Glenn Beck: Rush is right – Obama and First Lady are uppity

Posted by The Right Scoop on November 22nd, 2011 in Politics | 31 Comments

Rush is being attacked as a racist for suggesting yesterday that the First Lady is ‘uppity’. But Glenn Beck stands with Rush and says if there ever was an uppity president and first lady, it would be this president and first lady:

She would have been better off if she went 50 miles north to Palm Beach and watched a polo match. They would not have booed her, they would have just ignored her.

they do.

Right, because black people have had to fight too hard to overcome the damning stereotype of being uppity.

I wasnt aware that only blacks could be uppity.. is that a new word that the thought police has deemed to be racist and verboten?

uppity
adjective (Informal) conceited, cocky, swanky (informal), self-important, overweening, bumptious, bigheaded (informal), on your high horse (informal), uppish (Brit. informal), full of yourself, too big for your boots or breeches (informal)

Not sure that she ‘s too big for those brogans she wears and I believe that her breeches are spandex. Everything else in the definition looks pretty accurate. Is “uppity” of of those words on the African American slang list which are prohibited for use by non-blacks? What’s all the hub-bub, bub? You’d think they introduced her with the song, “Lying ass bit**.”

right, no, it’s actually pretty much prohibited for just about anyone to use.

Prohibited? I don’t know what country you live in but don’t forget to check the expiration date on your visa, wouldn’t want you to overstay your visit to this country which, as of now, still has something called the first amendment.

Or am I totally missing your point?

And you are a fool and will lose your liberty before you even know what it is.

Free speech is not a defense of words but a defense of the free thought which drives words. Censor a word and you censor an idea.

Censor enough ideas and you will find yourself in chains praying for Mr. Lincoln to reincarnate. Ask around.

Right, I don’t actually mean illegal. I was using the same word the OP was using when describing words that are “prohibited for use by non-Blacks.”

I don’t mean prohibited by law, I mean prohibited by decorum. I didn’t think I had to explain that point.

Danny. That’s how I took it first then I wasn’t sure. You hit it right on the head. PC all that nonsense…

Is anybody else on a hair trigger lately? Thanks for clarifying-Sry I missed it.

Rush just called Barney Frank a fruit. Well, not directly, but I’m still laughing!

Right, the problem with “uppity” is that its standard usage is to describe black people who don’t “know their place”

I don’t think in contemporary usage I’ve ever heard it used otherwise. In fact, the only contemporary usage of the word in a public forum would be Clarence Thomas, describing his “high tech lynching”

I have to remind folks of how often the phrase “Uppity Women” occurs again?

In what constraining and confined brain clamp have you lived in the last… i dunno… fifty years.? Uppity… a word to describe black people? The second time I ever heard it used to describe black people is right here, right now by you. The first time was Clarence Thomas. The meaning of the word has not now miraculously changed because it was applied to a black person, one time, in some instance for some specific purpose.

Oh the hoops we jump to fit into the boxes and to satisfy the demands of the politically correct.

The next thing we’ll be required to do is run and scream when someone utters the word BOO!

Boo? That sure sounds racist to me. (RS, is this word allowed on this site?)

I could be wrong but I don’t recall Rush using the word “uppity” in his commentary, that was the media’s characterization of his comments.

If that’s the only way it’s been used (which I know for a fact isn’t true) then it needs to start being used over and over and over until it’s no longer another piece of liberal PC B.S. to use against people who are using the correct word to describe someone even if they happen to be BLACK. I personally have heard it used many times in the past to describe school girls or others that the definition describes that it was also used as a derogatory term against blacks by SOME is just to damn bad. If the DEFINITION of the word fits then that is the word to use. Letting liberals dictate what words we can use is another form of control used by dictators and we ain’t there yet. So yes Michelle Obama is condescending, selfish, dictatorial, egotistical and uppity, uppity, uppity, uppity and if she was white I’d call her condescending, selfish, dictatorial, egotistical and uppity, uppity, uppity, uppity but she isn’t white but I still think she’s condescending, selfish, dictatorial, egotistical and uppity, uppity, uppity, uppity.

not sure what you are talking about… I have in years past heard the term uppity used to refer to blacks who dont know their place.. that was in the 60′s… since then I have heard that term used almost exclusively by my white relatives about my white relatives….the word can be used for any human who displays the traits listed above (a definition posted earlier)

obama is a lazy, ignorant snot-nosed punk who hasn’t worked an honest day in his life.

his wife, a disbarred scumbag, is all about spending money and dictating to the rest of the country what we can and cannot do. Meanwhile, this pig spends $10 million of our money on vacations, spending cash on expensive stylists and shopping sprees, as well as shows in the White House. She also is shoveling food down her throat to built up that fat rear-end of hers.

What role models! WOW! What a couple!

I take it she’s not your nominee for woman of the year!

Maxsteele

Wow. Really? The MSM and demonocrats are calling someone who criticizes the president or his wife a racist??? Never heard that one before. Because they usually always come back with such solid defenses using sound arguments, statistics and legal precedent. They never go and play the race card, that is far too beneath them isn’t it??? (sarcasm intended)

For the first time in my life I’m proud of the word uppity!

Great comment.

What about those uppity racists like Sharpton, Jackson & Farrakhan, who just happen to have a darker skin color?

The First Linebacker at a polo match in Palm Beach? There’s a sight I’d like to see.

Muffy wouldn’t dare disparage the First Linebacker; she may spill her Chardonnay.

Yes, but did they have to use that word? Good grief. Be rational, fellows.

66 million people, with the help of the corrupt, liberal media…were allowed to perpetuate a lie and a myth, and thrust this unqualified, unvetted candidate–to the highest job in the land.

Just what the heck is arugula? And what does it cost? My grocers would laugh at
