Wilson; empty barrel is racist

The UK’s Daily Mail reports that Francesca Wilson, the Democrat Congresswoman who misquoted the president on his call to a Gold Star widow has “looked up” the phrase that Gold Star father General John Kelly used to describe the member of Congress and she has determined that “empty barrel” is racist;

‘You know, I feel sorry for Gen. Kelly. He has the sympathy for the loss of his son. But he can’t just go on TV and lie on me,’ Wilson said Friday on CNN.

The Florida Democrat also accused Kelly of using a ‘racist’ epithet against her during a White House news conference on Thursday afternoon, where he compared her to an ’empty barrel.’

Wilson said that after looking it up in the dictionary, she had concluded that ’empty barrel’ is a ‘racist term.’

I’m having trouble believing that Wilson has the language skills required to use a dictionary. I’m convinced that the entire English language is racist, and that’s why she refuses to use it in a cogent manner.

    Actually, for her it’s a compliment.

    1. OldSoldier54

      An empty barrel is definitely more useful, that is for sure.

    2. desert

      NO..she is not an empty barrel! She is a barrel full of SHYT!!

    Should have just called her an 02W. Oxygen waster

      If she’s going to rant about racism, could she stop culturally-appropriating western wear for her tacky-ass outfits?

      1. Mick

        Her trendy, fashionista cowboy hats are made of tinfoil.

        And they all have a high crown in order to accommodate her extremely pointy head.

        1. LiRight

          I’m now 70 years and wore a similar “cowboy” hat to a Holloween Party when I was 12 years of age.

          But the bottom-line is…..she’s a freaking idiot.

          Quote of the day from the Congresswoman, to POTUS, “don’t lie on me.”

          DUH!

          1. jonp

            Yeah, I almost spit out some soda on that one. Seriously, Trump has Melania, why would he want to go anywhere near you and if she was referring to Kelly, he would lie on you to shield you from an explosion. That’s because he is who he is.

          2. OldSoldier54

            She’s fluent in ebonics, I suppose.

  3. OWB

    Lying on her is undoubtedly among the last things Gen Kelly would wish to do. I doubt that he would wish to lie within a nautical mile of her.

    And, could she tell us if only specific calibers of barrels are racist or all they all racist? Or maybe only blue steel barrels?

    2. Angela Mapes

      Sorry buddy but you sound like a”woman hatter” and a bit racist. You point out that these three black women are ” stooges and attention whores”. What would you call the guy in office? Perfect? Hardly.

      1. Animal

        The fact that they are three black women is a point that you have raised. Race bait much?

    Definitely Maxine Waters’ protégé in terms of Teh Stupid… (“I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion.” –Maxine Waters)

    Has Francesca Wilson ever told the unvarnished truth about ANYTHING?

    1. Ex-PH2

      No, and I’m calling stolen valor on her for wearing a cowgirl hat whenever she’s in front of a camera.

      When was she ever on the back of a horse? She’s just pissed off because she didn’t even get looked at in the Miss Rodeo America competition… ever!!

      http://www.missrodeoamerica.com/p/missrodeoamerica/mra2017

      1. Angela Mapes

        A lot of people wear cowboy hats without ever sitting on a horse.

        1. OWB

          Not on the floor of the House. Ever heard of someone from Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, or one of those other states whine because they were asked to remove their hat before entering the House? Nope, me either.

          btw, folks who wear cowboy hats without ever sitting on a horse are routinely ridiculed all over this country. What’s your point? That this fool isn’t excluded because she’s black? Wouldn’t that be racist??

    Put the shirt bird wilson in an empty wheel BARREL and let her off in a toxic waste dump

  8. Mick

    Lighten up, you guys.

    Frederica Wilson is a ‘Rock Star’!

    Y’all better not ‘disrespect’ her…

    1. 1610desig

      She could be a tranny porn star too..looks like what one would see hanging out on D.C street corners during Marion Barry’s reign…

        that was her in the hotel room with him doing coke and crack

    Isn’t this simply more attention whoring by Wilson?

  10. MCPO NYC USN Ret.

    Yeah, well I ain’t lying on no body.

    I looked it up, and she is 180 degrees out and she is the one lying on herself … if that makes any sense:

    https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-meaning-of-the-saying-an-empty-barrel-makes-the-most-noise-How-did-it-first-come-into-existance

    Based on the results of my first hit look up, she is the racist.

    Unless of course she has equated Pluto, Shakespeare and the Romans all to modern day racism.

    1. Butch

      They all dead white men? Of course they RAYCISSSSS!

  11. MCPO NYC USN Ret.

    Oh my GoogleNet search was “meaning of empty barrel”.

    The results are all telling.

    Hit # 1: is the historical meaning with great commentary that is not rasist.

    Hit # 2: is a story about how the good General Kelly lambasted the congresswoman.

    In review and according to the internet, the FL congresswoman is an empty barrel.

    1. OWB

      But what caliber is the barrel?

  12. Butch

    Stupid lying twunt.

    I would love for video of that 2015 ceremony to surface.

    But she is a rock star to the residents of her district and will hold on to that seat until she dies.

    It sounds like an EO complaint in the U.S Army Germany around 1988.

  14. Bobo

    After pulling out the Congressional Black Caucus playbook, I see that the recommended response after a verbal beat down by someone not of your race is to immediately claim racism.

  15. Bobo

    From her bio: “As a former educator, elementary school principal,…” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why 1) she has been re-elected (her constituents have been “educated” by her and her ilk) and 2) Little Bobo will never step foot in a public school.

  16. Empty barrel is a rodeo term. It’s a rodeo clown who doesn’t know what they’re doing. It’s a reference to the barrels that rodeo clowns hide in.

