Obama courts the deaf vote

[tongodeon]

I'm not sure what the context is or whether it's intentional, but Obama might be courting the deaf vote with the ILY sign in this image. Obama's already got our vote on that point since he has a clearly articulated policy on disability while McCain does not.

Why would someone even try to suggest this?

It seems like you're really having a hard time internalizing the idea that some people politicians are pathological liars.

See, I'd just be all, "Wow, Obama is TOTALLY METAL."

See, I figured that Palin was just throwing the horns. You know ol' Todd must be a major metalhead--I mean, isn't metal Real American?

And on my friends list, this post came right after Rone's post of the "people praying to the golden Merrill Lynch bull" photo.

And if you sign it with the left hand, it's a secret Muslim Masonic symbol!

My favorite moonbat conservative deaf republican blog (okay, there's only one, but it can still be a favorite, right?) is
DeafRepublicans2008, and they also explored the issue of politicians flashing the 'I love you' sign.

Sadly Deaf Republicans 2008 Godwinned themselves recently, which was a real shame because they had a rather off kilter but endearing brand of vitrol with hyperbole, dead horse whipping, and a patented leap-for-the-throat ad hominem fighting style in any of the comments in any blog post if someone dissents. You might disagree with their stance on the issues, but gosh darn it, they're frequently going off-message for AMERICA

Unless, of course, you're a socialist with a too-small American Flag lapel pin or something.

Nitpick: Obama wore a flag pin in all three debates. McCain did not.

Socialist? Only if you absolutely believe in "spreading the wealth" from the bottom up...

Although I see the author's point in DR2008 not exactly "godwin'ned" though he makes it clear on that aspect.
