As Pat Boone took Tutti-Fruti , so does the Hillary Campaign with the Unimaginative GOMAMA!

[FrenchieCat]

and in one case, this is worse, because the Hillary campaign is soooooo unimaginative that it felt compeled to take the actual play on word of the opponents' last name, a motto that he was himself using, and attempt to use it for itselves.

Not one original bone in Hillary's mind, I see. Doesn't bode well for where she will get "original" ideas if she ever became President.

[goldcanyonaz]

1. Obama stole "Yes We Can" from Bob the Builder. Talk about UNORIGINAL.

[msongs]

3. more likely stolen from the UFW nt

[FrenchieCat]

4. You are soooooo Pat Boony!

Yes, from now on, Hillary supporters will be called "THE PAT BOONES of the 21st century"! :rofl:

[Radical Activist]

65. lol Bob the builder

That's funny.

[maddiejoan]

2. Oh relax

It;s not the Hillary campaign

It's just a bunch of goofball Hillary supporters on DU.

Oh --and--




















GOMAMA!

[FrenchieCat]

5. OK.....Pat Boone!

Will Obama get a check for royalties. Just asking?

[maddiejoan]

6. Is Obama gonna pay royalties

for "Yes We Can"?

[FrenchieCat]

8. Pat Boone, is that you.

I believe that he already got permission.

[maddiejoan]

10. So did Pat Boone

So I guess Obama is Pat Boone.

and since Hillary doesn't use "Go Mama"

it's just us "Hillbots" having fun at your expense.

[NanceGreggs]

7. Well, I'm just glad that people ...

... are honing-in on the important issues - like who stole whose 'slogan', or are 'unimaginative' in their play-on-words.

There's way too many people here who are concerning themselves with issues like the war, education, SCOTUS appointments, the national debt, etc.

Let's all remember that campaign slogans and mottoes are what this election is REALLY all about!

[FrenchieCat]

12. Unfortunately.....GOMAMA is too close to OBAMA for this to be as silly

as I would normally believe. Obama is actually the name of someone who's running for President's last name.

It's like if I started using "NO MORE FILTHERY" as my motto.

Plus, I will add.....when the "Snub" was all over the TV, I realized that what is supposed to be small, isn't.
Same goes for the Reagan bullshit.

[NanceGreggs]

13. This whole pseudo discussion is silly ...

But it's still a free country - so feel free to focus your attention on utter nonsense - like slogans, mottoes, and the snub. Those are the kinds of issues that really need attention, and will undoubtedly change the country for the better.

[Straight Shooter]

14. Sadly, Nance, Newsweek has an article that people vote with their "gut," not with their head.

Slogans do matter to many people. Companies sue the pants off other companies for stealing their slogans. "War on terror" is a slogan. "Freedom isn't free" is a slogan. Slogans motivate. They condense an entire issue into three pithy words for the believers in that slogan to repeat and print on yellow magnets and such.

Flashy political events in tandem with major sports events also represent the turning away from issues and the turning to "something shiny" mentality of Americans. We have finally reached the epitome of what we represent to the world: sports, celebrities, politicians, all wrapped up in one pretty package of entertainment.

Thank goodness I don't watch television. Just reading about it makes me feel queasy. I can't wait to hear who Britney Spears is considering voting for. Ack.

[NanceGreggs]

23. Slogans may be important to 'some people' ...

... but at this point in the process, I doubt that an Obama supporter is going to change their mind based on a slogan, or vice-versa.

And to suggest that any candidate's fitness for the presidency should be judged on their 'slogan creativity' is as worthless a debate as ever I've heard, anywhere, at any time.

Things like For Those Who Think Young and The Pause that Refreshes should be relegated to soft drink commercials, NOT serious debate about presidential elections.

[Straight Shooter]

43. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just commenting on what I see in everyday life.

Sort of like two diamond rings of equal value, same design, one sold by a department store, one sold by Tiffany's. Which one holds higher value in the purchaser's mind?

Slogans, brands, logos, color schemes, uniform designs, they're all designed to persuade and influence. Issues? That's been thrown out with the bathwater. Sad.

[Bluebear]

68. Word.

9. That topic used to have a real racial context. I guess you don't know that,

15. How very silly.

I am being kind.

[Bluebear]

52. "I am being kind"

:rofl:

[ErnestoG]

16. Hillarites are about as creative as Bush is eloquent

[Straight Shooter]

17. Speaking of bush, his 2004 campaign slogan was "Yes America Can"

Barack isn't so very creative, either.

[ErnestoG]

21. I guess you havent seen Obama's website. Best in the campaign

[Straight Shooter]

22. Eye of the beholder. n/t

[ErnestoG]

26. I guess the voters are beginning to approve too.

[Duncan Grant]

18. Why, oh why, do I even log on to DU anymore?

:eyes:

[Straight Shooter]

19. Slow-mo train wrecks are fascinating. n/t

[NMMNG]

29. Masochism?

:shrug:

[Bluebear]

32. 'attempt to use it for itselves'

:crazy:

[Cha]

20. hilarys are sinking fast and grabbing

at Obama slogans and anything they can get their unoriginal fingers on.

[ErnestoG]

24. Like the poor souls who were lost on the Titanic.

I think Hillary's campaign photo should be standing at the maiden head of large passenger vessel, with her arms outstretched...

[Cha]

30. You gotta be sinking

to try and sell "gomama" and "yes she can"..boo..they say imitation is the highest form of flattery but this is a presidential campaign for gawd's sake not a fashion trend.

[ErnestoG]

54. Gawd...float them to the bottom of the Atlantic already. They are so TEDIOUS.

[Straight Shooter]

25. See posts 1, 3, and 17. n/t

[Sapphocrat]

27. Now THAT is a racist remark. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

28. a wap baba loola a wap bam boom!

[Bluebear]

31. OMG you think Hillary makes up her campaign slogans? HAAHahahaahaha

Pat Boone!!?!?!! :rofl:


"attempt to use it for itselves" . . .really. You're embarrassing yourself ;)

[NMMNG]

34. You got it wrong at

"you think". :shrug:

[Bluebear]

35. This doesn't rival "Give me some of that BAM", but it's right up there.

[MonkeyFunk]

33. MaddieJoan's little joke

really got under your skin, didn't it?

Good.

[Bluebear]

36. Do you have an original bone in YOUR mind?

:crazy:

This place is getting weirder by the day!

[MonkeyFunk]

38. My mind is pretty boneless

But some people here sure seem to have some cerebral ossification.

[bidenista]

39. obama called his rezko decision "boneheaded"

Maybe that's what this all comes down to. Obama supporters took him literally, and now they're wandering the world with a sadly skewed understanding of human anatomy.

[Clintonista2]

50. LOL

[Bluebear]

40. OMG now she made it into her sig line.

I still don't get it. :crazy:

[MonkeyFunk]

44. She?

This man made it his sigline because I find the reaction to it supremely funny. And it's a tribute to my old friend Maddiejoan.

[Bluebear]

45. Yeah, the OP

[MonkeyFunk]

46. oh sorry

I didn't see that.

[Bluebear]

47. "PAT BOONE STOLE GOBAMA, RENAMED IT GOMAMA!"

What. The. Fuck.

[MonkeyFunk]

48. lol

Yeah, it's a headscratcher.

[Occam Bandage]

53. Here I thought you weren't into lowbrow spite.

[bidenista]

37. series?!!1 pat boone stole tuutitfruity?!?!?! OMG, THIS IS HUGH!!!1!!11!!

I swear, if I read one more thread from an Obama supporter making schoolmarmish complaints about the "GoMama" gag, I am going to make my sig into a GoMama banner.

[paulk]

41. jesus ....

get a life!

[avaistheone1]

42. Well imagine how we feel!

Obama and Hillary have been stealing parts of Edwards campaign right and left!!!

[Clintonista2]

49. GOMAMA! CLINTON 2008!

[Perry Logan]

51. Get Barack. Get Barack. Get Barack to where you belong...

[DemGa]

55. Yes, this is very much indicative of

nothing.

[Bluebear]

56. ...

:spray:

[Bluebear]

61. .

[meow mix]

57. "gomama" i know...

*shakes head*

this is the best they can do.. pretty lame. lol

[Bluebear]

58. Yeah, what would Pat Boone say?

:wtf:

[thoughtcrime1984]

59. Follow the leader, ya know?

See you after ST, Dems.

[LostinVA]

60. I am SICK of your race baiting

[MzShellG]

64. Where did she mention race?

[Bucky]

62. Please quit trying to use race as a wedge to divide Democrats

First Bill Clinton and now you. I find such tactics appalling.

[CorpGovActivist]

63. Well, Peter Griffin has an appropriate quote on this...

... when you get a moment, PM me for a laugh.

You do good work, FrenchieCat! (Now I have Spider Pig in my head.)

- Dave

[Radical Activist]

66. Far more serious is the lack of new policy ideas from Hillary.

She's running a campaign with no new ideas or tactics. There's nothing coming from her that I haven't seen a million times before.

[kelligesq]

67. She could be worst candidate in world, but many r going to vote 4 her bcz of OP threads like this

too bad they're ruining chances for their candidate by the constant non
stop vitriol

[Bluebear]

69. Vitriol AND stupidity!

[FrenchieCat]

70. Looking in the mirror again, hey?

[Bluebear]

71. Yeah, hey. This is THE stupidest post ever on DU. Pat Boone lol

[FrenchieCat]

72. Yep...Represents someone that takes the ideas of others and doesn't pay royalties!

[NMMNG]

73. When is Obama going to pay Jeremiah Wright royalties for

"The Audacity of Hope"?

[Dogmudgeon]

74. Hillary shamelessly plagiarizes; Obama pays respectful tribute

Got it.

--p!

[rodeodance]

75. I think there is lot new about her new enviroment/energy plan.

[rodeodance]

76. Nothing of SUBSTANCE on this thread--obamababies like their leader. He sets a poor example.
