This weekend, Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, was crowned the newest Miss America. But "patriot" Todd Starnes was not only displeased, he took to Twitter and Facebook to air his bigoted and hate-mongering sour grapes.
As Raw Story caught, Starnes was peeved that the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Miss Kansas didn't win instead. Raw Story pointed out that Miss Kansas was indeed awesome, having spent five years in the Kansas Army National Guard and now a double major in chemistry and Chinese at Kansas State University. But to Starnes, her loss not only meant that the judges were too liberal and anti-American but that it was also a good excuse to foment resentment.
He tweeted, "The liberal Miss America judges won't say this - but Miss Kansas lost because she actually represented American values."
And he repeated his animosity on Facebook: "Americans were backing Miss Kansas -- but the liberal Miss America judges were not interested in a gun-toting, deer-hunting, military veteran."
Not that there's any indication Starnes had anything like real data. Apparently, just throwing around right-wing bigotry and smears against liberals is acting as mainstream America, in Starnes' mind.
Memo to Starnes: If Miss America isn't American enough for you, maybe it's because you're not American enough for America.
We can imagine what Toddy really thinks of Jindal and Haley.
(Bharat is the Hindi language name for the Republic of India. It makes things less confusing for me. I doubt it’ll be accepted anywhere else but I don’t care.)
I don’t know or care what Miss Kansas politics are, but if she were liberal I’m sure Starnes would then attack her for having the audacity of not sharing the same “values” as he seems to be the all knowing on what those should be.