  17. Sparks

    She is one grammar expert isn’t she? “But he can’t just go on TV and lie on me”.

    1. akpual

      She was a teechur

    2. rgr769

      She prolly taught Black Literature and Ebonics.

      1. Perry Gaskill

        It gets worse. She was the principal of an elementary school in Miami.

    Newsflash little congressional bimbette, when everything is racist, nothing is racist.
    Wanna take another jab at it?

      Good one! I shit myself!

  22. River rat, RVN

    I have yet to hear her explain why the term is racist.

    1. OWB

      She will not. All she must do is declare it so because she says so and we are supposed to react appropriately. I just can’t figure out what is appropriate to asininities such as hers. Not dignifying it with a response has obviously not worked.

    2. Ex-PH2

      Why? Because that is one of the few words in her vocabulary that has more than one syllable.

      1. Mick

        And like all of her verbs, it cannot be conjugated.

          Does that include the accompanying accents?

  23. AnotherPat

    Bottom line: She is a walking, talking hypocrite who does not really care for Veterans and is a HUGE ” Look At Me!!!” individual as demostrated not only by her hats, but also her actions.

    Her, Waters and Brown, AKA the Pointer Sisters. They consistently point their arrogant fingers at President Trump without looking first at their own reflection in a mirrors.

    She should be ashamed of herself…uhhh, what am I saying…that woman will most likely never come down from her high horse, even if lightning struck her.

    1. OWB

      Hey! Not fair to the Pointer Sisters!! At least they could sing on key and did not pretend to be something they were not. And they were damn fine entertainers.

      1. AnotherPat

        Whoops..should have added “with apologies to the real Pointer Sisters..” (doing MORE pushups for error)…???

        And yes they could sing..have all their music..? thanks for setting me straight, OWB!!

        1. OWB

          ‘sOK. Just stop doing those dadburned pushups! Are ya tryin’ ta make the rest of us look bad or what?

    I think it’s best to let fools like Maxine and Corinne and this birdbrained bimbo rattle on in a public forum as much as possible.

    The more they do so, the more they will continue to make public fools of themselves. Remember Maxine Waters used the word “impeach” in reference to Pres. Trump at least 15 times (I lost count) and insistently denied ever saying that until it was run live on TV by Fox News.

    Remember, also, that when someone like this bunch of cranks starts right out using the word ‘RACIST’, they are using it for everything, and they should be pointing at themselves when they say it.

    1. OWB

      Yep.

  27. Mason

    Dear Congresswoman Wilson,

    The good general was calling you stupid. You opened your mouth and proved him correct.

    Good day, madame. Nothing follows.

    Ms. Sparkle Hat is beating up the President for ‘being disrespectful of a gold star mom” by insulting a Gold Star Father

    I know, let’s stack Gen. Kelly’s resume against Sparkle Hat’s and see who has accomplished the most in their lives.

    Where do the Dem’s get these immensely stupid women from?

    1. UpNorth

      Where? They just go to the immensely stupid democrat closet and get one out as needed. The supply is endless.

    2. Poetrooper

      They get them from the urban ghettos their party’s policies have created since the Civil Rights Era.

  29. Green Thumb

    By the looks of Wilson, I can tell you one thing: Her wallet is not empty.

    She is banking off the pockets of her impoverished district.

  30. Rosalee Adams

    One more intellectually challenged who cannot get over fact Hillary the harridan did not win.
    And speaking of lacking intellect, Larry O’Donnell defines General Kelly as a racist because he is from Boston. Worst yet, he is from a working-class Irish neighborhood.
    But what of the Kennedys who are worshiped by Dimwits? They are Bostonians, but maybe lace curtain Irish are exempt 🙂

    1. OWB

      It’s getting more clear each day, but it would seem no Dem can be racist, EVER, no matter what they say or do, and toward who they spew their venom. They can even target people specifically for their skin color/political affiliation/other arbitrary item with impunity. And yes, by target I do mean shoot bullets at them.

      On the other hand, what anyone who strays off the Dem plantation does or says is racist.

      At least that seems to be the plan this week. It’s not what you do that makes you a racist, it’s now who you are. Maybe it includes whatever you say, but that seems to change hourly, depending upon, well, who you are.

      I can say that the sky is beautiful today, and Dems would declare it racist since the statement is coming from a conservative. They can kill me and all my kin and that’s OK, since we are mostly conservatives and therefore racist.

      1. Eden

        Precisely!

  31. A Proud Infidel®™

    FACT: 10 out of every 10 impoverished crime-ridden inner city hellholes have been lorded over by D-rats for multiple decades. Liberals can label me “racist”, etc all they want to, I see that as proof that I used facts, logic and common sense when debating them.

  32. Stephen F. McCartney, M.D.

    I went with 2d MEB to Helmand Province for a year.I was “invited” to go by my previous CG and to decide quite soon,as there were several other surgeons politicking hard to get the assignment. So I had a “choice”. My wife was there for the entire conversation and asked me why as 61 y/o old Navy surgeon, I decided to go. She knew the answer when she asked it.
    ” We both know the risks.. this is what I signed up for”.
    This congresswoman doesn’t get how we think when we raise our hands and sign that open ended check. Wearing her cowboy hat too tight to keep the cheap wig on is costing her some valuable oxygen to her squash.

    Racist?! That is so far fetched it is hilarious. Almost as hilarious as her dumbass hats she insists on wearing. If she really was good in her position, she wouldn’t need a hat as a gimmick. Maybe the hat is to keep the air in her head from escaping? My grandmother told a looooonnnngggg time ago that the empty barrel makes the most noise. She could not have been more right.
