That must be spidy meeting Obama outside a CBC meeting where Obama found proof positive the AIDS virus was invented by GW


by CM

It’s hard to pass up the comments on the web-version of a newspaper, USA Today, that so embodies “lowest common denominator” that its print version is delivered daily to hotel room doors around the country. But when that article is about President-Elect Obama being featured in a Spider-Man comic, the comments are just too hilarious to pass up.

Comments seem to fall into a few different categories: Bush-bashing, reverse Bush-bashing/liberal baiting, pedantry, and insanity. But as you’ll see, there are quite a few that fit into the other categories that also fit into insanity.

Bush Bashing

I’m hoping they print it in a large format, so the people who are currently losing their jobs and homes as this little feel-good farce of a presidency gets underway will have something comfy to sleep on …
Maybe they’ll do a George W. Bush retrospective and show how the jobs and home losses came to be.

Hey what do you know, another article that bitter people can trash Obama on for no other reason than retribution for the persecution of their last president’s blundering administration.

Reverse Bush-Bashing/Liberal Baiting

That must be spidy meeting Obama outside a CBC meeting where Obama found proof positive the AIDS virus was invented by GW.

Who new Obama was a cartoon character? Everyone else told me he was the “messiah”!! Now I’m really confused.

It totally works – they’re both fictional superheros.

what do you expect. a liberal commie indoctrinating kids thru childrens books and comics.
everywhere you go,you see this studdering buffoon.

Pedantry

(these first three appear to be a conversation)

This from the guy whose company put out an issue with the Punisher threatening to kill a drunken, evil Bush 43. Liar.

Cite, please.

Late 2001, Punisher series vol.4. I want to say issue #5, but don’t have the comic here to verify.

I’ve got no problem with Marvel capitalizing on the the new President to sell some comics. I do have a problem that they purposely short-printed the comic to reward the hoarders and scalpers.

Of course, if you hadn’t told me that was Obama in the picture, I never would have guessed. It looks nothing like him.

Insanity

Amazing!!! The first US president whose very existence is putting food on the tables of many americans. I am a spiderman fan myself. I never liked Superman and how he has been over-rated. Obama needs to get in touch with me so that we can talk a lot more about Spiderman. I would love it.

U.S. of KKK, white supremist America, America engaged in genocide against blacks, U.S. invented AIDS, Obama elected president
Never never never — Burris — well maybe — well okay — CBC endorsed — hell yes
yeah, things are just now getting ridiculous — oh, I like Obama too.

Well….my son has now lost total respect for his favorite superhero – Spiderman.

Talk about squashing a little boy’s world.

(Here’s a quick back and forth between two commenters. The second commenter’s supercilious attitude is palpable through his terrible spelling and grammar, and for that alone I laugh.)

Hey spud799………You’re just upset, because GWB wasn’t decent enough to be in the superhero comics…..EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!!!! BAO has the smarts and the integrity to be a decent President for ALL of America…….not just for the greedy rich!!

Get you acronyms right if your going to criticize. BAO? I think the correct I.D. is BHO.
Scouts Out!

“Obama collectibles” – oxymoron
Marvel comics – trying to shamelessly cash in on the hype
What’s next ? A Nancy Pelosi “fake beard”, a Harry Reid autographed bottle of suppositories?

I hope that when the Chicago mess gets even worse and all of “O”s corruption becomes, finally, public, Spiderman will come to the rescue and bring him to justice….and put him behind bars where he belongs!

Get off the internet, people. Get off the internet forever.

Bonus Actual hilarity! I didn’t expect to see anything like this on USA Today:

All I know is that somebody needs to get a radioactive spider to bite Paul Volcker. Because right now, I think what we need is a superhuman economist.



I’d rather being in Iraq 4 more years than living in a communist coutry under Obama admin!


by Charlie Bebattica

The Democratic primary season is over, so let the post-mortems begin! Over at ABC.com, Matthew Dowd has submitted his contribution in what promises to be 2008′s biggest growth industry. There’s nothing in Dowd’s piece that hasn’t been already said, though this self-consciously “hep” analogy ranked high on the cringe-worthy index:

Obama was the Ipod of this election, while Clinton was the Walkman. The Walkman is reliable and easy to use and works great, it just doesn’t have the hip factor that an Ipod does.

So Obama will be replaced each six months by a slimmer model with more functionality? Go politics 2.0!

It’s the comments, however, where things really get “off da hook,” as the kidz say. (They do say that, right?)

“white woman ind. voter”:

SHE WAS TO SELF CENTERED ALL FOR HERSELF AND TO HECK WITH THE REAS OF YOU,NOW SHE WANT VEE P NO way THE ARE ALREADY USING HER WORDS TO SMEAR HIM THANKS HILLY YOU WITCH

“s.b.”:

Easy answer voter fraud at caucuses and at the DNC.

Fraud is Chicago politics as usual.

Too bad voter intimidation and rigging caucuses with out of state students wont work in a general election.

He is unelectable and Democrats are dumb. 35% of Clinton voters are walking.

Yeah, you do that. Take your ball, go home, and let a man eight orders of magnitude to the right of Clinton walk off with the election. THAT’LL SHOW THEM!

“freetradein” does some freestylin’:

hillary what a disasta…just like nafta…shakin’ hands with newt….keeping the vote open past 15 minutes and bribing houston congressperson with million dollar contracts….0 the humanity!…maybe she’ll get fsc

Word up, DNC! Supah-delegates represent!

“Joan”:

To All Obama Supporters: You go ahead keep being mean;guess what, Obama WILL lose in Nov. because a big portion of Hillary’s supporters, including my whole family, will vote for McCain in Nov.!

