The Meaning of "Hockey Mom": More Lipstick, More Pig

Hockey is the whitest ass sport in the world. Everyone knows that.

So, we ask, Is the phrase “Hockey mom” not a euphemism for “white,” maybe even “blond”, “women” who are urged to vote Rethuglican because there is a black man on the Democratic ticket?

Is it not to characterize the so-called “white ethnics” in terms more specific and explicit than “soccer moms” (which could include Hispanic moms, after all) or “security moms” (which is Every Mom, though with a distinctly conservative, post 9/11 flavor).

You can even hear it. The vowels of this phrase “H ‘eye’ ckey ” “M ‘eye’ m” are meant to signal “midwestern-white-, or rust-belt women, and/or mid-North women from Minnesota and other such states”.

One hears in this phrase, then, the aural equivalent of the imagery of the McCain ad that opens with almost subliminal images of blond celebrity women (Paris and Britney), narrated by that “skeptical” or even “worried” female voice – all to express a certain hyped-up “blond/black,” “white/black” dichotomy.

In other words, it's lipstick on yet another pig -- the whole "black man / blond woman" narrative, which has quite ancient, hysterical, and racist roots in this country.

The recrudlicans put this plastic oil puppet, dangerous christian nut-job to, in part, appeal to the base racist instincts of fence walking undecideds. The message she is there to propel in part is just like you pointed out:
"Feeer the blake mane" Your slutty teenage dipshit daughters are not safe. Jay-Z will be the secratary of "bling-bling", Diddy will be secratary of "can I get a 'what-what', Fiddy cent will be secratary of defense of 'keeping it real' , and, can you imagine the first state of the union? It will only be seen on B.E.T, and the whole thing will be done in a loud night club in Harlem and the entire speech will be nothing but "BIG UPS", "MAD PROPS" and "SHOUT-OUTS TO MY HOMIES" followed by 'tittie-shots' of Colt 45...
Sounds good to me, milktoast.

A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and asks, "Do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur?"
The rabbit says,"No, not really."
So the bear grabs the rabbit and wipes his ass with him....

They knew that they could not act excited about Mcsame because they weren't and because nobody would have bought it. So now they have this stupid ass chick and they are excited about her and are not worried about anybody seeing through it. It's two things going on here at once. For me too. I don't know whether to be disappointed with them for expecting better of them, or be disappointed with myself because I actually thought they they were not this fucking stupid and racist. I suppose there are double movements all around, bowel movements. And it is very shitty.

We are ALL FUCKED if this EVIL FALSE CHISTIAN gets in and, we all know, the old man will die soon and SHE will be in there, LEADER of the FREE(bullshit)WORLD. That baby isn't hers. Her daughter gave birth to him, and when her daughter has a "miscarriage" the mainstream media will not blink twice, because they are all a bunch of nutless jellyfish. Also, she had a (I swear) a witch hunting preacher lay hands on her when she was running for guv, praying for finances and in the name of Jesus, the defeat of witchcraft and whatnot.
It's not sexism. She is a dangerous-maybe moreso than W -cretin. In the name of the real Jesus- you know, the famous community orginizer that she ripped on, please send her back to Wasilla, meth lab capital of All Ask Ya.
