All hail the dictadorship of a communist and socialist! He will destroy the country. All of you are kool-aid drinkers. My god, the guy couldn’t even get an FBI clearance because ofhis past associations, yet he’s president!
Illiterate Dicksuck…nohomophobia.
Kool aid drinkers, hahahahhaha. At least that’s more creative than
the watermelon and fried chicken cracks.
We called the dog ‘Indiana’…
You FAIL. Epicily. Go jump off a bridge. Relieve us of your stupidity.
Freedom of Speech does NOT cover libel and slander. You can be sued for them. If Freedom of Speech covered them, you couldn’t win a lawsuit for them.
He’s a communist AND a socialist? And here I thought they were two vastly different forms of government! I bet he’s also a fascist AND an anarchist too! And an athiest christian-fundamentalist to boot!
There is so much win in this statement.
It made my day, really.
WIN.

OMG these political LOLs are AWESOME TODAY!!!!
I love this world!
i know right?
After it came down to Virginia, who didn’t see it coming for sure? Well, let’s see how this goes!
After it came down to Virginia, we saw 98% of black people there vote for Obama. — How inspirational — But it’s a good thing 98% of white people didn’t vote for McCain or else they would’ve been called racist
Please stop assuming none of the black people voting for him were informed about issues. There ARE educated and thoughtful black people who quite likely selected him for his policies and not only on race.
Name one good thing Barack Obama did as a legislator.
He helped pass legislation to keep lead tainted toys out of America.
Ethics Reform: Obama was the Senate’s point person on ethics reform, and sponsored or co-sponsored the bills that made up what the Washington Post called “the strongest ethics legislation to emerge from Congress yet.”
The Lugar-Obama initiative to strengthen the Nunn-Luger framework for securing loose nukes, and to extend it to securing and destroying stockpiles of conventional arms.
According the Library of Congress he has authored 55 bills, and co-sponsored 97 others
QUIT BACKING UP YOUR SILLY OPINION WITH FACTS!!! You’re going to make a talking-points-Republican’s head explode.
That’s fine. I’m actually glad to see a legitimate response (regardless of whether
or not you had to do a websearch for the information).
My concern here is that 90% of the people that voted for him (McCain as well)can’t
do what you just did. As a matter of fact most journalists can’t even do that
when put on the spot. A large majority of his supporters have no idea what he
has done in the senate. You’re not going to tell me that the majority of
registered voters are actually informed enough to be casting a vote and that
they’re not more likely to vote down a party line or the way their peers do.
This goes for both of the major parties. I’m not some republican trying to start
a flame war (I am not registered in a party and hate republicans and democrats
equally). I am just trying to see if anyone on here actually knows what they’re
talking about.
And uhh… you think that McCain’s voters *did* do the research on McCain? What country do you think you live in that you think only Democratic voters are uninformed?
Reading comprehension, do you have it? Apparently not, otherwise you would not have missed where he said “My concern here is that 90% of the people that voted for him (MCCAIN AS WELL)…” (capslock is my own).
I belong to the Hylian Party.
Zelda-Link 2012!
Can I get a sign for my lawn with that on it?
i fail to see where he’s assuming that “none of the black people voting for him were informed about issues”
im sure several of them were. thats the thing about elections, you vote for who you like the most. but several people did vote for obama purely because of the color of his skin. MLK Jr would have been so proud.
‘Several of them’, how very good of you. We all sho’ nuff ‘preesheeate it.
Watermelon good. Num Yummy
Go drink your “red” Kool-Aid. I’ll be over here drinking my “Cherry” Kool-Aid. (That’s a black joke, NOT a cultist joke.)
I like pineapple soda, too – so there :>
So wait, there’s no problem with saying that white people who voted for McCain voted against Obama because he’s black, even though there are a good number of people (optimistically the majority of people) who voted based on something other than skin tone (like, thinking McCain would be better because he’s a war hero/older/more experienced/not borderline socialist).
Yet it’s racist to say that there were likely some people out there who voted for Obama BECAUSE he’s black, and using logic to deduce that it is likely minority voters who most likely felt that because of his skin tone he knew the struggles they face and would be a better choice to help improve their lives than the same old white man that’s been the face of the presidency for the past 200+ years?
Yeah, too bad that Obama is related to nearly all those big bad white men. Let’s face it, nothing changes. We just get a new face on the same policies. Every president for the last 100 years plus has sucked, and inevitably drawn this country into the hellhole in which it currently sits.
McCain was too afraid of being called a racist otherwise he would have called Obama out on more issues. What’s funny is that it was mainly white people making the false accusations of racism.
As a white girl, I know that you do have to be careful when it comes to ‘appearing’ to be racist. In today’s culture it has become a fashion to use it as an excuse to get what you want. I see this same thing for me and other women…if you don’t like something or someone, all you have to do is claim sexual harassment/assault and viola – even though it may not go through, it still forever ruins a name.
