LISTEN RUSH, I haven’t forgotten what you said about Chelsea. Say any crap about my daughters and it will take a team of doctors to pry my foot out of your lying, cowardly, bloated Oxycontin loving ass.

Wait — is this a demotivator?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph! I’ve seen Ru-Paul looking better than her in that shot
(and for the record, in this case I mean the black drag queen, not my insult in ordinary for Dr Ron Paul, Libertarian and Theocrat.
Not a flattering angle. She probably won’t want to use this one on her MySpace page.
Her bone structure is a bit unusual. Very strong. I’ve seen good angles of her when her chin is pointed down and/or the camera is a bit higher.
Seeing as the camera is practically right under her nose, I’m going to blame the angle (and the cameraman) for the dragaliciousness.
/amateur photographer
” I think she’s FABULOUS!!!! in a dykey kinda way. You Go Girl!
Her bone structure is ape-like.
…”How do you feel about Cleveland?”…
What’s Cleveland got to do with this?
It’s joke from TOOTSIE.
I know, before you were born…
Hmm, I thought that was Ru-Paul – oops
Ru Paul was never as mean as this woman. He has more style and class to.
What makes you think she’s mean or classless? Please site your sources.
So you know for future reference, scum:
You will catch “sight” of a source you want to “cite” from a “site.”
Unless you’re meaning “site” as a verb, which means “to place or locate something [at a site].”
Not being a grammar-Nazi, but it’s likely others would be, and likely be snooty about it.
Just a heads-up
Yes, thank you. My editor stepped out for a smoke and I figured there was no harm in posting it without his approval.
It was a simple overcite on my part. Chalk it up to being tired.
(Oversite, no, wait, overseit. Overpsyte?)
I can’t leave you alone for a minute, can I?
Well put out that cigarette and come back inside. We have some posting to do.
Longest. Smoke break. Ever.
Sorry. While outside smoking, I was kidnapped by a band of ruffians and held captive in the old amusement park.
You’ve got a laptop.
Why don’t you come out here?
Dammit! I mean, uh..
You’ve got a laptop.
Why don’t you come out here?
Hey, how many editors does he have???
Hey! Break’s over. All editing staff BACK inside before I fire you all!
Listen, all you f*ck heads, f*ckin’ do what
the f*ckin’ publisher just f*ckin’ said, or I’ll
f*ckin’ send some f*cker over there to
f*ckin’ hand you your f*ckin’ ass!
Wo, I go for another cup of coffee and all hell breaks loose.
Mr. Chief of Staff (aka Rob Blagojevich apparently), did you tell my editor that I have a laptop and a wireless connection? ’cause, that’s just kind of creepy that s/he knew that…
Ok, if everyone just works together, we can get through the rest of these posts and still have time to hit the surf. Then, it’s shave ice for everyone!
You named the wrong f*ckin’ guy there. I am
from f*ckin’ Illinois, so you f*ckin’ got it half
f*ckin’ right…
F*ck, here’s a f*ckin’ hint:
Chief of F*ckin’ Staff…
Damn. Hide the steaknives and fish heads…….
At least he’s got better hair than Blago.
the word is c*nting, not f*cking
Nah, you look nothing like Rahm.
Sorry Blaggo, I know it’s you. I’ve got you on tape.
I don’t f*ckin’ care about any f*ckin’ tape.
Just f*ckin’ leave me alone so I can f*ckin’
serve the people of f*ckin’ Illinois…
Oversight.
Very funny, I forgot to laugh
She’s a human being. Why does she have to look perfect at all times?
Yes. The rest of us do. Why shouldn’t she?
You go girl!!!!!!
Talk about all over it like ugly on an ape!
pffft… she’d probably break one of her 4 inch long lee press-on-nails if she did anything besides being a diva
OK, that amused me…
How snarky.
Actually, she has working woman hands.
I saw the pic.lol
Uh–diva?
She’s an attorney and she’s raised two apparently bright and happy little kids. What’s Cindy McCain done (besides inherit a fortune, and steal drugs from her own charity)? (I’m assuming you’re a right-winger, since I can’t imagine any motivation for your baseless snark other than reflexive ideological hatred.)
Continue to make that fortune that she inherited keep working, spent 30 years on various charitable expeditions giving a better life to deprived children worldwide, and not just the four bright and happy kids she raised. Businesswoman, charity worker and mother extraordinaire.
I like Cindy a lot, but I have nothing against Michelle, in fact I find her quite inspirational. Both women are amazing and have achieved a great deal, and to dislike them based on their husbands political ideals is both mindless and pointless.
i imagine you’re a zombiecrat based on your almost word-for-word mindless repeating of her public relations bio. good job on drinking the kool-aid.
Is it time for the shift change at Burger King already?
He’s probably on break. 15 year olds can only work 3 hours or so at a time…
Obama haters seem to have this fixation on kool aid…
As do Bush haters. Be fair, now.
Don’t Hate
who is rush?
Rush Limbaugh talk show host.
“On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, “Did you know there’s a White House dog?” Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone.”
- http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/columns/1995/05/ivins.html
Rush is also the greatest band ever.
This is funny to me…although a better pic would have her reading a book to her kids and saying “The Evil Rush made fun of other little girls, and so we brought the Fairness Doctrine back, because dissent…er, making fun of little girls shouldn’t be tolerated.
Same old idiotic talking points regardless of the truth. Obama has explicitly come out against the Fairness Doctrine, but comedians like Limbaugh keep on saying he’s for it because they’re too blind and stupid to come up with anything true.
Jackass.
Which makes the assumption that Obama will keep his campaign promises. So far, he’s been a little spotty there. Every bill will sit on his desk for 5 days? Didn’t do. Most honest administration, get rid of corruption? In 2 weeks he’s appointed more corrupt people than any other administration. However, to be honest, Rush has said that Democrats want to bring about the Fairness Doctrine, not Obama specifically, and it’s Pelosi that keeps talking about the Fairness Doctrine.
The Fairness Doctrine was a damn good idea. The airwaves are public property, and should be administered like any other taxpayer-funded venture: neutrally.
In Britain the BBC is taxpayer funded and therefore required to be politically neutral… and consequently is the best news organization in the world.
I don’t know where you people got the idea that government funded=neutral, but it’s absolutely absurd. The first thing dictators do when they take over is to control the press and decide what’s “fair” to be on the air, and to prevent “lies” from being told about them. The result being no one has a freakin’ clue what’s going on until it’s too late. Of course there’s also the free speech argument. If you don’t like what someone is saying on the radio or TV, you can turn it off.
I agree… it’s because of the lack of neutrality that assholes like Limbaugh get filthy rich on their insipid, barely researched bull.
No, it’s because Limbaugh has a huge audience and advertisers see the ability to make money off him. If people didn’t listen to him (for whatever reason), then his advertising dollars would go away and he would be off the air. It’s like having South Park on Comedy Central, and all the people who were protesting that. They were told that if they didn’t like it, turn it off. The same goes for Limbaugh. If you don’t like him, you’re not being forced to listen to him. If you think there should be another voice in talk radio, go get a job at a radio station and work your way to the top, just like Limbaugh did.
You go, froo! Nailed it in one.
It’s a capitalist democracy filled with money-driven freedom of choice, after all.
She is an ugly ass nappy-headed ho, who just happens to be married to the HNIC. If we get lucky only about 3 more years of seeing this fugly mug!
What did he say about Chelsea?
I seem to recall him calling her “the White House dog.”
I remember that too. That was cruel. She was only, what, thirteen when she first entered the White House? That’s an incredibly awkward age.
Now I’m curious about what Rush Limbaugh looked like when he was 13. Something tells me I REALLY don’t wanna know.
I bet Chelsea Clinton knows… That is terrible. To a 13 year old girl (who probably already has horrendous self esteem issues) a dog. And I thought it was only classmates that could be so cruel…
*to call
I remember the National Enquirer always dogging Chelsea, too. They even did a digitally aged picture of her to prove one day she would be “nicer to look at”. Jerks. Chelsea is much more beautiful today than the sad picture they came up with.
Well, they were right: Chelsea Clinton does look better now than she did some years ago when her father was in the office.
This woman looks like she will personally kill everyone who dares to come close to her kids…
And she does look an awful lot like her mother (is that good or bad?)
http://blafusel.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/hillary-and-chelsea-clinton.jpg
Better than if she looked like her father
*vomits and faints*
Actually, it’s said here in Poland that girls that look like their fathers have a better chance of getting married
Tho I doubt it. I look a lot like my dad… and I’m single and fugly.
I think despite the fact that she has two fairly unattractive parents, the genes combine nicely. She seems to have her mother’s bone structure, but Bill’s round-faced-ness that makes her look much more feminine than Hillary ever has. Take a look at the link to see what I mean. She kinda has that Angry Librarian thing going.
“that makes her look much more feminine than Hillary ever has.”
Hillary was good looking when she was young.

Eh…the first picture she looks good…not the other one.
When I first saw Chelse I though she looked alot like veruca salt from the willy wonka and the chocolate factory.
Hey, that’s a quality you want in a mother, y/y? ;^)
As well she should.
I am not a mother, nor do I intend to be, but if someone made a comment like THAT about my 13-year-old child I’d have to murder them.
I’m surprised this has such a low rating; apparently there are a lot of pro-Limbaugh (read: braindead) people on this site…?
A lot of people on both sides made disparaging comments about Chelsea then. I think it’s ‘cuz she was possibly the most unattractive child to grace the White House in recent memory.
At least no one caller her a drunken whore, though.
You’re forgetting about how mean some people
were to Amy Carter.
Before my time. But I believe it. Once upon a time we left the children alone. I’d imagine the Obama girls will be fairly safe from that for the time being, seeing as how they’re so young. There’s just not anything to make fun of.
I hope so. It’s certainly going to be a strange
world for them. Secret Service escorts, less
time with Mom and Dad, grown-up occasions
to attend, photographs taken everywhere
they go, etc.
The least the press could do is cut them a
little slack, and let them grow up as normally
as anyone in a fish bowl can.
It’s never cut slack for royalty here…
Which is odd, considering they directly contributed to the death of a princess.
That was the Sauds… otherwise, if it’s the
bony idiot Sloane you’re referring to,then that
was a case of ‘not too special to wear a seat
belt.’
Yeah, that certainly would have solved the problem. Doesn’t change the fact that if the paparazzi hadn’t been chasing her, it wouldn’t have happened. I have a special kind of loathing for the paparazzi, probably because that happened when I was still pretty young.
Getting in the car with a drunken driver probably didn’t help either…
Not at all, and it’s fairly rude for you to make such a sweeping judgment.
It got a poor rating because it’s an unfunny, poorly executed example of the SSDD we’ve been seeing here for quite some time. We’re simply looking for some witty, fresh material not exclusively centered around Obama=win and Bush=fail. This ain’t it.
I for one, feel that no matter where you are on the political spectrum the aforementioned formula has been done to death.
Yeah that’s about the best synopsis so far. I do fear that some are just not going to be sick of it for a long time, but one can hope – because it has, as you say, been done to death.
He didn’t make the comment. And on what basis do you call someone who might enjoy listening to Rush Limbaugh sometimes “brain dead”? That is ridiculous.
Did. I saw it with my own eyes. My work hours had changed and it was the first time I’d ever seen his television show. He started by saying “You know there is a new White House cat, Socks.” I had listened to the radio show before that; as a mother, I never listened to him on tv or radio again.
“…but if someone made a comment like THAT about my 13-year-old child I’d have to murder them.”
Now, THERE’S braindead: a (presumed) liberal threatening to take someone’s life over a comment.
A comment that was never even made.
Scroll up, and read Canaduck’s post.
I guess hyperbole means nothing to (presumed, lol) conservatives.
You don’t have to be a liberal to make a comment like that.
You have to be a mother.
And you obviously are not one.
And why shouldn’t she look like she would kill anyone who came near her kids? Can you imagine trying to raise kids normally when surrounded by all the media asshats every day? I would feel the same way (and be giving the same look) lol!
Not to mention sharp as a tack.
Tha’s just her pointy head.
your shift finished early… they caught you flashing customers again?
Nah- dipping my pecker into the french fries again…
They’d over filled the fries tray if you could dip that little thing in…
That’s funny. I’ve heard of Spotted Dick [link]
but I hadn’t heard of Deep-fried Dick before.
Maybe he was trying to get his buddy out…
Oops, did I post the wrong link?
I must have meant this one [link]. Didn’t I?
I liked the feeling chart better.
OMG; I sure hope those things in the picture were raisins.
Just had to satisfy that craving for fried sausage, eh?
So what’s it like to eat your own?
“fried sausage, eh?
So what’s it like to eat your own?”
`
I’m just guessing here, but I think any guy limber enough to do that would never leave the house.
And… I’m glad I am not that easy to gross out.
*link*
Wow. I’m torn between “Damn, that looks bad for you” and thinking the suggestion to put a slice of it in a biscuit sounds awesome.
*clicks link*
*heart spontaneously explodes*
*dies*
Now that is some serious meat.
Sorry, I was speaking of the link, not AF’s french fried appendage.
@literal: Maybe if you made it with turkey sausage…nah, I guess it’s not going to help that much.
Needs Velveeta.
Don’t forget dessert!
Secret sauce fail.
On-the-job injury. Same one, too.
Despite his several previous injuries, AF can’t seem
to resist the Siren’s call of the deep fryer…
I’m confused. I thought it was the deep-fryer they used for the apple pies that he was so attracted to?
Of course he likes those best, but the curly
fries will do in a pinch.
Hey Rhorho- there’s someone waiting to place an order there at the drive thru at Dairy Queen! Back to work!
Oh crap! I hope he doesn’t want a banana
split!! I can’t ever remember the order of
the toppings…
LOL
DOES anyone remember the hack job they did on Amy Carter? I do.
(Fossil from the ’70s)
This sort of thing is public Child Abuse when it occurs!
This (my msg, 1-28 at 12:02 AM) was meant for Siava, Jan 27, 10:40 AM about Chelsea Clinton
& Amy Carter. OK I just saw yr post, Anniee451. In solidarity.
Rush should be indicted for humanity abuse. As well as Michael (Wiener?
Whiner?) Savage. Where have our community standards of decency
gone to?
No problem; I remember it well, as you do.
Rush was actually on the receiving end of a media hack job himself on this one, since he did not call Chelsea a dog. It IS possible someone on his staff screwed up the pictures on purpose, but he was quite pissed about the whole thing; he didn’t know it. He called her a cute kid.
R-i-i-i-i-g-h-t.
Except those of us who heard and saw it know that’s horse shit. It was a well-planned and executed gag and he smirked after he did it.
There *was no* White House dog at the time that Rush made the joke. (The “joke” was him saying “here’s the new White House dog,” and showing a picture of Chelsea, for those who don’t remember/were too young.) Since there, again, *was no White House dog*, what were his staffers supposedly *supposed* to be showing a picture of? (This was well before the “Hilary is mannish and ugly” meme had taken wing, so it most likely wasn’t that.)
If you’d read one comment further you’d have seen that I said that – fellow fossil.
However, Rush did not call Chelsea Clinton a dog; he in fact called her a “cute kid” and there was a slip-up, which is quite obvious from the transcript.
I saw it at the time.
Unfortunately the press decided to claim that he MEANT for the slipup to happen (which it’s quite clear he didn’t from the transcript and if you’d seen it) and ever since then it has just become “true” in people’s minds that he called her a dog. MSM misrepresentation has succeeded once again in creating a myth and making it “true” when it isn’t.
However, I do remember the press being quite nasty to Amy Carter. And the Bush girls (as well as rank-and-file leftists/Bush-bashers.) But Amy was younger. At the time, I actually disliked her quite a bit myself, but I was allowed to, being a girl myself.
Seriously? Rush is just as much of a shock jock as Don Imus, Mancow or any of the others. He is in the business of making people angry. So no, I don’t believe that he didn’t mean to do what he did. His ratings depend on being able to simultaneously piss of and elate a whole bunch of people. What better way to do this than to attack a young girl who is attached to someone as iconic as the president?
Steady… she’s a member of Menas and an economist of the Chicago-Austrian School (with choreography by Fosse and music by Kander and Ebb)
Wow…I missed this one. If Rush is really making you that angry, you probably need to take a deep breath, and not take yourself so seriously. Let’s face it, though, some people aren’t happy unless they’re pissed off, so maybe that’s the root of the issue.
People were just as nasty to Amy Carter and the Bush girls. It has pretty much been that families have not been off limits since Carter.
Oh, so true.
If someone does find a 13 Y/O Rush Limbaugh picture, I’m sure it’ll be on Failblog.
Ouch. What a jackass.
I think people have sort of forgotten what a motivational poster is supposed to be…this isn’t even close, and it most definately isn’t clever or funny.
It’s rare, very rare, to see the poster format used properly.
Is this close?
[LINK]
Seriously. I’m new to this, and am making an effort to create these in a reasonable, acceptable fashion.
My opinion only, but that’s pretty good.
How is the poster format to be used, specifically?
I understand the concept of demotivators, but am unawareif that’s how it is to be used here. Is it similar to elsewhere on the web?
it’s supposed to be a one liner of some kind with a description underneath it… yours is perfect… i’ve linked one of mine that i think is a good example of the type…
I saw that one a couple of days ago, and left you a comment. Literally!
Thanks for the explanation — that’s what I *thought* you were supposed to do with these.
haha. thanks literal… my short term memory is a little… um… hazy…
The one-liner in big type is ideally one or two words. Also, there’s an invisible colon between it and the small-type commentary.
Ronald Reagan had an invisible colon.
Of course, should anyone find that their colon is visible, I usggest in the strongest possible terms that they find their way to the nearest emergency room.
LOL, wow…that’s “suggest”. Not sure how I did that!
Oh, NOW you tell me. Thanks Diss.
I’ll set ‘em up, you knock ‘em down.
You dig ‘em up, I’ll knock ‘em up.
Ewww… reminds me of gorping.
If you’re weak of stomach, don’t look it up.
Where I come from ‘gorping’ means to look at something with a dull (gormless) expression…
If you want nastiness, look up the execution method called ‘The boats’
I don’t know, ‘gorping’ by the definition I’m thinking of is nasty all at once. The boats thing is nasty over time, and it seems much more natural.
Literal, you’ve never seen the real ones?
.
[Link] – scroll down on the linked page
Thanks, Scum.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen them and love them.
The posters taht are created here are just so different than those that I assumed there was a different standard for this site.
I aspire to Ashley Brilliant’s “Mistakes” wit.
[LINK]
Someone used several of his for posters last week, and they are copyrighted (naughty naughty!)
Yeah, I’m not sure there are any standards here.
I assume that it’s the original demotivators which are the basis of the poster builder here. I just wish more people here understood how they’re supposed to work.
-
I think the one you posted was both good and in the proper style.
The key to poster format is that the wording under the
all-caps line stands as its own sentence, and not contain
the word(s) above.
“doesn’t,” not “not”
more of a subject and follow up…
Well, I’d say:
Word / Phrase and the definition (or is that daffy-nition)
That idea has already been noted above. My
purpose was to add that the writing below
needs to be a stand-alone sentence. Of
course, it should relate to the subject word or
phrase, if that idea needs a second noting.
Sorry, Scum: Above comment was @ubr.
@rhorho
[Link]
@rhorho… i think we beat this one to death…
.
so everyone listen up…
.
if you don’t know how to make a poster lol.
.
don’t.
Thanks! This was really helpful.
I appreciate it a lot.

