Jon Miller: Flannel Shirt Brigade?

[ArvadaHawk]

Jon, I listened to today's podcast. What is the Flannel Shirt Brigade?

 

[NEIChawk]

sssssshhhhhhhh...ancient Chinese secret

 

[83Hawk]

Liberals and the politically correct crowd.

Liberals and the politically correct crowd.

That's one way of putting it… Another way would simply be "lesbians".

 

[OUTofTOWNHAWK]

Thought it was hipsters dressing like real men. Boots, beards and flannel.

 

[Rosebowler]

Deace's way of blaming the liberals for everything.

 

[Sooby]

I thought it the Canadians, with their round bacon, mounties and igloos.

 

[ArvadaHawk]

LOL! It seems to mean so much, yet nothing at all. Thanks for the input.

So Deace came of age and went through college in the nineties? He has an image of liberals that involves flannel shirts?

Steve Deace's number one rule: Anything that can be said in 50 words should really be said in one thousand words. Wow, does he love to talk. Unbelievable

Except at the dinner table. He just grunts and points.

I'm pretty involved with news, issues and politics and I have never heard the phrase "flannel shirt brigade."

 

[MrEHawk]

It's a pejorative euphemism that refers generally to lesbians, or more specifically to liberally inclined females holding politically prominent positions. It's a sexist and homophobic term, the kind of thing that Gary Barta probably sends out on internal department e-mails.

That's because you don't listen to Deace, don't have a caveman mindset, and aren't permanently stuck in 1992.

They'll be out with pitchforks and torches if you call them that. They don't like descent ! Everyone must agree with their agenda or those who don't are labeled, name called, branded, harassed and hounded.

FYI--I have a Duluth Trading Flannel-Jac. Highly recommend.

Decent what?

 

[NCHawker]

descent

 

[1hawkeye1]

That phrase cracked me up and I've used it since then in conversation.
BTW this thread is doomed for lock/deletion.

 

[LG210]

descent

De-scent. They don't like not stinking.