Really? He was afraid to be called racist, so he and his just insinuated that Obama was a Muslim, a terrorist, and a communist? What, pray tell, could he have called Obama out about that could have made him look MORE racist?
So you’re holding McCain responsible for comments made by other people? If you’re going to use that logic then Obama is a terrorist for his ties with Bill Aires. And yes he is tied to him because Bill Aires threw a party for Obama the night he announced that he was going to run. The only person who I can think of off the of my head that made the accusation of communism was the journalist Barbara West when she interviewed Joe Biden. And if you want to point fingers at the people who accused Obama of never converting to Christianity then point them at Hillary Clinton because her campaign was the one to really get that started. There was a lot more that McCain could have said, but he was too much of a pushover which was one of the numerous reasons that he was just as unqualified to be president as Obama.
I’ve never cried over a presidential election.
I’m proud to say I did tonite.
This is amazing, I’m proud
I agree. This is a great moment for this country.
I second (no, wait, third) that comment!
I 4th it!
Al-Qaida agrees with you too!! Some even washed their dirty nightshirts so they would look good dancing in the streets on tv. Then they went back to plotting against us knowing they have a friends in high places. You’re all ignorant.
Sauce, please.
Pot calling kettle black?
I guess they just had to take a break from endorsing John McCain to hold their parties.
Get a clue.
thank you for that. what are people who voted for obama gonna think when we get “attacked” again? it’s all GWB’s fault….. yea right. now they have an excuse to “attack” because they know we won’t fight back. it’s all a cycle. america is going down in history just like every other civilization has in the past 5000. the average age of the worlds greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
I did too.
)
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And we are all screwed.
(BTW: MLK was a Republican.)
Back in the day when the parties roles were still sort of reversed.
kind of…. Well………By then the Democrats had kind of switched to where they are today (FDR, Truman,JFK, and LBJ all were Democrats who supported civil rights (like Democrats do today), Republicans wanted to stick with old values)
……
Okay, might sound a bit prejudiced, but it isn’t!
…….
………..
………….
Ah well.
We’ve been taking it the rear for 8 years. Things just got better. BTW, almost everyone who new him disputes that claim as false, being based on assumptions, and that he did not really identify with any particular party.
The election is over, you can stop with the propaganda now.
you do realize that no matter who won, bush is still leaving so things would get better anyways, right?
this is one of those rare elections that no matter who you choose, your gonna have better than what you got, so be happy.
Guess you are a fan of two wars, a bad economy, the PATRIOT ACT and other human rights travesties, disproportional tax cuts for the rich, and decreased status on the world stage. Oh and torture.
Aw come on, who doesn’t love torture? Oh wait, the victims, right.
1.) You’re a moron.
2.) MLK Jr. was a Republican back before the “Southern Strategy” and the out-right racism the modern Republican party is known for. His father changed parties when Kennedy won and as for MLK? He was a pro-union, anti-poverty, LEFTIST pacifist.
3.) You’re still a moron.
So was Walt Kelly. He repudiated the whole Commie- and anti-immigration crap that swept the early ’50′s. It’s not about Republican, it’s about neocon & the godawful Reagan crap people swallowed in the ’80′s – and STILL believe. If being able to see past ‘my team! my team!’ politics means being screwed, then yes, we is.
Excellent.
And thus you make the comment that I find most ignorant in all the time of knowing you… -_-
Mr. Bradley can kiss Barack Obama’s black ass!
All our news channels here say here he has won. Is it true?? Is it true??
Yes, indeed! McCain is conceding at this very moment!!!!!!
THIS is the picture you choose to put up tonight?
I am proud to witness this historic occasion.
(And giggling about MLK saying “Sweet”)
You know… I hate to sound like a troll… but…..
HOW ABOUT THEM POLLS EP!?
But seriously, I look forward to 4 years of you guys lampooning Obama during his antics in the white house, and I look forward to defending him. And hopefully, come 2012, we’ll have an election year that will provide us with a tough election.
Here’s to hopefully a prosperous 4 years, and many many many more talks of commies, nazis, DWN’s wang, ethics violations, moral discussions, religious debate, shutting down random trolls, and of course, the community and fellowship that we all love and adore here…..
…. In bed.
Oh hey guys… DOUGHTNUTS ON ME!!!!
Oh, and guys…. DOUGHTNUTS ON ME!
And double posts… *sigh* Fail on The Failcop.
At least you’re unbiased.
In bed? But we will be dead…
Cheers! *clink*
My wang will be there and sorry for being absent yesterday. Had to go home with a migraine and rest. Fun stuff.
Awh. I hope your wang is feeling better.
Err. And you too!