LOL–Have I been Bread Rolled???
@Scum
some motivators are little more than a slogan…
Arbeit macht Frei or Ignroance is Strength…
IGNORANCE! feh!
@rhorho
very little up here actually makes me laugh.
That…was…brilliant!
Thanks
@Fester
or
spealinng iz guudde
@Fester
And I prefer the demotivators anyway.
I find them far more motivating and interesting.
@rhorho
Not on purpose … what’s that?
I really don’t know
If I did, I’m sorry.
Urban Dictionary says “bread roll=rectum.”
Whaaaa?
No idea…and I probably am glad of it.
@ Literal: Click scum’s link to rhorho up the thread; her comment was a play on rick-rolling. And that’s what she was talking about.
@Literal
Do you know what being rick-rolled means?
If yes, then look at my post to rhorho which contains only a link.
(it’s under her post with the text: ‘Sorry, Scum: Above comment was @ubr’)
If you don’t know what rick rolled means, eh, look it up.
I haven’t a clue how it got started, but it’s out of the box now.
My daughter Mani-rolled me once. [link]
Cracked me up because I was not expecting it at all.
@All
Oh, I am so embarassed.
Bread (the band) roll. I get it now!
Sometimes I am too much like my name.
I thought rhorho was replying to my thank you, and assumed she took it as an insult. A**hole of the week goes to me.
Well, I am the center of the universe like that, and all.
When it stops nesting, it gets confusing.
This nesting led to a nice little comedy of
errors, didn’t it?
@Literal: I didn’t catch your “thank you”
earlier. You’re welcome, of course.
OK, far from ‘good’ but closer to the nature of ‘Motivators’
How about a slight modification?
MOTHERHOOD
Mr. Limbaugh would be well advised to think
twice about trashing this lady’s girls.
Ooh, I like it!
*hands over sparkly tiara to rhorho*
YAY!! Thank you!!
lol. nice one literal… way better than the one up here…
.
so, i’ve noticed a trend… for every picture that makes it to the front page there are at least 4 better captions in the wings… how come all the crappy ones make it to the front???
Thanks. I noted the same. It seems that lowest common denominator=frontpage placement.
Meh. Who am I to judge?
Isn’t Democracy ugly?
Vox populi is very seldom vox dei in my experience.
It’s also why Anarcho-Capiatlism models are flawed, in that they assume the ‘market’ (read buyers) will make the best possible choice. Thus, we had VHS over Beta, and reality television…
i just noticed something great… out of the last 5 lolz the only one to get more than 3 rating stars (lincoln heads) was the only one not about bush or obama… the touareg owns.
The Touareg is actually funny…
Many vote with a knee-jerk party affiliated “fail,” or one
Lincoln head, for any LOLs deemed to be against the political
affiliation they hold. Votes closer to five are more likely given
to LOLs that are non-partisan in nature (example: Touareg).
i think it has more to do with how sick i am of bush/obama lols… but oh well…
Hear, hear!
One person is smart. A mass of people is dumb – take the lowest IQ in a mob, divide it by the number of people in the mob, and you get the collective mobQ.
God help the mobs that have AF as a member… the property damage along must be immense.
Aah, good ole sir Pterry.
“The IQ of a mob is the IQ of its most stupid member divided by the number of mobsters.” is the exact quote from Maskerade, for those who give a rat’s arse.
*gives Danbala a rat’s arse*
Sorry about the condition. It’s left over from Christmas…
That must have been some party
Some creatures were stirring, alright!
I was wrong. The exact quote is slightly longer. (But I loled it instead to make it forgive me. Link, name.)
Good one!
That lol has tha win, not least because every parent automatically knows how to give their kid(s) the “wait till I get you home” Stink Eye in a public place. They must hand out instructions in the maternity hospital.
That was my inspiration! Thanks, Tessie.
Agreed
This actually wouldn’t be bad without the comma after Rush.
I think it needs the comma moved to after ‘listen’.
IMO, this would have been better as a thought balloon than a motivational poster.
Hear Hear!!
Silly Rho, you can’t hear thoughts!
No, YOU can’t.
Yeah cause you aren’t crazy at ALL Michelle.
Can I call your daughter ‘ugly’? Hmmm? How about you’re a retard? There again, asswipe, you’ve proven that time and time again… but I think this time you’ve actually dug a hole…
If you called *my* daughter ugly (at least, my oldest) she’d remove you lips and sweetly hand them back to you.
She’s one hard young woman. Rugby player AND studying nursing.
And yes, she is straight, and engaged. I get that one a lot.
do you get that comment alot because of the rugby or the nursing?
Both! She loves to make people bleed and then stitch them back together!
Plus, she rides snowmobiles, motorcycles, cuts her own firewood, etc.; but she still looks great in a homecoming gown and was in Junior Miss.
Funny girl, she is.
wow. congrats on the great daughter… does she have any siblings?
Two, and they are very similar in nature. Teen-aged boy and a ‘tween girl.
Farm-kids, raised outdoorsey, dontcha know!
We’re not all un poco loco out here in the boonies.
Yes- Palin
The f*ck you say?
you’re related to Michael Palin? That’s so cool!

Yes, you’re here…
Well, “I’m not dead yet” is a catchy song….

Precisely why I’m going into medicine. My current plan is to become a surgeon, though I’m not sure I’ll want to be in school quite that long.
Don’t worry- you won’t make it. The IQ level needs to be quite high, and frankly…well.. you just don’t have it.
I would sooner trust the opinion of a sea otter on whether
my clothes match…
Says the man who can’t even keep his imaginary friends from dying…
AF,
I think, as an academic advisor for pre-med undergraduates, I’m probably a better judge of his/her potential than you, not that she/he would like to have me judge him/her in the first place.
No need to flame me, I won’t reply.
Aedriel, if you are interested in talking more with me, request to be my friend. Ignore that nonsense. Anyone with the interest and the drive can knock the knowledge into his/her head. Believe me, I’ve seen it happen.
LOL… 160+ isn’t enough? Straight A’s isn’t enough?
By god, what are you smoking, and where can I get some?
Whoops, meant to be a reply to AF. Pardon me, kinda drunk at the moment.
You enjoy it… you’re only young once…
Thank you for understanding… *hic* a quality in you I’m sure few on this site have the opportunity to witness, ahaha… *hic*
You won’t want any, he works at Burger King, he can’t afford the good stuff, he’s just naturally that stupid.
Wow are you just full of spite any time some one disagrees, I never said the comments were okay in anything that I said. All I’m saying is that she’s gotten a couple of crazy flags in my book and I’ve been damn good at telling the crazy ones. She is.
Yes I’m an asswipe, even though I’ve done nothing but treat YOU with respect. I’ll bear the name asswipe knowing that I’ve been nothing but nice and respectful to you continously. Call names as you want dude, the truth is still there.
“Yeah cause you aren’t crazy at ALL Michelle.”
`
Protective of one’s kids =/= crazy. I don’t think I’m any crazier than most of humanity, but I’d be very disinclined to tolerate insults directed at any members of my family.
Oh fair enough, you don’t mess with the daughters. Again I’m not justifying the comments said, all I’m saying is she scares me out of the fact that I think she is crazy and not that she’s gained my respect. The case isn’t closed though so if she does something amazingly awesome for someone or I find somethign like a biography then I’ll compliment her and say she’s cool.
People are so afraid to be wrong on here, I could care less, I always like learning things.

wow. we’re bringing up crap from 14 years ago?!
please oh pretty please put up something timely and original…
Two daughters of a Democrat President have entered the White House. Rush’s track record of ‘laying off the kids’ becomes a reasonable topic.
considering that his ratings have dipped farther and farther south in the last 8 years? not really…
It’s basically that he’s not really had a Democratic President to be nasty about.
Sycophancy really doesn’t sell advertising space…
but he made up with by ripping into pelosi and reid…
They deserve it.
It’s not the same…
eh. it’s pretty close… and pelosi and reid gave him just as much material as slick willy did… and who listens to the fat gas bag anyway?
do you read this site? Hell, even you come out with the same, tired old cliche bull… If that’s the best the Libertarian can do these days, then I need a new label
wtf are you talking about? all you do all day is try to rip into people… make a contribution or quite your griping…
That’s my question. To whom is he relevant?
Rush = less than nothing. Let him say whatever he wants.
Rush < nothing.
FTFY
Vulgar and demeaning and I don’t even care for the woman or Obama.
Only for Rush.
The band?
Or the moron?
I love the band.
Hate the moron.
i hate both.
I’d not commit ‘hate’ to something as bland as Rush the band, nor more than ‘despising’ of Rush the Felon’s brand of American Conservative Catholic nastiness…
i was forced to watch rush drum solos in college. i hate them.
*wanders randomly after ubr singing Closer To the Heart off-key just to be annoying*
*follows Dis singing Tom Sawyer, complete with guitar and drum solos, just to be a sheep* >:-)
*murmers “The Trees” in a low tone just to create an obnoxious earworm*
Shall we segue into Red Barchetta next, then?
*breaks out the air drum set*
*twirls air drum sticks*
*puts on air sweat band*
*turns air amp up to 11*
*tells the air bodyguards to let in the air groupies*
You sure? I hear they’re a bunch of airheads.
i hate you all.
Awwww …. lurvs from ubr!
@ubr
And?
once again fester, you missed the point…
.
i said that i hated rush and then everyone started singing rush songs.
.
hence why i hate everyone. in a warm and fuzzy kind of way.
Glad it’s in a warm and fuzzy way. We’ll sing something else today, ok?
There was a music writer who said that the difference between Billy Joel and Phil Collins is that everybody can name at least half a dozen Billy Joel songs that they dislike, whereas the same people probably couldn’t name the Phil Collins song they just heard, they only know it didn’t sound very good. From my worldview, Rush falls into the latter category.
Well, that’s because all of Phil Collins’ songs sound alike.
And all Billy Joel’s sound a-whine.
if you lumped phil collins in with genesis then i think the numbers would even out…
The Catholics are generally less politically nasty than the Methodists, Baptists and Pentecostals.
Having been all four of those in a former life, I’d have to agree. Nice that you listed them in ascending order of nastiness.
don’t forget about us anglicans…
Who?
Who?
Sorry, I never was one of those and can’t offer a valid ‘insiders’ opinion.
But it has become clear that the 31 flavors of christianity has become the 310 flavors.
the anglican church? are you kidding?
it’s the church of england… you know the guy who created his own version of christianity so that he could divorce his wife?
That was one of the great sources of amusement to me when the Cofe were trying to tell Charles who he could and couldn’t marry. Long as the woman wasn’t a left footer, it didn’t matter…
If a Catholic get too close to the throne, the articles of union with Scotland becom dicey…
yeah, the who? was sarcasm.
)
-
I also wasn’t implying that it was a johnny-come-lately sect either
-
It’s just tough to keep up with all of the different sects, (like the Presbylutherans)
-
Hell even the catholics have 12 different versions, but they were the very first christian church, so I guess they’re entitled. (<– see what I did there? Let the Holy Wars begin!!
You’re English?
Sorry, Unc…Rush is a Methodist.
I’ve seen it both ways on the interwebz….but having listened to him for years as a teenager, I’d say he’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more methodist than Catholic.
I thought he was Episcopalian… don’t know why…
Fact duly filed.
Thanks
If you rearrange the letters of “Episcopal” you can spell Pepsi Cola.
Little too much time on our hands, there. TeeBee?
And the pot cried, “My, kettle, but you’re a dusky fellow!”
We’re posting on an internet ‘chat’ forum… I’d say we ALL had too much time…
Speak for yourself. I’m currently an Air Traffic Controller at one of the major airports. I’m just a very good multitasker – ok?
Before anyone with no sense of humor (you know, neocons) has a hissy fit, it was a joke, ok?
-
Joke? Hmm, ok I’ll try:
1. A humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter
-
2. A joke is a short story or ironic depiction of a situation communicated with the intent of being humorous.
methodist? eek that’s depressing. i always liked methodists–generally speaking, they’re the laid back kids in the protestant class. anyway, i figured rush was a member of his own church of the holy douchebag. guess i was mistaken.
Wow, glad I fled the flock. Well, more so, anyway. Just another good reason not to be affiliated.
As a sorbet to clear the pallate…
One of my antecedents was a Methodist Missionary.
Ended up breaking the back of the Sudanese slave trade for 5 years in the early years of the 20th C.
They’re not all bad… even though the swine fired him for being too involved in domestic matters…
I believe she could (and WOULD) do it!!
THIS.
Mess with a woman’s kids and it’s on.

Playing ping-pong.
In a purple thong.
While banging a gong.
With muscles so strong.
Drinking from a beer bong.
While pulling his schlong.
Whilst humming a happy song.
All night long.
in hong kong.
Now that is just wrong.
Like the Viet Cong.
That’s just wrong.
Like not playing along.
Arrgh
Tommy Chong, in a sarong. Now, can’t we all just get along?
Wow- and I thought Hillary was a real beyotch!
got up for your Burger King shift, eh AF?
Odd how your comments are posted on America’s time zones……
And the way you comment on military weapons and such, yet have never been in the military, I have to wonder – WHO is the one with the Sgt Rock comic book collection ? Or do you just play a lot of Call Of Duty online?
And I see when I’m gone a few days, I have a couple or more imposters. Hmmm- missing me?
You’ve been nowhere except the Burger place and the comic shop…
Why the constant gamer bashing?
I know video games these days are pretty complex, and old people have a tough time remembering what all of the buttons do, but I’m sure with a little time you could learn.
I think you have nesting fail there, Steve. Unc wasn’t
bashing gamers. AF has done so, though it’s more of a
self-mutilating cry for help in his case…
Yeah, that was supposed to be under AF.
Unc bashed AF for being a Halo player, but I don’t take offense to that because Halo is one of those games that mouth breathing jocks love to play.
I remember them making the first Joystick controlled missiles.
In 20 years, other than ground pounder, that wiil looks something like Iron Man, the average combat pilot will be 300 lbs and have the manual dexterity of a Thai dancer…
Oh! You mean an army full of Oprahs!
You mean Oprah is controlled by Joystick? Who knew?

