No utensilios por ti!
“It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials board member Raquel Regalado told about 1000 delegates at the group’s annual conference.
“As you know, we’re having another speaker and there is some Secret Service involved. So there’s a reason why there’s no knives at your table and the forks will be collected. … And I’m not joking,” Regalado told the audience in a ballroom at Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. “So, like the good Hispanic mother I’m here to tell you to please, eat your lunch.”
A Secret Service spokesman confirmed that the agency made the request, but said such requirements are common at large events where the president speaks at about the same time people are dining.
Is that Raaaacist©?
Or just plain ol’, garden variety Bat S*beep*t Crazy?
Did they take the fork away from George Clooney? Baba Streisand? [hey - she don't look none too stable to me... just sayin']

Those people should have walked out after that.
But they didn’t…………
^Sondra – I would have been gone, preferably exiting just as Captain Bullshit got to the podium. Does Teh Won and his personal SS have doubts about how much he is loved?
“Spoon!”
Stay cool boy!
It’s common, according to a Secret Service spokesman. That, brawls at the bar and trying to stiff the prostitutes. Oh, you meant taking up all the knives from the wetbacks?
“Jus’ put that knife down and gimme yo’ money – we have guns.”
Either the Secret Service has a new found respect for the damage a Latino can do after their run in with the South America “escorts” or Latinos eat with pitchforks.
I know that minorities should be dependent on government, but do they really need bureaucrats to cut their meat?
Or maybe B-HO was afraid someone would remember his 2008 promise to come back to NALEO as president which he finally kept in 2012.
Maybe their minds are stuck in a movie: “Locksley, I’m going to cut out your liver with a SPOON!”
Except they left the spoons; bad research, guys
The dinner plates can make dangerous frisbees and when broken, have sharp edges, too.
It must be okay because they disarm our military in war zones for visits by teh precedent and his minions.
Yes, it’s common procedure, but (day-um!) was it ever handled badly.
Chalk up another offended minority. What? No. I’m talking about the Latinos that didn’t attend.
November is coming.
I stole this comment from elsewhere.
They were afraid someone would stick a fork in him cause he is
Done.
So how long before we have to start registering the knives and forks in our homes as weapons?
It ain`t the silverware that I would be worried about. It`s the LETHAL high-heeled shoooz in the hands of a woman!!!!!! Why? I have seen em RIGHT HERE on Drak`s blog—————————-
What’s the big deal?
Y’eat fried chicken with your fingers, right?
(Whaat?!)
Holder made silverware available under the table, though.
Joe (11)
Ahhhh … I’m gonna PShop that.
Maybe someone mentioned to them the butterknife brigade.
…afraid to even enter a room with people using silverware………..good grief……..nothing spells weakness like showing such cowardice as that!!……and the recent “no weapons for military” for the Campaigner in Chief in Mesopotamia was also a huge flash of his cowardice to the World too…..as well as a huge insult to the Military……
Meh …
Just throw your shoes as soon as the cameras come on.
I want to see a whole audience throw a shoe at Obama.
If you bring a knife to the fight they’ll bring guns. Big guns!! Take them across the boarder and kill a whole bunch of people than tell them if they make it here they can stay here with out being citizens and they love it because they don’t give a shit about the countries constitution because they aren’t citizens. But they can vote for the same guy that doesn’t give a shit about the constitution either. God Bless America–
Heaven forbid they remember the shoe throwing incident with Bush, they’ll start having everyone remove their shoes as well.
^ CI,
You been through a TSA checkpoint lately?
Fear the government who fears the people, especially when they fear those they claim as “their own”.
November IS coming.
In fact I can hear the heavy breathing already.
It isn’t my dog snoring, or farting…
And I’m far enough outside Olympia that the heavy breathing noise isn’t from there.
Kitchen knives are heavily regulated in Communist England.
They’re just testing out the idea here.
That deal some time ago where he disarmed troops in a combat zone went over so well…..
Pretty soon there’ll be no knives in any house anywhere.
Another take: It saves having to count the silverware after the dinner.
Trivia question: Why do Chinese & Japanese use chopsticks?
Because a long time ago, the Emperor decided that knives were too dangerous for ordinary people to have.
I don’t know if the chef has to get a Carry Permit for his knives.
Another story, obviously a cover, says that because Oriental plates were made of wood, knives cut them up and they didn’t last.
^^ Yanno, I’ve always wondered about that. I mean, if the little guys are so smart, why haven’t they invented the fork yet? It’s like ‘native’ americans being so spooky kewl and spiritual, and stuff, that they forgot to invent the wheel.
And pale white idiots who go to ‘Chinese’ restaurants and use chopsticks are on my Shortlist™.
P.S. I have actually been to Lee Ho Fooks, while walking through the streets of Soho in the rain. And I had me a big dish of what?
That’s right. Beef Chow Mein.
Just remembered:
Ha, Doug, I also remembered where those forks are displayed, too.
