When Cracker Barrel Thinks You Suck
Okay, I want you guys to meet Georgia State Senator Michael Williams.
He’s running for Governor of Georgia and he has an announcement he wants you to hear …

He’s a Republican, which means he cannot spell. There are misspelled word all over his bus. You can hate and you can spell. In Georgia, it’s just one or the other.
So, here’s the best part: Williams was parking his bus all over Georgia in the parking lots of Cracker Barrels eateries.
But, apparently they are not that Cracker.
They told him to leave. Specifically, they said:
“We are not sponsoring this event or supporting Mr. Williams’ campaign stops in any way, and per our company policy, we will not allow him—or any political candidate—to host an event on Cracker Barrel’s property,” they said. “We take pride in showing our communities and our country that the hospitality we practice is indeed welcoming and inclusive to all.”
By gawd, what has this world come to if you can’t be a racist on Cracker Barrel’s parking lot in Georgia?
I honestly looked for the most commonly misspelled words. But I swear he spelled his name, Michael Williams, the same every time I noticed it. Michael and Williams are big words with lots of letters, not all of them straight. So to speak.
1Et tu, cracker barrel?
Maybe he thought Cracker Barrel was full of Crackers?
2He lost – badly lost – Williams came in last place in the May 22nd Primary, scraping in just 4.8% of the vote.
3Well, I almost did not expect such grown up-ness from Cracker Barrel. I like the place itself and there are at least 2 rather near me. If you stick with the breakfast menu you are better off. But Lordy! Be careful of their retail shop! I love it! I am a sucker for just about everything in it!
4Correct me if i’m wrong, but AFAIK, no Governor, even from a state as benighted as Georgia, has the authority to deport people.
I guess he could round a bunch of brown skinned people up and deliver them to ICE. If a US citizen got swept up in this cockamamie racist scheme, the ensuing lawsuit could be epic. Even better, I’d like to see this piece of animated excrement charged with kidnapping.
Instead of Deportation Bus, that vehicle aught to be called the Cracker Box.
5Up here in the northern tundra Cracker Barrels are mostly nonexistent, though I’ve seen a couple. I have no other point to this comment. Well, I just bought a new car. Not brand new, new to me. 6 year old Ford Focus hatchback, burgundy. That wasn’t my point either. Nevermind.
6This amuses me. There are six Cracker Barrels in Maryland and three in northern Virginia, but none in Prince Georges County. I guess they figured our being majority-minority (albeit the wealthiest such county in the US) might make our population a little less than a perfect fit for the usual Cracker Barrel demographic. And even with that, this yahoo cracker was told to move along from their parking lots.
7So can any of us load up people on a bus now? I mean, if I want to set up an Undisclosed Bus dot com, and fill it with Republicans who have been known to prefer undisclosed locations, soundproof booths in their offices, and unreported flights on private planes to government meetings on the taxpayers dime, come on in! I’ve got a bus that will take you to a place where none of that pesky public will bother you. All inclusive!
8He’s taken a bright yellow school bus, painted it a tasteful taupe, and pretended to have the power to deport minorities. You are correct, Lunargent, governors do not have that power.
9Of course it is not actually a “Deportation Bus”. It is hate mongering, bate the base and stir up hatred for immigrants bus.
Wouldn’t it be a crying shame if that vehicle should suffer 4 blown tires and an engine fire?
@Maryelle:
I would not shed one crocodile tear. I’m sure there would be someone out there to “help” those tires along…You can’t stir the merde without having to eventually eat it….I hope Momma doesn’t know any French curse words.
10Papa as an aside, I was a penalty time keeper for a hockey team once upon a time. Lots of French-canadians. I learned a lot of French words mama would not approve of,.
11If Cracker Barrel asked him to move along, there are probably plenty of other venues for him to hawk his snake oil; WalMart, Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fil-A come to mind. I might have to change my opinion of Cracker Barrel, and elevate it to the level of Bob Evans.