Everybody’s comments are posted on US time zones. It isn’t where the poster is, it’s what time zone the website itself is in.
To quote a famous Walter, “Dumb ass.”
Indeed. I ran a trace route, and from the Midwest the most obvious backbone hops are Denver and then Dallas, then to a hosting company in Plano, TX. Although my posts are tagged with a time stamp that is 2 hours earlier than my actual time zone (GMT-6). It would appear the server is physically located in Plano, TX. I would assume the server clock is intentionally set to match the time of the domain owners company, which is Pet Holdings, Inc. located in Bellevue, Washington.
More like “has never thrown the specifics of his military service in people’s faces to make a cheap point on a LOL site.”
Pity we can’t say the same about you. Although considering the yellow-bellied, spaghetti-spined way you hide behind your claims of dead comrades any time you’re criticized directly, it’s pretty clear to anyone with integrity you’re full of sh!t.
So put up or shut up, AF. Where and when did you serve, and in what unit?
Failure to reply will be construed as admission you’re a lying sh!theel.
I’ve found that putting anything personal on here just leads to more viscious personal attacks by spineless little weenies like you. Should I reall put up my military records up? You would claim they are just as fake as Obama’s birth certificate. Did my twenty years and got out- which is far more than you can say.
Your problem is not your lack of actual information to post on a LOL site to prove a point, it’s that you’ve used your ‘dead comrades’ to try and stomp on someone who you then call a liar about his own military service. Don’t bring something into the discussion that you can’t or won’t back up.
It cracks me up what *some* people (if you know who I mean) think proves or disproves credibility. I mean, what are they thinking? That whoever reads their comments is going to say, “Well, you know, I originally disagreed with AF’s opinions on Obama/gun control/Montessori method schools/the Pythagorean theorem, but now that I’ve found out he’s a five-star-general/Chippendale’s dancer/whatever, I’m going to have to re-think all the information I have”?
So, you’re one of the older employees at Burger King…
Nice excuse to lie, dirtbag. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
Retard…
“Wow- and I thought Hillary was a real beyotch!”
`
There are probably any number of valid reasons to dislike someone and/or label them negatively. Being protective of one’s children/family is not one of them.
Oh, yeah; and in case it needs saying, a lol is not necessarily an actual quote from the person.
AF has problems with the whole ‘reality’ thing…
this is awful… who the hell moderates these? is there seriously nothing better submitted than this
If you hate this one, click the “See All Captions” link at the top.
truer words have never been said. the “first ho” one is particularly bad.
They missed out ‘Nappy Headed’…
I knew you were ignorant UF, but a racist?
Who’s ignorant? I suppose you still think Don Imus should have been fired for saying it? Meanwhile Whoopie and Chris Rock drop the N-word repeatedly without consequence.
Nappy Headed has nothing to do with race, YOU made it about race. I’ve seen plenty of nappy headed white, asian, and mexican ho’s…they come in all races, they all have nasty hair, and they all dress like ho’s.
So doesn’t that make YOU a racist, since YOU are the one who views it as a racial comment?
wow. UF was first making a joke… and then everybody jumped up and down about how racist it is or isn’t… it’s a F:ING joke!
“Waaaahhh!! Someone made fun of Michelle Obama !!!!”
Huh? I wasn’t aware that I was crying about Michelle…but whatever.
I think that was me, you cretin…
I would still like to know where it is written that nappy-headed refers only to black women.
Personally I would expect the word ho to be the offensive part of the statement.
@ubr, I couldn’t resist a response to her calling Fester an ignorant racist because he made a joke. Her comment seemed pretty out of line. I don’t think she was joking at all. I completely understand that UF was making a joke, but that isn’t the point.
UF isn’t racist, he’s a jerk, but he’s not a racist.
Ok I get it- he was NOT being racist, I wasn’t intending on this to be a huge drawn out thing…you really need to chill out Steve. I was sorta kidding around with UF, wasn’t being totally serious. Jeeeez.
That’s nearly as good as one of DWN’s epitaphs for me…
Let it be known that UF is a man of quality and character not because he sees the good in all but because he realizes the ignorance in all. With sharpened tongue and steady fingers, he will clack away at your petty issues, remove the sinew of your meaty failure, then dine upon your pointless drivel as a noonday snack.
So remember dearest trolls that UF is your better, the one who enjoys your indignance and laughs at your infantile leves of ignorance. Oh and most of all, stalking him to make potshots and personal attacks only serve to prove him right.
In bed.
With a *shudder … sob* penis.
*levels
Stupid typing fail…
“Let it be known that UF is a man of quality and character not because he sees the good in all but because he realizes the ignorance in all.”
`
Or as someone wittier than I once said, “It’s foolish to dislike somebody for superficial reasons like race, because if you really get to know them well, you’ll find much more important reasons to dislike them”.
Sounds like what I was going for.
Now I know not what to beleive myself to
be… thanks, without side or sarcasm…
An honor, no worries.
Eh…text-to-emotion-fail.
I’m very chill.
steve,
when people write one liners as comments they’re usually trying to be facetious…
when people write 10 line comments they’re trying to grand stand…
please remember that in the future…
Thanks ubr, that’s exactly what I was thinking!
Or I couldn’t figure out how to sum up my thoughts in 10 words.
This is a forum, for discussing…things. Sheesh. Get off my back, it was just a comment.
I was being sarcastic about the people who’d make a ‘First Ho’ LOL…
At the risk of actually being racist: are you German?
He’s referring, I believe, to the remarks of one Don Imus, of the “nappy-headed hoes” infamy. Now THAT was racist. And sexist. And overplayed by the media et large.
“I knew you were ignorant UF, but a racist?”
`
I’m pretty sure that UF was quoting Don Imus rather than using the term “nappy headed” as his own descriptor, and I’m pretty sure he was doing so sarcastically.
Thanks Tessie. That was my point.
Sorry if I was being dense.
OTOH, it’s probably the first time in 30 years that anyone on a college campus was paying attention to anything Don Imus had to say.
And try spelling it right. Oxycodone. If you want your image to be taken seriously, use a dictionary.
consult a medical dictionary instead…
.
oxycontin is the brand name…
OxyContin is a brand name of oxycodone. Not a spelling mistake.
It’s a bit more than a ‘brand’ name… see below…
I believe Oxycontin and Oxycodone are both brand names for Fentanyl [sp?], or they could be similar but not identical formulas. Anyone with more specific knowledge, please feel free to jump in and enlighten me.
Actually, Fentanyl and Oxycodone are completely different drugs. And yes, Oxycontin is the brand name for Oxycodone.
You are correct. Thanks for the info.
“You are correct, sir! Ha HA!”
Fentanyl is a completely synthetic opioid while oycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid
If you’re going to correct people, do take a moment to make sure you’re right first. OxyContin is the brand name for oxycodone.
ubr & Elly, I guess we all jumped on that one…
haha… all us pill poppers know our scrips.
LOL yes we do
Wow! Sorry. I didn’t mean to jump up your back.
I will try to do better next time.
No worries! We’ve all been there.
Wait until you fail to recognize a non-US politician and mis-identify them in a caption.
I got my a$$ handed to me by about 50 different posters.
what caption? i want to see!
[link] Actually, looking back, I’m exaggerating a little, but several people jumped on me! Comparing the number of corrections leads me to the conclusion that OxyContin is more popular than Dmitry Medvedev.
haha… one of my russian friends was going on and on about how medvedev is the president… my response was “you’re russian and you couldn’t pick him out of a crowd. how’re we supposed to believe he runs the place…”
Squee! I’ve never actually witnessed a fully-executed a$$ handing!
Spill, dissimil …
God satellite lag sucks. Thanks, that’s funneh!
*kindly helps diss put her a$$ back where it belongs*
…Nevermind that extra squeeze, just making sure it’s back in place.
Thanks, Steve!
Knew I could count on you for accurate and proper a$$-placement.
I do what I can!
I am sorry. My bad. I was thinking of something else. It has been a LONG week for me. My apologies!
Polly, it actually is OxyContin, which is the brand name for oxycodone.
But, as a brand name, it should be capitalized as I have here.
Potato/potahto.
Ya, I just replied to my own comment, but thanks anyway.
Oops! Sorry, guys! (and Polly).
Buncha know-it-alls, aren’t we now …
Oxycontin is the brand name for one formulation of oxycodone.
Oxycontin is a derivation of oxycodone and is spelled correctly. I’m looking at a bottle of the stuff right now and it concurs.
OxyContin® Capital “C.”
Oooh, I like the “registered trademark” symbol, Literal! I think we have a winner…
Oxycontin is a time released version of Oxycodone. You only need to take 2 rather than 4 tabs a day when used for pain relief. The ‘Contin’ part of the trad mark is abput the slow release properties.
what they (the Republican ‘Pundits’) do with it is grind it to open the full dose, then either stick it in solution and inject, sniff, or make suppositories of it…
The image of Rush sticking stuff up his arse is something to haunt one in the wee hours…
i was watching harold and kumar escape from gitmo last night and there’s a great line that fits in this conversation perfectly…
.
“honey, marijuana is illegal. if you need something to relax, just snort xanax like i do…”
OOh.. That’s a bad bad bad idea…
not as bad as injecting something that is designed for stomach acid contact…
Like OxyContins?
indeed…
i prefer to snort conversation hearts.
I like pixi stix for the snorting myself.
Less labor intensive. Just open both ends and…
Snort, and scream in agony.
*dies at the thought*
I think the artificial colors and flavors would be what would do you in…
it’s water soluble… so after it burns away some nostril flesh… it’s quite tasty…
Pop Rocks. Cherry flavored. They tickle!
“These candies taste chalky and unpleasant!” — Lurrrr
“This concept of WUV confuses and infuriates me!”
Hee. Hee. I c wut u did ther ….
Behold!
I’ve known many a person who has done that (sadly it started them on the path to heroin). I never tried it but… I can’t think of a way to finish that sentence.
Hahah…that is a pretty hilarious movie.
Actually, the scene with G.W. Bush was my favorite. It painted him in a whole new light for me!
Percocet is also a formulation of oxycodone.
Compounded with acetaminophen (paracetamol for Europeans), right. It’s all synthetic codeine/morphine/opium in one form or another.
It’s all like eating sweets to me, so I tend not to ake anything unless some medic insists that he has to to stop flinching. God, they get disconcerted when you watch the needle go in. It’s like the expect you’re going to mark them or something. I get a slight disassociative edge with large doses of opiates. It goes along the lines of ‘It still hurts… but that’s okay. Oh, look… blood. I hope they stop that soon… but never mind. Hey, they’re stitching that back together now. That hurts… nice needle technique. Why are they shouting at each other…’
I know that feeling. Still hurts, but you’re a half-metre to the left of the pain?
The next level is ‘The room’s on fire… but that’s ok…’
you can actually get to that with no drugs in your system at all… it’s called ‘pain’
When I was in the hospital they gave me hydromorphone and some kind of benzodiazepine, didn’t help at ALL, just parlayzed me… I felt like I was stuck in each moment for eternity screaming in pain, unable to do anything, worst day of my life by a long shot.
Yet for some reason I’m now drawn to all the medical hospitally stuff… it’s so cooooooolll…. *goes back to studies*
Not necessarily. Synthetic morphine/opium/codeine would be derived from the chemicals found in the opium poppy and called a semi-synthetic. Opioids come in all kinds of chemical structures, and are called opioids because they bind to the opioid receptors in the brain; not because they are related to anything derived from the opium poppy. oxycodone, hydrocodone and others are semi-synthetic opioids which are created from natural opiates.
Even our natural brain chemicals bind to the opiod receptors in the brain.
There are also completely synthetic opioids like methadone and darvocet that are not derived/created from anything in the opium poppy at all.
All the opioids exert a morphine like effect, but are not necessarily related to morphine.
Good concept, failed execution. This would have been better if it was just a caption, not a failed attempt at a motivational poster.
You and your anal retentive ilk need to call the Waaambulance already.
Not everyone has to conform to doing things as you or Lanie “think” they should be done.
If you want to ape the Demotivator style, more power to you. This may have made it to the front page because it’s different.
You know, I’m actually starting to feel sorry for whoever’s LOL gets posted next … it had better be, dare I say, epic.
As of the moment, there’s nothing on the first five pages of “Upcoming” that even makes me smile. Worrisome.
Noted. Particularly the one with “reverend-who-the-f*ck-cares” and his merry band of rump wranglers. Bah. That’s shite, it is.
yeah… i don’t care who mad the lol on that one… the picture itself is terrible…
And it’s been done to death. Enough, already! I’ve uploaded some pics that never made the builder page.
New pics, por favor!
You worry about the upcoming images? Get a life!
Not kidding, i’ve thought about doing one but am terrified of the insults. It could be “epic” and some asswipe like Fester would rip it to shreds.
It’s not that bad. A few people will rip it up, but generally the comments section goes off on some bizarre tangent having little or nothing to do with your lol, anyway!
If it’s ‘brilliant’ then I’ll be first to say I think so… I am an equal opportunity bigot. loathing you all with the same level of intensity as I always have… however, mostly, you just sound whiny…
“Equal opportunity” ..(snort! HA! )
but only if you are Republican!
Er, no. You really don’t pay attention at all, do you?
The American time zone thing gave lie to the idea he’s basically the type of Republican that other Republicans avoid, since his entire conversation is the oral version of breaking wind loudly at table then shouting ‘I nearly pooed with that one’
No, only if you’re a retard… that seems to be something of a tautology based on the stuff you pump out as ‘right wing’
My words have been moderatificated — I got bushwhacked.
Let’s see if they appear, hmmm?
ARRGGH! This satellite thing is driving me batty. I have to change providers.
The fact that drug war hypocrite Limbaugh has any ground to stand on when criticizing someone on looks is laughable. Hell I dont even like Obama one bit either.
There’s little to like with Oblandma
(Rho and Frou – you may have to beat me to a bloodied pulp and throw me in a dumpster for that one…)
Hmm. Taking a pass, here. Admittedly, he’s not good fodder for jokes yet,
so I can’t disagree in earnest.
Comment worth making, given the kerfuffle over his ‘fishing trip’ to the Dominican Republic a few years back. The man had 50 Viagra tabs, in a bottle made out to his doctor, hidden in his luggage. The DR has a problem with sex tourism, similar to SE Asia. Why, exactly, was Rush going to the DR with erection pills?
He was also on probation, the Viagra tabs being a violation of same since they were not in his name.
So having 50 doses of a recreational drug, crossing a border, without a prescription is NOT considered possession with intent to sell, or trafficking?
I’m pretty sure you need a license to sell Viagra, and Rush is no Pharmacist!
I bet somebody with 50 dime bags of grass wouldn’t see the light of day for years.
Said it before, Lady Justice does like the smell of cash and the feel of a man in uniform…
*passes the brain bleach*
Thank you!!!
And the moral issue is that he doesn’t believe in pre marital sex for ANYONE, and he was single at the time.
He’s a hypocritical douche
So, exactly what has he said about their kids, or is this a FAILed pre-emptive strike? Honestly, the Clintons started it all when they said their daughter was totally and completely off limits. No other presidents had ever said that, before or after. Guess they noticed she was looking rough at the time too…just like most other 13 YOs
So, requesting people to leave their daughter alone made her a valid target? I see… and with that sort of logic prevalent, people wonder why the world is going to hell…
Please, tell me you’ll never breed, nor try to raise kids…
They’re as off-limits as Palins kids were!!!
Cool… I’d already got you as more or less a child molester, and posturing fool…
If you make family values a core issue, then your family becomes an object of scrutiny… but you seem just to be a retard who trades on reflected glory…
Come, prance some more…
Does your psych nurse know you’re using her computer? Aren’t you supposed to be having electroshock therapy to your testicles for molesting all those children?
You know way too much about electroshock therapy…
And spend way too much time daydreaming about UF’s sex life.
Ah- another of Festers sock puppets! Use your own name, Fester.
Try again.
I don’t speak British. They put the letter u in some really odd places.
“They put the letter u in some really odd places.”

Richard Quest, is all I’m saying.
*gingerly picks a brain out of the gutter*
Is this yours?
Nope, mine’s still rolling around down there (unfortunately) wondering
how a man got a sex toy in his boot. Ahem.
What is “plenty of lube”, Alex?
Unlike Captain Armenia there, I’ve never had the need to try and bolster my postion by sock pupeting…
and merely parroting my material about psychiatric guardians and gnawed straps just make you seem all the more pathetic…
Apostrophe – use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.
Palin’s kids didn’t fall under scrutiny to my knowledge, only her parenting practices and abstinence only education, which could be considered relevant to the issues that arose during the campaign. And what about her other FOUR children?
To be honest I don’t even know any of their names, I only know she has 5 children, so they couldn’t have been horribly smeared by the media as you seem to suggest.
She’s incredibly intelligent, so who cares what she looks like? If Limbarf had any brains he’d put a 5 second electronic delay on his mouth. Hm… is there a way we can put a 100 year delay on his scare-mongering, hate-spewing mouth?
Too bad about that darn old First Amendment, huh? I know you libs hate it but…
AF- The Halo Champ of his Burger King speaks! The usual deathless prose.
Lost any more buddies in the deep fat fryer?
If I did work there, unlike you, it would mean I have a job.
Urinate on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lately?
That’s your function…
Yes, everyone knows that Liberals hate civil liberties…
Thanks for the laugh AF!
Sorry, bubba….[this is directed to Anti Fester] but the First Amendment is not a free-for-all. If it were then the well-established Tors of Libel and Defamation wouldn’t be legitimate recourses in our court system.
And you could yell “FIRE!!!!” in a movie theatre with no threat of prosecution

You are confusing fact and opinion. The First Amendment IS a free-for-all when it comes to voicing opinions. Libel/Defamation/Slander only apply to statements presented as fact, which aim to cause harm or damage to an individual, business, or organization. Even that only applies if the entity claiming slander can bear proof that the statements made are indeed false.
Yelling “Fire” in a crowded theatre infringes upon the right to safety of the occupants of said theatre. Any civil right becomes invalid the moment you use it to infringe upon the rights of others.
Freedom and Equal Rights go hand in hand.
That would be why all your favorite right wing bloviators have preached violence against liberals who exercise it for the past eight years.
Meaningless asswipe.
Seems no one here had problems bashing Palin at all or her family. Ignorant liberals…
Anybody missing a sock?
Sorry to say, this one has been posting for a while under this handle. He’s
our resident Glen Beck worshiper.
Oh lordy… it’s gonna be tough telling one from the other for a while.
/newbie
It’s not hard…
AntiFester plays his military service like it’s a get out of jail free card
Becker makes no excuses
both Troll-bomb….
Palin had no problem using Family Values as a platform… so she brought that down upon herself… ignorant Neo-con
Actually, like written above (if you even pay attention), People weren’t so much bashing her children as they were her parenting skills that resulted in her children’s poor choice of action. Otherwise her children weren’t nearly bothered as much as you seem to imply. Hell, I don’t even remember her kids names, and I as watching the news like an addict when all of this was going on. You might want to think and check your sources more often before you speak.
Or at least lay off the Fox News.
Free candy for anyone who mocks Fox.
Fox? Don’t you mean Faux?
(Chocolate, please.)
Fox noise? Why would we bother when they mock themselves with every word they utter?
Liberals aren’t the only ones who enjoyed bashing Palin, trust me. Libs, Dems, Repubs…everyone joined in, she was just THAT entertaining!
She is a retard. That doesn’t make us ignorant, it makes us observant
Not a court in the land would convict her. They’d probably be too busy buying her a solid gold medal the size of a dinner plate.
He commented on the sexual attractiveness of a thirteen-year-old girl, and not one conservative sincerely called him out for being a pedo freak. Not one.
Umm … it makes me nauseated to be saying this, but in the interest of truth … where did he comment on her sexual attractiveness?
-
On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, “Did you know there’s a White House dog?” Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone.
-
Nothing “sexual” in that one. Actually called her an animal.
Sorry to burst your bubble [LINK]
See… now, I wonder which right winger will stick to their guns sufficiently to call you a Liberal for bothering to cite the article there…
“On his TV show, early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh put up a picture of Socks, the White House cat, and asked, “Did you know there’s a White House dog?” Then he put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who was 13 years old at the time and as far as I know had never done any harm to anyone.

That is patently false. Transcript – he was doing a segment on the “In/Out” list when the Clintons moved IN and Bush moved OUT: “Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is. David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at–see who is the cute kid in the White House. (A picture is shown of Millie the dog) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid. (Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…”
The media did a hatchet job on him (as usual) claiming he did it on purpose (if you saw it, you know that is nonsense; not to mention that he was angry that it had happened) and from there sprung this *myth* about Socks and the pictures, which isn’t even close to the actual incident, and now people just repeat it as though it’s true.
It’s like a game of telephone in first grade.
THIS is how Rush has gained the false reputation that he has – instead of listening to him to see what he’s *actually* about, people take these media lies and distortions, play Telephone with them, and then say how evil and abusive and racist he is.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
So how is that not implying that Chelsea is a dog
It certainly sounds scripted…
So how did that blow anything out of the water?
You really are slow…
Fister: EPIC fail. The lie deviates from the truth in significant ways; it simply does not work with the actual facts. But howsabout we try submitting it to Snopes anyway? You see, the ways in which the story changed are the very earmarks of an urban legend, A to Z.
Let’s review the lie – the lie is that Rush held up a picture of Socks the cat and said that the White House had a cat. That he then said “Did you know the White House has a dog too?” and held up a picture of Chelsea Clinton.
The reality is that he was on television with pictures behind him and said this: “Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is. David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at–see who is the cute kid in the White House. (A picture is shown of Millie the dog) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid. (Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton) LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…”
It doesn’t work, for many reasons.
The segment was about the “In/Out” list by David Hinckley, in which he said that this season the cute dog was “out” of the White House, and the cute kid was “in.” The television show aired on November 6, 1992 – two months before the Clintons moved in to the White House. Two days after the election. Socks was not a media figure at this point and we were not on the information superhighway at the time with all this information at our fingertips. Millie, however, was a big media figure as the Bush’s dog during his tenure, and everyone recognized her readily. Of course, Socks is not a part of the urban legend at this point anyway. The pictures are behind him at this point, when he says the words from the transcript.
Any flub that happened on the television show was gleefully pounced upon by the media, and as I say we were not on the information superhighway at this point, so the media was all we had. That or, you know, listening to the radio show and watching the TV show. He certainly talked about it a lot in the following weeks, as the story kept developing on television. So if you hadn’t seen it, all you hear is the mocking segments on the news about how Rush had had a flub the night before and it was particularly funny because it could make him look bad, if you wanted it to. Talk shows were huge at the time (you could watch them for 10 – 12 hours on all the major channels) so the hosts start picking it up and implying that he had let them flub the timing of the picture of Millie on purpose, to suggest that the little girl was a dog. Naturally it still has nothing to do with the cat, who no one knew yet.
At this point, it’s still the reverse of the eventual lie – that he was saying “dog” while Chelsea’s picture was up, as opposed to saying “cute kid” while a picture of the dog was up. You see why that had to change? Doesn’t work. It doesn’t work in particular because it was an obvious mistake, since everyone knew Millie and would immediately recognize her – as a joke or implication on his part, it would not work because it isn’t much of an implication if the dog is immediately recognizable as your little amusing closing segment on news stories. You would have to use a strange dog for it to work that way. The order also had to be reversed to where he was saying “dog” while the kid’s picture was up instead of saying “cute kid” when the dog’s picture was up. See the reversal there? The opposite of what actually happened? And remember, the “cute kid” was NOT immediately recognizable, which is why it was a story. People wanted to know their new president and his cute little closing segments with his daughter – but the Clintons had not brought her out and paraded her around the way all the children in this election were; she was not a big media figure that everyone recognized.
Over time it just became established that he had put Millie’s picture up on purpose and that the implication was that she was a dog. Eventually they stop explaining the incident since we all know now (and remember, we can’t just google it to see what he’d done) so once THAT part of the devolution was established it was able to devolve into the next stage – where everyone already “knew” he’d suggested she was a dog, so he was able to be villainized (as he has been at the beginning of the Obama administration as well, with Obama telling legislators they couldn’t listen to Rush and get things done) – so now that everyone ‘knew’ he’d made the implication on purpose, the order was no longer clear in anyone’s mind. It was able to shape-shift into the falsehood that it was Chelsea’s picture showing when he mentioned the Dog as opposed to the dog’s picture showing when he mentioned the cute kid.
See what’s happening here yet? Telephone. A big long game of Telephone. Over the years it just became something to slam him with, now that the order was reversed.
Eventually, of course, it devolved into just a shadow of the truth – that what had happened was he held up a picture of the unknown cat, Socks, and said that we all knew the White House had a cat (except the White House did NOT have a cat yet – remember this was in November, not after Jan. 20, and we did NOT in fact “know” that the Clintons had a cat anyway, even IF the claim worked with a cat “in the White House”) but we didn’t know the White House had a dog, and then the picture of Chelsea. This story no longer works with the theme of Hinckley’s “In/Out”, though, does it? Nor with the timing, since they weren’t in the White House and the cat was an unknown. Chelsea was an unknown. Millie was not. No, none of this fits. The two stories have too many inconsistencies either to be an implication or an outright declaration; too many outright reversals. They have all the earmarks of an Urban Legend to be given the Status “False.” The story is, in fact, a lie. All from a desire to villainize Rush Limbaugh and from too many people playing Telephone with too little information. And a very biased media. Now that the transcript is known and the devolution of the story, the veil is lifted and it doesn’t work anymore.
Status: False.
“the lie is that Rush held up a picture of Socks the cat and said that the White House had a cat”
Read: that everyone knows the White House had a cat.
{LINK} Hehe – guess no one’s clued them in yet.
“THIS is how Rush has gained the false reputation that he has ”
`
Are you also going to pretend that he didn’t claim Michael J. Fox was faking his Parkinson’s, and then mimic his convulsions? Did he call Fox a “cute kid”, too?
I’d help throw Michelle a parade.
That’s conservatives for you. Hypocrites.
But the daughters of Republican vice-presidential candidates are fair game.
While I understand the sentiment, fact is, they made it easy for the press. Of course the hypocrisy of the press, whom we all know were getting stoned and drunk in high school (how do we know? because we ALL did), really liked dishing it out to them. Chelsea was a kid and kept to herself. The Obama kids are under 13 for rock’s sake.
I know, I think it’s gross that anyone is targeting any politician’s kids, it’s just that people only seem to get outraged when it’s Obama’s or Clinton’s kids. Everyone just laughs when the press takes cheap shots at the Palin girls, whose only crime was being the daughters of an unpopular politician.
Much appreciation for the calm and reasoned reply, by the way. :]
I don’t really think “everyone” laughed. I think a great number of people rolled their eyes (myself certainly) at a woman who supports abstinence
only education having a pregnant teenage daughter but I didn’t see any remarks on Bristol Palin’s appearance/attractiveness.
And this is the legitimate arguement. “How can you expect any kid to follow abstinance only policies if the President/VP’s own daughter won’t do it.”
It’s akin to Jim Bakker getting caught commiting adultery. Smacks of “do as I say, not as I can’t get my own damn kids to do”.
Besides, you can’t make fun of Bristol Palin’s apperance….she’s a freakin’ hot (when not pregnant).
Calm response? Man, you’re gonna ruin my reputation.
You’re kidding right? ALL we heard about was the Bristol Palin “Scandal” for weeks and weeks!
But I forgot, it’s a different set of rules when dealing with conservatives (and their kids).
“You’re kidding right? ALL we heard about was the Bristol Palin “Scandal” for weeks and weeks!”
Really? Because I was hearing FAR more about Bill Ayers than I ever was about Bristol Palin. Also, if ya wanna listen for things Palin, her abysmal Couric interview gave the media far more fodder than her pregnant teenager daughter ever could.
I missed that bit about Bill Ayers on the news? Can you show it to me, please?
Scott…..context, context
Rush makes fun of Chelsea for being an unattractive girl
The Bush twins get bashed for being caught drinking underage (maybe it was only one of them)
Bristol Palin really wasn’t the heart of the scandal so much as it was a slam against her mom’s abstinence stand on premarital sex. No one really made fun of Bristol so much as she was a way for the left to make fun of her mother. I’m sure there were some douchebags out there that really went after her (the same folks that will also cry foul if any other single mother in the nation was made fun of by an conservative writer, talk show host etc). Those folks are sensationalists, payback artists, and most of them aren’t heard by the majority of the nation since they are all on Air America.
Well, the right had a near policy of Omerta on the subject… but smearing Air America really doesn’t help the point…
No, but it makes me feel better. Also:
Air America’s flagship station in New York City averaged a whopping 0.5 share in both the winter and spring 2008 Arbitron ratings books.
If you call the sun hot is it really smearing it?
No, but their content wasn’t as you described it. Rush Limbaugh is a lseavy, druggie, who has no more right to comment on Family or Drugs than Lord Bryon.
His “might makes right” is fail, too. Air America is
making great strides against the monopolistic efforts
of right-wing radio. Based on the outcome of this
past election, Air America is obviously not dying
from lack of interest, as he wants to believe.
An entire LOL was devoted to the subject last year.
Minerva posted links and provided excellent
information on the topic. Does anyone remember
which LOL that was?
Air America is not available in my area, so my
interest in it doesn’t work into radio listening
statistics, and I’m certainly not the only one.
I listen to the live stream, as do many others.

As I said above, you want to legislate ‘family values’ then you’re bringing you family to the table for dissection… The GOP got what they deserved with that one… and some of us DO remember the right-wing pundit’s having a solid go at Britney Spear’s sister and her parents, then claiming that the un-wed pregnancy of a child of one of their own (by the son of a woman who was caught with sever thousand oxcontin tabs and forged prescriptions) was wholly different…
How is that wholly different? Nail one to a tree, nail them all. you don’t want your family to become of interest, don’t make ‘family’ part of the platform…
I remember when Dan Quayle went after Murphy Brown! A friggin fictional TV Character, for having a baby out of wedlock!
-
I’m with you on this one. I think if you speak against ‘it’, or vote against ‘it’,
your own version of ‘it’ is up for scrutiny. If you’re trying to tell me how I need to live my life based on whatever passes for ‘morals’ in your words, your actions had better live up to those words or prepare to be skewered alive.
-
This is why I think it is perfectly acceptable to ‘out’ closeted gay people who vote against gay rights; women who’ve supported abortions for themselves or family members, yet speak out or vote against it.
etc etc
Except the slams against the Spears family was about the WHOLE family. Mainly about the mother who seems to view her daughters as nothing more then money trains. If Jamie Spears had gotten pregnant and Britney been a model citizen no one would have said anything. Except Britney has her scitzo/druggy behaviour, marrys a douche, gets it anulled the next day, goes and marries another douche, gets knocked up twice, once supposedly to try to save the marriage, then endangers said kids due to her freaky behavior. All the while no one in the Spears family is trying to put the brakes on the train wreck (like say the parents). Then Jamie gets pregs at age 16 and we begin to get Deja Vu.
On Top of that Sarah Palin NEVER forced her beliefs on anyone else. The Alaskan School System had a variety of family type courses to choose from some of which were not abstinence education.
Also not just the whack jobs but several high up democrat pundits (i.e Andrew Sullivan) started spreading rumors that Trig was really Bristol’s baby and nort Sarah’s. These rumors also made it to Barack Obama’s sponsored websites with admin approval. Course these were also the same pro choice liberals who attacked Sarah for having Trig (oh no, someone didn’t about a down syndrome baby….the horror) and how she handled that pregnancy. Quite frankly Sarah Palin scares the shit out of liberals. A successful self made woman who can have a political career and a family….and she’s republican.
Family values are still family values… make them an issue, expect to be aniled if you’re not The Cleavers.

(Beaver) He also is a pathological liar, a kid whose self-image is so poor that it can be sustained only through fantastic fabrications. When he’s not trying to incompetently fib his way clear of trouble, he is busy making up aggrandizing stories about Ward’s alleged wartime heroism or about Indian battles on the site of his home. But then lying comes naturally to a kid who would do anything to avoid his father’s temper and gain his parsimonious approval.

Life sucks everywhere!
I always thought there was an underotw od something
nasty in that show. Since when was ‘Cleaver’ a warm,
welcoming word?
and a ‘beaver cleaver’ even more..less.. err, something
LOL! Seriously!
“some of us DO remember the right-wing pundit’s having a solid go at Britney Spear’s sister and her parents, ”
`
The best part of that is that right around the time the younger girl’s pregnancy was made public, Mama Spears was forced to scrap a book she’d written on “Parenting Skills”. You just can’t make this stuff up.
`
BTW, the Dad’s name is Jamie, the Mom’s name is Lynn, and the daughters are Britney and Jamie Lynn. So apparently, they only know three names, and one of them is misspelled.
OMG I’m bored with this picture already!
Is it me or is pundit kitchen (and ICHC) a LOT slower with putting up new LOLs nowadays? I’m bored at work, I need something funny!
That’s because they don’t post mine
Modesty ain’t a character flaw there? I can respect that
What is this mod-es-tee you speak of?
some one tried to explain it to me once… I came to the conclusion it was a vice of lesser folk…
Oh, you mean scientologists?
And Christians… but that extends to pretty much anyone with an imaginary friend
Attacking dissent, yes!
This picture scares me o_o she looks like she would deliver on that promise, too. It’d be best for Rush to just pretend like Sasha and Malia (am I the only one who thinks that sounds like Malaria?) don’t exist or he’ll probably get his rather large butt kicked.
I read it ‘Slasher and Malaria’…
They sound like Addamses to me!
It would be kind of hard to miss a target that large.
I would make a joke about the Obama children in this space, but I’m scared now. ( Admit, so are you)
If I could think of something sick enough, I’d do it in a New York Minute…
I dunno, I though The Daily Show‘s bit about the younger one chattering at the DNC pretty funny.
Boring.
Good to see this place is still butthurt conservative central. Do we not want someone hurting that fat junkie Rush’s widdle feelings? I’m sure some ho-hos and Oxycontin will help.
Truest of the trufax.
o i get it
lol
So you mean she doesn’t always look that evil? I’m not looking forward to 4 years of seeing her everywhere…
I think she usually does… but you get hardened to it after a while…
Or by it, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Libido is DWN’s dept, not mine…
Where the heck is he, anyway? Falling down on the job…
I think I scared him away by calling him out on all his right-wing fundy talking points when it comes to atheists.
Eh, can we not get back into the “is lack of belief a belief in and of itself” argument again? Made my head hurt with the circularity.
And I doubt that was it, anyway.
I’m still waiting to see evidence of intellect. Not a glimmer. Nothing… you look int it’s dead, black eyes and see less soul than a snake…
But enough about Anniee451 …
Do you have to attack every comment against Obama or Liberals that you see? can’t you just leave us right-wingers alone and go back to putting your tongue down Anti Fester’s throat?
You’ll be left alone when you deserve to be left alone…
So you justify attacking people because of their political views? so because I have different political views I deserve to be bashed? Why, that’s hateful! I’m suprised such a good little Democrat like you would be so mean! aren’t you supposed to spread love?
Oh do stop whining… like so many, you seem to want to hand it but not
take it… and it’s mostly due to the fact the you keep trolling out the same few boring comments again and again and again and and again and and again and and again and and again and…
Get the drift… not put on your big girl panties and get over it… and try to be ‘amusing’ without being ‘trite’
I’m fine with “taking it” if I wasn’t I’d avoid you like the plague, you seem to enjoy making nasty comments.
I read that as “I don’t mind being on bottom.” But then I’m a pervert..
You say bottom pervert like it’s a bad thing.
Let’s try and explain it to your dumb little head…
“Michelle is butt ugly” became a political opinion when?
It may be a fact, but it’s not political. It’s not overly funny.
In fact, I think it’s pretty stupid. and since it’s my opinion
that stupidity should be stamped on when it’s vigorous and
loud, I’m ‘nasty’…
Don’t care what your politics are, if they’re reasoned, then
may your imaginary friend go with you. What passes for
‘politics’ from the right wing atm is
‘Michelle is ugly’
‘Obamessiah’ style comments
‘Wasn’t it AWFUL how they treated that poor Sarah’ when
even the source of the rumour repudiates it rubbish and
their own wishful thinking.
Declarations of their own, God like intelligence, while cast-
ing sub-racist comments disingenuously and claiming it’s
other people’s evil minds…
 
I could go on
 
It’s repetitive, and it’s stupid, and it gives everyone on the
right a bad image even when they are reasonable.
 
So, do stop bellyaching about it, and make some GOOD
points dammit!
- First, who the fLIck said I was a democrat.
- Second, pick a name and stick with it
- Third, playing the victim might work in the circles you’re used to, but it’s quickly spotted and trashed here. Give it up, and find a new ploy.
But … I always play my victims. What else would they be good for?
you want me too? God… suddenly everyone wants some of the glob of man that is THE FESTER… take a number I’ll get to you…
I’m not Anti Fester.. I don’t use other identities, hiding behind other names isn’t my thing.
*tosses a rock over wub’s head*
I didn’t say you were, I said you wanted me… wholly different…
Otherwise, I have problems understanding you amongst the butt hurt whining of ‘the nasty man who disagrees with me was harsh’… I’m not much interested which side you’re on… keep up Teh Stoopid, get Fester telling you it’s Teh Stoopid…
I can attest that in general, Fester’s policy is “vitriol all around”…and that as a “colonial” you are virtually assured of being, in his opinion, Teh Stoopid.
It’s something of a cornered market in the US… loud, proudly displayed, stupidity… It’s like the place is full of Londoners.
*yawns, belches, scratches her colonial a$$*
Wanker.
Tomorrow, all…
9 out of 10 men are wankers, and the 10th man lies
or lost the equipment
I don’t think everyone who disagrees with me is nasty.. you just happen to be nasty and disagree with me. You seem to think that everyone who disagrees with you is “Teh Stoopid” as you put it.
I was dumbing it down… and no, I don’t think everyone who disagrees with me is stupid, I think people who come into a debate as clearly ill prepared as the people who come here do – you included – are stupid. You make a valid point, I’ll agree… you don’t. You whine.
You can dish it out but not take it Festering?
You’re just mad that she’s so ugly. And downright MEAN looking.
I’m waiting for you to either start dishing something, or proving you have a superior intellect…
ATM you just seem whiny and dumb…
Does anyone else think its pathetic the first thing the comments bring up is how she looks?
More it’s a bad photo… which is down to the photographer being crappy
No I didn’t. I FIRST asked if it was a demotivator.
Her looks were questioned SECOND. Get it right.
That’s because she’s ugly (but so is her mate.) And that is a particularly, downright mean photo – I’m sorry, *that* was the potential humor in it, and instead it was used to attack…Rush Limbaugh LOL. Uh, ok.
So speaks the master race… Don’t think the Planet of the Apes comment was missed for what it was… Tell me, is it the Civil War or the War of Northern Aggression in your house?
No dice, after 8 years of Chimpy McBushitler the Chimp BS do I care what you or anyone else think of any references; in that picture that’s who she looks like to me, and it has nothing to do with my race (which you don’t KNOW anyway.)
The War of Northern Aggression and The Civil War both, actually. Smoke on that one, alien – why would I care what a foreigner thinks of that?
No dice, after 8 years of Chimpy McBushitler McChimp I don’t care what any alien or foreigner or alleged countryman thinks of any references I find funny. Which have nothing to do with my race, which in fact you do not know.
And of course it’s the War of Northern Aggression as well as The Civil War. So what? Why would it matter what you think of that?
Well, I tried to answer you twice; looks like they’re not going through. Tough tiddie I guess.
Perhaps your use of the “n” word made your posts hang in the filter.
You lying sack of crap. However, proof positive – the left are nothing but race-baiting bigots who equate black people with monkeys and assume other people do too. Nice work.
Well, we certainly got your mask off quickly…
So….um….why are you here?
“who equate black people with monkeys and assume other people do too”
`
You’re the one who called Michelle Obama “Zaius”. Are we assuming *incorrectly* that you were implying that she looks like an ape? If so, exactly what *were* you implying?
Awww, Shucks! T’weren’t nothing…
the word, you cretin, is titty, not tiddie… so much for the ‘supreme mind’ at work…
It was your combination of “Bush” and “Hitler” that did it. Four letters starting from the ‘s’ in Bush and ending with the ‘t’ in Hitler.
Think hard before you call people racist; you guys are making the term meaningless with constant race-baiting. After 8 years of McChimpy Bushitler McChimp, I’m not interested in your assessment of my references. Or do you seriously think monkeys = black people?
The War of Northern Aggression and the Civil War both, of course.
You’re the one making those into racist terms! Such a cheap strawman.
-
I will agree though calling the former Pres and VP by those names is cheap and degrading – to all primates.
-Those two aren’t well behaved enough to be called chimps or monkeys.
your name fits you.
Oh I’m crushed because I so wanted to be your friend…
Anniee451:
Is your name a veiled Ray Bradbury reference? I’m willing to set you on fire to test it. I figure trolls like you make excellent kindling.
It’s not a “veiled” reference at all.
I didn’t realize anyone who disagreed with your politics was a troll, and that the leftists have control and dominion of the site. I thought it was for political humor. Fool me twice, shame on me!
And she’s a whiny victim troll. Oh, poor Anniee451.
Such a perfect stereotype of the modern conservative that loves to bully and can’t handle dissent.
According to your fearless leader: “Fool me twice . . . uh . . . can’t
get fooled again!”
FTFY
You’re guessing she’s made of paper? I don’t think she has that much substance.
But, like you, I think of that novel, and Annie Get Your Gun when I see the name.
So…what did I do to YOU exactly? And this Andrew character just randomly calls people trolls and talks about setting them afire. Meanwhile Fester goes about flinging diarrhea on everyone who isn’t like him.
Weird.
Again, the Master Race speaks… and still she just whines… go on, tell us how clever you are again…
Meh, your bigoted race-baiting is really so overdone, I don’t know why you’re not sick of it. I’m not the one who thinks black people are monkeys, or thinks a movie reference means that they are. That’s yours. I happen to think melanin is pretty meaningless as to differences in human beings. But for 8 years Bush was the Chimp, and I’m not going to worry about your like or dislike of my references.
And, dumbass, I said “tiddie” because it seems apparent something is not going through despite the lack of curses in my post. DUH.
Not at all… The usual cry of the racist is ‘honi soit que mal y pense’ whn challenged, thus it was expected… and you’ve not let a single fact get inthe way of anything you said, so I don’t see there’s much chance of anything much bothering your tiny, pale-pink, brain… but please, continue to put us retards in our place with your blistering intelligence…
Tell us how the world was created 6000 years ago, please.
Let us know how one’s daughter’s shotgun wedding to the son of a drug pusher represents ‘family values at their finest’.
There you go… couple of good ones from Palin’s known beliefs and espoused values…
Actually, the world being created 6000 years ago was a made up position later quoted by the genius Matt Damon-put yourself in good company there, Fester. And can someone please explain to me how a) getting married to the mother of your child is such a horrible thing and b) how long we’ve been holding children responsible for the acts of their parents?
IMO: because it’s fscking backwards.
What good will come of A? Be realistic, now…
And pushing someone to marry someone who grew up with drugs in the background doesn’t always come out bad, but come on, be consistent. I find it kind of contradictory to pressure marriage for the sake of family when a pregnancy comes up, and to ignore what kind of grandparents the child will be in the presence of.
One day they’ll start issuing breeding licenses and this bullsh*t will be done with.
How the hell did this end up here?
*sigh* PK’s screwing up – ignore – it’s in the right place
Well, besides the fact that single parent households produce a greater number of criminals and suicides, I can’t think of any reason for parents to get married. And as far as grandparents go, by that logic the Obama girls will be way screwed up because their grandfather was a serial philanderer that left children all over the world and on multiple continents.
Well, besides the fact that single parent households produce a greater number of criminals and suicides, I can’t think of any reason for parents to get married.
I believe this is a case where statistics don’t tell us the whole story. Not at all interested in trying to tie this to the previous parts of this conversation, I just find this particular ‘fact’ interesting. I’ve heard it quoted before, for instance as an argument against gay parents. I would love to see those numbers broken down into all the other possibly relevant statistics about said single parents – atheir age, their social “class”, their families’ (dys-)functionality, their economy, etc.
From what I’ve seen (and this is a bit unscientific, I know), but the various other factors mention don’t seem to have nearly the effect of broken families. As far as arguments against gay adoptions, the issues involved there have a lot more to do with the effects of parents on their children’s development and how each parent contributes something to the psychological development of their children. Not saying that they shouldn’t be able to adopt, but those are the arguments most often brought up.
From what I’ve seen (and this is a bit unscientific, I know), but the various other factors mention don’t seem to have nearly the effect of broken families.
Equally unscientifically, my experience is the other way around.
.
I am having horrible posting problems today, communication with pk seems a bit b0rked. (Problem is on pk-side, not mine, as far as I can make out.) Anyway, my first attempt at this reply ended up at bottom of page eventually (after saying I had already said this) so if this ends up being a double post here instead, I blame pk.
Well, part of the reason it’s hard to tease apart little details like that is because they so often overlap. I do know that once upon a time there were fewer single parent households and less economic hardship, as well as less crime. Of course, we also used to treat crime seriously, so that may be a different issue entirely.
Having pondered this a bit more, with more caffeine and nicotins in my system, I think we have societies that function quite differently when it comes to child-raising, families, etc. It’s probably very hard to compare the situations.
Certain amount of truth to that. My points are made largely based on the system we have set up here. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar enough with Swedish culture to make any informed comments on the social situation there.
Again, I have a few more thoughts about this. I think where our opinions start to be different is already in the “broken family”. I agree that a broken family is probably not the best for a child. I do not see what marriage has to do with broken families. Possibly because I have so many experiences of all the combos in my surroundings over the years, which is also why I doubt that the “single parent households – more crime” is that easy. I would rather say that marrying against peoples’ wills, just because the one “knocked up” the other, seems a good way to make sure you’ll get a “broken” family in the end.
IMO: because it’s fscking backwards.

