There seems to be no low to which President Obama will sink in his desperate attempt to win reelection. One has to wonder, is there any point at which the main stream media and the public get some self-respect and toss out this loser? First he asked for your wedding gifts, then your yard sales and now he has asked for your daughters.One pictures the brethren holed up in a shack under assault by the forces of Barack Obama, ready to dash out the brains of Lillian Gish ere she be breached.

THEY'LL DO IT EVERY TIME. I enjoyed Tbogg's roundup of conservatives enraged at Lena Dunham's ad (and was surprised to see that, even after eight weeks of strangling a sex doll with Elizabeth Warren's picture taped to its head, Professor Jacobson had enough jam left to contribute). But it was missing a crucial element -- the element of overt Ooga Booga -- which RedState has been kind enough to provide:

I have to admit that I am astonished that no rightwinger with a mic has used the N-word openly. Back in 20078, I figured it was inevitable, but the closest we came was, "Oh, there's a videotape that's be sequestered in Norway of Michele Obama saying 'whitey!'"
ReplyDeleteBut this time around, it seems like the magic word is just back of their incisors at all times. They just won't let it out. (Although they'll intimate every other racial thing they can dream up.)
A Mandingo ate my baby!
ReplyDeleteredstate: what you saw wasn't lena.
ReplyDeletetbogg: but it was, i tell you!
redstate: what you saw was a buck wearin' lena's dress. i found lena back in the canyon. wrapped her in my coat, buried her with my own hands. i thought it best to keep it from ya.
tbogg: did they...? was she...?
redstate: what do you want me to do? draw you a picture? spell it out? okay, i will.
Does this mean I have to start liking Lena Dunham?
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be no low to which President Obama will sink...
ReplyDeleteReassuring that even Redstaters appreciate that the President is taking the high road.
That reminds me of how loudly the teabaggers weren't saying 'The Jews' (lust for Likudniki aside).
ReplyDeleteInglish iz hard!
ReplyDeleteOh, I think the Trike Force see themselves as the saviors in the white sheets.
ReplyDeleteBut not for public attribution.
It's not really related, but I want to go on record here saying that the Zhdanov Brigade are going to pile on the movie "Flight", which is evidently about a black pilot landing a severely damaged plane and then getting criticised for not doing it perfectly, as preëlection pro-Obama propaganda ('PreProObePro', as they called it during the N. E. P. ).
ReplyDeleteThis just in: uptighty whitey takes comedienne's video as literally as possible. No film at 11, or ever.
ReplyDelete"Premature Anti-Fascists" are indeed living in interesting times. . .
ReplyDeleteThankfully, no.
ReplyDelete"I bet Obama was drunk when he made the call to take out Bin Laden too!!!"
ReplyDeleteAt best it'll be a five minute video on PJTV.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it--does she talk about the president's dick like G. Gordy Liddy did about the flight suit? Because then I might watch it.
ReplyDeleteSo, a young person suggesting that voting for the first time is a profoundly important event that separates the children from the adults is a bad thing, because it makes the Nut Parade think about having sex with Obama.
ReplyDeleteSober they are not.
Apparently they have no idea that they appear to have such a pressing need to be fucked by a black man that they can't think straight.
A Venezuelan organization last year made an ad using the same theme to try to get young people to regiter and vote in the recent presidential election. It includes a bunch of youths talking about "my first time." Added naughty-naughty bonus: in Venezuela after you cast your vote you have to dip your finger in purple indelible ink.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fascinating read. Thank you for linking to it.
ReplyDeleteSo they think Lena Dunham could not possibly have made that video on her own? It was at the orders of the Obama administration?
ReplyDeleteNaw, that's not sexist at all.
That isn't not a double negative, no it is?
ReplyDeleteYou're too hard on the brethern, Roy. They're not anti-sex; they just have their preferences.
ReplyDeleteJim Hoft's blog presently features multiple shots of the Naked Cowboy's ass.
I think what I've found over the years as a main difference between who I consider normal people* (*Note: I wouldn't consider most of my friends normal, but normal to me) and who I consider conservatives are found simply in senses of humor. I've met some uptight liberals, oh my fuck have I, but conservatives laugh at crippled kids for not being able to reach a shelf (or jail them for farting -- see Atrios' front page for the nauseating details) but find actually clever things offensive.
ReplyDeleteThis is clearly a joke! It's a funny spot! They aren't mad that they couldn't pull something like that off so much as they are outraged someone could.
You might have missed the bumperstickers: "Don't Re-Nig is 2012".
ReplyDeleteWasn't Obama's mother a Dunham? Maybe they're related. Incest!
ReplyDeleteThat was actually meant to read "Ren-ig," which as everyone knows...
ReplyDelete...Okay, I got nothin'.
It means to behave more like Stimpy.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I did not miss them. Early in September, I was at a sky-diving event in Deland, Florida and found myself surrounded by troglodytes talking excitedly about how much better the country would be when "that hamster" is out of the White House. One of these people was wearing a "Don't Re-Nig 2012" T-shirt.
ReplyDeleteAt best there will be no PJTV video, ever. At worst ... no, let's leave that unexplored. With the upcoming hurricane, there may be brain bleach shortages.
ReplyDeleteYou know the real outrage about Dunham's ad? No Foreigner playing in the background.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since bacon and Play-Doh got some mockery.

