Amy Holmes

[sean69]

Never really cared for her but after watching this latest episode of Real Time with Bill Maher and I'm now convinced that she's not very bright. Actually bordering on stupid. She's like the quintessential educated fool.

My boy Hill Harper is like "da fuck is wrong with this bitch?"


Amy: "I don't see it that way"
Bill: "Well you don't read"

Her expression after that ownage. Priceless.

 

[CT's Finest]

Yeah, I saw that too. I don't understand her at all. It's almost like she's just saying this shit to be "different". She's smarter than that. I was rooting for Hill to pull her aside backstage and holla at her. You know, bring her "back home"......Until something like that happens Amy gets a big...

 

[Blunt]

She's a Conservative (with a religious bent) so you're not likely gonna buy what she has to say regardless of how she says it. Well-educated woman born in Africa. Follows the party line.

 

[mcguyver]

If you had said she is a smart woman blunt would have said she is the dumbest woman alive.

 

[ronmch20]

If you had said she is a smart womand blunt wouuld have said she is the dumbest woman alive.

Absolutely.

She and Michelle Obama graduated from Princeton. I think it's safe to say that both are well-educated. Kinda "dumb" to think otherwise.

 

[dHustla]

Y'all watch that kinda shit?

I'm looking @ y'all like "what the fuck"!

 

[APOPHIS]

Why the need to mention her being born in Africa?
Exactly how does that information fit into the topic of debate?

Also, an individual who's "well educated" can be just as misinformed and/or uneducated about environmental global warming as easily as someone who is not [well educated]. Had her area of expertise been in environmental studies, then her argument would have held more validity. She's opposing what many scientists around the globe are publicly conveying in part of party view and her own ineptitude. Facts are facts, opinions do not warrant as much merit.

Oy vey!
Dude, c'mon!

Education and specialization are Two DIFFERENT things.
Her attending Princeton does not mean she's smarter than someone who specializes in a particular field. I highly doubt she has can outwit an accountant in reading a balance sheet, or tell an engineer more about his/her profession. I'm not taking away from her intelligence, just challenging your moronic beliefs.

 

[Naha-Nago]

I like her....

-Blind loyalty inspite of mountains of evidence going the other way.

-Lack of critical/independent thinking skills: will do as she is told ("Hold the party line").

-Educated but not intellegent; smart enough to balance a checking account but not smart enough to wonder why I have joint access to it.

-Big mouth....litterally.


Gentlemen, she is....


The perfect sidepiece.

@ the bolded...

The problem with the conservatives is that they put too much "faith" (satirically) on their religion and beliefs rather than on what science says. And, yeah, I'm religious and I can say that...

What she fails (and several other conservatives) fail to recognize is that in moving towards a "greener" environment, as Hill Harper said, the Earth benefits from far more than just the environmental consequences that global warming theorists speak off.

APOPHIS, why do you even bother? Blunt and that dipshit HALO play their pathetic attention whoring trolling gimmick to a T.

Amy Holmes is NOT intelligent.

Intelligence:

"A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings — “catching on”, “making sense” of things, or “figuring out” what to do."


A while back I started a thread about the disadvantages of an elite (Ivy League) education.

Vindicated.

Jo, that's the least of what she fails to understand. The woman is simply not very smart. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots. Ok, even if you're a skeptic of global warming at least apply some intelligence to your arguments.

I'm sorry, she just comes off literally, as dumb.

Yeah that's right go ahead and act like to don't know what he was saying about you. But just in case you are as stupid as you are annoying, he meant you are the most negative, sarcastic person on this Board. If someone says cat, you'll say rat; if someone says up, you'll say down; if someone says black, you'll say white. Get it now, you all negative, all the time, hermaphrodite???

Not relevant.
All that's relevant is whether her argument holds any water..

I think YOU'RE the moron. People like her UNDERSTAND the concept of "global warming" and all that shit. They just cringe at the GOVERNMENT's involvement in combating it. It's all about CONSERVATIVE fiscal values. Anything that looks like its gonna cost taxpayer money or create a new GOVERNMENT agency is gonna elicit a knee-jerk reaction from folks like her and others on that side of the fence. (The same way anything that smacks of racism will create a knee-jerk reaction in some blacks, often an absurd one.) They see it as LIBERAL fear-mongering for the purpose of taking over people's lives and taxing people more. It's a POLITICAL and philosophical point-of-view, and not a scientific one (which is irrelevant when it comes to these types of issues).

 

[Mo-Better]

The first time I saw Amy I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. (Hey she's cute) But this chick is a total lost cause. Friday night Bill Maher put her ass in check a couple of times and she still kept babbling.

She really should've been embarrassed when Bill blazed her ass saying "I thought you would've been defending black people." The fact is Amy doesn't think of herself as being black.

