Does Kinky Friedman Know A Word Besides ‘Nigger’?
By Vince Leibowitz on Sep 21, 2006 in 2006 Texas Elections, Uncategorized
Kinky Friedman has quite an affection for the racist word, “nigger.”
Call it sheer stupidity, call it racist, call it what you want. I’ll call it the Kinky Friedman N-Word Scandal, because it seems that, for the last 20 years, Kinky Friedman has used the word ‘nigger’ a bit too much for someone who wants to be governor of Texas. And, more than anything else, this will be Kinky Friedman’s downfall.
We’re all familier with Kinky’s recent use of the N-word and similar variants.
Now, Burnt Orange Reports points us to an audio file from the 1980s where Friedman called bowling balls, “nigger eggs” in one of the most racist jokes I’ve ever heard.
His old song, ‘They Ain’t Makin’ Jews Like Jesus Anymore’ also includes the offending word:
I said, has it occurred to you, you nerd, that thats not very nice,
We jews believe it was santa claus that killed jesus christ.
you know, you dont look jewish, he said, near as I could figger
I had you lamped for a slightly anemic, well-dressed country nigger.
I’ve never had any use for anyone who used the N-word in any context whatsoever and, deep down, I don’t think the people of Texas do either.
Perhaps Friedman could take a lesson from this Sly & the Family Stone song.
kinky is now officially stinky.
I become more and more confident that Kinky will win the more that the liberals jump up and down about Kinky saying “tar baby”, and talking about “nigger eggs,” and saying criminals should be punished by being locked in prison with mumbling “negroes”, and his talk of eating “fried chicken in the ghetto,” and calling the blacks from New Orleans still in Houston over a year after Katrina “thugs and crackheads”.
We’re in Texas, for God’s sake. For every whiney liberal who gets his panties in a bunch, Kinky’s comments are winning him three new votes!
Why does this surprise anyone? Am I the only person whose heard the Kinkhole sing “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore”?
You whiny PC libs just don’t get it. Kinky’s been MAKING FUN OF racists for over 3 decades by telling jokes at their expense. It’s humor meant to poke fun of them - not racism itself.
Have you never seen Richard Pryor or Carlos Mencia? They use the exact same style of humor, including the more vulgar language. Kinky is no different.
I give it any day now until till one of you whacky libs “discovers” a “thirty year old recording” of Kinky singing “Asshole from El Paso” then passes it along to the media with demands that he apologize to LULAC for certain words that appear there.
Seriously Vince - your whiny, noxious, uninformed commentary on this issue reminds me of somebody who watches “Blazing Saddles” then fires off a letter to Mel Brooks accusing him of racism.
The Local Crank asked….
“Am I the only person whose heard the Kinkhole sing “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymoreâ€?”
Answer,
Nope, just the only one who didn’t “Get it”!
Epah, dude, apparently sarcasm and you are unacquainted. My point was, how can anyone who has ever listened to Kinky’s music be “shocked and appalled” that he would drop an N Bomb. I like his music, especially Asshole from El Paso. I’m not against the Kinkhole because I think he’s a racist; I’m against him because I think he’s a joke candidate without a clue.
Hunter Thompson used that joke. He told it better, and he can no longer be demonized as he’s been cannonized. Kinky is getting publicity that he could never buy. The other candidates are all in agreement on ganging up on him. This could work. Every knock a boost?
Whatever he may or may not be doesn’t matter all that much to me. The fact that he stands by what he believes and what he says is proof enough that he isn’t a politician. Compare Kinky’s refusal to apologize for what he said and stack it up against such memorable phrases as “I did not smoke marijuana”, “I experimented with marijuana but didn’t inhale”, as well as the more recent winners “I did not have sexual relations with that women…” followed not to long after by the memorable 3 and 1/2 minute Clinton apology speech…. An apology that didn’t even last as long as the blowjob itself. This article was intended to portray Kinky Friedman in a negative light and encourage people to vote against him, but it just made me want to vote for him more.
PS: In Houston the number of robberys and drug related crimes shot up 20% after the influx of former New Orleans residents.
