— 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.
(h/t RWS)
Who are Demi Moore’s breasts endorsing, as long as we’re on the subject?
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.
Bruce Willis.

PUNK’D!
NYT: OBAMA WINS KEY DOWN’S SYNDROME LOBBY ENDORSEMENT
“McCain Wins Presidency: Women, Children, Differently Abled Hardest Hit”
You did notice the problem with Hillary, right? “She’s white.”
Who are Demi Moore’s breasts endorsing, as long as we’re on the subject?
You’d probably have to interview them to find out. Separately, so one doesn’t influence the other.
Tard Pimping… a new fucking all-time low.
RWS —
Innocents don’t see color. Only hope.
HOW DARE YOU!
Sorry, guys, but the “tard” has reasons that are just as good as many Americans’.
Hillary’s WHITE?!?!?!
She doesn’t stand a chance.
This is indistinguishable from the most cogent rationales I’ve been given by Obama supporters for their chosen affinities.
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.
Jeff, I was talking to Enoch.
I’m sorry. But Definition 3 sorry. Not regretful.
So, you know, I ain’t sorry, either, man.
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.
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.
Which, by the way, Jeff — strictly speaking, I don’t think Down’s Syndrome is viral, technically. More genetic.
I’m also drinking Jack Daniels and watching hockey, so my sensitivity valve may be stuck on “shut.”
Yeah, I know, Enoch. I’m just saying that tards generally have so much more integrity than proggs. That’s all I’m trying to say.
Site’s been down all day. So this is me and 8 potato vodka martinis talking.
As you wur.
And I’m never having kids, because they shouldn’t suffer Karma’s wrath on my account.
Dan – you’re like profiling, man.
Tommy: Tell Leroux I don’t take it personally.
Thug: Shit Tommy, he knows that.
You like Miller’s Crossing almost as much as I do, don’t you Dan?
Almost? I think it’s the best plotted movie of the last 25 years.
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…
When everyone is special, no one is special. Except for me, because I said so.
That’s “I’m sorry you’re too stupid to agree with me.” isn’t it?
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.
TLD,
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?
Like watching Seventh Seal without the E and red wine, but with the ketamine.
I thought it more like watching Best Boy on DMT and razor blades. Other than that, I’m on the same page.
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.
So wrong, on so many levels.
Anybody up for fishing?
BTW, I saw MO on Viera’s show this morning.
That woman comes off just like an angry bat.
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.
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.
The 2008 definition of ‘RACIST’ is anyone who is WINNING an ARGUMENT with a LIBERAL.
The only known species on earth whose powers of reasoning are ” NOT ” improved by the benefit of hindsight– Liberals

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?
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.
Okay. I have a couple of rekated things to say.
First:
” Comment by Benedick on 5/1 @ 6:23 pm #

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.
You’ve…uhh…tried that?
It’s just that you sound like someone speaking from experience.
“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…
Rumor is Emo Phillips will be endorsing Barack today. The super delegate levy is about to break, party people.
Rambo’s endorsing Hillary today because, you know, she has Big Brass Ones.
Rambo versus Emo? Now there’s a celebrity death match.
HOw could anyone have thought that video was a good idea? It wobbles the mind.
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.
dudeist of dudes: that was cute!
Dan, he be “Downsie” but full of wisdom. He makes david mamet look like a retard imo.
I am starting to think thor might have an edge over my McCain hedge: Obama 42.2;McCain 39; Clinton 16.3 not that I have any money to gamble.
thx happy for alerting us to Obama’s being on Meet the Press next Sunday for the whole session. Could be make or break for him there.
Carin!
Thus, my point is illustrated.
datadave or Corky?
The protein wisdom equivalent of a Turing test.
I was wrong. I didn’t think it was possible to go down below “dumber than sand”, but dave is, if you’ll excuse me, breaking new ground here.
We have come full circle. First thor started spoofing ddave and couldn’t stop. Now ddave is spoofing thor.
Eventually we’ll have whole threads of the two of them spoofing each other, and we’ll find ourselves wondering where actus went.
I’ve not seen where Max Headroom has endorsed Obama yet. That, I believe, will be the tipping point. I’m holding out for Max Headroom.
I wonder which way H R Pufnstuf is going to go? Sen. Obama is my guess.
Eventually, we’ll wonder which one of them is actus, and which is his retarded brother.
And it’ll be a trick question.
I was going to say that his views are no different than any other liberal voting for Obama. Except that they think it would have been okay to abort him.
