch of racist hicks, when in fact we have progressed quite a bit in the 153 years since the 'War of Northern Aggression' has ended.

Monkey Wrench is the reason I switched to Ogg Vorbis.  I just never could get an mp3 rip that would do it justice. 

Guess I'm a racist, then.

Did DeSantis also say Gillum was articulate? No kidding here, "articulate" also has a history......really, I did not know this. Maybe a long time ago with Biden calling Obama that, I might have heard a little but websearch "articulate" and "racist" and you do get results. It might be more of a nuisance than "racist".

On Being Called Articulate

Of the alphabetical sequence of adjectives famously applied to Barack Obama by Joseph Biden, bright and clean were awkward enough, but the one that got under my skin was articulate.

Educated black people such as myself are often called "articulate," and it's irritating. Contrary to popular misconception, it isn't racist, but it's still a nuisance.


There has been a flurry of commentary on Mr. Biden's use of the word in the press and blogosphere to the effect that when a white person calls a black one articulate, he means "for a black person." That is, presumably, white people think all black people speak street-corner "Ebonics," blind to the legions of middle-class and affluent blacks around them speaking Standard English. This blindness is, we are to assume, because of racism.

But the linguistic facts here tell a different story. While only some black people dwell in Ebonics 24/7, the vast majority flows in and out of Black English as various social contexts demand.

Gillum wants a 40% corporate tax rate and probably a lot of other stuff, that will get him creamed in the elections I think. There would be no reason to resort to doing other things.

I've never heard the term 'monkey this up'. So I looked it up on the internet and could not find an example of anyone else saying, 'don't monkey this up'. It seems to be something that DeSantis made up himself. I have never heard it before, and I can't find any example of it anywhere.

This had to be some kind of Freudian thing. Why would anyone in their right mind say something so stupid about a Black opponent. It makes no sense at all.

Well I don't know where you are from but when I was growing up, "don't monkey it up" was what you said in polite company rather than "don't F(u)ck it up".  So based on his usage I'd say that is what he meant, but was being polite.

   'Don't Monkey it up' is something your Granpaw told you because Grandmaw would slap the $hit out of him if he said 'Don't Screw it up, Son'. 
    In my Southern upbringing anyway.   
    Must confess, I always liked it when Granmaw slapped the $hit out of Granpaw.

"Don't muck it up" and... I thought to avoid dropping an "f" bomb, he might have said it the way he did. Who knows? As I said earlier, he seems to be a man of integrity, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