It’s a little late in the season for scarecrows, but it
was nice of you to bring them here.
*plants Matt Damon, Married Parents, and
responsible children scarecrows in field*
BTW, Unc was calling out a racist who employed a
transparent defense. He then associated her with
Young Earth Creationists, who hold the belief
that the planet is much younger than scientific
evidence indicates. The Earth age claims vary from
6,000 to 10,000 years. Matt Damon didn’t make up
the movement to which Unc referred.
[LINK] Wiki Article on YEC
I love how you put things at times
I didn’t say Matt made it up. I said he repeated it later. I know responsibility is a little passe in your world, but I don’t see why being responsible with your offspring is so unbelievable.
And no, Fester was accusing someone of racism because she pointed out that it seems to be the left in this country who think minorities are inferior. We have to continue to provide hands outs to a group of people who are in many cases 6th generation Americans. And before you start saying “well, this country had institutionalized racism for years”, keep in mind that the Irish and Chinese have managed to overcome the racism against them, and first generation immigrants from Africa, China, and India who learned English as a second language have no problem making themselves into successes. Of course, that’s Fester’s trick: accuse someone of heinous crimes against humanity because he disagrees with them.
Robert, you don’t *know* responsibility is
passe in my world, because you don’t *know*
me. Silly, silly Robert!!
My implication was that your use of married
parents, responsible children and Matt Damon
is called Straw Man Fallacy, a type of Red
Herring Fallacy.
You logically distracted from the topic at
hand by throwing “straw men” into the
argument. “Straw men” are typically used
when the arguer wants to debate an easier
topic to win than the one being discussed.
Wouldn’t it be great for you if I argued
*against* family? *Against* responsibility?
Woot!
Well, sadly, what you wrote didn’t apply to
what Unc said, so I had a little fun at your
expense. I’m silly like that sometimes.
[LINK] Good website: Learn more about
this and other fallacies.
I’m familiar with the straw man. That, non sequitor, and ad hominem are favorites of politicians. I was actually insulting Fester’s intelligence by saying he agreed with what Matt Damon said. And my point was that criticizing someone because they married their baby daddy or criticizing a child based on the sins of their parents is asinine. That said, you’re right, until you give me some sort of indication that you have certain opinions on responsibility, family, and the like, I shouldn’t ascribe certain beliefs to you just because we disagree. That’s also one of Fester’s tricks, and it irritates me when I do it. I apologize.
Well, okay…
*squeezes toes into warm sand*
You caught me in a good mood, so NP.
That website is a good one, though.
OK, Robert… you posted a lot of bile there, but really you didn’t actually say anything, other than you really don’t like me. Fine by me, I’ve got on the wrong side of more dangerous than you..
Can you tell my WTF your point was?
That Palin isn’t a young earther?
That her family values platform works?
What?
@rhorho:
That is a cool website…I’ll totally have to show it to my Engl 11 instructor. He’ll appreciate it.
@ Fester:
I did say quite a bit, but that’s OK. Let me summarize.
It’s not that I don’t like you, per se, it’s that I find your style of debate puerile. I haven’t been able to find anything reliable that says Palin was a flat earther. As near as I can tell, the only person was the librarian. I wonder if this was the same librarian who said Palin demanded books that weren’t out yet be banned from the library. As far as family values goes, I don’t think that marrying the girl you knocked up is the wrong decision. It requires maturity and a sense of responsibility, sorely lacking in society in general.
@Robert: Please show evidence that marrying
someone because of a pregnancy is better for
a child than putting the child through a
dysfunctional early childhood with parents who
loathe and resent each other.
Your assertion means nothing, otherwise.
Crap! “Than” should be “by.”
I don’t see how marrying the Baby Mamma is responsible to the child. It doesn’t mean you will get along, it doesn’t mean you will be a good father, it just means you sign up for tax benefits and claim to love the woman. Hell, most times it just means tax benefits.
Marry the woman for yourself, not the kids. Don’t blame kids for marriage. Being a good father is manning up, not this “You break it, you bought it” mentality about women and marriage.
If they actually care about each other and want to spend that kind of time together, awesome, they have all my support in the difficulties ahead. If they don’t… This is going to get very messy for them both and the kid. Especially the kid.
My point, exactly. For some reason, Robert
seems to believe that a child growing up in
an unhappy household with two parents is
better off than a child growing up in a
household with one parent.
He has made a baseless assertion that most
criminals come from single-parent house-
holds. Moreover, he doesn’t take into account
that some of those households were unhappy
two-parent households when the future
criminals were young.
Statistics indicate a relationship between
criminal conviction and childhood poverty,
and a relationship between single-parent
households and childhood poverty. Perhaps
he’s drawing some sort of faint connection
there, but doing so, without addressing the
issue of poverty is irresponsible, at best.
They believe that because that’s what the right-wing teaches, and they’re required to believe it or they can’t be ‘good republicans’. It’s a result of the Republican party being taken over by the religious reich. Real republicans (and there are very few of those left) know better.
To them a family is straight, Christian (and not just any flavor of Christian, ie Catholics are really from Satan), married in a Christian church. Can’t divorce. It doesn’t matter if the husband and wife actually hate each other. Can’t have sex outside of marriage. Can’t know any gay people unless of course they’re in a stereotypically gay role like hairdresser, and then you can tolerate them, but you have to make sure that all your friends know they’re going to burn in hell.
They believe a single parent is one of the worst things you can do to a kid, the only thing worse would be two male or two female parents. They feel it is far preferable to let the kid be in an orphanage or bounce around foster homes than to be in a stable loving family that deviates in any way from their perfect scenario.
Of course the fact that the bible belt has the highest rate of divorce, the highest rate of unwed pregnancy is beside the point. Once again, it’s a case of do as we say not as we do.
I love the broad brush. Tell me, does it get hard to carry something as wide as the side of a barn?
I’d not expect a ‘sane’ response from Roberto…
Frou… care to dispute the points? I’ve not seen one thing there that I’ve not seen in other statistics…
Me too!
They’re easy to carry if you get the kind that folds up to wallet size. I slip it in next to my credit cards.
I think Froo’s point here might be that not everyone who identifies as a christian, nor everyone who identifies as a republican would act or believe as I’ve laid out. She’s right of course, but the ones who do think and act as I’ve laid out are the vocal ones.
-
I’d love to know why the rest of them aren’t more vocal. Why they’ve let their party and their religion get taken over by these people.
That is exactly my point, and the problem is, us normal Christians (shut up, Fester) are shouted down by the idiots, as you on the left are shouted down by idiots like Michael Moore.
I forgot to add that I buy all my broad brushes from Acme of course!
I’d love to know why the rest of them aren’t more vocal. Why they’ve let their party and their religion get taken over by these people.
I wonder that about a lot of things. I have formed the theory that it’s simply the nutcases (of any flavour) that get the “media”. Nutcase saying outrageous things is far more selling than relatively normal person saying sane stuff.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it
many more times before I die:-
Politics IS Religion…
“Normal Christians” since talking to Zombies is commonplace…
@Danbala
I agree, but is that a fault of the media, or of ourselves?
If it wasn’t that people are attracted to sensationalistic tales the media would have no benefit in presenting stories that way.
-
I think it’s probably a part of the same internal mechanism that makes us love to be frightened (scary movies, rollercoaster etc). I think it’s an adrenalin rush. I also think people love to show how smart they are, so anytime they here something new they can share, they will, without questioning whether or not it actually makes sense. Both of those fall under the ‘sky is falling’ scenario.
@Uncle Fester: At the very least it is a belief system. Definitely has connotations of good vs evil while ignoring that both happen in skewed measures within their own side.
Of course, I should have phrased that:
“the fault lies not within our media, but within ourselves”.
ah well
@Scum:
Yes, I think so too. I would certainly not try to blame it on the media. We-the-people buy the carp, after all. I only meant that I think this is why strange and scary fundamentalists seem to scream louder than the relatively normal believers- they get all the megaphones.
argh *hear*, not here. (but you could hear here)
Goodness gracious, I walk away for an day, and the world explodes. I know this is a crazy idea, but maybe you shouldn’t be spreading your seed about if the woman you’re screwing is such an unattractive life partner. It amazes me that in today’s world two people who get together by choice aren’t guarenteed to make it 5 years, but once upon a time all marriages were arranged and everyone seemed to get along and adjust just fine. Not that I’m advocating for arranged marriages, but it seems to me that whether your marriage is miserable or not is as much of a choice as whether or not you’re going to screw your girlfriend and rely on the “pull and pray” method or take the 30 seconds it takes to get condoms from a grocery store. Christ on a cracker, this whole argument is ridiculous. The problem with the whole single parent issue is that the children so often become wards of the state and/or inhabitants in prisons.
Conversely, if you don’t want to take the responsibility to care of your broodlings, there are plenty of people out there who are unable to conceive who would love to adopt your little crumb cruncher and have the means to do it.
Once upon a time, wife beating was acceptable too…
I’m not sure what “wife beating” and “not creating wards of the state” have to do with each other, but nice try. My point was that people used to be able to get married and be happy. Yeah, it took a little thing called effort, shock of shocks, but it was possible. I’m the child of divorce, and let me tell you, I would have given anything for my parents to have put aside their immaturity and stay together. It sucks, and I hated it, and you may think it’s better living with your parents to not be together if they can’t get along, but I would have traded it in a heartbeat.
Living in a war zone is short on laughs.
Maybe so, but so is being the mortar.
Aah. My parents also got a divorce while I was akid, and I am just happy that not more people saw my mom as a marriage-failer or a quitter for that.
Why on earth (all 6000 years of it) would one
make up something like that?
TBH, my more outre comments are rigourously
true, and if I’ve got a detail wrong on something
like that, I will correct it.
Robert:
Have an Obama Lol and chill the hell out…[link behind my name]
Alice Cooper! Fester, you shouldn’t have. I almost wanna hug you. Almost. But still, awesome!
Oh, and it occurs to me this is a bit late, but I’m not really sure it’s completely fair to scarecrows to compare them to Matt Damon. I’m pretty sure any scarecrow could out-think ol’ Matt.
Who’s Andrew?
Why do people on your side of the fence try to make this personal? You don’t have to do anything specifically to ME. It’s not about you. It’s about your idiocy.
-
I was commenting on the lack of substance in your posts.
I guess you haven’t read any of them. Or contrasted them with the shitheaps Fester leaves all over that I’ve been responding to. That’s fine – just a typical shallow commenter
I’ve read them all, and in the words of this site, they’re full of fail.
-
Why would I contrast anything you write against Fester’s writing in
order to find substance? Can’t your thoughts stand on their own?
-
Substance is substance regardless of what else is nearby.
-
If your ramblings can’t stand on their own, don’t blame him. Blame yourself, your education, your church or your parents if you really want to, but blaming fester or anyone else up here is childish.
Scum, I wasn’t assuming she was made of paper. Crap burns too.
451 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which paper burns, hence
the name of the book. That’s all. Either way, she still has no substance.
Nor do you but you haven’t shut up yet.
and you seem to have Tourrets… isn’t that a problem when asking if they want to go large?
Hey Look Uncle Fester! He wants to play!
Maybe you should toss him a bone.
“Maybe you should toss him a bone.”
`
I sure hope that’s not a double entendre.
It is what it is…
OI! burning books is Anniee451′s domain… she’s the Palinista…
Which only shows you know nothing but far leftist DU and KOS-type slime rumors about Palin instead of anything real. Every last one of them debunked or irrelevant to begin with, but you’ll just keep flinging that poo at us forever.
How predictable.
You are just too stupid to shut up, Anniee451.
No, I was going by your veiled accusation of Mrs Obama looking like an ape….
Ms Palin’s sect have a long and noble tradition of suppressing books ‘unsuitable’ for their congregation. Since she attends and make all sorts of the same noises as they do, it is logical that she approves of the matter when they’re banning another book. The US is great for burning books though. Old Wilhelm Reich had that when the Fed burned all his works in incinerators across the US in 1957…
I bet you think the world is 6000 years old too
Come on, no one is that stupid. It’s 48 years old.
Bull**it. It’s 38, as it did not exist before I came into it.
Eh, wrong again you ignorant, low-life, Literal Scum.
Nothing happened before I was born. Well, nothing of substance anyway…
BAH! Humbug …
Ya lousy whippersnapper.
That isn’t what I said; you jump to conclusions like all race-baiters.
Now what’s this? So if Palin doesn’t let her children read Book A or B, because she agrees with her church that they aren’t suitable for young children, that equates to “book burning” and acts of government against the people?
I’m sorry, but no. She never banned or attempted to ban any books from public consumption. Asking the librarian about the larger *subject* is not banning, burning, or an attempt to ban. It is a question.
Now tell me about how Bristol is really Trig’s mother and Todd Palin is both the grandfather and dad, ok?
what the hell is with my blockquote fails today?
Do you remember how you did it? It looks neat.
You omitted the / from the /blockquote tag, so it nested blockquotes.
That’s what I thought too, last time it happened.
This time I was being careful and was quite sure I did it right. Need…more…coffee.
@rhorho Slan Agat is right, if you want to nest, use two
opening tags placed where you want it to happen.
You used three, when you only needed two, but yes, that’s the idea.
I was following your instructions:
1. You see a woman, and the first thing you attack is her appearance.
2. Your choice of the word “mate” is unfortunate, as if you consider the Obamas sub-human.
3. You whine like a squeaky door whenever somebody calls you out.
Quit. Posting.
When she’s ugly, yes.
Maybe I just said “mate” to annoy your ilk? I really hate bigoted race-baiters, and will tend to trick them at their own game.
Sub-human? Only the same way Bush was to you guys. Just about the same except I don’t hate them as much as THAT yet. But they’re public figures to be mocked and for their statements and vile beliefs (and now his actions already), scorned. It’s the nature of being in high elected office; they’ll get used to it.
You? Set a trap? Yes, and I’m the Count of Monte Christo…
You’ve just dug a hole, now you’re writhing around to try and claim you haven’t….
Come now, with your superior intellect, you must have something… Hell, play the Jesus card… you already did, actually. FYI, snookums, I don’t care who your imaginary friend is – he can be called Dave or Jesus, it buys you no respect from me… if Mme Palin is a big enough retard to by the myth of Christ to the degree she claims to, I’d not care to see her be allowed fire arms…
Unless you’re prettier, you shouldn’t say anything. (And before you ask, no, I’ve never called the First Lady ugly.)
You have to have the same mind set as those you’re baiting to bait them.
And Obama hasn’t done anything to be scorned about. Yet*. He will mess up; after all, he’s human. He just won’t do it to Dubya proportions. I hope.
*-Unless you count trying to improve our international reputation, economy, women’s rights around the world, women’s rights at home, the BCS system…
He’s doing WHAT?
The filthy commie!
About what? Fixing the (American) college football system?
yes. the biggest part of his campaign (IMO) was to implement a tournament and playoffs instead of the BCS…
Hey, that’s why I voted for him!
(Relax, I’m a registered Independent, simply because it cuts down on junk mail and autobot calls…)
Dunno there, Boss. I’m thinking he mentioned some-
thing about a war or two, and possibly something about
the notion that the fundamentals of our economy are
perhaps not as strong as some may think…
Details, dahlink, mere details! BASKETBALL, now THAT’S important!
Oh, sorry. I left that part out, for believing it to
be understood. Of COURSE it’s all about the
basketball, Dahlink.
only the nba is important. the WNBA and college ball are retarded…
*gives stinkeye*
I love the NBA too (OK City just got a team!), but college and women’t ball is awesome…
*women’s
College basketball is more fun to watch than the NBA; conversely, NFL is more fun than college football. (Well, that’s just for me…)
And he darn well oughta do something about the BCS system; it’s absolute BS!
I guess I should add that this is probably true for me because the college I went to is far, far better in basketball than in football.
nah. college football is where it’s at.
Five words: Ohio State versus Florida State.
Five more words: UConn in the Final Four.
UConn’s Final Four place didn’t cause a
Congressman to ask for HoR rescheduling,
did it?
Well, sure, those too…
With the whole playoff idea, I’m surprised he didn’t win over more of my state (Oklahoma represent!)…
“When she’s ugly, yes. ”
`
Also, she’s fat, has yellow teeth, and is too lazy to do nice things for other people… Hmmm…
Cousins, perhaps, but this one doesn’t relate nauseatingly bland
personal information, and she tries to express political opinions
between snarks.
By the way, does that ordering people to be silent thing work on other women you know? Why would it work on this one?
I don’t think it was the woman card she was playing, more stop making youself look a bigger arse than you already have…
I don’t see you as a woman.
X-chromosome blessed, yes.
But woman is more of a title that needs to be earned, and you haven’t yet.
Oh, and by the way, I’m a woman as well.
Gender card lack of win.
I mentioned that… just in case you missed it… You’ve not posted
THAT much, and I had a handle on your gender (ok… that just sounds rude, but you know what I mean…)
The woman is simply stupid, not because she’s a woman, but
because she is very, very, very, dumb…
All sorts of WIN up in here today.
WhINe too… from all sides… it’s like listening to a jet taxiing
And your grumbling is like the landing gear coming down.
Still hoping you trolls get sucked into the engines…..
Like your dead buddies did? Oh, I keep forgetting… they were never alive to begin with…
Jeez. All I ever do it see this uncle fester guy do is attack people who disagree with him. For someone who gives off such a “grumpy old man” vibe, you would think he would know that dissenting opinions are critical to the well being of a Democracy.
Calm down, and have a civilized discussion with someone for once.
Two points (from a rather observant newbie):
1. AntiFester is a troll, do dah, do dah…
2. UncleFester really is like an old, rather crotchety uncle. You just have to keep your sense of humor, learn to ‘agree to disagree’, and express yourself well, and you’ll be on his good side. Problem is, he’s easily poked by certain types…
(Does that cover everything? If I missed the target, did I hit the tree?)
Uncle Fester is the UberTroll here, but it’s okay with you because he picks on Republicans only. I’ve become the Anti Fester only to respond to this jackasses comments and one sided attacks. And unlike most who post on here, I am what I say I am.
As I’ve said before, ‘anti-’ implies opposite yet equal. You may be the opposite of Uncle Fester, but you’re nowhere near his equal in intelligence, ability to form an argument, or straight up skill in taking the knees out of those less prepared for a verbal altercation.
-
You’re Anti-something, but it ain’t Fester.
Well, the opposite of smart is stupid, isn’t it?
Hammer. Nail. Head. It rather kills the humorous intent when only one side gets funnies made about them and then *also* gets slammed in comments just for not *being* leftist or Obama sycophants, or for being conservative. I would laugh just as much at some of these outgoing Bush-bashing posts if there were balance, or if when pointing it out one didn’t get called an idiot for not being on the left. That just really f&^$s up the laughs – unless someone claims they’re laughing really hard AT you, which is just downright mean and not funny. Equal-opportunity humorists, like South Park and those who *try* to be more EO humorists, like SNL, are funny because they’re not discriminatory that way. When I first came here, and was just reading all the posts and not the comments, although it was skewed, it was still funny because there was at least some attempt to poke fun at everyone.
It’s a shame, really.
*points at LOLBuilder*
Give it a go!
I don’t think she’s serious… Think Colbert, just more dead pan…
I find it interesting that you say people are being slammed for not being leftists. And yet you use terms like ‘feminist’ and ‘liberal’ in your writing as if they were insults. I have yet to read anything by you which seems at all funny, and yes, I have read all of the posts over the past couple days.
So who is it, that is actually killing the humorous intent, here?
*in attempts to change the mood*
Would anyone like some mead?
I just had some mead. I could really go for some grog though.
Are Jaeger shots an appropriate morning beverage at work?
Oh Sherry, rye can’t you be more cordial?
@dissimilitude
Jagermeister is appropriate anytime you have a cough.
Otherwise, no, never.
@scum: The fact that, as a child, I loved the flavor of Vicks Formula 44 cough medicine probably explains a lot.
many many things…
Mead is good…
You know, I’ve never had mead. What’s it comparable to?
Flatish, very alcoholic beer (if you have the right mead maker)with a honey edge.
Depends on how you like your beer. Hops are anathema to mead, IMHO. I think of it as less like beer than wine.
If wine looked like a lot of mead I’ve drunk, then you’d send it back with a few snotty comments to the cellar keeper
(I like me mead a bit Hefe, if you know what I mean)
I think he does know that. The problem here it seems, is that you don’t know that. Are you trying to tell him what he is and isn’t allowed to say?
-
Is anyone preventing you from vehemently disagreeing with him?
-
You’re apparently free to express your opinion as to your dislike of his opinions and the ways in which he presents them. So, what was your problem again?
Anyone who disagrees with him- like me- is immediately called a troll and attacked on any personal angle imaginable.
Horse sh!t. He and I disagree all the time.
True that. It takes more than disagreement to make
a troll. It’s all in the way an opinion is presented. It
amazes me that, earlier, AF made some good
comments, but now seems to be happier leaving
trollish opinions around. The reverse is usually true,
so it’s puzzling, isn’t it?
How is intentionally (and incorrectly) naming yourself his opposite NOT being a troll? Please explain…
I’ve disagreed with him – over a macro that I made. You were there.
He and I are cool.
I lurked before I jumped in here – he’s been here longer than you. Which makes you the sub-bridge dwelling creature of diminutive height and dubious intellect.
You’re like the brothers at the SF zoo who got attacked by a tiger last year. The tiger killed one of them and one of their friends, all because they were throwing sh1t at the tiger. They thought they were safe, but the tiger lept up the embankment and attacked them. Now the survivor has received a $75k medical bill for treatment which the city covered.
-
Don’t pretend that you’re innocent and were taken by surprise or were unfairly provoked or attacked. In spite of what you might think, most of the people up here aren’t that stupid.
-
Do I agree with everything UF says or does, hell no. Do I whine about it, hell no. He came at me once, I corrected him on the misunderstanding. Done.
Nice analogy, with the tigers.
And you said it better than I did. :-/ It’s not rocket science, getting along with Uncle F, but you have to put effort into it.
Thanks.
I’m not worried about getting along with him. Nor am I overly interested in changing his mind on anything. Maybe that’s where anti- and I are different. I don’t give a rat’s ass if UF likes me or not.
-
I like that UF has an awful lot of knowledge which he shares even if he does wrap it up in vitriol at times. He seems to know more about the American political system than most Americans do. He does spread the sh!t evenly, but at times I think he’s a prick just because he can be, without having a good reason for it.

