Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, July 31, 2024

After Black Women for Harris and White Women for Harris, it was the turn of "White Dudes for Harris" -- where almost 200,000 people, including the actor who plays "The Dude" himself - Jeff Bridges - helped raise over $4 million during a fundraising Zoom call, according to organizers.

The more than three-hour-long online call saw actors Mark Hamill, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sean Astin and Josh Gad among the men expressing support for Vice President Harris's presidential bid, alongside 'N Sync star Lance Bass and a host of Democrat politicians.

Most notable among the celebrities was a man introduced as the "dude in chief," actor Jeff Bridges, who played The Dude in "The Big Lebowski," released in 1998, and joked: "I qualify ... I'm White, I'm a dude and I'm for Harris."

"What a variety of Whiteness we have here ... it's like a rainbow of beige!" actor Bradley Whitford of "The West Wing" told the group. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) teased that a White Dudes gathering "doesn't usually sound like something I would join, but this is a terrific cause."

During Monday's call, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said it was an "honor" to address "this convening of dudes, right after The Dude," referencing Bridges. "The vibes right now are incredible," Buttigieg said of the Harris campaign. "The momentum is extraordinary."

"I've never felt this kind of belief, this kind of enthusiasm ever. I want us to enjoy it," Whitford said.

What else is there to say other than "(T)he Dude abides." Yes he does.

It's nice to see people talking about how it's alright to be white without a hidden supremacist agenda.

Apartheid Clyde doesn't care about white guys having an exclusive group to raise money for a black woman.

He just doesn't like Harris or the democrats, and he only believes in right wing speech.

Not quite what I remembered so I went back and looked. What I remember is I was disappointed he did say some very pro-Trump things, that's what I remembered. I also remembered him coming out and saying he didn't vote for Trump. I really think he is someone that didn't get it. I know several of those that wouldn't vote for Trump now but actually did then because they couldn't believe that was the real him.

This happened organically. The first night after Biden bowed out and Harris tossed her hat into the ring, black women who regularly "meet" on Sunday nights held a zoom call and a whole bunch of black women tuned in. Not to be outdone, black men decided to due a similar zoom call, and white women decided to follow suit. Other groups have followed like the White Dudes for Harris mentioned in this article. FWIW, the other night there was a Women for Harris zoom call that was open to women of all races and not all groups have a racial/ethnic compenent. For example, Dads for Kamala, Disabled Voters for Harris and Crazy Cat Ladies for Harris are among the other "groups" gathering online to raise money, awareness and lists of volunteers.

Black women, white dudes, crazy cat ladies: Identity groups fuel a groundswell for Harris

Within hours after President Biden announced he would not seek reelection and endorsed Harris as his replacement nominee, more than 44,000 Black women and allies from across the country gathered online, raising over $1.5 million, according to organizers. The template for that event, organized by Win With Black Women, was repeated the next day by Win With Black Men, which organizers said brought 45,000 Black men and raised $1.3 million. . . .

On Tuesday, Harris announced she would be headlining a "National Organizing Call" " open to all identities.

If your current alias were to phrase that as a "Billionaires Buying Trump" bumper sticker, I thinker it might have some traction.

If Trump were a mixed-race female 20 years younger, that comment might make sense.

Or we could say, how are you received around here?

@#20 ... If Trump were a mixed-race female 20 years younger ...

Not just that.

Fmr Pres Trump seems to have a history of racial (I'll be kind) bias.

Republicans have Hulk Hogan and we have the Dude.

One of them is known for being a racist has been and the other is known for being awesome.

How much does anyone want to bet that Trump repeats this line before the end of his campaign?

It does make me laugh though, lol.

Why, did you run out of money? Trolling compensation get cut due to its ineffectiveness?

#25 | Posted by tonyroma at 2024-08-01 07:31 AM | Reply

Since you are bereft of a sense of humor I will explain. Biden/Harris inflation limits discretionary spending so money given to Hillary 2.0 can't be spent on fat chick only fans. The White Dudes for Hillary/Harris demographic has been scientifically proven to be either gay or into fat chicks.

It is absolutely hilarious to see liberals loving some white people now. I get it though, as long as they fall in line and accept the grooming, liberal leaders are happy.

I am astonished to learn that I never liked myself.

I am not merely white, I am pink.

But if Kamala pulls this off and crushes Trump, I'm going to apply to be an Honorary Black.

DNA testing proves that I am 1% African-American. So by the laws that I was born under in Texas I was always secretly Black.
