Yeah.
To say that Daily Kos has gone batshit insane during the past 24 hours would be something of an understatement. President Obama held that press conference last night, essentially confessing that his idea of the word "compromise" is "complete fucking capitulation", and Dkos predictably exploded, littering the intertoobz with heads, torsos, spray-on tans of various kinds, and something that looks suspiciously like butter-flavored Crisco.
I have, never before, been witness to so very many spectacularly suckass campaign slogans during the past 24. I feel like I'm starring on a reality show with Kiefer Sutherland, and my job is to document this shit or we're all gonna die!
It is a thing of sheer, poignant beauty, these constant epic fails, and I felt the need to capture them all in one place. The cognitive dissonance is stunning, so get your laugh (or cry) on below the squiggly pretty thing.
(Yes, these are all taken from real, live, stupidass comments or diaries. I swear. I swear on books Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon, Alien, Hindu, Scientology, Jehovah's Witness, and on the Wild, Wild Whisper of the Witchy Wind. Or something.)
(And, pathetically, all within the past 24 hours. Oy friggin' vey.)
Hey hey! Vote Obama/Biden 2012 YAY!
obama doesn't represent the white people, cuz only the black people voted for him.
Betwayal! Err, sorry, your Victim Tourette's seems to be rubbing off on me.
If Dems stay home in 2012, the Congress will get more Teabaggers with more power. And more crazy bills to come with nobody to stop them.
Say all you want about Dems (rightly so )but you have to admit they manage quite well to stop Tbaggers so far
But the guy's not evil. You have to get over yourselves.
waaaaa!!!! Obama made me stay home!!! Waaaaaa!!!!
I have only one thing to say: 2010 midterms.
Try to spend a fraction of your time pouncing on the Republicans you are technically aiding by throwing President Obama under the bus. That would be what I would call a progressive movement, showing what they really stand for.
Don't forget the limitation of some folks.
Who are you to dictate how someone accepts the deal, and because someone decides to look to the positives of it why does that cause insult?
I find the criticizers equally insulting and to be perfectly frank the unhinged and actually poorly nuanced criticisms are more than dangerous in this society.
Enjoy whatever position of privilege allows you to be so callous and ideological.
Why must you shit on my dreams?
Now You're Irrelevant. Happy?
The President doesn't listen to you, Congress doesn't listen to you, the media doesn't listen to you, the courts don't listen to you, and now people on the front lines of affecting change through activism don't listen to you.
You've turned concerns into anxieties, anxieties into grievances, grievances into grudges, and then grudges into self-justifying religious blood libels against the Democratic Party and all who come within a country mile of serving in it. You hate us more than you hate Republicans.
you just can not pretend like spitting in the face of some progress, because it is 'not enough ' is going to get you more progress
It is an old stereotype but it is annoying the the intellectual liberal elite do seem to look down their noses at 'others'.
you vote for President, and sit back and just wait for everything to fall in place. It isn't that simple.
I don't owe you a thing and I am not obligated to dignify your smears because you chose not to take my word in good faith.
I would say that the PResident has pulled off a pretty spectacular compromise. Can we now say that compromise is the new black. :)
Don't assume that I am lecturing you. I am disappointed in you.
The undertone is pretty obvious. The animal magnitism of a black man in a suit is just so you know distracting.
there will be an echo chamber of liberal martyrs that will always remain totally ineffectual and oblivious to their own lack of accountability.
You know what I mean wink wink I call him the big O for a reason. Right on sister. Love the gutter talk.
I dream about him every night. I don't care what he does, I just want to clap and clap for my Obama.
Ya know, I could go on and on and fucking on here, but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I can't really stomach some of this crap, truly. It's all just too much.
But, whatever, hey hey! Vote Obama/Biden 2012 YAY! I am SO feeling the love, aren't you?