Anti- however gives him plenty of good reason. Anti- really needs to step back, realize he’s outmatched, and if he’s still interested, try a different approach, because it’s quite clear that his current tactics aren’t working.
I know people like Uncle IRL. Maybe not as extreme (the internet lends itself as a filter), but close.
Anti- is just one of those tools who’s all “so’s your face!” I know people like him IRL, too, and wish I didn’t.
If AF was that ‘in your face’ in some circles,
he’d be wearing his nasal bones between the
frontal lobes…
AF, you know it’s wrong to use the lives of fallen troops
to try to score some sort of point online. We all know
that. If you admit it was the wrong tactic, then post with
your brain, you won’t feel so persecuted and attacked.
Otherwise, you’re just a troll. We see them every day
here, to the point where one blends into another. I’ve
seen you make points in a successful way here, so I
know you’re capable. If you act like a troll, you’ll be
treated like one. Just a suggestion here, but if you
don’t want to admit you were wrong to invoke the
fallen, simply retire this name of yours, get another
one, then make posts that are topical, funny, or a
combination, you’ll see the difference in treatment
you receive.
If you continue on your present path, your whining
will eventually be ignored, and you will be written off
as a nothing.
Sorry about the comma splice, but I think it is still
legible.
That’s Graphjam… PK is a little more civilised. Not
a lot, but enough to make the out of hand, Stalinist
denunciation of ‘troll’ out of the box for a cogent
critique the presented, rather than ‘First!’, ‘Libtards’,
‘Repulizombie’, ‘Obamessiah’ etc. reasonably rare…
Dissenting opinions are one thing. Mindless sh*t-flinging is another. Politics aren’t sports, which is what most Americans seem to treat them as…
From what I’ve seen, Fester argues with people who fling sh*t… they act like twats so he treats them like twats, fair enough.
I haven’t made a complete ass out of myself yet so I think I’m still in the OK zone. We’ll see.
Don’t sell yourself short- you’ve made a spectacular ass of yourself here! Fester IS the one who starts the sh*t flinging, but only if you are not kissing Obama’s rear end.
There are exceptions, yes, where I don’t think some people he’s attacked have really warranted it. So I’ll renege the “only” …wait, I didn’t say only.
Yes, he’s a dick. But learn to take it with a grain of salt… he’s just a disgruntled old (presumably old, anyway) fart from the UK. Sheesh.
I’m afraid it is just a game. The game is to persuade enough people to give you more and more power. Unfortunately, most people, and not just Americans, have some form of near ‘religious’ attachment to their ‘political’ beliefs, which simply makes it all the more dangerous, and gets good people very dead, very quickly.
One of my favourite definitions of insanity is ‘doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.’
Mankind, for the most part is insane. They cling to economic models that model nothing, political ideals that only result in more and more chaos or tend toward despotism of the first water, while making it acceptable for people to starve in the streets of the richest countries in the world. The ‘people’ get smaller, weaker, and more neotenous, year on year…
FWIW I haven’t gotten any impression of age; but rather definite youth that seemed belied by the nickname. I’m often right about those things, but of course not always.
I tend to modify depnding on the target…
Lets see… something to date me…
I remember the context of Watergate, the expulsion of the Ugandan Asians and Idi Amin’s genocides, the political backdrop of the Black September movement and the Munich Olympics massacre…
Your turn
“Like your dead buddies?”
Yes, coward- like my dead friends.
I notice that NONE of the Libs on this site have ever been in the military- or those who have, are no longer Libs…
Do you consider me a “Lib”?
The daughter and niece of Vietnam vets?
The granddaughter of a Korean vet?
The friend/adopted granddaughter of a WWII vet?
The best friend of somebody who actually made it overseas and got a medal for finding and defusing an IED?
The descendant of a family who has fought in every American war since the Revolutionary War?
My family members and friends fought for the right for me to come on here, express myself freely, and not be called out for it.
Go sign up again. Sweep mine fields, like my Dad did. But don’t do as well as he did…
I’d suggest clown shoes for footwear in such a case.
Do they come with magnets?
That’s only in the Roadrunner ™ ACME Deluxe Super-Special-Sunshine Edition that you have to special order.
Let’s hope Wylie E. Coyote hasn’t taken the last pair…
Even if he did, I’m not sure he’ll be using them for long.
1: Road Runner approaches sign that says “MINE FIELD”, crosses out the word FIELD with black marker, alters sign to read “GOLD MINE”
2: Coyote eagerly unwraps crate labeled ACME to reveal magnet the size of VW Beetle
3: Coyote points magnet toward mine field. Magnet forcefully attracts land mine
4: Coyote looks toward audience with expression of bug-eyed terror
5: Land mine fails to go off
6: Coyote relaxes in obvious relief
7: Magnet attracts gold nugget, which strikes land mine with tiny “ping” sound effect
8: Land mine blows up in spectacular explosion
9: Charred Coyote with one bent ear walks away, expanding and contracting like an accordion.
One little physics problem with your scenario there. Know what it is?
Now, you might be saying that this is cartoon physics, but I don’t think they ever rewrote the small things, just the huge things….
oops sorry, it’s #7
If your gold is attracted to a magnet, I’d find another jeweler if I were you.
“One little physics problem with your scenario there. Know what it is?”
`
I’m pretty sure that in real world physics, a magnet, even one of the size described, would not attract gold. However, in the Roadrunner/Coyote dramatic template, there’s usually the sequence of thing which should have terrible consequences but doesn’t, followed by impossible or illogical thing, followed by *that* having disastrous consequences (e.g., Coyote saws off branch, branch stays up, pause, tree falls down). So my scenario is actually more faithful the the conventions of the genre (geekette much?) *because* it’s unsicientific.
I know and of course the one and only problem I have with it all is that.
I have no problem with:
- the magnet being large enough to attract the landmine
- the fact that he survives the blast, albeit blackened like a nice piece of cajun fish
- or him walking away, bouncing like an accordion.
And I’m still waiting for Acme to deliver my portable hole.
ElbieSee,
Don’t know if you ever saw Blackadder Goes Forth, but there was a great land mine ‘joke’ (like a lot of Britcom, the humour was pretty black)
Baldrick asks what the procedure is if one stands on a land mine.
Blackadder: “I believe the correct form is to jump 20 feet in the air, and then spread yourself in a 200 foot circle’ (from memory, but it’s the gist)
I thought it put a great perspective on warfare, that series. Had humour without disrespect for the people…
My late father, who served in the mess that was Yugoslavia in the immediate post-WW2/pre-Tito gap, found a lot of the series pretty biting, but funny too. Shame my Grandfather, the one who was artillery in Flanders (Ypres, The Somme… went a believer, came back a quiet atheist. I can see his spurs and medals from where I sit typing), didn’t live to see it. My mother maintained he’d have found it funny.
‘scuse me??
NONE of us have served in the military? Would you care to explain how you came across that interesting bit of information?
My thoughts, exactly. Just because some of us don’t jump
into the penis comparing contest, he thinks he knows who’s
military and who isn’t. He would be mighty surprised to find
out, wouldn’t he?
Yeah, while whipping it out can be fun, it proves very little. err, I mean not a lot, um, it’s no big deal??? I can’t win in this fight with myself here can I?
Ok, going away now…
Come up short, have you?
Aww, don’t be sad…
It’s not the size of the wand, it’s how you wave it!
That’s only true in magic and baseball.
Or magic and conducting orchestras.
Ah but guys who are at the high end of that contest tend to think that all they need to do is ‘plug it in’. And so they tend to be less-than imaginative…
in bed.
or so my more ‘active’ friends tell me!
A little banty rooster needs to crow, and
would never allow himself to make such jokes
at his own expense.
Amirite?
Moi?
If I understood you correctly, whether or not that’s true, I think that’s a fairly astute observation.
Jokes at ones own expense can be some of the best and most appreciated, so again, whether or not any of this is accurate, have at it, there’s plenty to go around.
I’ll leave you with this. I neither own, nor do I want, a sports car of any kind.
(What I’m thinking of getting sometime soon is a jeep.)
Heh, heh. Yep, I’m right.
Of course the fact that I’d prefer a jeep over a sports car, could just be that here on Oahu, the speed limit on most of the roads is 35-45 mph, and that a jeep is very handy for the backroads. You never know…
@ viking gal: That’s been my experience.
rho: Of course you’re right, full stop.
Some people think they have to ‘strip their sleeves, and show their scars’, when really no bugger who wasn’t there at the time is *really* interested…
Gah – when I said “Hammer, Nail, Head” I was talking to you. This format sucks.
Um – I was talking to you, Anti Fester. Jeez.
You fail.
His buddies were a flock of geese?
You people are idiots:
LIMBAUGH:David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at–see who is the cute kid in the White House. (A picture is shown of Millie the dog)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid.
(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…
What was the tone of voice for “No, no, no. That’s not the kid.”?
guess its OK for everyone to trash the republicans or conservatives, but heaven forbid if we say anything about the NObamas…
Go ahead! Trash Obama. Got anything legitimate on him to trash? Please, no one is stopping you. If it’s BS, expect to get trashed yourself.
-
If you opened your eyes, you’d see that Democrats are not unconditionally loyal. When the President screws up, do you know from where you’re going to hear first? Members of his own party.
Oh My Harry, all of this!
I know Obama isn’t perfect and will eventually be human and dub something up, and when he does, I’ll sigh and mutter something about politicians and move on.
Thing about Obama is, I don’t think being a screw-up will be his legacy. *ahem*
I figure that I and many like me will continue to trash NObama since the media certainly wont. As to the Dem or Repub saying anything to him… well, they haven’t yet, and both are guilty as anyone in their appeasement of anything that NObama has already said and done.
My eyes are and have been opened since NObama came on the scene… obviously yours are not. If you want his already implemented policies… go live in the EU since they are already figuring out that those policies are not working there either. Either way… I hope and pray that our country stays a democracy instead of a government controlled cesspool.
Oh get the hell over yourself and your self-pitying with this media bias BS. Can’t you neocons ever stop with the whining?! Try doing something. Oh wait, that’s what got us in this mess to begin with. Never mind, continue whining please. It’s far less dangerous that you actually making decisions.
-
Your continued use of NObama tells all of us up here that you’re not interested in facts. You’ve already made up your mind, based on nothing, nothing that you’ve presented anyway.
-
Oh, and the cesspool is what Bush and his ilk have turned the US into. I’m sure you’ve already started blaming Obama for that, but let’s give him more than a week to try to clear up some of the shi1t through which we are currently wading.
Look, I think everyone’s missing the point about the whining here. When a Republican is in office, he’s evil and the Libs are whining about the damage he’s doing to America. When a Dem is in office, he’s evil and the Cons are complaining about the damage he’s doing to America. Everybody who loses has teh butthurt, and everyone gets over it. Everybody who wins gloats about it and says how their guy is going to fix it all, no matter what it is.
-
Every administration has faced problems, and all of them have been different. Reagan had to clean up Carter’s mess, Bush had to ‘continue what Reagan started’, Clinton had to clean up Reagan and Bush’s mess, Bush had to clean up Clinton’s mess (and get new cigars), and now Obama’s cleaning up Bush’s mess. The destruction of America is different to different people, and the attention span of Americans is such that we don’t remember past the last 4-8 years.
-
The economy is the big thing now. In 4 years it may be another war. In another four years we may have widespread hunger domestically. In another 4 it may be the collapse of the education system to the point that we have to scrap it and get a new one. IT ALL CHANGES, and there’s not a damn thing any of us can do about it. We can just vote our hearts, and pick the guy we feel will screw it up the least at the time.
-
If Obama loses in four years, I guarantee that the whiny libs will be out in force. Until that happens, everyone needs to calm the f^ck down and start working together to try and fix this mess that others have gotten us into.
Okay, that was entirely too full of WIN!!
Who are you and what have you done to froo?
I emphatically disagree, but am currently not in the mood, nor of sufficient brain power to articulate my arguments. Suffice it to say that I believe it’s akin to one of my arguments used in another thread, in another caption, where I believe there is an attempt to ‘lower’ the processes on the left in order to make it appear to be separate-but-equal to the processes on the right. I do not believe there is equality.
Thinking I can predict your points of disagreement, might I
interject? This post of froo’s represents no small amount of
progress in her wisdom about matters political. It is far too
easy in this format to major in minors.
Yes, you and I totally disagree with froo that Reagan had to
clean up Carter’s mess, and certainly that Bush had to clean
up Clinton’s mess. In the past, froo has acknowledged the
approximate four-year lag in policy results, so that handles
Carter. We can all look up the economic before-and-after on
GWB. Putting those things to the side for now, and putting
extra weight on her last sentence, I would call this a huge
win.
…and yes, we know that both sides aren’t equal, and the
tactics of one tear down the efforts of the other more often
than either of us want to describe.
Wow, were you looking over my shoulder while I was typing? I thought I heard something outside the window…
Sorry, there, but it was cold in Texas. I’m only out-
side your window for the climate, honest! Please
don’t turn me in…again.
We’re in the mid 60′s right now!
Cold for here, but far from what I consider cold and I’m still in shorts.
Come on in, we’ll take a walk over to the beach.
YAY!! Grabs flip-flops and wrist-rocket.
two days to respond? You’re not very exited about hitting the beach…
-
Umm, I looked up wrist-rocket, ’cause I’m not familiar with that and umm, I came up with pages and pages of these. [link]. Is that really what you were talking about? Why would you bring one of those to the beach?
Uh…that looks awfully pretty, but it doesn’t
look like the kind of weapon I’m use for
stealing drinks on the beach. You have your
ways and I have mine, let’s say. No matter,
as long as we get free drinks!
Sorry about not *finding* this again until
recently. It’s getting crowded in here, yes?
WTF?
-
Sorry, but I honestly have no friggin clue what you’re talking about.
I really don’t know what a wrist-rocket is, and that’s what came up in a google search.
My beach doesn’t have bars. It has sand, water, sun, surf fishes [link]
-
If you want a bar at the beach I guess you’ll have to go over to Waikiki.
You take a weapon to the beach to steal drinks? Is this like a Texas tradition or something?
That was a pocket rocket. A wrist rocket is a slingshot.
@Robert
This is the path/filename in the link. Please note the name of the file.