Attention Carroll Dunham, an old black ram is tupping your white ewe!
ReplyDeleteI noticed over at Balloon Juice, of all places, that a few (older, male) commentesr were really a bit disgusted with the ad spot. I, on the other hand, thought it was adorable. Of course, I have teenage daughters and I don't have either sex hangups or humor hangups, or voting hangups, so the juxtaposition of young woman/sexy talk/voting just doesn't strike me as anything other than, well, delightful.
ReplyDeleteThere is really something odd about a lot of Americans--regardless of their political leanings, which wants to turn voting into almost something grim, bitter, and punitive. The right wing wants to make it as unpleasant as possible to keep the riff raff from doing it (they were enraged at Rock the Vote and all earlier youth outreach) and the left wing (to the extent it even talks about voting for a major party candidate at this point) wants to see it as a demeaning, foolish, pursuit of an illusion of democratic choice in a system without choice. I'm sure that both sides of the old fart aisle find the ad equally distasteful--one because young people shouldn't vote for democratic candidates gleefully and the other side because young people shouldn't...vote for democratic candidates gleefully.
It occurs to me that my teenage daughters have grown up in a period of extreme political struggle between Democrats and Republicans but that their version of what it is to be a Democrat is to have your party battle for stuff that is pretty important, be led by an incredibly cool young family of intellectuals and activists, be represented by a President and First Lady they really respect.
This generation of Democratic voters (born at the turn of the century or just before) have a totally different sense of what the Democratic Party could stand for. And they are really, really, revolted by the ageism, sexism, misogyny, and just plain bitchery of the right wing. This ad speaks to that and speaks to them. It doesn't really matter if it freaks out the old guys.

"I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time,
ReplyDeletebecause I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts
for a minute and then it feels just great."

