Imagine The President's Daughters Looking Out Their Window To See This....

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

And they were joined by these imbeciles who have been described more than once as "leaders" of the Republican Party....


I guess we should have expected an increase in this type of garbage in President Obama's second term.

We as Democrats need to fight against such racism and blatant disrespect.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Don't think there could have been many Marine Corps vets there....

or that asshole in the hat would have had a Confederate battle flag enema.

[rdharma]

2. "Quick look, Malia! Is that Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel from the Simpsons?"

"It sure looks like him, Sasha!"

[Coyotl]

14. Some rich Republican paid him and dressed him up, I bet.

See post # 10 below.

[sheshe2]

3. Tell me I am seeing things...

This picture of Cruz and Palin were taken at the rally today? Their hands are held over their hearts (from the looks of it)passionately saluting the confederate flag??? Seriously?

Dear Gawd, Matt!

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

5. To be fair, they weren't exactly saluting the Confederate flag...

But they were their sheshe! And they are the new, "courageous" leaders of the Republican Party!

[sheshe2]

8. Matt...

Whether they were saluting the flag or not, the look on their faces is disgusting.

The passion that they show in an attempt to bring America to her knees, frankly it makes my brain numb. So much passion to cause so much pain to the people.

Get the students out in 2014, Matt. I know you will. These terrorists must go.

Thank you so much for this OP.

[niyad]

43. what were they saluting then, because I don't see another flag in evidence.

[Jenoch]

49. You don't see another flag because the photo was taken with a fairly close shot of them.

If the photo were taken zoomed out, there would likely be an American flag.

[niyad]

60. "likely" isn't "is", you know.

[Jenoch]

61. Oh, come on.

I don't think much of those two but even I am big enough to admit that they were looking at a U.S. flag.

[niyad]

62. you are, of course, free to believe whatever you choose.

[Cha]

11. The Klan's their homies.. they damn well better salute their flag, she..

Please see my observation as to what was going on there..

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3844370



Nevermind, I see you saw it!

[sheshe2]

12. Ha!

And I thought I was tired~

[Cha]

15. No, I just wanted you to see

it.. and then I got your reply. I'm wide awake.. got plenty of sleep last night.

And, the night is young here unlike way back there across the Ocean and 3 Thousand miles more!

[sheshe2]

17. I know, I have a sad...

must go to bed soon~

[freshwest]

35. Yes, that 'The South Is Gonna Rise Again' look.

[Voice for Peace]

29. I think they have a thing going on, or about to be going on.

[pkdu]

4. Yep , "Special" ....for sure!...

[coeur_de_lion]

6. Yeah short bus special

[Cha]

7. What? the KLUELESS KLUX KLAN and the fucking rapture look

on ted and what's her name's pipe hole like they're going to be taken up into the ethers any second now?

[sheshe2]

9. It's okay, let them go to the rapture they so desperately crave.

Then they can leave the rest of us alone. We can seek happier and healthier lives without their blind hate, Cha.

[Coyotl]

10. The moran guy wasn't "Special Deluxe" but this guy sure is.

With supporters like this guy, who needs political enemies?

You have to be "Special Deluxe" to buy your $28.00 tee-shirts from your English saddle specialist! This guy is a plant, not a redneck!

Get your tee for a mere $28.00.

21. "Million Vet" March Organizers Condemn Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and the Tea Party

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023844015

The tea party, Sarah Palin, and Ted Cruz tried to hijack the Million Vet March for political and personal gain, and event organizers condemned them for politicizing the march.
....

[stevenleser]

51. I just shared the Organizer's facebook post on FB. Everyone should share that and tweet it.

That's a huge deal and a big slap in the face to Palin, Cruz and the Tea Party.

[maddiemom]

41. Why the crack about "English saddle specialist." Is that somehow subversive?

Those guys sell livestock and vet supplies. Certainly they aren't known for any kind of saddlery, as far as I know. The redneck types who would buy this shirt are the types who would make cracks about English saddles. You have me puzzled. Be nice if you could explain your reference.

[Coyotl]

42. Faux redneck!

Why is a presumed-to-be-redneck wearing a $28.00 tee from an English saddle supplier?
Because this was staged by the wealthy people who buy English saddles and $28.00 tees.

[maddiemom]

46. I got your point, but you're still missing mine. These guys sell livestock and vet supplies.

Obviously the model is a plant, but farmer and livestock people would recognize the company. People who ride English saddles, not so much. You seem to consider buying an English saddle a slur. Western saddles can cost tons more, all else relative. AND I don't know if this company even sells tack. Get what I'm saying now? This is NOT primarily an English Saddle provider, if at all. The ad IS mindless, but not for the reason you you chose to reference.

[maddiemom]

47. P.S. While wer're on the subject of "faux" rednecks (or down to earth men of the people),

If I have to look at one more barn coat on the campaign trail, I can't be held responsible if I'm there in person and finally snap.

[JI7]

13. at least they know the country rejected them

[Coyotl]

16. Finally a reason for shutting down the government, so they could get 100 people to show up just once

Let me see if I have this figured out correctly.

1. The Republicans shut down the government.
2. The Republicans organize a protest of the government shutdown at the White House.
3. The American people see 100 Teajadists and the confederate flag at the White House and blame Obama.
Yeah, like that's going to spark their awaited revolution and the end times.