China and India on Board with Copenhagen Accord

Mar. 10 – Top environmental and climate negotiators for China and India instructed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on Tuesday to include them amongst the nearly 200 countries listed at the top of the Copenhagen Accord.
The accord, a three-page nonbinding statement, was the only thing to come out of the failed attempt at world government that was the Copenhagen Summit this past December.
The deal underlines climate change as one of the great challenges of our time and calls for limiting the rise in global temperature to below two degrees Celsius. It also asks developed countries to raise funds of US$30 billion for new and additional resources by 2012 and for the world to raise US$100 billion a year by 2020 to help developing countries mitigate carbon emissions.
China and India are the last two large economies to attach their name to the deal, but are among the most important due to the role that they are forecast to play as they continue to fuel their growth in the coming years.
“After careful consideration, India has agreed to such a listing,” India’s Environmental Minister Jairam Ramesh told Parliament on Tuesday, according to Reuters. “We believe that our decision to be listed reflects the role India played in giving shape to the Copenhagen Accord. This will strengthen our negotiating position on climate change.”
In a similar move yesterday, Beijing’s Su Wei sent a one-sentence statement to the UNFCCC confirming China’s desire to be named among the countries that “take note of” the Copenhagen Accord.
“I am writing to confirm that the Secretariat can proceed to include China in the list of Parties included in the chapeau of the Copenhagen Accord,” it read.
While the actual ramifications of China and India signing on to the deal are minimal due to the difficulty of establish a legally binding agreement, it does give the Copenhagen Accord a bit more credibility and could help to put everyone on the same page for real progress being made in Mexico in 2010 or, more likely, South Africa in 2011.

That was hilarious!!!

"I'm not a Mormon, I'm not here to defend Mormonism--"

"I would think you'd be defending black people."

She totally chooses not to identify with blacks. She should be embarrassed to be so stunningly blind. I agree that she's not very smart, also; she's a willing token and somewhat attractive, which, sadly, is pretty much all they look for when they put women on political TV shows.

From a 2008 BGOL thread:

From Huffington Post:

"Amy Holmes, a beautiful (if politically backwards) African American woman in her early 30s, is so hard up for a boyfriend that she decided to troll for men on J-Date, the online dating site for Jewish singles who prefer to date Jewish singles. Amy Holmes, just in case there was any doubt, is not Jewish. Her confessional story unfolds like this: Holmes goes on J-Date. Mentions in her profile that she isn't Jewish. Mentions in her profile that she isn't even single, being in a three-week break-up process with her semi-ex-boyfriend of three months. And, posts what she described to View viewers as a terrible photo in which she's trying to hide from the camera. Then -- shocker! -- she's surprised that she didn't find her dream man, but only a horny 26-year-old looking for internet sex. Being single myself, I usually have sympathy for tortured dating stories (seriously, I'm usually the one who wins those cringe-worthy dating anecdote-trades at parties), but in this case, I just had to laugh my ass off. No wonder she worked so long for the IWF: she has no common sense!"

She's blacker than you are, having actually been born in Africa. She chooses not to identify with black LIBERALS.

She should be embarrassed to be so stunningly blind.

"Blind" because she disagrees with your political philosophy. That's kinda what makes the world go 'round.

I agree that she's not very smart, also; she's a willing token and somewhat attractive, which, sadly, is pretty much all they look for when they put women on political TV shows.

That's some dumbass sexist shit. She's obviously an accomplished person with a considerable resume. Her looks are helpful in terms of TV exposure, but the same goes for black men and everyone else. I'm certain her IQ is considerably higher than yours. She's just a committed Conservative. Period.

We don't know the politics of the man Romney assaulted on that plane, either-- She clearly chooses not to identify with black PEOPLE.

It's not sexist. It's a commentary on the practices of the people who put these TV personalities out there. What is sexism is the practice putting eye candy on news shows rather than qualified women, of which I'm sure there are plenty.

Her resume brings to mind the saying "There's no there there." Many people have acknowledged her education, which is why she's called an educated fool.

"Blind" because she disagrees with your political philosophy. That's kinda what makes the world go 'round.

Blind because she willingly ignores her own skin color to the point that she's busy conceding the fact that she can't defend Mormonism rather than understanding that the bullshit in their Holy Book applies to her.

She and Jessie Lee Peterson would be perfect for one another if they weren't each repulsed by the other's skin color.

She came on the show with facts backing what she was saying and folks on here call her dumb. Her argument does hold water.

China and India signing on to a piece of paper or making a statement about shit that will never get adopted anytime in the near future if does doesn't mean shit. They sign on because they are the biggest poluters now and growing and them signing on is a strategic move to say we are doing something about cleaning up our environment. See we have joined the glabal initiative and working with the rest of the world in drawing up solutions to do so.

The global warming theory doesn't hold shit. Everything they give as a reason for their dooms day scenerio has been refuted with historical facts. Yet the people with the facts on their side are the ones being called fools.

I hate the fact that too many black folks refuse to look objectively at ideas and facts because the person who made them aware a Republican. From her argument she has looked at both sides of the issue and she is on the side with the facts and so am I.

Meaning what exactly? I take it you were Ivy League educated in climate science too huh.


Her argument? Her argument was that we had three blizzards this winter ...



Please state your historical facts. And don't be a simple ass pussy and post Googled links that you have no idea what they're about or the integrity of their sources. Unless you are ... in which case never mind.