I searched for the correct term and as I said, a page full of that device came up on the screen.
-
Wrist rocket as a slingshot does sound familiar though so thanks for that.
-
@rho
I’d still like to know why you feel the need to be armed and
to steal drinks from people on the beach. I think you’re going to be on your own for that activity.
Chicken!! *bwaaak!*
*shrugs* When in Rome…
Leaves weapon [LINK] at the house, takes
water bottle and camera instead.
Huh…must be a regional difference. I’ve never heard that called a wrist-rocket on this side of the Atlantic. Course, it could also be a marketing term because it does have a wrist strap. And, glad to help.
@Scum: I noticed your link after I posted.
Wow! What great fishies!
*grabs snorkeling gear*
Chicken!! *bwaaak!*
I’m just really curious what kind of beaches y’all have in Texas where you feel the need to go armed. Makes me twice as happy to be here.
Serious much?
Well, again, I’m not going to go into gross detail simply because my brain can’t handle it right now. I wasn’t so much thinking about the statements of one party cleaning up the messes of the previous party, although I think you both have valid points.
-
I think what I was referring to more was the implication, if not directly stated, that each administrations ‘screw-ups’ were roughly equivalent to that of the previous (or even post) administration from the other party. I do not believe that in my lifetime they are even close to equal. I won’t discuss anything before Kennedy, but since him, the Republican party, while having done good as well as bad, has caused far more harm, broken far more laws (that we know about), and damaged the way of life, liberty and pursuit of property far more than the Democrats.
-
Having said that, I do not blame conservatism per se. In fact, as I’ve stated before, if the Republicans had not been taken over by the religious reich, if they were still true conservatives, reflecting the smaller government and more personal freedoms and responsibilities that they once were, I would most likely be a Republican today. I blame the religious reich for creating the neocons, and I blame the neocons for most of the hate and dissension that currently exists between different ideologies in this country today.
-
To the point. I think that the ‘right’ side feels like they’re losing on many levels, and I think that they are trying to unfairly level the playing field by saying that both sides have done equal good and bad, so let’s just call it a draw and start over. Froo brought up in a different thread how Obama used the phrase “I won” and she found that offensive. What I found offensive is how bush used that concept to rape this country. Obama was being up front and honest saying we’ll talk about it, but he will make the final decision. Bush used the concept to say, we’re not going to talk about it.
“I won” details in [link]
I believe the word was “mandate.”
Not in this context it wasn’t, but the concept is roughly the same.
Yes it was: My post above (at 10:18) was
responding to the last sentence of your post
above it.
Aah, at sunglasses past ten – my favourite time of the day. Don’t you just love automatic smileys? :p
Ack! My post above was at 10:18, so it
almost tied with yours. The confusion resulted
from its placement after yours. Mr. Sunglass,
the result of 8 + ), compounded my
frustration.
*goes to get more coffee*
@rhorho
OH, do you mean to say that Bush used the word Mandate?
Yes, he did. You are correct sir.
Sorry, since the context was Obama’s words, your post read like you were saying that Obama said ‘mandate’ and not ‘I won’
YAY!! I was thinking my comment would be
read immediately after your last sentence:
‘
“Bush used the concept to say, we’re not
going to talk about it.”
‘
“I believe the word was ‘mandate.’ “
Well said! And LOL @ the cigars comment…
Yah! What froo said. Wait? I’m agreeing with a conservative? OMG the world has turned inside out!
Your comments make me so wet. Such hot stuff for a simple picture.
Someone who cannot see that the media is not heavily biased towards the left is someone who shouldnt be listened to on politics.
Anyone who thinks that the media hasn’t been sycophants to the bush administration for the majority of the two terms has no business speaking of either politics or the media.
Sources?
More that you Cessna boy…
My deepest apologies…
More than YOU Cessna-boy retard…
there… typo corrected and MUCH better meter…
Got your fingers stuck up your rear end again?
Lick them clean, Obama Boy.
I really hope that people realize this twit isn’t me.
Which is the real one?
go live in the EU since they are already figuring out that those policies are not working there either
Okay, this comment makes me interested, and I have two questions:
Do you mean that anyone who wants something or is unhappy about something should move to some place that is exactly as they like it?
Would you care to elaborate on which policies the EU are figuring out are not working?
#1 It depends. I follow several socialist (openly) sites, and the fact is that the redistributive policies they advocate are absolutely unconstitutional. Since it is the president’s (and legislature’s and judiciary’s) mandate to uphold and defend the constitution, and since we too have a duty to defend and uphold the constitution and exercise our rights, and since no one has the right to force us to submit to unconstitutional living conditions, then the onus would be upon them, if they truly wish to live in such a system, to go where there is one – not to try and force it on the rest of us living here. Alternatively, they can set up all the voluntary societies that they like here, so long as they don’t force anyone to live in it. If you are talking about things that are not unconstitutional, then go ahead and try to implement it.
#2 I can mention one. The Queen of Denmark just issued the following statements: “”We are being challenged by Islam these years. Globally as well as locally. … We must take this challenge seriously. We have simply left it flapping around for far too long, because we are tolerant and rather lazy.”
The Queen continued, “there is also something frightening about such a totality which is also a part of Islam. A certain response must be shown and sometimes one must run the risk of being labeled in a less flattering way. Because there are certain things with which one should not be tolerant.”
“We could have handled this challenge a bit better, if we had realized what we were up against.”
“Therefore it is wise to make demands on the language. We should not be content with living next to each other. We should rather live together.”
It was years ago when I saw a report on France discovering that their economic redistributive policies were becoming disastrous. Enormous taxation, people on welfare angry that they didn’t get their opera tickets, and Atlas shrugging, unemployment, women forced to work and leave their young children in gov’t day care because of the extreme taxation required to support such policies. Such is the kind of crimp being felt in many places. Not all, but many. Those are just a couple of examples.
See, now this post has substance.
It doesn’t matter whether or not I agree.
It shows you have intelligence and can post something that isn’t just blind hate and rage.
-
In your other posts, you come off as frothing at the mouth. Here, you come off as someone who’s put thought into what they’re saying and aren’t just parroting some other right-wingers thoughts.
I don’t parrot things. Though I may quote.
No, you parrot… you seem have no depth of understanding, and consider ‘Michelle looks like a monkey’ the height of political satire… You’re a retard or a sock for some other retard… makes no odds to me…
My grandfather looked like a chimp – in fact every time I see a chimp of an ape I say it looks like him. Some people just do. It’s you who made it racist, not me.
I think you may end up alone in your assessment about depth there; guess it helps not to just throw the feces back at you? Uncle Fester was an awesome character; it has pained me to see the name attached to your posts.
Also, I’m not a humor writer. Other people do it much better than me, and I prefer to let them do it and appreciate the results. When they’re funny. Only very occasionally do I write humor pieces.
Scum, you and I were actually saying several almost identical things’ it was quite unexpected that you were going to lash out at me. It doesn’t matter; it was just a surprise.
I don’t know where we were saying similar things, but in this thread, when I ‘lashed out’ at you as you put it, the only type of posting that I’d seen of yours was along the lines of:
“Make me unsee it! It’s Zaius with massive ‘roids.”
“Even Obama addresses the fricking legislators and can’t keep his little lizard brain ”
“That’s because she’s ugly (but so is her mate.) ”
“You lying sack of crap. However, proof positive – the left are nothing but race-baiting bigots who equate black people with monkeys and assume other people do too.”
Pick on Obama, hell, destroy him if you feel you must or can, for what he does or doesn’t do. Bush earned all of the nasty nicknames he got. He worked hard for them, so don’t deny him the right. So far, people like you are throwing out lots of negatives toward the Obamas without any cause or reason. You think it’s somehow ‘fair’ that because Bush is ‘disliked’ (putting it very mildly) worldwide, that the world should hold the same opinion of someone you morons think is your enemy/anti-christ/muslim/terrorist/[insert other unfounded slur here]. When you have something substantial to say, good or bad, about the job the President doing, we’ll be here.
I said this to you here before, and I’ll say it again. You’re the person making racist remarks. It’s all typical right-wing tactics and we’ve all seen it a thousand times before. You make up crap and then try to blame it on others. It might work in your local neighborhood bar/church, but it’s not going to fly up here.
I don’t know where you think we made similar points, but it’s possible that we don’t disagree on everything. Some of the posts you put up last night actually showed the workings of a rational mind instead of the seething, blind hatred. If you stayed in that personality, people might actually hear what you have to say.
(Risk of double post here, sorry if that’s the case)
.
Thank you for your response. While I am certain that you are not interested in the “approval” of strangers on the Internet, I still wish to say that I have found reading your posts of the last hours quite enjoyable. Take it as you please.
.
#1: Yes, I think I see what you mean*: people wishing to go against the laws and foundation of a country shouldn’t be let loose. (Providing one is certain that those laws and foundations are absolutely sound, of course.) I read the original post as far less nuanced than that, though, possibly unfairly, having come across the “if you don’t like it, go somewhere else”-attitude too often. (I don’t see it as very healthy to the development of a society.) Can you explain how Obama’s policies are unconstitutional?
.
#2: Ah yes. Islam and western civilisations. An interesting conundrum. “We” (several European countries, to my knowledge) do have huge problems with integration and racism, without a doubt. (Purely for information that statement by queen Margrethe is from at least 2003, and Denmark has had some fun run-ins with islam since.) What Obama policies are related to this? (An honest plea for information, not trying to make pionts now either.)
.
I know you have said you have problems posting links, and yes, this site is decidedly link-unfriendly. Have you tried leaving out the h-t-t-p bit? That some times works for e. Otherwise, a cumbersome but workable solution is to use the “URI”-field for links, asking people to click your name for the info. Not practical, but at least it works.
.
*) Correct me if I am wrong
Well I wrote a small book in reply, but it’s not showing up; having computer problems. If you don’t see it, let me know. I can’t resubmit because it says I posted it already.
Hm. It appears to not be appearing. :/
I’ll try it in two pieces. Gmail appears to be totally broken. If anyone has a gmail account, please tell me if you can log in.
“Can you explain how Obama’s policies are unconstitutional?”
I didn’t say they were; I don’t know what they are yet. They’ve changed a lot over the last 13 years and over the last few months/weeks, and now we’ll be finding out. I was just explaining what my own answer would be to that question – which is, it depends. If they are unconstitutional, in our case, the persons should not expect that we will be turning our system of government inside out to accommodate them. In the particular cases of the socialist sites, they have the options of going somewhere where there is such a system, or form their own. The beauty of our constitutional rights is that we CAN do such a thing, but we must not force others to. If such people find themselves in positions of power, I would fight them for my right not to be forced to live except according to the constitution and our governing documents.
There IS a very grave concern with Obama and what he may believe and try to implement, laid out in a radio interview in 2001 in Chicago. He said that the judiciary was hampered by checks and balances from implementing redistributive policies. He then said it was necessary, to implement redistributive (yes, socialist) policies, to gain massive ground support and go after it from the executive and legislative branches. Then he of course continued angling for legislative and finally executive power as well as that ground support. He also stated in Dreams From My Father (and there is audio of it being read in his own voice) that he chose his friends carefully…such as Marxist professors. I would have to say that includes people like Wright and others – Wright, for example was featured prominently on his website until the videos surfaced on the internet; then it disappeared without explanation – it was not very plausible that someone who chose his friends so carefully and had defended him previously, had not been listening to that stuff we heard regularly for decades. Occam’s Razor says the explanation was that it looked bad. Wright resurfaced almost immediately after the election. I have seen media outlets trying to quote the radio interview and claim it didn’t say what it did. So of course I read the entire transcript. In fact, the youtube audio was a very fair representation that was edited to include just the relevant and ominous views. Naturally it surfaced in the campaign that his plan was to “spread the wealth” and it looks for all intents and purposes like he was surprised by the question and revealed more than he intended.
So combining all these things and more, it certainly looks from this end like there are many unconstitutional things coming, such as socialistic economic policies – we already have moved more and more into redistribution as it is; it should be readily apparent why people will resist going even more quickly further into such policies. For at least 120 years leadership acknowledged that one’s property belongs to the person that made it/produced it/earned it, as their constitutional right. I would certainly resist leadership trying to take more of people’s property – even if it weren’t a disastrous economic move, which it is.
There are plenty of socialist systems in the world where people can do this; the US was not set up to be one of them, and it goes against our basic rights. Likewise, as I said, people can form their own societies within this one, voluntarily.
Now I can’t get the rest to appear.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Well I’m screwed then.
You’ve gotten better, or rather, your staff has,
lately…
Yeah, sure, when it’s a screw up it’s me, when it’s a good
thing, it’s ‘the staff’.
(Are we really back on this sports car metaphor again?)
F*ckin’ A!
ever noticed the recurring theme of ‘mysterious
vanishings of sources’? It out Colberts Colbert in the
implied ‘vast conspiracy’ ideas that one sees in the
REAL right wing, religio-conservative nut jobs…
This is just breath taking…
This one seems to have swapped quantity for
quality. Past that, it’s all the same Kool-Aid.
By now, piling rehashed drivel and trying to
make weak connections reeks of desperation,
nothing more. Her sources, one of which was
“a radio interview in 2001 in Chicago,” are
textbook examples of the validity she has been
willing to accept for herself, and now expects
the rest of us to trust.
I’ll bet you a two-pound coin she shops at
Sam’s Club, a store offering items in bulk.
Aha. Do you see where you went wrong there?
You’re taking what you read off World Socialist Web and attributing it to all Democrats. That’s like me taking stuff from the John Birch Society and AKIP and attributing it to all Republicans.
You might try having a look at the positions of real people in the mainstream of the Democratic party. You might even try looking at Obama’s own policy statements instead of blindly assuming he’s in lockstep with the red-diaper babies.
“go live in the EU since they are already figuring out that those policies are not working there either. ”
`
Really? Health care, education, child care leave for both parents, 4 weeks annual vacation… must be hell on earth. Oh, by the way, last I heard, the Euro was whipping the dollar’s azz.
Whine, whine, whine, and not one fact. Got anything legitimate to trash Obama on yet? Anything specific? Anything true?
We’re talking about their CHILDREN here, you retard.
Go play emo criticism victim somewhere else.
It says a lot about you that you think it’s okay to attack children just because you don’t like their parents’ politics.
I actually followed this back to see what you were replying to – which apparently you didn’t bother to even read.
NO ONE ATTACKED CHELSEA CLINTON, #1. Including Limbaugh. In fact, the post you were replying to provided the actual quotes from the transcript, and explained that IN FACT HE WAS QUOTING THAT SHE WAS A CUTE KID #2. The post you were replying to DEBUNKED the lie that Limbaugh ever called Chelsea Clinton a dog (I’ve also pasted the transcript) and the media did a hatchet job, Mother Jones lied about it and added the Socks bit (or perhaps it got added in the Telephone game prior to her) and proved that the basis for this entire LOL was completely false, and in fact a good example of a biased media lying about something and the willing dupes picking it up, adding to it, and screaming about it ever since (1992 – 16 years this lie has been told).
This has been done with Limbaugh time after time, year after year after year, and it becomes obvious now that THAT is the actual basis for all the Limbaugh hate – I always get stunned when people claim he’s a racist or a this or a that, knowing he never said this, that or the other, and seeing how people pick up these false stories and run with them for DECADES, then decide without ever listening to him or researching the facts, that he’s some hideous monster.
When the lie was debunked here, you AGAIN picked it up and kept running and screaming with it. Now would anyone care to dispute media bias and people not bothering to find out things for themselves by actually, oh, I don’t know, READING the original sources, maybe listening to the people you’re complaining about instead of just jumping on the bandwagon?
THIS was how Rush Limbaugh came to be known by the left as this despicable creature. Even in the internet age when it would take you *seconds* to find out that he did not coin the phrase “Barack the Magic Negro”, that he did not agree with it, and that it was Paul Shanklin making fun of a liberal black journalist who wrote an article called “Barack the Magic Negro”. At least with that one, SOME people did a search and found out he was being hatcheted. With the lie about him calling Chelsea a dog it was ’92, we didn’t have easy methods of finding out this stuff – you would either listen to him and find out the truth when he explained it, or you would believe the media and run with the lie, deciding that he was a horrible monster.
It is not excusable now, when we have the information available.
Actually, no, the transcript you put up appeared to be played for cheap laughs, like the techs couldn’t tell the difference between the kid and the dog.
It’s too bad it doesn’t seem to be on YouTube; I think it would be interesting to view it with all the vocal inflections, expressions, body language, etc., before I made a call on accident vs. cheap joke at the expense of a kid.
On Limbaugh’s record, esp since he was tweaking the oxy at the time, which do you think is the more likely?
You can certainly make a determination that the story as it is told now is a complete and utter falsehood from beginning to end. It makes no claim of an “implication” or an on-purpose ‘accident’ – it tells a complete and utter fabrication that is far more vicious than that. Also, as has already been demonstrated, the story doesn’t work with the facts from the transcript; it wouldn’t have made any sense as a “cheap joke” that way, using Millie, before Socks, before occupation of the White House, and with the words as stated, in an “In/Out” segment. No matter how you slice it, it wouldn’t make sense.
Many people are just determined to believe these things, though, no matter how preposterous.
When he does say something out of line (such as when he really WAS strung out on the drugs, unlike ’92) such as his crappy remark about Crystal Mangum before we knew she was a liar, he has apologized and said he was wrong. In this case no one could have expected the bastardization of the non-story that was made into a story, including him. It all came way out of left field and long after the fact, and made no sense.
Pure… unadulterated… Colbert.
It’s breath taking…
Oh sjv…”NObamas”, so clever, did you make that one up yourself? har har har. So clever. [insert sarcasm here]
Sad she has no flattering angles.
Michelle is ugly is politics of the right… I see…
This is pure gold…
Maybe Barbara and Laura Bush can share some of their beauty secrets with Michelle. If not, maybe Michael Jackson can recommend a surgeon in Cairo.
If it’s Jackson, then it’s a mortician in Cairo… no surgeon, no matter how back street and vile, would do that…
“Michelle is ugly is politics of the right… I see…”
`
Perhaps you missed the memo: No right wing, red state women — no matter what they actually look like — are ever ugly. Only left wing, blue state, non-Stepford women with three-digit IQs are ever ugly. Ugly, hairy legged, boner killing feminazis, knowwhutImean?
Rush did not actually call Chelsea the White House Dog, and what happened was an unfortunate misunderstanding, by the way. I saw it at the time.
If you google Rush Chelsea Dog and click on the RateItAll link, then do control F and type in “did not” you’ll find a post with the transcript and explanation of events. He actually called her a “cute kid.” So before we get this story completely wrong and take it as a given that he did that, let’s clear the record on what actually happened. He didn’t do it.
I would link that and other accounts, but you can’t link here.
The stuff you quoted really only supports the view that rush did what he did like he always does his cheap laughs… sub rosa.
She’d do it, too. <3 Michelle.
You do understand that Rush Limbaugh never said any such thing, right?
I would like to ask **Literal** a question. The transcript of the incident took about one minute to find. I did remember seeing it on tv at the time, so I knew it wasn’t true. You instead found a site that repeated the lie and changed it into something not even resembling what happened. Did you actually just not *find* the truth or even *look* for a transcript or a possible debunking? Why would you instead just find a site that didn’t have any sourcing at all, and cite it as a source?
And if, based on your search, it was actually hard to find in the midst of all the sources claiming he DID say it, WHAT does that tell you about the sources you listen to and believe? This lie has been told for 16 years now. You can readily find sources that are still beating the drum on a lie that’s been told for THAT long, but they couldn’t cite any real sources themselves – they in fact became the sources – and they have instead *become* the sources of said lie.
What does that tell you about deliberately seeking out *another side to the dispute, another source that perhaps doesn’t share your worldviews and politics*? Does it maybe suggest to you that you should in fact LISTEN to other sides of these issues and decide for yourself, with better sourcing? I inform myself by reading all sorts of sides to any issue, including far left, Libertarian, conservative – with economic issues I’ll read the Keynesians, the socialists and the Austrians. I don’t see how people can consider themselves informed if they only read and believe sources that agree with them – especially when they find out how stunningly false that side turns out to be.
and the transcript you’ve posted simply backs the view it was done for a cheap laugh at the expense of a 13 year old girl…
Question, are you really this disingenuous, or is it some sort of pose?
Anniee, for the love of gawd shut the f**k up and learn to read.
I was defending him, you brainless twit.
Someone accused him of attacking her sexuality, and I said he merely called her a dog, which he DID! It may have been a mistake, the intern put up the wrong photo, mumbo jumbo *insert your bullspit here* but it happened.
Jeebus. It ain’t just a river in Egypt anymore, folks.
I know what you said. And no, he did not do any such thing. There was no picture of Chelsea up when he said there was a dog on its way out of the White House. There was a picture of Millie up when he said there was a “cute kid” on her way in. Which means, if anything, he called Millie a KID, not Chelsea a dog. Duh.
Nice to see you defend your use of a falsified story to prove your point, though – whether you think he called the dog a cute kid on purpose or not, the story you posted was a complete lie.
Dear Rush’s mom,
We know how much you lurvs your little snookums Rushie, but STFU, quite your whiny sniveling and go clean up your kid.
Thank you.
God
Actually, she’s using the same script you posted… and it’s entirely possible it was a mistake. Based on his track record, it makes it unlikely to be one…
But this Colbert stuff you’re doing is great…
Colbert? I have to go look that one up.
Seriously, I know you’re going to think I’m a dork, but I’ve never watched anything by this guy. He does “The Daily Show,” right? Heard of it, but never watched.
He used to be on “The Daily Show,” but now has his own show,
“The Colbert Report,” on Comedy Central.
Thanks. I’ll look for it

RUSH LIMBAUGH
SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 6, 1992, Friday 11:15 AM