4. Elephants will fly.

[Cali_Democrat]

18. That guy looks like such a hillbilly

Typical.

Exactly the kind of nitwit I would expect to see waving the confederate flag.

[backscatter712]

19. This video makes me feel much better...

Not a new video, but it warms my heart...

[pitbullgirl1965]

34. That is awesome.

[TheDebbieDee]

20. I could see that the protests at the Whitehouse could increase in intensity

until White House security is provoked into firing pepper spray into the crowd as a gentle pushback.

Then, watch out! The repuke outrage machine will go into full blast and all hell will break lose!

[Erose999]

22. Hey look, Carnival Cruz is wearing one of those "barn jackets". The kind farmers and people who lose

presidential elections wear.

[Erose999]

23. I bet he had a corn dog that day too.

[cui bono]

24. Not surprised that Palin can't find her heart.

[Recursion]

25. Marines don't carry enemy flags

I'm calling bullshit on that goateed douchebag.

Also: saluting out of uniform, particularly with no hat, is stupid.

[davidpdx]

26. What an insult to those who served in the Marines

The Marine flag should in no way be used as it was in this picture.

[freshwest]

36. That's what was creepy. Those guys were Marines? Oathkeepers? What?

[blkmusclmachine]

27. Ugh.

[Unknown Beatle]

28. Failin' Palin

Is false saluting the flag. She doesn't give a damn about America, all she cares about is a good photo-op and cash. Grifter through and through.

People like her make their money by playing to the lowest common denominator, teabaggers and their ilk.

[CoffeeCat]

64. Yep, and it was just announced that Palin will be in my state...

...in the near future. I live in Iowa. So, she may have her
sites on the Presidency or on being on someone's ticket.

Makes you want to hurl doesn't it?

I may have to leave the state that day. Ugh.

[grantcart]

30. "honey come over and see the funny trick or treaters who came early"

Those are 2 people who I don't worry about.

Great grand mother and parents.

Bet they all had a good laugh.

[dcweed]

31. Be careful, please

These people are not insane; they simply don't give a damn for those who are not white and rich. For them it is a short distance between demanding an end to the ACA and demanding the return of slavery. Fight them at all costs, but never underestimate their hidden hatred of everything not white.

[Skittles]

32. BEST.FIRST.POST.EVER.

[Hoyt]

33. Yes.

[freshwest]

37. +100

[gopiscrap]

38. welcome to DU

[madrchsod]

39. yup...best first post ever! ...

[CherokeeDem]

40. Nailed it....

Welcome to DU and great post...

These people are all about them... nothing more.

We have a repug in our office who whines if anyone gets something she doesn't get. It's always about her. She spends her days railing against Obama and the Dems...

Everything is about them... and their 'Kind'....

[lunasun]

63. +1

[niyad]

44. is there one picture of either of them, at any time, where they don't look like completely clueless

caricatures of human beings?

[toby jo]

45. The President's daughters are in the White House, and looking down - enough said.

[Orsino]

48. It's sad to see a race rally demeaned...

...with Cruzes and Palins. Those racists may never overcome the stigma.

[Jenoch]

50. Two things I just don't understand....

Why would anyone outside of the south want to be associated with the Confederate flag? (I see them in Minnesota sometimes.)

And why would anyone think Sarah Palin has anything to offer? That would be like Democrats looking to John Edwards for leadership.

[wilt the stilt]

55. anyone outside the south

displaying a confederate flag is a racist through and through.

[Jenoch]

56. I don't that is always the case.

I think sometimes it is more about attempting to appear to be a redneck, but not so much of a redneck as to be racist. I think it would be people who are fans of such entertainers as Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, or the Duck Dynasty guys. I guess I answered my own question, but I still think it's idiotic. Plus, I'm not a fan of the entertainers I just mentioned.

[datasuspect]

59. because many white people FEAR non white encroachment on white privilege

[Liberalynn]

52. It is disgusting

It is also disgusting those pieces of filth were allowed near the Lincoln monument as well.


And no I did not make a grammatical mistake in using the plural for I am not just referring to the Confederate Flag alone but Caribou Barbie and all her little Friends as well.

It's too bad statues can't come to life. I would love for old Abe to get up and kick their f...ing asses.

[Gothmog]

53. According to Juanita Jean, Cruz is wearing his "Rick Perry, I am not Gay" jacket

http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/10/13/i-knew-i-shouldnt-have-walked-away-from-the-computer-for-five-hours-i-knew-that-was-too-long-for-ted-cruz-to-stay-out-of-crazyville/

It’s because he was wearing Rick Perry’s “I am not gay” jacket.





That jacket has become famous as the Texas lyin’ politician jacket.

All lying Texas politicians wear this jacket

[Blue Owl]

54. NeoConTederate Cruz is rapt in a racist swoon

n/t

[applegrove]

57. Just sick!

[sulphurdunn]

58. Some of these guys

must have liked military service a lot more than I did. I reserve my military salute for the fallen. I stand to show respect to the flag. I do not salute it or say the Pledge. I don't even own a flag pin for the lapel of the suit I wear only to weddings, funerals and job interviews. I would rather rumble in a bar with drunk grizzly bears than wear a garrison cap. And these teabag fuckers think they're the real patriots.
