The New Face Of Townhall: Fired From UNC Newspaper For Anti-Arab Screed
The conservative blog Townhall has a new spokesperson making the rounds these days and well, let's just say she is the perfect example of today's GOP -- and all that is wrong with it.
Jillian Bandes has been quite busy lately, appearing on CSPAN Friday morning, then showing up on MSNBC where she got very nasty with our dear friend Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake, who laid waste to her right wing talking points.
Bandes is no stranger to controversy. As Tintin at one of my favorite blogs, Sadly No! reminds us, she made her bones by publishing an anti-Arab screed in her college newspaper:
Hey, whatever happend to Jillian Bandes? You remember her. She was the redneck wingnut who was fired from the UNC student newspaper after writing a column advocating that all Arab guys should be strip-searched at airports and that this wasn’t really a problem because Arab guys would enjoy getting all “sexed up” at the airport. Well, guess what? Jillian is now a contributor to the Clown Hall blog — “Where racism isn’t just a philosophy, it’s a job qualification!”
The other great thing about blogging for Clown Hall is you can recycle some stale wingnut blogger talking points from weeks ago, lard it up with ridiculously hyperbolic language à la Atlas’s Jugs, make up some shit to throw in for good measure to get the half-witted Town Hall commentariat all torn up, offer it up as your own blog posting, and then call it a day, collect your wingnut welfare check, and get to happy hour at Smith Point by mid-afternoon. Which is pretty much what Jillian did with her latest offering: “Michelle Obama’s Veggie Garden Is Poisoned!” Read on...
Here are a few snippets from Bandes' anti-Arab rant:
I want all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched if they get within 100 yards of an airport.
I don’t care if they’re being inconvenienced. I don’t care if it seems as though their rights are being violated.
They’re some of the brightest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Tragically, they’re also members of an ethnicity that is responsible for almost every act of terror committed against the West in the recent past....
Stay class...never mind. If you don't have Sadly No! bookmarked, you should. It's a guilty pleasure of mine that never disappoints!
She set her beer on the felt. Need ANYONE say more.
in idiocracy on and her "green dress" to match behind her ears.
:D
me-oww!
It's not her beer. It's al-Kayak's, her boyfriend's beer.
preferred by "narco-terrorists at that??
its a corona! how can she drink a mexican beer?
Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing.....it's one of them furin' beers, and a dirty Mexican, illegal immigrant type at that!
If you are going to drink Mexican beer, have the sense to drink Tecate or Dos Equis. Beer Advocate deservedly gave Corona a D-.

Uh oh, looks like the Republicans haven't forgiven Ann Coulter for her McCain slags. Run, Ann, run!! You're about to be outsourced (for a younger, prettier model no less)!
pretty?
a century plant is prettier and smells better.
against Jane Hamsher on MSNBC?
Was that some sort of a live televised "sacrifice" or something?
LOL
in her twenties or so, and for that, as another twentysomething, I'm very ashamed!
The way she acted towards Jane Hamsher was vile.

No matter what color they were, nineteen men at three separate locations should never have been able to board those airplanes with METAL BOX CUTTERS on 9/11.
And forcing us to have passports to go to Canada wouldn't have stopped it. The hijackers had clean passports, all of them. SAUDI passports. MAKING SURE THE AIRPORT RENTACOPS WERE UNDER STRICT ENOUGH CONTROLS THAT THEY COULDN'T BE PAID OFF BY AL QUEDA WOULD HAVE.

Maybe if the FBI had listened to James Woods, the whole thing could have been avoided. But noooo. He's just a fucking ACTOR, what does he know about anything?

It is my personal sorrow that the left/progressives spend so much time defending advocates of states who practice amateur surgery, sans anesthesia, on their smaller citizens, a la Dr. Mengele, and who brainwash their young men into suicide bombing.
Search them with x-rays and with MRI's, if necessary. I've neither seen, heard of, nor read media reports on Jews bombing our buildings, hijacking our aircraft, nor killing our citizens (at least since the Frank murder of Mary Phalen in the 1920's)--a pretty good track record for any ethnos or religion.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose. Jillian Bandes should be strip searched every time she gets within 100 feet of a radio, television or computer.
Ha!!!
Good one.

Excellent question, ysb!
Stupid comments from a stupid woman but islam is a problem. Religion, in general is a problem because it fosters very bad ways of thinking.
Support reason not superstition.
"Religion, in general is a problem because it fosters very bad ways of thinking."
Religion is nothing but hatred. In any book of religion they persecute non-believers. Religion, regardless which one, promotes violence and not peace.

Absolutely nothin'.
This is exactly what this vile woman is looking for. She's a Coulter wannabe. She says things to promote herself and in hopes that others will promote her two. Look at her Youtube account. She gets very little hits and maybe one or two comments. Is she a disgusting piece of shit? Yes. Should she have to answer for her comments? Maybe. Does she deserve this free publicity? Absolutely not.
Conservatives will see post like this and think "who is this American patriot, I must start watching her". And Liberals saying "What a piece of crap, let's post what she says", and she gets a following.
Ignore her or when a strong wind blows mAnn Coulter out to sea, she'll step in.
is intended to be a factual statement
already has their sights set on her.
Narcissist? Check.
Shapely figure? Check.
Persecution complex? Check.
Stupid? Check.
Big Hair? Check.
Stripper name? Check.
OK. She meets all their requirements.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Did I just say that? You're probably right. They're writing up a contract as we type.
is intended to be a factual statement
At least she had her hair done (in a trailer-trashy way) for the Hamsher throwdown.
And what's with that voice? She makes Palin almost sound soothing (in a chalk-boardy way).
... showing off her crednetials: 1. Racist 2. Ignorant 3. Shrill 4. Victim 5. Very, very fugly.
Yep, she's the next Michanne Malter.

A picture of three freaking idiots.
Note the way Jillian is holding her gun. She can't even do the Charlie's Angels pose properly.
that is responsible for almost every act of terror committed against the West in the recent past....
Excluding American rightwing nutjobs, of course. But their acts of terrorism don't count because...
Why DON'T they count, by the way?

Didn't Jesus say something about Arabs being heathens? I'm sure right wing douche bags can find a biblical passage to make that argument.
Here is a clip of O'Reilly pontificating about religion, and a pretty dead on article.

Ah, the "some of my best friends are black" argument. She fits in with that website perfectly. Her and Debbie Schlussel can bash a whole race of people together.
And it's a Mexican beer!

Any person advocating waterboarding or cavity searches should be required to endure same.
Just went back and watched the Jillian Bandes/Jane Hamsher dialogue.
And Ms. Bandes can go fuck herself. As the father of two deaf children (only one ear for one) who has struggled to get coverage my entire life she has raised my blood pressure.
Again, Ms. Bandes. Fuck off. And fuck Townhall too. You sicken me.
she doesn't have proper parenting
She does know about the fights in Ireland involving the IRA, eh?

someone should tell jbrandes that used
depends don't make good bra stuffers.....stinky
she would probably enjoy a cavity search or two
herself, except there's not any room left with
her head stuffed up her (your choice of cavity).
I just watched the video where Jane really stuck it to Bandes. Jeez, I really cannot stand that Bandes woman. Where do people like this come from?
Posing by her trailer park and F-150? Camo and a 12 gauge? Why not---it's the asinine wingnut way! Do the 20% ers proud! Be a dupe for the gang of morans!
And honey---don't put your beer on the billiards table, please. Evidentally you haven't ever really shot pool in your life.
