“Obama’s Godless Thanksgiving” Fake Outrage Meme Spreads Rapidly Through Wingnut Media

I'm not worried about The Usurper. I think the Masons have their All Seeing Eyes on him. And I wonder how many Secret Service agents are closet members?

But you know, one reason that I vote Republican is because they have a machine behind their Pres. Advisers that tell their guy not to make all the petty mistakes that B.O. seems to have a penchant for. Like name pronunciations. Teleprompter gaffes, bowing to foreigners, and the way Mrs. B.O. dresses. Hey, remember how the Reps bought new dresses for Palin?

So what happened with Romney then? Cause dude was like, foot in mouth the entire election, and lost his ass at least partly because of it. I guess that machine don't work so good huh?

[Cue you reciting your imaginary scenario about how if you change just the right numbers, Romney could have won, and cue me repeating "Yeah, and if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle."]

ODS out in full force today, I see.

Like name pronunciations.

I don't care.

Quote:

Teleprompter

a) Fiction. b) I don't care who uses a teleprompter and who doesn't.

Quote:

bowing to foreigners

He's the President, not the Holy Emperor. Let's keep it that way. Pretending that a bow is a big deal is a bad case of "AMERICA **** YEAH" syndrome; we ain't nothin' so special that we should never show respect to anyone else.

Quote:

and the way Mrs. B.O. dresses. Hey, remember how the Reps bought new dresses for Palin?

Hey, remember how Palin was running for VP and Mrs. BO isn't running for anything? Yeah, me too. But let's be honest, Mrs. BO could show up topless with a sign reading "TITS OOT FOR SATAN" and I wouldn't care. She ain't the one with the job.

But you keep on keepin' on with that stock GOP thinkin'. It'll make more Tea Party tears in 2014 for me to drink.

Giordano · 24th November 2012, 09:43 AM

If you look at Obama's actual remarks, he lists as one of our blessings the ability to worship as one pleases, and uses the term, "but for the grace of God."

Apparently only a government establishment of THEIR own religion would please the right wing nuts.

Hey, that whole "B.O." thing is pretty good - worthy of third-grade playground insult rhetoric.

Quote:

Nancy Reagan's wardrobe consisted of dresses, gowns, and suits made by luxury designers, including James Galanos, Bill Blass and Oscar de la Renta. Her white, hand-beaded, one shoulder Galanos 1981 inaugural gown was estimated to cost $10,000 while the overall price of her inaugural wardrobe was said to cost $25,000. She favored the color red, calling it "a picker-upper", and wore it accordingly. Her wardrobe included red so often that the fire-engine shade became known as "Reagan red". She employed two private hairdressers who would style her hair on a regular basis in the White House.

Obama: Thank God for our blessings

Right-wing cranks: How offensive, you didn't say Jesus Christ, you're supposed to say Jesus Christ.

Obama: We thank Jesus Christ for our blessings.

Right-wing cranks: How offensive. You didn't say Jesus Christ, crucified, dead, and resurrected.

Obama: Jesus Christ, crucified, dead, and resurrected.

Right-wing cranks: It sounds offensive when Obama says it because he is a Muslim.

So a majority of Catholics voted for Obama and a majority of Protestants voted for Romney; but it’s the Catholics who are the bad guys.
Of course, no Protestant leader in the entire country attacked the President. Or is it that Catholics are hypocrites who don’t follow the teachings of their own Church?

ConspiRaider · 24th November 2012, 06:41 PM

Hoo boy.

Quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So then: If the United States Congress (which makes laws) shall NOT make any law that establishes one or more state religions, and shall NOT stop folks from practicing any religion they damned well please (or choosing to practice NO religion):

How in the world is the President of the United States (who does NOT make laws) going to execute a law which CANNOT be made?

I heard a right-wing radio talk-show about victims' rights. A caller angrily asked why do criminals even have rights. Even the most casual reading of the Bill of Rights shows that 40% of the amendments provide very specific rights for people who have committed a crime.

Cain · 24th November 2012, 09:58 PM

Via LGF, the Daily Caller article:

Quote:

The president’s call to unite behind his administration follows a bitter election, in which his opponent, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, won independents 50 to 45 percent, and whites 59 to 39 percent.

I love this kind of ****. It's subtly suggesting Obama's something other than a middle-of-the-roader. He didn't win independents or whites (the latter making up 99.993% of The Daily Caller's readers.

Wow, you are less cynical than I am. I thought the purpose was to remind readers that once upon a time only whites could vote and things were great. Giving the vote to minorities allowed a candidate to promise gifts to the minorities and thus win the election.

ETA: some might read that and state the previously unstated assertion "Look, I am not saying blacks should not have a vote; I am just saying a black vote should not count as much as a white vote. The U.S. Constitution used a three-fifths ratio - maybe today a black person's vote should be worth 3/5 of a white person's vote. Romney would have won."

She favored the color red, calling it "a picker-upper", and wore it accordingly. Her wardrobe included red so often that the fire-engine shade became known as "Reagan red". She employed two private hairdressers who would style her hair on a regular basis in the White House.

They want everyone to worship the same way they do. Yes, I've seen this game before. Obama: Thank God for our blessings Right-wing cranks: How offensive, you didn't say Jesus Christ, you're supposed to say Jesus Christ. Obama: We thank Jesus Christ for our blessings. Right-wing cranks: How offensive. You didn't say Jesus Christ, crucified, dead, and resurrected. Obama: Jesus Christ, crucified, dead, and resurrected. Right-wing cranks: It sounds offensive when Obama says it because he is a Muslim.

So a majority of Catholics voted for Obama and a majority of Protestants voted for Romney; but it’s the Catholics who are the bad guys. Of course, no Protestant leader in the entire country attacked the President. Or is it that Catholics are hypocrites who don’t follow the teachings of their own Church?

Quote: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. So then: If the United States Congress (which makes laws) shall NOT make any law that establishes one or more state religions, and shall NOT stop folks from practicing any religion they damned well please (or choosing to practice NO religion): How in the world is the President of the United States (who does NOT make laws) going to execute a law which CANNOT be made? Wingnuts: Have you actually read the U.S. Constitution?

The sad news is that canyonfuls of Americans believe pretty much the same thing... I heard a right-wing radio talk-show about victims' rights. A caller angrily asked why do criminals even have rights. Even the most casual reading of the Bill of Rights shows that 40% of the amendments provide very specific rights for people who have committed a crime.

He didn't win independents or whites (the latter making up 99.993% of The Daily Caller's* readers.

Wow, you are less cynical than I am. I thought the purpose was to remind readers that once upon a time only whites could vote and things were great. Giving the vote to minorities allowed a candidate to promise gifts to the minorities and thus win the election. ETA: some might read that and state the previously unstated assertion "Look, I am not saying blacks should not have a vote; I am just saying a black vote should not count as much as a white vote. The U.S. Constitution used a three-fifths ratio - maybe today a black person's vote should be worth 3/5 of a white person's vote. Romney would have won."

Apparently only a government establishment of THEIR own religion would please the right wing nuts. This ^ The religious fundamentalists who form much of the core of the right-wing think religious freedom means "my freedom to impose my religion [fundamentalist Christianity] on everyone else."
