And a shiny and happy good morning to you, too.

Ah, nothing like starting my four-day weekend by hearing one of my best friends, an avowed Republican, refer to my personal favorite presidential candidate as "Hussein Obama."

*sigh*

The fail, it attacks Tokyo.

Oh, how witty. Yuk yuk yuk. Way to recite a talking point Faux News started over 6 months ago.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's one way to make yourself sound smart -- by weakly implying that Obama is a terrorist.

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* That is a tremendous amount of fail, yes.

You just have to retaliate by calling the Republican candidate "that warmonger, Sidney McCain". *grin*

Clinton's the only one with a better middle name than a first name. Her middle name is Diane.

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what's up with the American political arena when people are judged by their middle names or what their names sound vaguely like, rather that the content of their policies?

*sigh* "Soundbite America" sucks.

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

In Obama's case, I think it's just the neocons trying to scare America into believing that a characteristically Islamic middle name = Islamic faith = sympathy with Arabs = terrorist. Some of the fundies have even gone one better than that and have started an e-mail proclaiming the man to be the prophesied Antichrist.

Take a look at all the urban legends starting about Obama:

Trust me, I think I've heard most of 'em, given that I've been an Obama supporter almost since before Edwards dropped out of the race. Typical neocon tactics -- use fear and distortion to spook those who don't have the time or interest to follow politics all that closely into the viewpoints they want.

"We report, you decide." Feh. *eyeroll*

[beck-liz.livejournal.com]

*eyeroll* Yeah, because he's so totally a Muslim hiding his TRUE faith behind a façade of Christianity. </sarcasm>

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot to mention that he said this right after we walked past the newspaper box and he made a derisive comment about a news story about Obama denouncing Reverend Wright's statements. So one second he's a Christian and literally the very next second he's OH SO MUSLIM. *headsmack*

[siberian-skys.livejournal.com]

That just never gets old. *eye roll* Is it asking too much of the Republicans to expect them to get a new song every once in a while?

[wrenlet.livejournal.com]

They're already starting to call him the favored candidate of Hamas, so... apparently, yes. That IS too much to expect. *fumes*

[siberian-skys.livejournal.com]

That just--what is wrong with the right wing?

[lots42.livejournal.com]

Wow, because that actually makes sense.

"Hi, I'm Senator John McCain. I have recently learned several cannibals from Oregon State Prison support me. This means I eat people."

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

I think they figure that as long as the same old song and dance keep suckering in the rubes, why change?

[tripoli8.livejournal.com]

My uncle, who really is a decent guy, called me up the other weekend to tell me all about how it's "all over the internet" that Obama is bisexual and was involved in the murder of a male ex-lover, and the McCain campaign knows all about it and they're just waiting till the primaries are over to give it to the media.

(...Where do you even start, right?)

Though my uncle and his wife also have a picture of a young George W. Bush in a flight suit hanging in their bathroom, so I guess it could be worse.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I was ordering food at work the one night and had to use one of the phones in the office cubicles. I was halfway through the call when I realized that taped up on the cubicle wall next to one another were two pictures, one of Bush and one of Jesus.

I honestly had to stop ordering specifically to laugh.

Back in 2004, the Sunday after the Doomsday, I let Dad convince me to go to church with him. (Still have no clue why, but whatever.)

The sermon had NOTHING to do with the Bible. It was all "Election this" and "Christ has spoken" and "Thank Jesus for Bush."

~_~;;

[eh-notsomuch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we didn't really need that "separation of church and state."

[lots42.livejournal.com]

The existence of any pictures of humans in the bathroom weird me out

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

So what we need now is to research despots and tyrants named George and/or John, so we can just reply back with those names attached to Bush and/or McCain, since Republican logic says your name defines who you really are.

[almogv.livejournal.com]

Well the English seem to like to name they're kings with those names and a bunch of them were assholes. I think you're covered.

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

Charles (if it gets left to him), is rumoured to be using his middle name instead of being King Charles (SAY GOODBYE TO HIS HEAD) the Third.
It's Arthur.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I would never stop laughing if that happened.

[octan.livejournal.com]

Prince John the phony king of America!

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

The fail, it attacks Tokyo.

Am I allowed to toss this part on metaquotes?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah, sure, go ahead. :)

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

Ugh, I have a coworker who does that. But he's entirely without class in every single aspect of life (stares at seventeen year-old girls and openly refers to them as meat; he's fifty), so.

[lots42.livejournal.com]

The fail includes the fact that the most infamous Hussein is DEAD DEAD DEAD. Omg lord.

[mog-bane.livejournal.com]

The next time someone mentions the Obama=Terrorist angle to me, I just wanna say "Well yeah!? You smell like boogers you poopy head!" because that is about how mature they are being.

[carinn.livejournal.com]

(hi i found this through MetaQuotes)
your quote is awesome :D
that's just as bad as what my Mother In Law's husband calls him and Hillary; "Osama Obama" and "Hitler-y"
