Hacked Blackberry message from Obama proves he snubbed Dean in 15-minute press conference!

[zulchzulu]

Finally, we have proof that Barack Obama, pre-President and obvious keeper of making sure Howard Dean is snubbed, drubbed, scrubbed and otherwise pugged when the 15 minute press conference was held today where former Governor Kaine will try to subject all Democratic fundraiser participants with his Powerpoint presentation (authored by pro-pharmaceutical Nazi, Sanjay Gupta) and was apparently co-written with a small introduction about fast food intake (authored by Rick Warren).

Is that a sentence? Oh well.

And Howard Dean, a doctor who could have been Surgeon General if he hadn't said he wanted to be one and liked Obama's choice, is going to some crazy place called American Samoa to an obviously liberal town named Pago Pago to supposedly give a speech and raise money. Could he have at least contacted the Huffington Post before he decided to go to some island town with a funny name that only pothead pirates would have come up with? I mean, sheesh...

Meanwhile, Barack Obama, a colored, black, negro, African-American, obviously has something to do with the obvious expulsion (and perhaps Muslim excommunication) of Howard Dean when he had a press conference for what appears to be someone who is not black. Why isn't Howard Dean black? It's Barack Obama's fault. Or at least Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid are to blame... why aren't people protesting that Howard Dean is white? You can see where this is going.

What is the REAL Democratic Party to do about this MAJOR issue? Are they all straight people who have no idea what gay people have to deal with? Are they all Comedy Central watchers who have no idea that Stephen Colbert is a liberal? Are white straight people all as hateful because they might have gone to McDonald's recently?

It's up to us to make something out of nothing! We need to complain and continue to complain if only because complaining works well when you are watching South Park and are buzzed on cheap alcoholic products. Even decent weed is hard to come by in this bailout-seasoned trauma. Perhaps it's the yearning for such cheap buzzes and having to go to the AA meeting on Saturday morning... or not having authentic Inauguration tix even if you plan on staying in Generica for the festivities... on mute of course.

So about that hacked Blackberry message from Obama... OK, there isn't one. But thanks to search engines and people recommending this OP, it CAN BE TRUE! Nobody really reads anything but the headlines anyway.

That's why we are all so fucking smart.

1. He's a MAGIC negro .... you left that part out. MAGIC. NT

[FrenchieCat]

4. And that means something....especially to Republicans!

He supposed to solve all of the world's problems, change every single thing there is to change, offer stuff that he didn't run on, and don't do the stuff that he promised while running. On top of that, he must be perfect although that would make him the Messiah, which according to most, he certainly is not. Now, that takes a Magic Negro to get all of this done. Surely.

[Clio the Leo]

5. No no no, it just means .....

.... that he can pull rabbits out of stuff and chop pretty ladies in half.

I think.

[Hekate]

8. The Pubs are all jealous because even Spiderman likes Obama. Bet Spidey never liked Bush/Cheney. nt

[Cha]

27. Lol..

:rofl: And, to think I was so disheartened last night I was going to take a break. I can't stay away.

[madfloridian]

2. You never used to sound this way.

People are changing here.

[zulchzulu]

3. Sound what way?

I'm sick of the faux outrage.

Face it. This place is getting entirely hard to handle these days.

Is everyone fuming because things are really that bad?

[Chulanowa]

14. Nope. They're pissed because they don't know who to be pissed at anymore

DU's entire existence has, from day one, been about tearing apart Republican errors, exposing that bunch of turtlefuckers for the criminals and froads that htey are, and so on. On other words, DU was a place of righteous Fury.

But now our guys are in charge, but we're still pissed about the last guys who were in charge. What's the reasonable solution here? Well, apaprently the period between November 4 and January 20th is officially DU's "Fuck the lousy goddamned Democrats and that big-eared macacca piece of shit they elected!!!!`!1121!@@1!!!" holiday. Sort of a pressure release valve in which every single Democrat and every single word, statement, and nose-picking results in at least thirty threads of hair-pulling, heavens-wailing, arm-slashing outrage and angst.

I imagine by February 2nd it'll be back to some tolerable level. Either that or we'll have to start all over again and again and again...

[Hissyspit]

28. No.

As it says in the rules, this is a progressive website and people come here to discuss progressive issues.

It doesn't say anything about only holding Republicans responsible for not being progressive.

[Skidmore]

17. I love ya, zulch, and agree with you about

the change in tone at DU. However, I would do think Dr. Dean deserves a place of substance in the administration. He has provided solid leadership at a time when there was not more than a vacuum to fill. I'd support him over Gupta in a heartbeat.

Yes, we did and now we must continue to work together.

[Kahuna]

18. It's becoming a cesspool. nt

[AtomicKitten]

6. Well, thanks for clearing that up. ;)

I'm exhausted: Politics, life, DU.

[zulchzulu]

7. AK!

let's go to Pago Pago! Someday!

[AtomicKitten]

9. sounds divine

[roody]

10. Fast food intake by Rick Warren?

hmmmm...he may be an expert on that.

[The Doctor.]

11. Nice piece.

Well, not 'nice', but quite brilliant.

[SwampG8r]

12. if there was a smilee thingee

for scratching my head and going huh? i would use it here


i think decent weed is easier to find than you say!

great post!on the spot!

[slay]

13. I quite like pothead pirates

and sorry, but yes, Dean has been snubbed and IMO disrespected. But thanks for telling ME what I should consider important. I was unclear about that before. But I am very clear about it now. How did I ever live without your guidance? sigh...

[EraOfResponsibility]

15. Excellent thread, would read again n/t

[NYC_SKP]

16. Recommending for broader readership, and...

I kinda wish I'd written it. :thumbsup:

:kick:

[K Gardner]

19. Oh NOES.. sarcasm ! I think under the new guidelines, that means you're a "bully" ! Even tho

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and guffawed loudly, I better not say so because then I'll be a bully, too.

(nicely done)

[zulchzulu]

31. I don't get this "bully" crap

I had fun writing this OP... glad you liked it. I let off some steam about how some of the hand-wringing and whatnot are just getting a tad silly for my tastes. But is it "bullying"? It might be time for another installment of...

First, I need to shovel some snow. Maybe that's my problem.

:hi:

[mmonk]

20. If you don't want diversity of opinion or power sharing in the party, keep at it.

You may get your wish.

[tomp]

21. i'm smart!

[phleshdef]

22. Hah. Most sensible post this week.

[formercia]

23. Howard Dean will never be considered for Surgeon General.

He's too uppity.

You're supposed to laugh.

[K Gardner]

[JuniperLea]

:rofl:
