– Why, it’s a tag-team combination of unassailable authenticity and Otherly victimhood, is what it is!
Not that I have anything against a guy of voting age having a political viewpoint — hell, truth is, it’s refreshing to hear a white liberal admit that he’s voting for Obama because the cat happens to be both Black and articulate (can we call a differently abled person “racist”?) — but what I find astounding, really, are the commenters, who are falling all over themselves to lend gravitas to this endorsement.
It’s like watching the Seventh Sign on ketamine and despair. Without Demi Moore’s c. 1988 breasts serving as an excuse.

Who are Demi Moore’s breasts endorsing, as long as we’re on the subject?
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 5/1 @ 5:38 pm #
Um wowee. That’s just deeply, deeply, deeply disturbing in an M & M’s growing fangs as I eat them and then providing me with an “Alien” experience kind of way.
And… Demi Moore’s breasts were the only reason to watch that heaping pile of bat dreck.

You’d probably have to interview them to find out. Separately, so one doesn’t influence the other.

This is indistinguishable from the most cogent rationales I’ve been given by Obama supporters for their chosen affinities.
Comment by Jeff G. on 5/1 @ 6:14 pm #
First, I thought I made that clear in the post; second, I never called him a “tard.” Third, I thought it was also clear that my problem is with the commenters at youtube, who will brook no dissent and who have bestowed upon this particular Obama supporter a force-field of unassailability: to criticize his views is to attack the diffently abled; to agree with his views is a sure sign of tolerance and enlightenment.
Forget the fact that, as a voter with a political opinion — one that’s going viral on youtube — his views should be open to scrutiny. Again, what’s troublesome is the commenters, who are falling all over themselves to turn this guy into the DS kid in Seventh Sign.
Sorry that you’re sorry.
I ain’t.

So, you know, I ain’t sorry, either, man.
Comment by Enoch_Root - twp on 5/1 @ 6:20 pm #
Jeff – who are you apologizing to? I think it’s just retarded that the subtext is “even a tard sees he should vote for Obama”… instead of, erm, the other angle of looking at it… “birds of a feather”. The only difference is the aforementioned retarded guy really might not know any better.
Comment by Enoch_Root - twp on 5/1 @ 6:22 pm #
also, I know a retarded guy and I used to watch Life Goes On, so like I got street cred, man… I’m fucking invincible.

Dan -
you have a knack for posting some very funny stuff, but this is over the top hilarious.
OMG! Is this one of the people who will be running the country if OBWA-HA-HA-HA- ma is elected president? Did I just squirt on my leg?
I just can’t wait! Boner up to HERE!!!!
We piggy conservatives have always kind of unconciuosly known that we should vote for ANY black candidate that comes along = even if he is out of his fucking whacked out Marxist mind. It is the right thing to do, you know? I would HATE to be called a “Racist” by eighth grade pinheads.
“Forgive me, ObWA-HA-HA-HA-bama, for I have sinned!”
And, no! I am not a racist pig. As I have pointed out many times before, I am a JERKIST pig! Jerks just don’t get admitted to my super-bowl party, or anything else that I attend.
Well, to be truthful, they often do, and also, usually outnumber humans by a ten to one ratio. But I have so much fun giving them the “fish-eye”, that it almost makes up for their presence in a room that is almost free of sentient beings.
Hmmmm… Thinking humans. Also a hard thing to come by these days…

Jeff,
You actually hit on something there. Innocents really don’t see color (or they see color but see no difference), so how come this young man does? Obviously his brother has coached him to no end and it is just makes me sick.

Remind me to tell you that the reason this post is so funny is that Jeff wrote it, okay? I mean, after I’m done basking.

I’ve done ketamine with E and red wine, at an S&M club that also did this incredible dark wave house, and that was balls out. My skin felt like Jiffy-Pop and I couldn’t stop hugging strangers, many of them hostile. What’s it like with a dose of despair?
Comment by Jeff G. on 5/1 @ 7:35 pm #
Like watching Seventh Seal without the E and red wine, but with the ketamine.
Comment by MC on 5/1 @ 7:47 pm #
I thought it more like watching Best Boy on DMT and razor blades. Other than that, I’m on the same page.
Comment by Chairman Me on 5/1 @ 7:51 pm #
Really? Even ketamine couldn’t salvage that two hours of tripe. No offense to Jews, but you don’t get to be a prophet just by midwifing a poorly acted Demi Moore vehicle.
Just give me K and a backyard in which I’m technically allowed to run around in naked.