My wang is much better today and so am I. Thank you for your concern.
McClatchy called him Barack Hussein Obama in their sum up. Linked.
That IS his name.
But how often do you go around saying everyone’s full name when you talk about them? When has anyone ever driven home a candidates middle name moreso than this year? People know his middle name, and are smart enough to know that
it means little a phonetic compilation of letters. Thats all.
Generally when they achieve something great, such as being elected President. I do agree its meaningless and overstated, but I don’t think it means anything that newspaper mentioned his middle name.
Does the paper refer to him defeating John Sydney McCain III?
McCain, as the loser, doesn’t get the fanfare.
I would agree with this if it weren’t for the continued negative slant put on this throughout the campaign season. If it was to acknowledge greatness, they would have been sensitive to this fact and left it out. I doubt it would have said John Sidney McCain. The only reason they did the W for bush was to differentiate him from Dad.
That ‘negative slant’ you are concerned with is only negative to those who are still so ignorant as to believe that an overtly ‘un-American’ name like Hussein somehow MAKES him ‘un-American’.
THANK you!!!!!!
I don’t believe it’s so, I am saying that’s the way it was used in the campaign. If you read the posts around here, you’d see I’m known to be a liberal. I don’t care what his middle name is, I voted for him. What I think doesn’t mean that right wingers weren’t able to market this “un-American” sounding name negatively to those who are easily influenced by such things. You should have seen how many of the right-wingers here were flinging it about a couple of months ago, using it as a slur. Just because it’s a stupid argument, doesn’t mean it didn’t work on some people. Continuing to use it just reminds those about their fears. There is no need for it. It was used gratuitously and with questionable intent.
Like I said. I’m pretty sure they aren’t throwing “John Sidney McCain” about! That alone validates my argument. Otherwise, why a double standard?
Let ‘em say it! It helps drive home the fact that EVERYONE born in the US has the potential to be president: Barack Hussein Obama, Krishnamurti Goldberg, Juan Geronimo Meissinger, et al. The only people offended by it are the ones who willfully – against all sense – still insist that BHO is somehow a terrorist. I really love the ones who scream ‘He’s an Arab! He’s a Muslim!” So what if he’s er? Arabs & Muslims are perfectly capable of being decent family men & concerned for the country’s welfare.
(Note to all prsers: I am well aware that Obama is neither Arab nor Muslim)
So why use that middle name> It does little to emphasize your point, and in fact, detracts from what you purport to be saying.
What’s wrong with the middle name??? That’s what I’M trying to figure out. The woman I work for keeps saying, ‘It’s such an ARAB name.’ I point out to her that HER name is such an ISRAELI name; mine is so IRISH; and BHO is an AMERICAN CITIZEN born of a NIGERIAN father. So, really – WTF???
His middle name is irrelevant to who he is. Because it has bad connotations and plays to stereotypes about Muslims and negative associations, like Saddam Hussein, etc., the McCain campaign tried to use it as a negative free association. It was used often as a way to cast doubt on his character. Surely you haven’t been under a rock this whole time, have you? There’s no need to use that name unless you are trying to propagate the stereotype.
I’m not saying it’s correct logic; it shouldn’t be. But it is the context most people have for it. You appear to be propagating the negativity. Whether or not you do it ignorantly or purposefully has yet to be thoroughly demonstrated. I find it highly unlikely you were unaware of the connotation.
I’m still floundering here – it’s the U.S.A., correct? Melting pot and all that? The guy next door – born here! – is just as likely to be named Juan, Hussein, Krishnamurti, or Fred, right? WHY should I bow to the lowest common denominator and stop saying ‘Hussein’? WHY shouldn’t I re-educate them? In fact, it is entirely insensitive to refuse to acknowledge Barak Hussein Obama’s ethnicity & heritage. I do not condone the negativity that has been attributed to the man or the name, but I do live in a very! diverse area – West Philadelphia – where my neighbors have more names like Hussein, Sanjay, & Viet than like Fred, Bob & Chip, so I may be far more resistant to such ideas.
My point is, why is this news organization using Obama’s middle name, but not McCain’s if they don’t have some strange agenda to freak out the crazies some more. There’s no need to use either candidate’s middle name. I’M not offended by it. I think that anyone CAN be president. Sheesh.
That’s PRESIDENT Barack Hussain Obama to you.
Dreams do come true
…in bed?
meep. >_>
There too, but also in other places…
I tend to make with the dreaming and fulfillment thereof in that special place.
Now I don’t have to move to Canada.
lol… I had the same plan ^_^ Didn’t want any part of a country that elected McBush. That, or the trusty jump-off-a-damned-bridge back up plan…
And now I can move to the US xD
lol… come on in, the water’s great!!! ^_^
45 years, two months, and one week. Could have been worse.