(h/t TPM)
"I noticed over at Balloon Juice, of all places, that a few (older, male)
ReplyDeletecommentesr were really a bit disgusted with the ad spot."
Well, I had an initial worrywart reaction that it might be a little bit much for some mushy-middle undecideds who would otherwise be sympathetic to Democratic appeals, given that this is America. And the response from presumably progressive (mostly non-regular?) Balloon Juice commenters reinforced that. Then I heard a voice upon the wind, reminiscent of the late Jack Palance: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke."
You know, it just struck me that all of the voter fraud foofaraw could have been fixed with a few hundred thousand dollars of purple ink. If it's good enough for the Iraqi people it should be good enough for us too.
ReplyDeleteMakes you think that maybe they weren't trying to solve voter fraud after all.
This is a brilliant take, and keeps my hopes for the future positive. Thanks aimai.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No more dislike/down button? Fascism!!
ReplyDeleteDid someone say "old fart"? Get off my fucking lawn, you sex-crazed little baaaastids! What? Never mind then. But fuck off anyway. Nap time.
ReplyDeleteThere is really something odd about a lot of Americans--regardless of their political leanings, which wants to turn votingevery goddam joy in life into almost something grim, bitter, and punitive. FTFY
ReplyDeletekia
You had me worried there for a minute. The 'dislike' was a test.
ReplyDelete> There seems to be no low to which
ReplyDelete> President Obama will sink,
What kind of human being could really believe that Obama asked for or approved of this ad?
I thought it was adorable and disgusting at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think Failn' Palin is going to explode soon if she doesn't say it. She got awful close with the Shuck and Jive shit.
ReplyDeleteHe had them made about 6 months ago geraldfnord. By going back there in his time machine last week. That's how he knew the answers to Mittens' questions also and too
ReplyDeleteSo if voting for the first time is...well, is refusing to vote akin to choking the chicken?
ReplyDeleteNo shit. It's so obvious now that you've said it that it's kind of spooky.... however, I mailed by ballot yesterday and really do like the mail-in ballots here in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteIf the Puritan pap about having left England because "freedumb" rather than because they were impossible to live with was a dominant gene it might have been wiped completely out by now. Unfortunately, it has a recessive quality that allows it to continue festering until every four years it erupts into rashness itself.
ReplyDeleteOnly if one flatters oneself with an "argument" for not voting.
ReplyDeleteI was just listening to an audiobook lecture on Shakespeare which pointed out that his Puritan character, Malvolio, has a name that means "Evil Will" -- or to put it in slightly more modern terms, "Bad Faith". Seems about right.
ReplyDeleteLube...lots of it--take it from Randolph Scott's ex-roommate.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if all voters were given a choice of using a voting "machine" or a paper ballot. I bet most people would opt for the paper ballot. I would.
ReplyDeleteI haven't visited Balloon Juice in years.
ReplyDeleteYou're also helped by not being fatally humor-challenged. I mean Dunham's movies and TV show tend toward cringe comedy, but this bit is pretty openly lighthearted. (And contains more than a grain of truth, as is often the case with good comedy.)
ReplyDeleteApparently they have no idea that they appear to have such a pressing need to be fucked by a black man that they can't think straight.
ReplyDeleteHow did Trump ever control himself when Dennis Rodman was on Celebrity Apprentice?
"Wheah the white wimmen at?"
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be my finger?
ReplyDeleteNow that's drunk dialing with a vengeance.

The Puritans in Ben Jonson's comedies are just one form of grifters and hucksters in a great age of grifters and hucksters. In The Alchemist there's a preacher with the wonderful name "Tribulation Wholesome."
ReplyDeleteYou know, when I think about my own first presidential vote -- Clinton '92 -- I find this pretty apt. The only difference is that for me it felt a lot like Bill was the one doing the voting (if you know what I mean and I don't know if I do but surely there's some sort of joke one could make about this).
ReplyDeleteThe vote that felt best -- Nader '00 -- is the one I find most difficult to talk about. Ain't it ever thus?
In the video one of the youths says, "I put my my finger in--just the tip. It was warm and wet and felt very really good."
ReplyDeleteImagine that on US TV.
Hey Amai, I'm Uncle Ebeneezer, over at BJ.
ReplyDeleteWhat's strangest about this (in addition to the unexpected prudishness of Balloon Juicers) is that I found the sex angle of the video to be pretty tame. I almost would not have even made the connection. And I have a pretty dirty mind, and usually see sex in everything. But this was pretty cute and innocent. If I had a daughter and she did that ad, I would not be in the least concerned.
The other irony is that these same wing nut blowhards who have their panties all in a bunch about this, are many of the same characters who have written columns about how proud they were to pull their "first lever" for Nixon or St. Ronnie. I'm pretty sure without even googling that there is a Peggy Noonan Penthouse letter out there about the squee she felt when voting for Reagan.
FOUR!! blogs which tell of the exxxcitement of A-L-L Heaven has to offer, which is an eternity of pleasure-beyond-measure: we ROTE {theeyebeam} to show a true story about sex in Heaven after we croak (apparently, most of U.S. are completely unaware of this fact). C'mon, people. The Liar's a deceiver: absolutely no sex in Hell amid the flames and filth, yet, puh-lenty of sex Upstairs for the length and breadth of eternity. God bless you.
