Oh good. That makes me less annoyed.I've been. It wasn't worth the wait.
Um, you really think this is just about her making one statement 30 years ago? You think that's all there is to it?
I'm still waiting for him to answer me on how this is allegedly a ploy to take the heat off of Obama.
This amazes me... the woman built a career based on the worst possible diet imaginable. Leading people like a pied piper to the gates of chronic disease.. including Cardio-vascular, COPD, Type-II, fatty liver disease.. requiring constant treatment and medication... when most (80%) are curable through diet and exercise. Why should insurance pools be drained by self indulgent gluttons, driving up health costs for everyone? They suck up over half of all medical services... so when you can't get the doctor you want or have to wait three days for an appointment, when your healthcare payments increase, thank folks like Paula Deen.
Getting this woman off the air is saving lives, reducing strain on medical services and improving the economy. I'm only half kidding.
You know, people can simply choose not to cook and eat her recipes?
PS you seem a bit of a social control freak
Most people just eat cheesecake.. this woman is going to empower you with the knowledge of how to deep fry it.
I'm saying the gluttony this inspires impacts us all. In an epidemic of obesity and chronic disease, to listen to complaints about healthcare from individuals who make little effort for their own health is CRAZY!
I'm just pointing out hypocrisies. I don't care what you do.. as long as you want to pay for it out of pocket and it doesn't affect the rest of us
You're kidding right? Tell is man, how much of a fan were you before this manufactured smear? I know, you are still talking about it 3 weeks later because Paula Dean is just so damned important to what's happening today right? : roll:
Yeah, and people are still free not to deep fry it
Your earlier complaint was that she had a cooking show and that people would mimic her. My response was to point out they are free not to.
Now you're going on some rant about healthcare complaints and people not taking care of their health? Maybe try to focus that indignant outrage before unleashing it on the interwebs, mate
Then you should complain about health policy, not cooking shows and people freely engaging in eating unhealthy food
Their self induced chronic diseases impact all of us.
Food IS medicine... and can be an addiction. Fat addiction, sugar addiction, salt addiction...
So according to you, the best way to address addiction is to glorify it and show them how to cook their next fix
Let's give crackheads cocaine and show them how to freebase it through reality TV.

So according to you, the best way to address addiction is to glorify it and show them how to cook their next fix... and make it all socially (and commercially) acceptable? Let's give crackheads cocaine and show them how to freebase it through reality TV. Let's allow cigarettes to be advertised on TV and sell them to children. There really is a thin line between these things.
It's not about social control, it's about social responsibility and self control and commercial forces allied against those virtues.
Original argument:
I'm glad you've admitted that you were wrong and that my criticisms were well-founded.
I know both blacks and whites who collect that Aunt Jemima type kitchen stuff. It is more a southern thing than a race thing, but yankees don't seem to get that.
I've never been a fan, and it's not a manufactured smear. Do yourself a favor and do a little research, read a little bit more about it before you make yourself look silly by blaming this on Obama. Oh wait - you are one of those who blame everything on Obama. :lol: You just can't help it.
Carry on, just don't be surprised that people snicker behind your back.
Nah, people don't snicker....If you have a point to this unending attack on Dean, then by all means please fill us in? But in the process please also tell us why this is a story worth hundreds of postings, and weeks worth of attention?
You know, funny thing is, that Dean was an Obama supporter....I guess when the bus gets rollin', no one is safe from the wheels, even progressive demo's if it can help deflect from this incompetent, corrupt, immature dumb ass in the white house. Good Job!
I want to know who uses that racist syrup.
People don't just snicker at you...they guffaw. You're one of the biggest laughingstocks on DP, and your hack threads are widely mocked
That's because you're the hackiest hack on DP. Even with an issue as tangential as this, your hackiness compels you to make this somehow about Obama. In your hacky universe, the universe is so partisan that you are astonished that someone from "that side" would criticize someone else from "their own side"
You would never do such a thing, no matter how racist they were.