Corky!! For real, and I almost hate to admit this, but this morning I was thinking that the thing with Baracky is, he doesn’t command respect. Not really. Maybe kinda in a camp counselor kinda way. That one guy at the Boys Club or whatever. But… the Corkmeister. I’ve got some reappraising what I need to do, huh.
Comment by Uh-huh on 5/1 @ 10:48 pm #
I actually work in a group home for the developmentally disabled (That’s the proper respectful term these days). Yes, retarded folks are allowed to vote. I’ve actually been inside the voting booth with a few of our folks who needed assistance. This was permitted at the local polling place where they went. It was a bit disturbing to me actually, as the guys I took were all a bit on the really low functioning side. They were really there for one issue when I took them, one they all understood — a state bond to help with funding for group homes. They voted yes.
They all understood what they were voting for, and I didn’t have a problem with it.
What disturbed me was it was a general state election, and none of them could read, and they all trusted me. I could have easily started pulling levers for whoever *I* wanted, and no one would know.
None of the guys I brought along had a clue about who was running for what outside of the bond issue. Two of them did ask me about all the other levers, one had me read the names aloud and he just… picked.
The other wanted me to pick some for him, and I told him I really didn’t know, and he didn’t have to vote for anyone. I could have voted six extra times that night. It made me wonder about the big state school for the handicapped nearby and what all their staff was up to that night.
Since then, I actually kinda discourage our guys from voting unless they have some clue as to what it is exactly they are doing, but if they want it, they got to the polls. It’s there right.

If this kid had said nice, fun things about his admiration for McCain or God forbid GWB, can you imagine what the comments would be like on this video? As of now there are actually comments by people welcoming him into camp Obama and praising his insight and articulate political views. If he said he liked McCain the Democratic Underground regulars and their 12-15 yo comrades in arms on YouTube would be pulling out every snarky “go figure a retard likes Republicans” line on the comments section.

Well, first we have to decide which ones to interview.
The real ones, or the cementy bagish way hardish thingies that now occupy her chest?
Comment by The Lost Dog on 5/2 @ 1:25 am #
Ahhhh, nuts!
I guess I owe Demi an apology. I have just always had a problem with fake-a-tits. They look cool, but it’s like grabbimg a bag of cement (see above).
They just don’t ever MOVE, no matter what the bearer does. Even if youi hit them with a shovel!
Oh well. Sometimes I feel like such a savage!
And BTW, as long as I am talking about Demi and personal shit. What’s up with Bruce Willis taking the last local bar in Sun Valley and driving it straight into the ground with a sledgehammer?
Nice play, Shakespeare.

Benedick,
Sake packs the same punch, but takes a lot longer to knock your socks off, and is therefore, more enjoyable, in my twisted little mind.
Second:
Jeff and Dan –
I owe you both an apology, and the reason is – see above.
Comment by Sean M. on 5/2 @ 1:47 am #
You’ve…uhh…tried that?
It’s just that you sound like someone speaking from experience.
Comment by The Lost Dog on 5/2 @ 3:16 am #
“It’s just that you sound like someone speaking from experience”
Well the shovel thing was straight out of my twisted sense of humor.
But I did “know” a girl who was absolutely beautiful and quite hot, but she decided that her breasts weren’t big enough. And, yes, the truth is, they DON’T EVER move after they are implanted with whatever that stuff is that they stick inside there. This woman eventually had “whatever that crap was” removed.
I hate to be uncharitable, but they were a huge bummer, and really did remind me of bags of cement.
And I apoligize to all the women here whom I might have offended, but he asked. And it’s also true. Just don’t bother with that baloney if you really care about who you are, instead of who you want to be.
We are who we are, and a scalpel really can’t change that. If it could, I would have fixed so many things by now…
Sorry to be so nuts, sometimes…

Except, of course, there is that (liberal) idea that widsom pours from the mouths of innocents and children. In which case, I think we should get a bunch of grade school children together and have ‘em solve the mortgage crises.