Unrelated, but the sconce behind him looks like it was painted into the background. His expression and the caption is totally priceless.
This is by far one of the most monumental positive things I could have ever experienced as an American. Hurray!!!!
I am once again proud to be an American… thank you, Barack, for the pride and hope you bring to every one of our hearts!
Amen
FREE AT LAST!!!!
Actually MLK may have issues with the name considering that Obama did not change his name when he converted to Christianity. As a matter of fact that was one of the key arguments concerning the issue that he may not have been so truthful about his religious beliefs.
(This is not to say that I myself think he is a Muslim, nor would I care really, but it is some food for thought)
Why must a person change their name when converting, and since when did Obama ‘convert’? I could have sworn he was always a Christian.
WHY THE HELL SHOULD THIS EVEN MATTER?!?!?!??!?!?!?
why should it be covered up? most normal people will gladly explain what religious beliefs they have when asked.
Just like Obama’s done. Sadly, he didn’t say “I’m big on the atheist satanist muslim baby eating cult right now” so he can’t have been telling the truth, that dastardly trickster.
I was not looking to snork my coffee up mah nose quite so early; thank you.
Many thanks.
I tried doing some research and he never technically converted he just joined a church (that was all the information that I could get from websites that weren’t swayed one way or the other). That might explain why he never changed his name because many churches (especially Catholic churches) would require you to pick a Christian name upon your Baptism. This is making people on both sides of the spectrum needlessly insane. Hell, even some terrorist groups are interpreting this as meaning that he is secretly Muslim (the internet is both a wonderful and a terrible thing). Anyway, his biological and step fathers were both Muslim and he received his introduction to Islam through them. There wasn’t any age listings, so I’m assuming he joined a church when his grandmother became his legal guardian. I would suggest doing some research for yourself, but just be careful because there are some websites that are complete propaganda machines and will add and subtract information (an example would be saying that he attended a Madrassa, but neglecting to mention that he also attended Catholic school).
He never converted and was never a muslim. Liked to Snopes.
Politics, shmolitics. This Lol made me laugh!
Dig it, same here. Come on folks, lighten up, we’ve achieved something historic here.
I am just glad the US didn’t end up with the old man (who looks like he already has one foot in the grave..) and Sarah Palin, aka… The Whor of Babylon…
I intentionally missed the e because it never lets me say the full the word.
and yes I am aware that it is actually a city, but it’s hard not to think of Sarah Palin in that way…
IT’s good to see that your reasoning for disliking McCain/Palin is so legitimate. If anyone were to make that kind of evaluation of Obama on here, they would get fried
Thanks for showing why they call some people libtards…. -_-
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you voted for Barack because you believed in his campaign’s stance on issues and its message of change (and not just because he is black), then goodonya! That’s what it’s all about.
I voted for Mr. Obama based on what I thought about his policies, his outlook on the future of the country, his sense of “ease” when dealing with the public and the press.
I also felt, for the first time since I have been of voting age, that this candidate had something to say and the ability to do so. The man can deliver a speech, which really does make a difference.
In the end, I felt that his plan sounded good for America. We will see if anything changes, but he will be taking over after what could be one of the worst eras in US politics. The government is divided as much as ever, the economy is probably worse than it has ever been (save for the great depression) and we are in one of the longest, bloodiest wars that this country has seen in a while.
He has a lot on his plate, and we do as a country. I hope we move forward from here and start to bring the USA back into the place it once was as a respected member of the world.
I just wish people were more informed about what he stood for instead of saying “he stands for change!” Regardless of one’s political affiliation I just want people to be more aware of what is going on. When I ask a question I just want an intelligent answer rather than catch phrases or insults. I wouldn’t care what the answer was as long as it was legitimate. With that being said I second your praise.
This is funny, but I cannot fathom such a gentleman using such language.
Just as long as this election isn’t someday remembered on FailBlog.
I only didn’t vote for Obama because I want to keep my job training corporate employees. Business taxes go up, that’s the first thing they cut.
OMG EPIC WIN!!!!!!!!!oneone
Never mind that Martin Luther King Jr was (most likely) a Republican…
i liek pie
His father was definitely Kenyan, and I dunno if he had any Nigerian ancestors too. Did you see the articles about the celebrations in Kenya?
Lots of Christians are Arab themselves. In the Middle East, many Arab Christians were born in families that have been Christian and called God “Allah” since before Mohammed. Islam doesn’t have first dibs on Arabic-language names!
I mentioned the Copts somewhere… Neil Douglas-Klotz covers it well in his recasting of the Greek NT into Aramaic… well worth digging out…
lol. he was a republican.
Yeah. Gotta love the one time anything happened that King would be proud of. Cuz, pretty much since integration? The black community’s been spitting in the face of what he worked and died to achieve.