How to spot Joan’s family at the polling station: Look for the group of people who have cut off their noses to spite their faces.

“novote” smells a conspiracy:

Obama can get all the delegates and super ones too. Not my vote though.
I bet all the conspirators will eliminate write in candidates to prevent Hillary from the ballot.

“nomob” (who in no way is “novote” posting under a different user name) blames the media:

The media has helped to create the Obama momentum when it treated Obama as a rockstar and acted as his advance men during much of the early campaign.
Once the momentum is on track, the celebrity-blinded public just followed the crowd without questioning. And the crown got bigger and bigger.
Belatedly when the media started to look into the truth of this rock star Obama, all the eyebrow-raising questions about this man did not matter anymore because the blind passion obstructed any fact and truth.
Hillary’s message and her contributions to America have been washed away by the tsunami of the mob passion.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF THE MOB WITH THE HELP OF MEDIA DRUMMER BOYS.
CONGRATULATIONS! AMERICA.

…and after having read the umpteen near-identical screed along these lines:

I have a son 16 years old!
I do not mind him to go to Iraq if he wishes to go!
I would have votedd for hillary but will never vote for Obama!
I’d rather being in Iraq 4 more years than living in a communist coutry under Obama admin!
Go McCain
Janet thanks for the link!
I just donated %10 for McCain!

…the only thing I’m convinced of is that there needs to be a mandatory intelligence test before one can use the internet, much less vote in a national election.



Anything is better than a lying white woman.

If you’re interested in the upcoming presidential election, CNN.com is as good a place as any to visit. If you’re interested in filling yourself with despair at the state of the American electorate, CNN.com is an awesome place to visit.

CNN’s political ticker, where they track the ebb and flow of this seemingly endless campaign, offers readers the opportunity to leave comments about each piece. The comments are usually more entertaining than the actual articles – if you find idiocy, poorly informed opinions, and bigotry entertaining, that is.

Let’s take a look at the following article on the Political Ticker, dated April 3rd:

GROWING NUMBER SAY COUNTRY READY FOR BLACK PRESIDENT

Reader Bon gives us a global perspective on why black people are unfit to lead:

Show me a country run by a black president and I’ll show you a place plagued by corruption, violence and general mismanagement.

Absolutely, But Not Obama is confused:

hey what happened to my comment?

We’re reading it, dumbass.

Meanwhile, Vig thinks the whole thing smells fishy and is willing to get all Dirty Harry on your ass:

Well, here’s another Obama favoritism – did they poll people to see if they are ready for a woman president? Well, did you punk?

Actually, Vig, if you had bothered to read the article you might have noticed this passage:The poll also suggested more Americans think the country is ready for a black president than a female president. Sixty-three percent of those surveyed say the country is ready for a female president, 13 points lower than those who say the country is ready for a black president.

Big K gets a dig in at all the descendents of slaves who might happen to be reading:

If Obama loses the election, will he ask for reparation? I’ll stick with Senator John.

Debra is just as pissed as Vig, but not nearly as tough. She’s just upset that there wasn’t a reseach:

Why no Research about gender? How many Americans are ready for a female President? I guess that the porcentage might be lower, but it dosn´t matter. There should have been a reseach!

Actually, Debra, if you had bothered to read… ah, skip it.Robert, IL (typical white male) is ready for a black president! Because…

Anything is better than a lying white woman.

Spoken like a true redneck divorcee.Bill from Covington has confused the headline of the article with the poll itself:

’Growing number say country is ready for a black president’ I notice they say “country” why not name the country. If you ask is the United States of America ready for a black president, what would be the answer? Quit playing games with polls, we all realize how easily they can be manipulated.

Yes, you horrible headline writers! Quit playing games with polls that you have nothing to do with!

Dallas thinks the entire thing is MISLEADING!

Very MISLEADING Is there a poll asking if the country is ready for a female president, to be fair?”

Actually Dallas, if you had bothered to read…

Will is another “typical white person” with an opinion:

I don’t think so. I am a typical white person, and I will not vote for that black racist, along with probably 70% of typical white people will not vote for Obama. Chew on that.”

Well, now that we’ve heard from the official Ambassador of Typical White People, let’s end things with some wisdom from Jimmy, who brings a certain pop cultural wisdom to the world of politics:

But we are not ready for a woman president. Look at that commander and chief show with Geena Davis – cancelled. On the other hand there have already been 2 black presidents on 24. Co-incidence? I think not. Hillary is fighting an uphill battle. May be in 4 years.

America is totally doomed.



Was he named after Sadam Husain?


by Kevin Church

Barack Obama is coming to Indianapolis today to do the usual pulpit-slapping and dramatic pausing that has made him a leader to so many Democrats. Of course, not everyone is very impressed by this, including one gentleman who wants to refer to himself as “The fireman”

I don’t understand how the American people can elect a man of Islamic descent. All the trouble we are having is due to the Islamic people and we (some people) are trying to get one of the elected as president. His name should have caused lights to go off Barack Husain Obama, what American heritage is that. Was he named after Sadam Husain? It don’t make since to me how this can be happening to our wonderful country. Just like immagration and all the illegals here flying the flag of Mexico in their yard and on the vehicles. It should be against the law. Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 said “There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who is an AMERICAN, but something else also, isn’t an AMERICAN at all. We have room for but one flag, the AMERICAN flag…We have room for but one language here,and that is the English language…And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the AMERICAN people.”
We need to get back to this way of thinking and stop being afraid of stepping on someones toes. This is our country, we should fight to keep it ours.

Apparently the cognitive dissonance between the spelling here and the Teddy Roosevelt quote is invisible to the St. Louis resident.
