(no subject)
so before the old "elitist" "bitter" "race baiting" "weatherman" "flip flop" "al gore said he invented the internet" non-news bullshit machine cranks up about Obama supposedly giving hillary the finger (to which interpretation of that video, i just have to say, are you fucking people on crack?), I want to go on record with this YouTube link:
also, in case any on has forgotten, it wasn't so long ago that Dick Cheney told Patrick Leahy to go fuck himself on the floor of the senate during an interview with a Senate panel.
Finally, I like the word fuck. I like the finger. I think it's a glorious bit of nonverbal communication and have made extensive use of it since discovering it's magical powers at the age of 7.
The questions I have to ask here, are 1.) Do people really think Barack Obama is a fucking Moron? Because seriously, somebody in his position, who has been relentlessly hounded by bullshit non-issues for weeks of slow news cycles, would have to be a complete fucking moron to stand up in front of a group of people and flip the bird. You can't have it both ways you fucking lunatics. He can't at one time be a slick magical negro here to drive us down the drain with his empty but "well spoken" rhetoric and then turn around and accuse him of making a gaff this big. 2.) Have you ever seen someone flip somebody off before? It's one finger extended, three others folded back. Not this:
That, as anyone can clearly see is not the bird. that's a man scratching his face.

Reading the comments around the internet about this "controversy" have me really annoyed. A lot of these comments I think are really starting to show the crypto-racism that's involved in a lot of anti-obama stuff. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if some whack job Hillary Clinton partisan flat out called him a dumb nigger. Because seriously, that's what this all amounts to. One loon out there even thinks that there's a coded gesture in Barack Obama symbolically brushing the dirt off his shoulders as a sort of shout out to Jay-Z. Really? Are you people fucking serious?
Fuck you all for being such fucking idiots that you are making this an issue when there are so many important things you could be talking about.

Seriously? I mean seriously? Even if he'd grabbed his crotch and done a big spin move executing a perfectly choreograpphed double bird straight at the camera, so WHAT?! Do you have any idea how many people are dead in Iraq? How much wealth has shifted from the middle class to the rich? How big the national debt is? How much of that is owned by China? The size of the stranglehold that lobbyists have over congress and that insurance companies have over health care? Are you people out of your god damn minds?