-
LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show’s era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is.
-
David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at–see who is the cute kid in the White House.
-
(A picture is shown of Millie the dog)
-
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid.
-
(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)
-
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…
-
He didnt claim it was a technical error. He claimed it was a staff error. The person responsible was fired. And he apologized profusely on the air, both on his tv and radio show.
-
Why would anyone get fired, or why would Rush apologize, if the story was a complete lie?
-
Bedone, Anniee.
Literal; I really don’t know what you’re talking about – I’m talking about the link to the Mother Jones account (which is identical to all the other weeping wailing accounts) that 100% falsely claims – last time here ffs – that Rush held up a picture of the CAT (before they even moved in to the WH) and said “You know the WH has a cat.” Then said, “Did you know the WH also has a dog?” and held up a picture of Chelsea.
None of that is true. At all. And it is the story that you linked to at Mother Jones and it is the story that was referred to in the OP, and it is the story that is found all over the internet. It is false. The only thing I can imagine is that I have the wrong person and you were not the one who posted the Mother Jones link to the falsified story.
In the transcript, obviously he did not call the girl any names (though he can be said to accidentally call the dog a cute kid); and as you cite above the staff person who screwed up the pictures and showed Millie when he mentioned “cute kid” was fired for making the mistake. (I wasn’t going to claim that without a cite, though I remember it. Better safe than sorry.)
Now if you are not the person who posted the link to the falsified Mother Jones story, the one that anyone can find in the briefest of google searches because it is an urban legend that everyone just believes, then that was a mistake. Did you in fact post the link to the *false* story or was that actually my mistake? And if I was right, what are you screaming about?
Also, no need to tell me to be quiet; it doesn’t work that way.
Sadly, I know it doesn’t work like that. You’re a loudmouth puppet with someone’s hand shoved up your windpipe, so you’ll never shut up.
-
I posted a quote from an internet site as proof that he wasn’t a pedophile. And I sourced it. Are you arguing with me to suggest he IS a pedo?
-
If not … poor abused Rushie! Hims didn’t know with his widdle self that some EEVVVILL staff member was going to SABATOGE his televison show and turn him into an international pariah. Hims is so innocent, even thought he is the show’s pwoducer! It’s such a SAD that you just have to go ahead and cry about it on a website for 12+ SOLID HOURS because you are SO not a brainwashed dittohead.
Right. I’m convinced! Halleulejah, amen, I iz SAVED by Anniee!
And to think I was enjoying reading some balance here. Too bad you had to lose your fricking mind.
Twat.
It’s nothing to do with dittohead; I haven’t heard the guy but two or three times in the last year; it’s about cognitive dissonance *burning*. I honestly don’t know what in the HELL you’re pissed off about – I honestly, honestly don’t. The first link I saw from you was the common, falsified story; after I posted the transcript I asked if the fact that it was completely contradictory to the story you posted said anything about looking at other sources and not just believing everything we hear. It doesn’t matter whether you were defending or attacking the guy – it’s a very simple, very obvious matter of the story being opposite of the actual account, that any human being can observe if they can read basic English. What cause is that for such freaking anger?
Of COURSE the claim that he was a pervert was ludicrous – so what? Most of the things you see in the MSM and by leftist commenters are ludicrous, including the popular urban legend about this non-incident.
Why don’t you take a deep breath and figure out what about a very very simple exchange and very simple application of basic logic has made you so enraged; if you feel like telling me sometime, I’d be happy to hear it.
By the way, who’s claiming he was sabotaged by his staff? That wouldn’t make any more sense than saying Limbaugh did it on purpose (what purpose is there for calling a presidential dog a kid?) And I’ve already said myself no one could possibly have predicted the ridiculous accusations that grew out of it, so no one made him an intentional pariah. The fact is he has to be careful about actual mistakes because he IS hated; he’d better be sure not to say anything he doesn’t mean to say. Sounds to me like his staff guy was fired for carelessness. Or maybe Rush is a dick to work for; seems likely.
{shrug}
Are you by chance one of Jeff Dunham’s creations?
This is Colbert… I’m telling you…
Off to YouTube for awhile, then. I need to wrap my head around this barnacle-like tendency to cling to a belief to the point of ridicule …
Two words – Poe’s Law.
“In any fundamentalist group where Poe’s Law applies, a paradox exists where any new person (or idea) sufficiently fundamentalist to be accepted by the group, is likely to be so ridiculous that they risk being rejected as a parodist (or parody).”
-
Omigod. It’s like an infinity machine powered by crazy!
And you want to know what I’m screaming about? Let me just tell you.
-
I DEFENDED RUSH LIMBAUGH AND A CONSERVATIVE IS GIVING ME FOR SHIT FOR DOING SO!
-
Any more questions?
So, he apologised and fined the guy… sounds like someone gave him a kicking.
After all this is the man who plays ‘I know I’ll never love this way again’ when doing AIDS stories… High comedy indeed…
While the right are claiming the moral high ground and media bias…
Dear old McCain’s rather tasteless joke being redacted from history…
You’re proving my point, which is not good for you. He does that and he called Crystal Mangum a ho before we knew she was a liar, etc. And he openly acknowledges these things, and the ones he doesn’t apologize for he thnks are funny. So…he denied this one particular thing for no reason?
At any rate, the transcript is the opposite of the claims made in every sense of the word; it has been proven over and over now, so I really don’t know what you keep saying this for. Are you still drunk?
No, they’re not ‘opposite’
But god’s teeth, you’re good at the post modern…
Let’s have some Prime Limbaugh… Uncle Rush on the Abu Ghraib Prison Abuse…
Does this sound like a man who would really blink at calling the daughter of a political ‘enemy’ a dog? Be interesting to see how well he stood up to being placed in a stress position for a few hours…
I’m thinking he pays good money to be placed in stress positions…
Nope – that’s Limbaugh. If he HAD called Chelsea a dog he wouldn’t deny it; he might apologize, but he wouldn’t deny. Any more than he would deny saying what you just posted. So what? The fact that he said that about Abu Ghraib doesn’t mean he said Chelsea Clinton was a dog – and in fact, he did not. The only thing one can deduce from the transcript would be that he called Millie the dog a “cute kid.” Not the reverse. It is false on every level, and was from the beginning. The version that’s been popularized on the net involving the cat and him holding up the girl’s picture and calling her names is just a more eggregious lie than the original lie that he might have implied it.
Still the great Colbert material… You’ve got to run out soon…
but to avoid spoiling the joke… Limbaugh’s general lack of taste, decorum, or anything like ‘accuracy, means that sort of crap is wholly believable of him… and to say he wouldn’t blink is pretty much an assumption. Depends who is squeezing his balls. The level of nasty is entirely in line with other material the man produces… like all of his ilk, if he thought it was going to cost him money then he’d kill a crow and eat it to avoid loss.
The transcript proves nothing, the aftermath only proves he got a worse reation than he’d expected… if there was no mens rea, why was some poor schmuck fired? TV boobs happen all the time… they make up the Xmas VT reel and cheap television for YEARS after… question is this… why did Rush over react. If it was a genuine ballsup then he’s general demeanour is more likely to be ‘dumb mistake, suck it up retards’ not an unequivocal apology and someone’s head on a stake…
He called her a dog. Nice try re-writing history though. Do you have to go to school for that? Rush U, perhaps?
People have the incident on tape, love.
Hey, there’s an ad for “The God Who Wasn’t There” on the bottom. Did anyone know that one of the main atheists in that film, who ran an avowed atheist site for years (and told us all exactly why the bible was ridiculous and untrue), has announced that he was wrong and has become a born again Christian? True story. I don’t remember his name, but I’ll find it later.
Which means what? Christians realise their imaginary friend is just that all the time… just because an Atheist has a psychotic break doesn’t mean much…
And tbh, the bunch who did The God Who Wasn’t There (other than ‘Mad’ Bob Price) are all overdue a psychotic break. It’s the Raving Atheist who fell first… but then other than Dawkins, he’s the least stable of the bunch… Dawkins I’ve never been sure if he was sane since post – Blind Watchmaker…
It’s an indifferently researched film, and, a lot like Annee451, takes ambiguous quotes to make a possibly spurious point – i.e. who is the ‘King’ in the parable in Luke 19:27 representing?
Two replies to this one, huh? Don’t worry; I didn’t realize you were a raging alcoholic before; that explains the poo-flinging and the lovesick following a little bit. I’ll try to let you masturbate in the corner in peace.
It’s still great Colbert…
The second reply was because I looked up which one had finally blown a gaskets and gone for the least likely religion on the planet… It’s up there with Scientology…
srsly fest? luke 19:27?
it’s a quote talking about how evil people will be destroyed if you do not follow Christ. destroyed by going to hell and not heaven… not a new parable in the Bible… anything else i can help you with?
“It’s a quote talking about how evil people will be destroyed if you do not follow Christ.”
Well, that’s a new Exegesis on me… Evil people will be destroyed if I don’t follow Christ… cool… I’m looking forward to it.
No, you misunderstand. It is Jesus saying that he will personally witness the murder of anybody who doesn’t believe him to be king.
This is a very dangerous situation for two thirds of the population of Earth. Our murders are imminent.
And Christ was loves us all unconditionally!? I’m shocked…
Have a picture [link]
That sum it up?
No, he never said he would do it himself. He delegates the murders, and watches.
Seriously, even on drugs Rush is right!
Also, have you seen her brother the Oregon State bball caoch? She looks just like him, you know how Angelina Jolie looks like Jon Voight, same thing. This is one hideous woman, and the press is talking about how good she looks?
Hi AF, got off the meth train long enough to post?
Looks like a man.
But more of a woman than you’ll ever have…
good god, have you guy’s seen the dresses she picks? especially that black one wiht the red and the yellow one at the inauguration? jesus that woman has a bad sense of style…and i am honestly getting sick of liberals (not democrats) who have gotten the election get to their heads…it’s almost as though they don’t realize that there’s a real world out there…so sad…in the words of Savage, “liberalism is a mental disorder”
Woman in the McCain-Palin frock not in your party then? That’s strange…
i thought you were a centered libertarian who hates everyone and everything? the more posts of yours i read the more i’ve come to the realization that you are the normal run of the mill leftie… so sad…
I’m begining to think you’re just Antifester trying to be ‘respectable’…
since when is the subject of ‘frocks’ “politics”?
i have too much fun ruining your posts using my own name…
Question: How was the above a ‘leftist comment’? it referred to a LoL that appeared before you ever hoved into view…
I’m saying if Mrs Obama’s dresses are politically something for Critique then all are… Seems to me, you’re really just a right winger who pretends to be libertarian…
Well, although I agree with the subject of your statement, Fester, if I remember correctly is was Mrs. Palin’s dresses that became the subject for critique first.
I think that was related to ‘cost’ IIRC… Dumping the
national debt of Nicuragua on the VP prospective while
trying to claim ‘fiscal responsibility’ just rang hollow. IIRC,
the leak came from within the Republican camp… Thus
they made it their own issue…
True. But they hardly dumped the national debt of Nicaragua into it. The simple fact of the matter was the whole thing kinda happened at once and the RNC bought her some close. And the leak came from the McCain camp, which isn’t exactly bristling hard-core conservatives. Or even, you know, left-ish conservatives. It should also be noted that the leak was accompanied by a variety of other accusations from McCain staffers that both McCain and Palin said were ludicrous. I’m just glad it’s over. Part of me is really glad John didn’t win, ideological differences with Obama aside.
On another note, you’re absolutely right. Lack of fiscal responsibility is the main reason they lost the house in 2006, and probably didn’t help them in 2008.
But when the Republicans started this childish war over how much is being spent on candidates or by them, for things such as a couple of haircuts or a pair of shoes, they’re really not in a place to whine about being held to the same lack of standards. Republicans try to live by the old ‘do as we say, not as we do’ set of morals, but some of us are tired of putting up with that crap.
Actually, it’s nothing like that… Tax evasion isn’t quite the same as mudslinging…
No one said much about McCain’s
wardrobe… but then, both the Obamas and
the McCains have an income that precludes
having to shop at K-Mart.
I thought we were talking about hypocrisy…you keep doing that. But, since we’re talking about mudslinging, how about “Sarah Palin’s daughter is the real mother of the new baby!” Perhaps “Scary Sarah Palin wanted to ban books that weren’t even out yet!” And my personal favorite, “Sarah Palin fired Walt Monegan because he wouldn’t fire her ex-brother-in-law, not for repeated acts of insubordination. And while we’re at it, we’ll ignore said trooper’s drinking on the job, tasering a child, and death threats against his wife’s father, any one of which should have gotten him removed from his job, much less all three” Like that kind of mud-slinging?
Yeah, most politicians do. Part of the problem with the system, if you ask me.
Sarah Palin not Track’s mother. Debunked
well before the election, although what
mother whose waters had broken would
deliver a speech and then fly allthe way
back to Alaska before seeking treatment
makes one question her judgement
Troopergate – Still not convinced there’s not
more to that that meets the eye. The unusual
step of a Justice telling the Palin clan to drop
it and step back is noteworthy, and idicative of
something that seemed to be common local
knowledge
Books – The ‘enquiry’ is just an interesting
insight, even though no action was actually
taken
TBH, the bloody woman is a media trainwreck.
But let’s not dwell on that… nor shall we dwell
on smears about ‘arabs’, the name ‘Obama’
resembling ‘Osama’, the ‘terrorist’ slurs, the
comments that ‘he doesn’t see America like
WE see America’…
Well, as one of the ten people who knew anything about Sarah Palin before John decided he needed a Hail Mary, I think she was over-handled during the election, but I imagine we’ll see in 2010 when people start announcing their candidacy. As far as the Obama slurs, the only people who had anything to benefit when the “Obama is a Muslim” bruhaha started was the Clinton campaign, and I’d bet my left nut it was Hillary’s people who dug all that up. The name Obama does resemble Osama, much to the chagrin of pundits on both the right and the left, who couldn’t hardly get either name out without screwing it up. A particularly amusing sound bite is ol’ Teddy K screaming “Why don’t we just ask Osama Obama…” on the floor of the senate. And I believe the woman who said “terrorist fist bump” was fired before the chair she was sitting on had cooled off. Finally, anyone who sits in the church of a nut like Jeremiah Wright for 20 years certainly gives the impression that they see things differently. That would be like a Republican who sat in Pat Robertson’s church for 20 years.
Playing Christian is never a good move…
Hanging out in a place where people believe in the rapture and speak in tongues really doesn’t bespeak of a highly sophisticated brain either…
Well Joe, if you don’t like her dresses, don’t wear them. It’s pretty simple.

You seem to have a problem with ‘liberalism’. You have no problem with no-progress, stuck-in-stone, we don’t recognize anything since ‘bible-days’ types of conservatives though do you?
-
You think liberals have let the election get to their heads? I haven’t seen Obama or anyone else in the party flitting about screaming ‘mandate’ the way Bush did.
-
The real world of which you speak is one where your guys f’ed it up so badly that the country realized it’s former mistake and put the current administration into office to clean up your mess. Deal with it.
Well, you can’t put lipstick on a pig… uh.. I guess you can!

The first one is in the link, the second should be easy enough to find if you use google. To make sure I’m not accused of taking her out of context, she then went on to claim to be “non-partisan,” which is kinda’ like Michael Savage or Keith Olbermann claiming to be non partisan, imo.

So here’s an amusing observation-
One version of that song is done by Melanie G aka Scary Spice, baby Momma to Eddie Murphy, who was once caught with a male prostitute. So does that mean that Eddie has a crush on Obama now?
“I won” [link]
Guess what, he did win. Even if you have a problem with it, it’s fact.
-
In context, Obama did say it in a somewhat humorous way, and even the Republicans said so. (Do you think the Repubs were lying?) Yet there was meaning behind it. He was saying ‘look people, we’re going to work with you, but in the end, remember, I won, and I’m going to be making the final decisions’. I don’t see a problem with that because unlike Bush who ran around screaming ‘mandate’, Obama is working with the Republicans (and what did he get for his efforts on his first attempt? Stabbed in the back, but we shouldn’t be too surprised about that).
Bush refused to work with the Democrats to come up with bi-partisan solutions. Where he had to work with them, he simply eradicated their contribution later with his signing statements.
No, although I expect politicians to be power hungry and liars
Are you guys just trying to get this monstrosity to 1,000 posts?
It takes 15 minutes to load …
Don’t you know that if we hit 5,000, all wars will end, world peace will ensue.
Poverty will end.
All the gods will rejoice.
We’ll be living in paradise.

Either that, or the server will crash.
OK, first of all, Bush let Ted freaking Kennedy write the education bill. I’m not really sure what else he could have done. And Obama isn’t “working with Republicans.” He’s scratching the backs of the people who got him elected while simultaneously screaming that it’s a stimulus bill and the world will end if we don’t pass this pork-laden monstrosity. That’s not the change that was promised.
Which proves what?
Every President since Washington has lied, played the
old boy network, and generally ensured they have a
pension in the form of a lot of gold, or a career of
non-executive directorates and after dinner speaking,
while endowing the obligatory Ego Library…
Eh, maybe not every President. But I agree with your theme. In all fairness, and I don’t like him at all, but at least Clinton did little more than make himself a ridiculously overpaid speaker post-White House. And I get that, but it’s insulting to everyone’s intelligence when you do that and claim it’s some kind of boon to the economy.
I can’t argue with that.
As an addendum to the bald comment, I’ve found it a view that has served me well down the years.
…Savage, “liberalism is a mental disorder”
We’re now supposed to believe any of the ‘moderate’ things you say above, why…?
the reason i quoted savage you insolent moron, is because of the fact that it basically says that any extremity of anything is bad! does your puny little brain comprehend that?!
Yeah, ’cause moderates always explode in furor after being asked a simple question as to why they trashed only the left, yet we’re supposed to believe that meant they’re against both the right and left.
-
Anniee? Is that you again? You do know that switching genders is against good moral republican ethics don’t you?
-
Nice to see the addadicktome went well. When do you get the balls?
I think she always had the balls. I was hoping she would do
something about the tumor, though…
Actually, the problem with moderates is the opposite. They have no spine, no drive, no energy, no passion. Please tell me what great social change is the result of moderates? Perhaps the end of slavery? Wait, no… Perhaps women’s suffrage…wait, not there, either. I know! The Civil Rights movement. Nope, that’s not it either. Quite frankly, I’d rather have our politicians cursing and shouting at each other than sitting around trying to make a decision on the color of the drapes because everything else is too controversial.
I cannot understand why people think this is tasteless or vulgar. There is nothing wrong with a woman protecting her kids, and when those kids are in the spotlight like the Obama girls of COURSE you want to protect them from someone known to make rude comments about the children of democrat presidents.
I thought this was a funny and appropriate LOL.
Jersey Girl – I know the thread is an impossible size, but there are like 20 posts detailing the fact that Rush did NOT say any such thing about Chelsea Clinton, including the transcript, the devolution of the story, and witnesses.
Second, it wasn’t funny, and that makes it worse. It could be forgiven for being untrue, but not unfunny. Not tasteless or vulgar (who said that?) just…not working and not accurate.
There aren’t 20 posts, there was one transcript that you posted that actually shewed the reverse of what you intended to show…
Out of curiosity, why is a semi-intentional flub on a (supposedly) defunct radio show hosted by a nut being blown to these proportions, but a skit on a (semi-well-respected) show hosted by everyone in Hollywood and presided over by a left-winger about Todd Palin being the father of Bristol Palin’s baby and sleeping with the other daughters in his family immediately taken down and never talked about?
Because it was established quickly as untrue?
How about “because one is a conservative and the other helped get Obama get elected”? That’s seems more accurate, since a rather large percentage of Obama voters believed Tina Fey quotes were actually said by Palin.
A lot were… there wasn’t a parcel of script writing going on, other than by GOP spin meistsers…
Wait, what? I’m pretty sure your argument is that the quotes in question were said by Palin, which in many instances was just not true. I think I heard “And I can see Russia from my House” 100 times or more.
You mean television show, and there was nothing “intentional” except the hatchet job by the media afterwards. But I doubt they suspected the accusation would not only stick for 16 years, but that it would mutate into this ridiculous story that doesn’t even approach the second-long shot of the wrong picture. For it to devolve into a whole bizarre story involving Clintoon’s cat and Limbaugh outright calling the girl names? The media at the time merely claimed possible intent; there is no way they could have foreseen the modern left’s dogged and insane tenacity and capacity for lies.
And there are sites still posting pictures of Palin during her pregnancy and claiming she couldn’t possibly have been Trig’s mother; they get calls and mail every day regarding that non-issue. Even though she didn’t even win the election. Her church was set on fire, which wasn’t so funny. These stories the left spins never die, apparently. Now with the internet playground, they just mutate and keep growing into caricatures of themselves.
The transcript you’ve given proves nothing… the reading certainly
doesn’t unequivocally show any ‘error’. Based on Limbaugh’s
record for making what are basically ‘nasty’ comments, the hony
soit que mal y pense defence really just rings hollow.
All posted by you, love.
Here’s a different one. [link]
She needn’t worry, she supplies enough ignorance and stupidity, not to mention sheer ugly-looks, Rush has no need to even look at those bastard kids that really belong to her pimp.
If you’re a real American, I’m moving to Iraq.
shhhh…
if you leave it alone, it will find another bridge.
Forget a bridge…maybe we can track down some coats to run him down…
*goats
Nice to see AntiFester’s mother has turned up…
I’m off to visit a nonexistant squadron mate who was shot down in Iraq and crashed his nonexistant plane and is now a nonexistant quadriplegic. So, carry on bitter liberal hippocrits!
You deliver Take out to Vets? Hell, I never knew Burger King did that…
He’s going there with friends to play a modified game of “kick the can”
with the guy…
Dodge Ball…
This is the most honest I’ve seen you.
Dude…what the hell is wrong with you? I’m no fan of Michelle, but holy crap son…
Irony. You has it.
Penis.
The media was horrible to Chelsea Clinton. As if it isn’t awkward enough growing up. But Michelle has nothing to worry about, her daughters are beautiful.
you go
Mmmm, Rush is OK. Jon and Ken are totaly awesome! Tax revolt ’09 *Heads on a stick* Mwahahahaaaaa
AAAAnd, I don’t care how they look, as long as they do a decent job!
From what I’ve seen (and this is a bit unscientific, I know), but the various other factors mention don’t seem to have nearly the effect of broken families.
Equally unscientifically, my experience is the other way around.
That’s beautiful. See, I like it when you say stuff like that. It’s ever so true. WE may disagree on most everything, but at least we’re both cynical when it comes to politicians.
Nesting error? where did that belong?
Looks like it suffered the same fate as my post right above it, yes. (I read it as a response to your “I’m afraid it is just a game.”… post, from the timing.)
I think it belonged up with it’s a game or politicians are power-hungry liars…PK was doing some very odd things when I posted it, though.
This may come as a shock to you, but political affilitations aren’t really heritable…so you might be a lib. Similarly, Obama’s kids might turn out to be to the right of Ann Coulter. Which would be absolutely delicious.
Being to the right of Ann Coulter is to place one as some type of reptile, rather than a human…
Apparently Robert enjoys the taste of chicken.
Ummm…did you just say black people tasted like chicken. I am so confused right now…
I was more talking about the irony that would be delicious. I’m a fan.
Can he unhook his lower jaw to eat one whole though…
Oh, god, [LINK] in priceless in that context…
Which you’d think they would, you know, after they directly contributed to the death of one of them.
It think it’s approaching critical mass of comments… and the nesting is breaking
What was that in reply to?
Robert is now posting responses to the voices in his head.
I wish…they’re much better conversation.
Handy hint – When they tell you to ‘kill them all, God will know his own’, don’t go with it.
Thanks for the advice. So far, though, no homicidal urgings, and I really don’t think it’ll be a problem.
give it time…
Thanks for caring!
It’s about the people round you … don’t think I’m sentimental…
aww..are more liberals talkin shit about conservative radio??
lol i dont think they can talk…how many main stream liberal shows are there compared to consevative ones??? hardly any
Pointless man is pointless…
If you’re going to post here, pleas use proper grammar, punctuation, and formatting.
*please
Oi…yeah, thanks!
thats not a joke..
thats just someone being mad?
Just because Rush Limbaugh is never wrong does not mean that Michelle has the right to PMS over funny things he says.
Pardon?
I think the person who posted this “poster” was looking for a pissed off Michelle Obama…which this picture accurately captures.
999
1000
1000!
not as annoying as first, but I had to do it.
2th!
Achk!! Foiled by my own scheme.
1000?
Quite a lol…
What made it so discuss-able?
hmmm….
Ha! 1000 is mine. (preciousssssssss)
*bites off finger*
This “lol” has a poor rating, NOT because we love Rush (he is an asshole) but because this particular caption SUCKS BALLS!
It’s too LONG and complicated and kills any chance of a punchline for taking itself too seriously.
COMEDIC TIMING FAIL.
I think the caption “I hate white people” would have been more fitting.
Michelle Obama = Jackie Kennedy wannabe
You may be right, but I would make the argument that the cult of personality around Barack is largely to recapture that old Kennedy nostalgia. People forget the fact that, if not for his assasination, Kennedy would probably be remembered as a drug addled sex fiend and not a fiscal conservative who stood up to the Soviets. Of course, a lot of the mystique around Kennedy has nothing to do with substance at all, and is also cult of personality.
I have an idea…why not have a discussion of the real point of the submittal?
It could be:
1. modern day version of good versus evil struggle (you decide which is which)
2. the abuse of innocent children for the purpose of making money and gaining fame/power for oneself
3. something more relevant than camera angles, her hands or what your posting number is…
She is scary. So is Obama as a matter of fact. Stimulus eh? How about spending package.
Hmm, I would rather listen to Rush than this concieted witch who hates this great country of ours. Not that it will be great for long since her anti Christ husband is now running things. And the idoit that submitted this, what kind of drugs are you on? You exhibit the very signs of massive brain damage. Do you get a thrill up your leg also from your commie buddy Barry Hussein? Get a life.
‘This Great county…’ okay…
If you have access to sharps, I suggest you play with them…
Ahh, and in comes Fester with an assinine non-sequitor. How about commenting on the substance, boss? Yes, great country. I realize that as a jaded cynic, nothing is great in your world, but some of use still have a little national pride. Quite frankly, Michelle is kind of a shrew, and has demonstrated that with her words many times. What amuses me about this particular caption was that she got all butt-hurt because some toy company named their little black girl dolls after her daughters! Holy crap! Heaven forbid someone show enough positive inclination towards your daughters to want to name dolls after them! Good Lord.
That said, “NoBomma” (spelled wrong) seems to have serious case of keyboard diarrhea, and makes minimal points with maximum ramble. That seems like something worth commenting on.
She is MAD.
Prepare for it, Mrs. Obama. Look at what they said about Gov. Palin’s children. I didn’t see you running to her defense.
Uh, Rush has a bloated ass? And when it comes to illegal drug use, do the Obamas and about 90% of Democrats have the right to insult others?
Hey! Obama married a beautiful person, well educated, great job making over $100,000.00 and she can get in front of a crowd and speak brilliantly. She gave him two wonderful children and all four of them are great role models for all people. I think Michele is a cute lady for her age. She is close to fifty. I remember Barbara Bush she looked like death all pale , fat, with no makeup. Barbara look 20 years older than Bush.
This woman just looks flat out mean and nasty all the time, even pics of here smiling or laughing look insincere and contrived.
you tell him
