OT: Redneck Special Forces
G.E.R.R.Y.
fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces.
These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas boys will be dropped into Iraq and have
been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
6. Their favorite movie is "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN."
We expect the problem in Iraq to be over by Tuesday.

Sorry about that. It was a minor attempt at humour. Lighten up. It
wasn't meant as a personal insult to you or your neighbours. Have
Americans lost their ability to laugh at themselves? Sad really.

Just exactly why is it your defence for me to "lighten up"? Your brand of
humor is in this intance out dated, stereotypical and pathetic. If I were
to say a disparaging joke about your family or friends I doubt you'd be
amused, but I suppose I could fault you for being offended or just "so sad"
for not being able to laugh at yourself.

A lot of us yanks are starting to suffer from a bit of siege mentality.
The world blames Americans for every wrong on earth, there's nothing we
can do about that and we naturally get a bit defensive.

You are definitely entitled to your opinion. One man's meat is another
man's poison, as they say. I find your antagonism and indignation
somewhat pathetic as well, but I'm too gentlemanly to mention it.

When I can no longer "laugh at myself", I will be more than ready to
depart this life, but then, that is the difference between you and me.
Perhaps that is why I find your immediate readiness to take a harmless
spoof as a full-frontal, personal insult so pitiable.
I am NOT your enemy. Enemies do things MUCH more serious than relate a
joke that you don't find funny. A sense of perspective would not go
amiss.

I've been following this thread and I agree with your position. My family
is from kentucky and in varying degrees I have been tolerating this stuff
all of my life. It seems to have gotten worse as the number of socialy

1) This joke does not offend me particularly, but ...
2) You - in your repeated posts here - have established yourself
as a member of the Officious Politically Correct/Leftie/Progressive/
Populist Loons. So ...
3) Go back to your little "joke" and substitute any of the following
words and see how *you'd* feel about "humor" when the target is
one of: "The N-Word", "Jewboys", "Wetbacks", or, "Injuns".
Is it offensive now? If you could have told a similar joke
using any of these groups as a target without a problem, than
using "Redneck" in this manner is not a foul. If not, then
you're just another self-anointed savior of mankind (by your
previous posts) who is also (inevitably) a hypocrite.
(Part of the Loony Left and/or Loony Progressive and/or
Loony Populist ideology is that all groups are sacred and may not
be parodied or insulted in any way *except* white folks, especially
*rural* white folks. It's fun to pick on *them*.)
4) While you sit in Canada comfortably abstaining from - indeed, loudly
criticizing - the US attempt to tamp down a threat faced by
the *entire planet*, you should also be aware, that a disproportionate
percentage of the US military comes from "Redneck Country".
There are a lot of funerals in Red States while the critics sit
back and moan about the injustice of it all.
I think ethnic/class jokes can be funny or they can be cruel. I did not
find yours particularly cruel *or* funny. I just found it hypocritical
given the many times you've wagged your finger at some of us here about
our point-of-view. I suspect that's what Kilted was reacting to.
Perhaps you might want to get that beam out of your own eye first...

I have NEVER criticised the US war on this newsgroup, although I have
laughed at the little buffoon in the White House as I do at ALL
politicians of ANY party ANYWHERE.
BTW, last I heard, Canada does have troops over there too. Me, I had to
abstain, I'm too old for foxholes and stuff.

Even the *thought* of trying to bring some small light of reason to your
ideas makes me tired. Suffice it to say that Stalinist-style
dictatorships cannot be ignored without consequence. Ask the Kurds if he
was a "tinpot dictator". Ask the Kuwaitis if his threat was "far
fetched".
But (as usual) you missed the larger point. The knockout of the
Baathists was part of a larger roadmap to tamp down the threat of global
terror and the societies that support them. Iraq is strategic in this
matter because under Sadaam it had: a) Already financed terror and b)
Already used WMDs against innocent civilians. Iraq was also strategic as
an object lesson to the other savages in the region (the governments of
Iran and Syria) and a convenient platform from which to launch military
operations against them should it become necessary to do so.
One would hope the leaders of Iran and Syria would have learned their
lesson by now to avoid such further military action. Sadly, they seem to
employ much the same Reality avoidance mechanisms you've demonstrated
repeatedly. So, let me say this as kindly as I can: You cannot hope to
be happy or have anything resembling a realistic view of the world if
you do not at a minimum cooperate with Reality and embrace elementary
matters of fact. Dismissing SH as a mere "tinpot dictator" and
describing his contribution of threat to the larger world as "far
fetched" is not a good start viz embracing Reality ...

Fill in the blanks and you have the same excuse for invading any

excuses have been used by all imperialist nations as a self-serving

I have nothing against Jeff personally, nor any of the Bubba comics...
it is the phenomenon and lack of ass that I am pissed-off about.
Someone has to step-up and break the white-glass cealing on humor.
He gets to degrade us (I am a Southern male, somewhat typical in many
ways) for an hour and it is funny, because stereotypes are funny...
just like it is when Eddy Murphy makes fun of Blacks, Carlos Mencia
makes fun of Mexicans (though he never calls them Mexicans, any more
than Eddy calls them Blacks), Jackie Mason's insight into Jewish fun
and foibles had in in the isles on Broadway several years running...
The difference between them Jeff, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy...
when they are done with themselves, they get to pick on us and everyone
just laaaaaauuughs.
They can use the most degrading slang and most stereotypical situations
one can imagine and it just get FUNNIER.... you can see where this is
going, no?
And I know your argument... the horrors they endured... well the Irish
and many other whites did too... so I don't want to hear it.
If we are going to end racism, we have to just end it... that means get
over it.
Because funny is funny, if it is funny when Carlos or Eddy makes a
nigger or spic joke it would be exactly as funny if Jeff did it as well
as long as it was done in love and not hate.
